Good thing I didnt go see them then..

The teenagers were rubbish, but the frontman was hilarious, it was like watching the best car crash ever.

Many many local and indistinguishable hardcore and metal acts.

Warrior Soul Supporting Metallica in 1989. They were supposed to be the next big thing according to Metallica themselves. Fucking numptys.

Genital Deformities supporting Venom. Actually they were both atrocious so I haven't got a clue why I went.

Calvin Harris supporting Faithless a couple of years back. Bland disco Pop.

Saw Calvin Harris DJ a few months ago, he wasn't too bad when he wasn't playing his own songs.

Aside from some painfully bad bands that my mates are in;

Resist - Saw them supporting the Fall about four years ago. Gut-wrenchingly awful nu-metal-type garbage. I can only think they were on the bill as some sort of sick joke.

The Wombats - If you think they're bad in the studio, wait 'til you see them live. An ex-flatmate took me to a gig of theirs a couple of years back (note the use of the word 'ex').

Really? I thought they put on an excellent live show.

I think MGMT might be mine.

they gave me and a friend a migraine

and i guess the entire crowd too, by the way they stood bewildered for their entire set.

it was probably bad equipment or lack of a thorough sound check but man, noise rock is one thing but piercing guitar sounds for an hour and a bit is another.

i've heard that from so many people that MGMT were awful. all i've seen are videos of them and it looks like all they do is jump and clap.

mine would probably be the opener for a QOTSA concert a while ago that labeled themselves "The Vultures of Culture". fcking abysmal, every song was the same structure: garbage vocals and power chords with a cheesy Casio playing over top of everything. it was so bad that Josh Homme had to come out early and tell the crowd to shut up.

Enrique Iglesias at the rodeo here in Houston. For the second time. Don't ask how I got roped into doing that twice. The only good part was at the end as he was leaving the arena in the standing in the back of a pick up truck, when this girl jumps the barrier and pulls a T-1000 on the tailgate, her feet dragging behind her in the dirt. And he was freaking out, like he didn't know whether to pull her into the truck, or stomp on her hand to make her let go.

Just tonight a band called "Black Saint Cartel" was one of the openers, that was tuff.
