have you had a hearing test lately ??

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Pretenders - much more of a heavy rock band live than the singles suggested

 

[The Large One]

Not so much crap as hilarious...

Peter & The Test Tube Babies sounding dreadful and puking on stage the Scars & Stripes Benefit Gig.

Well I haven't seen Ian Brown perform solo. Maybe he got singing lessons or something because believe me at the time it was embarrassing

AC/DC

Though I don't like their music and was expecting nothing less, to be honest.

A dreadful end to a day on which I'd seen some great bands at Donnington Park.

 

[questier]

The Twang, saw them supporting Milburn in London, they were dreadful, got drinks thrown at them and were booed off

 

[algie]

Stranglers

 

[sten_super]

Kooks

unsurprisingly

 

[tinx]

Hole at Reading festival, not sure which year but Courtney love was utter shite and was booed off stage totally useless.

Ian Brown at the Brighton Centre supporting the Manics, he was really poor which was a shame because I had seen him before and since and he was excellent.

Kelis supporting U2 at earls court utter bollocks quite possibly the worst I have ever heard.

 

[Taybha]

the london philharmonic

 

[Skint Gull]

Some Aussie girl band that supported the Chili Peppers at Hyde Park a few years back got booed off after about one song.

Most dissappointing gig i've been to was recently when Cage the Elephant came to Concorde. I really like their album but I walked out after about 4 songs of the gig, TERRIBLE. Certainly a band that benefits from modern music production technology!

The Stone Roses are an absolute shower live!!! The boy really cant sing live !!!

To be fair Das, whilst being one of the greatest bands this country has produced and him being a fantastic solo artist the bloke cannot sing for toffee. But he has a stage presence very few can command.

I can see anyone who wasn't in to Stone Roses/Ian Brown would think what is all the hype about.

First time I ever saw Rage Against The Machine circa 96 they were truly awful. Still one of my favorite bands of all time.

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Agreed. Love the Roses but Brown ruined the gig, despite his stage presence. I had heard he was tone deaf but FCUK ME I paid 50 quid for the ticket and it was excruciating.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

I saw the Cult at finsbury Park in 91 & they were shocking !!

 

[Timbo]

Bananarama at Wembley Arena.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

New Order. seen em twice. Same as The Stone Roses, brilliant band, brilliant records. But not live.

 

[trueblue]

Pulp at Wembley Arena.

In a strange sort of way. Their songs just sounded too perfect - almost like sitting at home and putting the CD on. I prefer a bit of improvisation live.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

The Fish Brothers SOBER at last years Glastonwick, come on chaps gets some Cider down you before you hit the stage please.
