Bands You Saw That Were Crap Live

[Wilka]

I agree with Ian Brown. The worst live performance i've ever seen.

The Zuton's were crap when I saw them supporting Mull Historical Society.

Worst Gig ever.....Ocean colour scene (sh*t) at the ipswich regent ( oct 1996) with support from the real people (really sh*t) who were basically 40y ro's trying to sound like Oasis

 

[Double Hard Bastard]

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

Really? I saw them at Brixton & they were funking awesome!

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

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

Find that hrd to believe. Saw them on the Electric tour at Hammy Odeon and they ROCKED

Glad noone mentioned The Beatles. Most overrated band EVER

The Real People were Oasis before Oasis knew what Oasis were. They helped them with their first demos as well. Mind you look at The Beatles; they bloody copy everything the Gallaghers do.

Oasis at Wembley Stadium on the first night of the 2 nights they did for Familiar to Millions - they were awful! And by all accounts the second night was worse...

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Phil Collins at the Red Cross Inn
Appalling.

 

[Brian Fantana]

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

I think they were called "Chicks on Speed". I was there and I agree that they were truly awful.

 

[Trufflehound]

Saxon
Def Leppard
Rainbow

And, sadly, The Stranglers - twice.

Chicks on Speed aren't crap live, they are just crap full stop!

Where did you see them(stranglers)? I saw them at Brixton.

Once in Cardiff.

Once at Wembley supporting The Who. Bad fan alert: yes, I should have been at the Goldstone as it was the day we played Arsenal on our Division One debut. Hugh Cornwell only spoke to the crowd twice. One of the things he said was: "If you're a Brighton fan they just lost 4-nil." Twat.

Carter USM @ The Angel Centre, Tonbridge - a complete waste of oxygen.

 

[Don Quixote]

Glad noone mentioned The Beatles. Most overrated band EVER

f*** off, they are the greatest musicians to ever come out of Britain. It is people like you who make me sick.

 

[NMH]

Wire. They were just very silly, and that after they'd made a brilliant LP '154'

 

[NMH]

Doctors of Madness.

Contrived glambandwagon jumpers, and just a bunch of talentless turds.

Good cd, but obviously a band made up of session guys backing the creator of the album, who probably did the whole thing himself originally. So, they tour, but said frontman is a total spacker headcase, and despite a warming reception from the audience he rounds on them for not clapping and cheering enough!

Well, that really worked - not. He alienated the now-bemused audience, and had the band-members looking awfully embarrassed and nervous about playing behind him. Talk about blowing it!

I was there too ! And I well remember Hugh Cornwell announcing the result.

I saw The Stranglers 21 times altogether, and many of the earlier gigs (up until the Feline album) were brilliant, particularly with Jean-Jacques Burnel prowling the stage and doing karate kicks while playing a slow slung bass guitar - a real sense of menace. However, big outdoor gigs, like Wembley or Reading, did not really suit them.

They did get a bit mellow as the 1980s progressed, though, and their gigs seemed to be going through the motions. I lost interest after the abysmal 'Dreamtime' and '10' albums. So too did Hugh Cornwell, 'cos he quit the band in August 1990.

Stone Roses at Ally Pally terrible, Ian Brown at Brighton Centre worse, I can see a trend here....
Oasis at Brighton were shite as well.
