Worst live show you've ever seen? - Music - Forums : Best Ever Albums

Mine was Funkadelic and George Clinton. I love George but I could not tell who the hell was on stage and the sound was pretty bad. Looked like 40 people just having a private party on stage.

I saw Rise Against about five or six years ago, before they really hit it big. Rise Against completely owned that show, they were incredible, they interacted with the crowd really well, made sure everyone was having a good time and were a hell of a stage presence.

Saw them for the second time this year, at an outdoor concert festival they were headlining. They kinda sucked ass. They traded all that emphasis on crowd participation having a good time for spending time bitching about their poorly-conceived political views and shoving their own heads up their asses. They crowd was mostly young kids who'd never been in a mosh before, and it was a disaster.

Reminds me I still haven't got back to about Rise Against. We were talking about their political views I remember. Figures seen as the vocalist for them back in 2007 or 2008 said that bands like Fall Out Boy and Panic At The Disco should be doing more activism and be preaching causes to the kids now that they "hold their ears". While Rise Against haven't had that big hit, their albums are charting higher and higher, the last even managing the top 30 in the UK this year.

All my favorite bands I would love to be megastars but if these guys got to a U2 level of stardom they would think they are the only thing standing between this world and destruction.

My main issue with Tim McIllwrath's political activism isn't necessarily what he's preaching, but just that he seems entirely clueless about what he's preaching. I mean, musician activists like Bono or Morrissey at least knew what they were talking about, they did their research, they knew things, while Tim just seems to rehash the same cliche bullshit.

...although I feel that some of my strong feelings against Tim stem from this anger I have considering him to have "sold out".

It deeply saddens me to say this, but Katatonia was one of the worst live acts I've seen (one of my 4 or 5 favorite bands in the world). Maybe it was because the initial venue burnt down and the new one barely had better acoustics than my shoe...maybe the levels weren't just so...but man, that show did not sound right at all.

I am curious to know if anyone has seen Katatonia and had a better experience. Let me know...I hope this was a one-time deal.

The Fall played for 25 minutes promoting their Fall Heads Roll album. Mark E Smith was so drunk he could barely stand up. The place was a tiny packed venue full of black leather clad bikers and it was shit.

That would have to be Barack Nobamma when his teleprompter went haywire and stopped working and he then stood there mumbling nonsense 🫢
