Yeah too hardcore, that's it ...

No, First of all they are'nt musically talented, they are just the following a formula...

Secondly any frontman who jumps into the crowd (that show no interest) and gets into peoples faces (like that hard c*nt he is) is a tool...

NO STAGE PRESENCE + UNORIGINAL MUSIC = NOISE POLLUTION...

fair enough, not a huge fan of that style of music myself, just went to school with a couple of the blokes.

Smashing Pumpkins...

Worst would probably be Creed. Hate the band. Only went because Sevendust were the support act. Then Sevendust pulled out about a week before and decided to go anyway as I couldnt move on the ticket. Shithouse band playing shithouse generic music and making shithouse generic rock poses.

Next would be Atari Teenage Riot at the BDO around 2000. Noise. There was zero musicality in the whole thing. I cant imagine anyone topping that in terms of terrible sets at a BDO.

Had a bit of a disappointment on the weekend, when the conference I was at concluded with a performance of my childhood favourite's, Dragon.

Now granted, due to age and the loss of the bands most key member, I wasn't expecting them in all their prime glory, but out of around the dozen songs they covered, I think only 6 were their own ("Speak No Evil" a notible admission )

To see my onetime idols, putting out numbers like Farnhams "Age Of Reason", Oz Crawls "Errol" and the Police's "Message In A Bottle" to name a few, had my jaw well and truly planted firmly on the floor.

Sadly Todd Hunter looked as though he was going to nod off from the opening song (Half the time he just stood there with a guitar) and little did I know the worst was still to come ...

Finally they got to the encore set, and alltime favouriote song "Rain" ... I nearly had to hold back the tears when they brought out the weekend's host Marty Fields to sing it!!! (To be fair he probably did a better job than the lead vocalist would have - In all seriousness).

By now, I'd well and truly shifted off the beers to the Canadian Club to drown my sorrows, but thankfully there was one very saving grace, when they brought out Angry Anderson (an ambassador of the hosting company) who belted out "Bad Boy For Love" as though he'd never left Tattoo ... The bloke, or more rightly the power of his voice still today, is just incredible.

I honestly don't think I'll ever top the disappointment factor of this gig ... Fair enough a far portion of blame is mine for my own expectations, but fair dinkum ... At one stage half the crowd were yelling "Bring on Dragon!!" and they were already 4 songs into their show!!

interesting what you say about Dragon as a mate of mine went up to Tanunda last sat night to see Simply Red and they were supported by Dragon and he said that Dragon were very ordinary

but he did say that Simply Red were great

Honestly mate, I like them that much that I was trying to find any skerrick of positive, but they were just terrible ... Im still wounded thinking about it.

Isn't Dragon's singer Mark "Show no Mercy" Williams now???

I have been let down by most of the old acts doing a reunion tours........I can name a few that i thought were very average and you could tell they were doing it for the $$$$$'s

Ahh is that who it is ... We couldn't work it out, thinking maybe it was an ex-John Farnham backup but now that you mention it I reckon you might be on the money.

You never miss an opportunity do you Booney....

[Booney]

You sound like Mrs.Booney...

[whatcha got there?]

U2 at Football Park, both times - not their fault as much as the venue/acoustics/dumbasses.

i agree ZZ, the set up just wasnt right...you could tell they were playing well, it was just coming out like shit. maybe it was coz they had it set up that way for kanye west when i went.


now theres THE worst live performance i have ever had the displeasure of sitting thru. thank god the chicks playing the violins held it together for him.

Kanye West!! How could I forget his "preaching" to the audience....

That was a shocking gig!!!

[Leaping Lindner]

I've just been reminded of one. The Stranglers in 2004. It was the original line up but without Hugh Cornwall and a different lead singer. Totally pointless. I would have left early but was giving a mate a lift who wanted to stay.
Bottom line if an old band reforms and tours without the original lead singer DON'T BOTHER!!!
