Carrying on the recent trend who were the worse band you ever saw live.

For me it was The Farm, circa All Together Now. Saw them at Hull City Hall and they were,dreadful. The support act The Frank n Walters were superb though.

The worst live acts I've seen are Elton John closely followed by Bob Dylan.

Saw Jay-z (ok technically not a band) as the support act to U2 in Sydney ANZ Stadium last year. Absolutely dreadful. We left and headed to the bar, which was packed with eveyone else who had exited the arena to avoid the assualt on the eardrums.


I thought I had seen the end of the world. Desolation, Isolation, Destruction, Mutants and the end of Civilisation.
Turns out bloody Tom Tom had directed me through Scunthorpe City Centre.

The Men They Couldnt Hang, supported David Bowie at The Milton Keynes Bowl and were dreadful. Another support act on the same bill was a group called 2way Street who were very good.

I would put a White Stripes headline slot at Leeds Festival as one of the best gigs I've been at. Also saw The Raconteurs in Manchester which was excellent.

Each to their own but i just got bored and my ears were offended at their awful sound shoddy timing etc...i know some say its part of it blahblah but for me its not, they aren't avant garde or jazz or something weird, therefore there is no excuse for bad timing...unless you are an awful drummer like she was....

I went to see Spiritualized in Leeds. I really like them but they're quite low key live and it was a Tuesday or something so I was having a quiet one. The first hour was great, the second hour started to drag and I left somewhere during the third hour.
