AndyinLiverpool Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Ozzy Osborne some time in the mid 80s. He was drunk, shambolic. I left after Crazy Train, Mr Crowley and a couple of butchered Sabbath songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Zodiac Mindwarp - can't fully remember the venue but could have been the De Montford Hall. The single was great, the video ridiculous but entertaining, the album was patchy but had some decent tracks but live, ugh. I used to think that I was the world's worst singer - now at least I am confident that I'm only the second worst. And it's not the kind of Johnny Rotten, Alien Sex Fiend - 'who cares about singing in tune, this is alternative music' bad. This guy wanted to be Bon Jovi but sounded like a cat being strangled. Then the band were actually worse than anything I've ever seen in a local pub. Out of time drums, bass player appeared to have taken the instrument that day and the guitarists seemed to have missed the 'how to tune your guitar' lesson. It was in every respect, appalling.

SSD Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Razorlight were terrible. Played with no energy, looked pretty bored and had the attitude of turning up for an hour and sodding off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I remember a mate of mine going to see the Pogues in Burton - apparently Shane MacGowan staggered on to the stage, slumped on the edge of the drum-riser with a bottle of whiskey, slurred his way through 30 minutes of 'songs' and then gave up.....to say he wasn't impressed was an understatement....

Gaspode Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I went to the "Six of the Best" concert at Milton Keynes Bowl (Genesis + Peter Gabriel and eventually Steve Hackett) in 1982. Great to see them all onstage together but not the greatest gig as they were criminally under-rehearsed. Worse thing though was the weather - we drove to Milton Keynes, got out of the car and it started raining - it didn't stop raining until we got back in the car 12 hours later.....

BaaLocks Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Harry Connick Jr. with laryngitis takes some beating from my side. Saw the Edwin Starr band at a festival in about 2015, Edwin Starr died in 2003. Simply Red at Wembley Arena was torture from beginning to end, she wasn't worth it.

Bob Mash Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Manic Street Preachers at Hull Adelphi around 1991. All pose and no substance. Saw them a few years later at Pheonix Festival in Stratford and they were brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at the Birmingham Odeon. 1982 or 3 perhaps. It was the period when he'd heard Black sabbath were going to put out a live album so he rushed one out first to piss them off. It was terrible. Should have known the gig was going to be bad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eargasm Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Worst ever for me was at Kings Hall, Belle Vue, Manchester May 13th 1975.... Barry White !.. loved his records back in the day, absolute garbage live, first and only concert where I left before the end of a show !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Saw Oasis supporting BMX Bandits at the Wherehouse in Derby - November 1993 They were shocking, a really poor Beatles/T-Rex plodding rock band, and the short arse singer was doing ridiculous fake swagger totally nicked from Ian Brown. Then they did a song that was basically The New Seekers "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" - awful We were laughing at how naff they were, and what on earth were Creation Records doing signing this bunch of unoriginal, cliched nobodies. They may have sold millions of records since but I stand by my initial impression. Most over-rated band ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've never been as wet in my life (including swimming or having a bath!)....Sounds had a stall at the back of the arena - we all picked up a goody bag, binned the contents and sat with the bags on top of our heads. It was also great to see John Martyn; Jonathan King getting booed and Talk Talk having things thrown at them....we knew how to have a good time back in the day...?
