It was an all En Esch night and I believe the first Pigface tour. Monotonous is all I can say about it. Ive seen them since becuase I have a couple friends that play with them that were in Evil Mothers. They have been fun shows after that first one.
That guy was horrible I think I saw them at the New York State Fairgrounds and his stage performance reminded me of the Bill Squier video that basically ended his career
Saw their first show with Kirk in Dover nj (had to sneak in, underage and eventually got thrown out). Saw them again in 84 at a movie theater that switched between porn and cult movies. Don’t remember much about either other than Overkill wasn’t the SST overkill.
Pigface looks great on paper and as much as I wanted to love them, I walked out 3 songs into their set during the Lowest of the Low tour. Thank god the opening acts made it worth the admission price. I got to behold the rare sight of Scorn live and could the bass rumbling my ribcage... It was awesome !
Miranda Lambert at Guthries River Rukus. Such a man hater. Went there with people I couldn’t stand to listen to shit music so I could get laid.
Cheap Trick at Boston Garden. Horribly loud to the point that you couldn't tell what song they were playing. Close second was Great Big Sea. With a cult following that immediately stood up and started dancing in the seats. The girls crowded the stage, they all wanted to have lead singer Alan Doyle's baby. My girlfriend loved them and dragged me to about ten of their shows. (On her dime.) I finally said I don't want to see them anymore, go by yourself.
Took me this many days but now I remember for sure the worst concert I’ve seen was Marylyn Manson and Clutch at the Metro in Chicago early 90s… I’d seen tons of shows there from Smashing Pumpkins to Urge Overkill and the sound was always ok… I didn’t know who Clutch was and they sounded like a punk/metal mash up of shitty noise… then MM who I wasn’t a big fan of already came out and was sloppy and more into his Alice Cooper show of cutting and glam gore than playing music… I never listened to MM after that unless lunchbox or something comes on the radio… Clutch however I saw again first at a bar in GR on a Grattan weekend and then again and again and they became one of my all time favorites… odd how things happen sometimes… I used to argue with a friend of a friend about how they were the worst band I’ve ever seen… only to concede that I was wrong and they had a bad night but actually kick major ass
Got free tickets to Elton and Billy Joel at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando back in 94. Two legends that did not live up to the hype. I'm still not a fan except for a song here or there.
Def Leppard with Tesla in the mid 2000s. Tesla was on point, sounded great. Def Leppard came on and I think the sound guy was either busy with a groupie or just left the building. It was so bad my wife and I just left. Korn 2009-ish. They where just bad. I think they where all so high they didnt even know where they where
Bobs Country Bunker, Kokomo IN 1980. Supposed to see the Good Ol' Boys but instead they brought in a bunch of long hair hippie types playing something that wasnt Country or Western. So we had to throw a bunch of empty beer bottles at them to show our immense displeasure with their musical style. they got the point and switched over to some proper Country. After that it was a pretty good show. Turns out the Good Ol' Boys had a problem with their RV.
Phish in Lexington in 97 or 98. I went, ate all the mushrooms, watched the light show and listened to the songs that never ever end. I left feeling really depressed about everything I saw from parking lot before to when they turned the lights on in Rupp Arena at the end. So depressing on so many levels.
