Who is the worst performer or concert you have ever seen in person? Not because of weather or some other unforeseen circumstance, but like who is just least talented or worst performer you have seen live?
Worst Concert/Performing Artist
- Thread starter HoraceGrant
- Start date
For me it was Bob Dylan in the mid 80's. The only thing that saved the day was that he split sets with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
Coheed and Cambria was pretty bad when I saw them open for Slipknot. Slipknot put on a great show though.
Saw P.Diddy when he did a concert at Tama. It was joke. Took him forever to take the stage, then sucked and left after a half hour. Glad I had free tickets!
One of the last rock concerts I went to back in the early 90s was Poison with Damn Yankees and Firehouse opening. I hate Firehouse anyway, so their set sucked. I liked Damn Yankees, but their set consisted of Shaw and Blade watching Ted Nugent. Poison's set was ruined by the incompetent moron running the sound. At one point, the sound cut out completely and Bret Michaels went on a rant saying eff this and eff that trying to sound cool, but it came off really really lame.
Granted all 3 bands were probably 5+ year past their prime, but overall they were really disappointing.

Fall Out Boy.
They opened for blink on their reunion tour.
Turrible. That ****** Pete Wentz would not shut up telling stupid *** stories

I was going to say Dylan but then someone reminded me of Poison. Both were awful but at least Dylan can write good music.
eh... I was at that show and thought they were good at playing live, but just had terrible crowd interaction.
Deadsy and Puddle of Mudd opening for Korn (2003?) was pretty bad. Dead Horse Trauma at Lazerfest (2010?) was pretty terrible as well.
...saw Little Big Town for free with some friends that were fans. I can't say the performance was bad, but it was just very...disingenuous and acted out, which is why I think new/top 40 country consists of the worst live performers around. Just plain lazy.
Otherwise O.A.R. in 2005--was never a fan, but they were fun a year earlier, but this time they sucked in general, and the front man actually asked the audience to give more energy to get the band excited.

Whatever band opened for Tool in CR back about 5 years ago. Some Japanese woman screaming unintelligibly to music that was a combination of thrash metal and hip hop. Everyone hated it, and it went on forever. Tragically bad.
Def leapard was terrible. Just boring. Music sounded good. Bon Jovi 3 years ago. Way to long.warrent opening for motley crue at hilton. Warrent blew.
