hawkwind used to be a badass band. but ballet dancer doesn't sound that good.
the three worst shows i've ever been so far are:
3) evanescence with seether. i thankfully got invited with all expenses paid, so it wasn't a waste of money. the crowd wasn't older than 16 years old; i think i don't need further explanation.
2) fobia, which are a crappy 80's pop rock band and they had a reunion show, way too fucking long, they played horrible music played horrible, thought they were really funny by doing coreographic dance moves and the whole crowd was constituted of dumb yuppie thirtysomethings.
1) the red hot chili peppers on the californication tour. they played for 70 minutes, a band which at that point had like 18 years of playing together and 7 albums or somewhere close to it. they stood dead still for 60 of those 70 minutes, with flea occasional doing his moronic dancing, john frusciante doing some freakout headbanging thing at some point and the drummer tossi his drumstick to the top of the arena and then catching it and keeping playing. they played all these filler songs from bloodsugar and californication nobody in the crowd knew and when everyone thought they would come out and do an encore and really bring their game, the place turns the lights on and the show was over. total ripoff!!! the band that opened the show was a nu metal band from puerto rico who played their set thru half of the house speakers fucking up the whole time and they STILL KICKED THE CHILI PEPPERS ASSES!! you know you are in trouble when you can't really hear a third rate opening band and still feel they played a better show than the headliner
