I've seen some shitty opening bands, but I can't recall a show that sucked all the way through. I'm pretty selective about what shows I go to.
A standout shitty band was Andromeda Strain who opened for Fugazi in 93. That band had that riot grrl Jessica Hopper in it and a Farfisa organ that was blasting loud killing your ears whenever it hit high notes. When they said it was their last song, the crowd clapped so loud.
There's a local band called Brice that opened for someone cool that I don't recall that is terrible. Quirky acoustic/electric white boy rappin' 311 sugar ray sounding motherfuckers.
Some bands are just so boring I don't remember seeing them at all.
