26 artists you're really mad you got to see

I had a much nicer experience with them. Well balanced sound, nice stage lighting, great show. There was a circle of these beautiful pagan looking girls in yoga pants and hippies clothes dancing together. I desperately wanted to be in the middle of their group, but alas they were blissfully unaware of anything else but the music.

That sounds exactly like the experience I wished for, but did not get. :cry:

My experience was like what I imagine Throbbing Gristle to have been live. I couldn't even see the band, just silhouettes with constant strobes. The whole experience was punishing.

I had that experience with My Bloody Valentine. The volume was unpleasant. Made the whole show irritating.

I've never saw My Bloody Valentine live, but I've other friends who had a similar experience to you. Which sucks.

Yeah, White Zombie was somewhat cooler before he became a self parody.

That's the truth. Even back in the day, his albums would be littered with duds. His brother Spider Zombie is even worse. I'm convinced Rob gives him horrible songs instead of money.

I don't care for his movie directing skills. The bad guy always wins.

If he performs the best 7 White Zombie songs live, you will have a great show.
 
I saw Sting when that Desert Rose song came out. I wouldn't say it was necessarily bad as much as just totally uninteresting.

I saw Sting last year. The set was polished and impeccable and largely forgettable.

In fairness to Gordon, I blame the venue as much as I do the performance. I saw him in Hershey, PA. The setup there is they have a football stadium with the stage in one end zone, and on the other side of the stage they have a smaller grass amphitheater. For some reason they booked him in the stadium, which was maybe 1/3 full. It was like a vicious circle of low energy crowd with low energy performer.

Didja ever catch the Butthole Surfers?

90 minutes of white noise that made my ears hurt for days.
 
No way I could come up with 26, but my second ex-wife dragged me to see Foreigner twice. The show was probably good but I just could not get into the band at all. She also had me see the Moody Blues three times. By the third time there was nothing new or exciting to see.

Chicago
The Melvins (opened for Primus, the entire crowd had their fingers in their ears through their whole set, and they suck)
Shinedown and Van Hagar (Shinedown opened for Van Hagar)
 
I saw Spider-Man at Walgreens when I was a kid. He was unable to scale walls or shoot webs. He just stood around like a normal guy and handed out comic books.

Extremely disappointing.
