the clarks

Umm, I can't remember if it was As Silence Breaks or Wish For Wings.

They weren't that bad, just not great.

But I forgive them, cause they're only small, not well-known bands. (:

Jump 5. My sister wanted to go and I had nothing else to do. The concert was gay. 

This band called Something You Whisper. It was really uncomfortable because it wasn't...great anf not many people were there by the end.  But they're so small and just starting out and I still think they're great people.

Optimus Primates and Aquabad My friend took me to see them(indie bands in illinois)

And it turned out they were Ska!!!

I hate Ska so i was very P.O.

My least favorite big name band was probably Dragonforce what with all there sexist comments and total suckishness both skill and proffesional wise we booed them A-HOLES off the stage. Never listend or liked them since.

I went and saw Jerry Cantrell like a year or two after Lane Staley died, I don't remember if it was as "Jerry Cantrell", or as the new "Alice in Chains".  but it was awful.  Jerry was a complete dick and they just kind of went thru the motions.  The crowd was utterly bored so Jerry Cantrell bitched out the crowd and walked off stage. 

My wife made me go see "Creed" with her.  Nothing more needs to be said

Wendy O Williams attempted suicide by hammering a knife into her chest - That's Punk Rock!

Please make a pretense of reading my post before you reply. Those bands are not ska, they're carnival-punk / ska-punk.

Now go and listen to some old Skatalites.

Sorry if I'm kinda reviving an older thread...

The band Gallows opened up for Bad Religion here a few years ago. They were the opener for the opener. I don't know about where y'all live, but here, nobody shows up until like an hour past when music is starting because they don't want to hear the opening bands. Since the venue was right by where I work, we just walked over after we were done working, and got there in what I'm guessing was the middle of Gallows set. We were 3 of about 40 people in the club at that point. The lead singer stopped in the middle of one of their songs and started screaming that this was a punk show; and, where was the moshing... etc. Everybody just kind of stood there staring at him like "we don't know who you are". The singer smashed his microphone stand on the stage and screamed "Fuck you, Minneapolis!" about 5 times and stormed off. That was the end of their set. The rest of the band stood there for a moment and then sort of shuffled off stage.

It wasn't really my least favorite concert ever, but definitely one of the most memorable for something going not quite as planned. Gallows is a little bit bigger around here now, so I always wonder if they'll come back and what will happen...

Probably the worst concert I went to was when Nihilst Cunt, Bum City Saints, Dr. Know, Oppressed Logic, and The Angry pSamoans  played. I'm pretty sure it was at Gilman's, but it only fucken sucked because I got kicked out for having beer. Mofuckakas.

I always found it really awkward and sort of embarassing when an opener for an opener (never thought of it that way ha) isn't hitting it off very well with the crowd. Some musicians try hard and then you have others who just get far too disappointed with the crowd not liking their set. I've only ever come across one band that started bickering with someone in the audience.

Back on topic though I won free tickets to see Robert Francis, Lawrence Arabia, and Fanfarlo. It wasn't awful or terrible but I was definitely happy I didn't have to pay to see the show. I left early and didn't feel too guilty about it.

Jonas Brothers. My sister wanted to go for her birthday so we took the bus there. Big mistake. The music sucked (not that I didn't expect that already, they're from frickin' Disney channel) and there were 10-year-old girls crowding around me screaming "JOEEE! NICKKK! I LOOVE YOUU! MARRY MEEE!" I swear I was so close to punching one of them.

Again, I shouldn't of expected anything good. I shouldn't of gone in the first place, it was three hours of my life wasted.

My other least favorite concert was Carolina Liar. They were playing at this celebration on the 4th of July, and I have to say... they were so stupid. The lead singer was jumping around, yelling "Everybody put their hands up!" when there was only around 7 people in the audience. Then they started yelling for everyone to sing along, when no one knew their lyrics. It made me laugh a little, how pathetic it was.

Yeah, yeah.

ive never been to a suckish concert! EVER!

any thing from disney channal sucks really and people that is little 10 year old girls get so hyped over a singer that isn't even good its rather dumb

ima METALHEAD!

There is a small pavilion in Indianapolis that shows a lot of small unknown bands, up-and-coming bands, as well as bigger acts. The Emerson Theater is just a tiny little club that holds maybe 1000 people. Some friends and I went to go check it out for the first time, we were probably 15 or 16 years old. There were just some small, unknown bands playing that night. I've been to many horrible shows in my life, yet this one is the most memorable..

The first band that came up, their music was quite indescribable. They had a hardcore sound that was stuck on fast-forward type of thing. All I remember is they had a keytarist WITH this ridiculous curly mullet that was having an epileptic fit all over the stage. I didn't even care about the music at that point, I've never seen anybody to this day rock out so hard. It was scary to look into his eyes and see such pure rage and intensity. I'm just thankful he was on the stage and not in the crowd because he would of probably kicked everybody's ass with his jacked-up crazy-epileptic keytar rocking.

HOW YOU WOULD FOLLOW THAT DAMN KEYTARIST, I DO NOT KNOW but... The next band was this gothic, horror thrash punk band. They all had their face painted white and black, typical gothic style, wearing a lot of leather. The thing was they looked like they were in their mid to late 30's, maybe early 40's. So, right off the bat it's like "What in the hell are you mid-life-crisis motherfuckers doing?!" They sounded alot like The Misfits used to be, except they sounded pretty horrible. The thing that topped it all off for this band was the lead singer. He pulled out this plastic skull from the side of the stage and tipped it over in the crowd and it poured blood. Everyone was trying to move away as he was pouring this blood into the crowd. That was entertaining but the best part was on their final song, the lead singer gets a running start to stage dive into the small crowd. As he flys through the air, with legs and arms extended; belly-flop style.. the people he was aiming for quickly jet out of the way and he is caught by the cold, nasty concrete floor. He slowly crawled back up to the stage and finished, in which I give him credit for.
