I'm talking live performances that are truly cringeworthy. And not amateur stuff, actual bands that make you embarrassed to watch (nb4lolwsp)

I submit: The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire

The beginning is pretty bad, but it gets unwatchable at around :50 with his jumping around.

Making fun of WSP is so old and played out, but it still makes me laugh every time.

The Replacements performance on SNL in '86, that earned them a lifetime ban, was so uncomfortably awesome... drunk as shite, and cursing at the crowd... at the end, when everyone comes out, no one will come near paul... it is so awkward...

They were notorious for drunken, terrible shows...

I would go with that Doors concert that's been playing on Palladia. I want to throw tomatoes at Jim for most of it.

Then if it wasn't enough for Jagger to dance like a f** , there was this:

i'd actually say this is so embarrassing, it's no longer embarrassing, lol....check out the brian jonestown massacre's viper room gig (in front of many major label reps) in the documentary 'dig!', and watch a major trainwreck ensue... great movie, and you don't need to be a BJM fan (or dandy warhols, who are also in it) to enjoy it.

That's hilarious. Also hilarious reading the comments that think it is real.

Fergie at the Super Bowl a few years ago was hilariously bad. To be expected though.

Honestly, I know she's quite talented, but St. Vincent on SNL was just awful to witness.

I'm a huge St. Vincent fan, but I agree that it was pretty awkward. I saw her at The Tabernacle in Atlanta a few weeks before that and the show was amazing.

Pretty much all SNL performances feel awkward to me, though. It kind of feels like you're sitting there watching a concert by yourself, with a band who doesn't really want to be there.

Metallica playing One on Stern a while back sounded pretty rough. James forgets some lyrics at the end, Kirk and Lars sound pretty sloppy at times.

yea but mercifully short..




RHCP - Under the Bridge SNL

Problem is the infinitesimal stage size, hell Flea needs that much room alone, much less the entire band.

Maybe worse was her trying to redeem herself & really sing at that year's Orangs Bowl halftime.

I was gonna mention this. After Kiedis decided to sing more - along with the caterwauling backgrounds, that was tough to witness.

Maybe add The Fray's bizarre, dissonant version of the Anthem at the Final Four a couple years back.
