Just last night seeing Mastodon and Primus. Mastodon sounded great and worked the crowd well. Primus was hard as hell to even sit through. frick I swear it was painful to listen too for me. The crowd that stayed were bouncing around to Claypool but many left after Mastodon.

David Allan Coe in fort worth at Billy Bob's circa 1995. Drunker than anything I've seen.


I talked to a guy that went to a David Allan Coe concert in the early to mid 90s and said he got so drunk that he pissed himself midway through the 5th or 6th song, stopped singing, and walked off stage.

Spin Doctors headlined over Soul Asylum in Municipal Auditorium, should have been they other way around. Disturbed co headlining with KORN. Disturbed shouldn't have taken the stage after KORN. Lifeless.

Your worst concert experience?
If you read anything about Dylan, the main problem is that he actually TRIES to frick up live performances by faking out the backing band.


I knew he had to be doing something on purpose. You just can't make these bizarre arrangements and think youre playing it intelligibly.

Ive seen at least two times where I all the sudden hear a "hey mister tambourine man" comes out of a confusing mess of nonsense.

But then several shows where everything was clear and played pretty much as you'd like to hear.

It's a pretty dick move to go out there selling tickets like that without at least advertising that youre going to be doing the "alternate versions".

My worst is the one I missed. Fall quarter 1991, my girlfriend broke up with me and I was miserable. Buddies try to cheer me up and take me out. They were all going to the 40 Watt that night. I begged out and sat home feeling sorry for myself.....thus I missed seeing Nirvana in Athens.

I would invite everyone on the music board to have what can't possibly be their worst concert experience later this month and check out my band. We'll be at Goodtimes Sports Bar in Gulfport on the 19th and at Phil Brady's in BR on the 25th.

ZZ Top - Recycler Tour Motherfrickers were playing along to tracks so they could do all the stupid shite like spinning their guitars that they did in their videos. I have not listened to anything by them since that day and never will again. They can rot in hell!!!


The drummer-Frank Beard has played over a drum track for 30+ years. It's a shame because they have talent.

I saw pieces of eight at Hirsch and they were great. A few years later they came to Tech touring for Mr Roboto and I didn’t even bother. Shitty tour and album. Damn shame Dennis DeYoung lost his damn mind.

Sprung Monkey at the Grant Street Dancehall in Lafayette probably around 95 I think. It was like they couldn't even play their instruments.
On the flip side of that was Korn was undiscovered and headlining that tour and blew the roof off of that place.

Black crowes got kicked off a zz top tour in the early 90s for calling them out about lip syncing.

Mine was a non-experience, I guess. Friend of mine and I drove 6 hours to Houston to see Rage Against The Machine at Astro Arena, and as we're just getting into the city limits at 5:00 or so, a radio station announced that Zach lost his voice, and the show was postponed.

That was some serious annoyance and disappointment.


They came back to do the show about 3 weeks later, and it was a blinder of a gig, just phenomenal.

The CARS were very boring in concert
REM was great in the early years but their shows and music in the later years became way too commercial and boring

Saw Helmet and Primus in the early '90s. Was a great show. Apparently, everyone thought it was cool to throw shite on stage at Les to get a reaction. Some a-hole threw a bottle and smacked me in the back of the head. Luckily it didn't break.

I was pretty loaded.
Woke up and everyone was leaving with a happy look of amazement on their faces. The concert was over and I had slept through it.



This is why I NEVER drink for any concerts.


When I was 16 my dad bought tickets to GNR, Metallica and Faith No More. My friend came with us, and we all were downing drinks for the pregame. We got hammered and lost track of time. By the time we got there FNM was finishing (this was the MAIN band I wanted to see, but I liked all 3). After that I don't even remember who played next out of MET or GNR. I don't remember shite other than throwing up in the bathroom at some point.


This is an epic show that is a complete blank to me. After that I have sworn off drinking for shows. I want the experience to be memorable.
