Bands that Dissapointed You Live

<< < (21/24) > >>

pentaen:
man one of the worst live shows that i had looked forward to extremely was Liars. They came on and just seemed to be able to play nearly every note offkey. The music sounded absolutley nothing like the original songs. I love their studio work but i wouldnt waste money to see them live.

Fishboy:
Wolf and Cub were awful live, albeit because of their equipment. everything as loud to the point of distortion, the sound system that they were playing on really couldn't handle it.

Captfamous:
I saw Sonic Youth a few years ago, and though I really like a lot of their albums, their obsession with experimental feedback has made seeing them live too much of a chore.

Also, I saw Built to Spill on the recommendation of a friend. The way they arranged their set list was so poor. They played all of the relatively fast paced music at the beginning, and then ended on about 8 really mellow songs in a row. I actually fell asleep standing up. Didn't help that I ended up liking the opening band better (The Prids, check them out, they're pretty awesome).

In general, the most disappointing shows for me tend to be bands that I don't listen to much, but get talked up a lot by my friends.

glyphic:
We Versus the Shark. What I expected to be a mostly dance-rock syncopated music fun fest turned out to be an incomprehensible mish-mash of tinny guitars and shouty lyrics. They've definitely changed since their first release. Unfortunately, it was for the worse.

I feel like I've said this before, but oh well:

Q and Not U. What I expected to be the best show of my adult life turned out to be a boring show only made interesting by the keyboard player picking a fight with an audience member and stealing his jacket. They only played two songs I could easily recognize. The rest were lost in anonymity by lack of proper instrumentation or plain laziness. Ultimately, it wasn't the kind of farewell show I expected.

maxusy3k:
I saw Placebo a couple years back and, while I'm not a Placebo 'fan', I do enjoy a lot of their music and thought it'd be pretty fun live. Three songs in I felt physically ill and had to leave.

Seeing Sigur Ros knocked back and forth in here has gotten my curiosity up. I could probably go see them next month for free, but I think I heard like one section of one of their songs ever so I don't know if I'd appreciate it or not. Suggestions?
