worst bands live?

Saw a whole bunch of terrible acts (but even more amazing acts) at CMJ this past October, the worst was probally The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  Truly awful stuff there.

Worst show I ever went to was a Josh Wink DJ set about 8 years ago, yikes.

But the WORST CONCERT I EVER SAW was, far and away, The Zombies reunion show last year, whoa.  It was sad as hell, no exageration, the show cold made me DEPRESSED.

I used to live down the street from two of the guys from NFG, total assholes, the lot of them.  I had to suffer their pre-MTV existance and thought they sucked hard back then.  But beyond that, these two kids were real douchebags.  They kept pestering me to play their CD on my radio show in Ft. Lauderdale, and I wouldn't (because it was an experimental/musique concrete show you dunderheads).  That pissed off the band something awful.  Later, when that single went big, they came over to my house to rub it in my face.  They said something to the effect of "guess you wish you had gotten in on this now that we're going to make it".  I said that no one ever went broke underestimating the tastes of the public and I still hated the album becasue it HAD NO MERRIT.  I moved to Tallahassee soon after.  Sorry about the lenght of this thing, but they still irk me.  I'm glad that they are little more than a footnote in the unfortunate marketing experiment that was punk/pop revival.

passthebottle:
hahaha no i'm glad you said that.  honestly, if people like "pop punk" then ok, whatever, you're probably 14. but it really made me feel better that in real life they're actually douchebags. blah. so many better bands and pop punk/emo pop has to be the next big thing. *shudder*

it's just not right.

happybirthdaygelatin:
I get confused by the use of pop punk these days.  I think that what most people call pop punk is what I consider Comercial Punk and what I consider Pop Punk is along the lines of old Screeching Weasel.  Eh, semantics.

Sonic Youth.  It wasn't a horrible show but I was bored.

Skibas_clavicle:
Oh man, Screeching Weasels are teh sex. I used to review punk albums for awebsite a couple years back and there are a few really good pop punk bands out there, and not the kind associated with MTV. The Methadones are really great. People should give them a listen.
