Concert regrets part II (WTF)

All right guys, I hope not many of you have had this problem. It's not a good one to have.

Has anyone gone to a concert & regretted it! Maybe the sound was bad, a band member was drunk, bad seats, annoying concert goers near you, boring show, you got in a fight & were kicked out.

As for me I only have one thank God. It was Queensryche with Type O Negative opening up. This was one boring show! I do not like Type O for nothing, just not my type of music. And Queensryche was boring as hell! They even played a slow a$$ jam session with people on stage sitting in a Paris cafe setting. I have no idea what was the purpose of the scene? This was the first time I would have seen Queensryche as headliner & it was boring as hell!

I seen boring opening bands, Golden Earring, Rose Tatoo, but never a headliner until I was Queensryche with Type O.

I was able to see Queensryche twice since & they have made up for the boring show, but still regret the Type O / Queensryche show.

I love Queensryche and Golden Earring I was sorry to hear you were disappointed in them.

I saw the Scorpions at the OC fair a couple years ago and the people in the seats next to us were bumping into us dancing and they were umm "large" people. I was pissed...

The first time I saw Warrior Soul they were pretty god-awful, which was a major disappointment. It was during the tour for CHILL PILL. I learned later that the entire band had bailed on Kory Clarke right after the recording of the album was finished, so the "band" I saw live was an all-new lineup that obviously had not had time to gel yet. (I saw them three more times on the tour for the followup album, SPACE AGE PLAYBOYS, and they totally smoked every time).

I saw the Chuck Billy benefit show titled "Thrash of the Titans" and it was bitter sweet. It was cool to see so many bay area thrash bands reuniting for the show but it also took a toll on my feet. I seemed to have stood around forever and there was nowhere to sit. By the time the last couple bands went on stage i was distracted by the pain in my feet and didn't get the full enjoyment i should have.

I drove about 400 miles to see alot of old friends reunite for a show in Anahiem and then have thier sets cut to just 3 or 4 songs cause the promoter decided to change the program from half the stage performance and half stage setting up to opening the whole stage to a single band and causing way too much delay between bands. The only kewl thing was I got to see Ultimatum for the very first time Oh yeah. seeing old friends was a blessing as well.

I saw King Diamond once and the sound was beyond awful. It was like a wall of feedback. I got to catch KD a few years later and it was a much better show.

I went to see a Jay-Z concert back in 2000 with a friend who had an extra ticket. Totally not my music or people I would associate myself with, and the smell of weed was everywhere. I got in for free, so who am I to complain?

Who'd you see them opening for? Must have been a bad night for them because in their advancing age now they are still incredible live.

I wish i had a chance to see them at their prime at those infamous inner Sydney city gigs from the late 70's that old timers down here rave about. Or when they played the Marquee in London in '81 and were hailed the loudest band to play there since Led Zeppelin!

I saw Rose Tat with Aerosmith 1982. Joe Perry had not rejoined the band yet.

Rose Tat was so boring that I actually dozed off.
No lie and no I was not drunk.
