This is a question Bad gigs

Been to see some talentless gits on stage recently? Had your enjoyment spoiled by a twat with an iPad filming the whole thing? Been bottled off? Tell us all

Here's a list of fucking great gigs I've been to.
Jesus Jones - played at some upstairs dive off Lake St. in Northbridge. No real stage or lighting. Just a room full of people a PA, some lights jerry rigged on C-stands and the band. Things got a bit hairy when the keyboardist started chucking his instrument about.

Regurgitator - several times in big venues and small. Even when they started to get a bit jaded about the whole thing they still gave it their all. The 'Gurge passing was a sad, sad, thing.

Ricaine - For a band that plays such a tight, technical sound - live they sure as shit crap on anything they've ever done in a studio.

The Mark Of Cain - (pretty much as a band) told off a bouncer for being rough with me as I was quietly standing backstage watching their gig at the Swanbourne Hotel.
They insisted that he buy me a beer at the bar for being so rude to me just because I was standing where he felt I shouldn't be. They stopped the gig while all this was happening and didn't start playing again till I was happily ensconced behind the speaker-stack, stage left with a free beer in my hand.

Severed Heads - This 1 I'm actually quite proud of (but marks my vintage I think!) - whilst propping up the bar of the Old Melbourne prior to a Severed Heads gig I recognised Tom Ellard (lead whatever-the-fuck-you-call-that
- programmer?).
I asked if I could buy him a beer as I told him how his music had awakened something in me at a time when little else could.
He was chuffed and had a quiet drink with me as we talked about gardening and the best ways to do homebrew from scratch.
EDIT:
Single Gun Theory - good 90's dance music done with some good dancing - bonus points for getting the audience to belly dance!

May have included some roasted peas btw.
If people like cowfoot can post "alright", AB can repost a link to some-one else's story and shambolina can post his rarely on-topic drivel then this sure as fuck belongs here.
& now you guys know what music I [used to & still do] listen to. Amongst lots of other stuff.

You actually get duller with every post you write.

I like the huge amount of effort he puts in to these 'please be my friend' posts.

(, Sat 27 Jul 2013, 9:16, closed)
Yeah.
Seriously.

That's what I'm looking for from you guys.
Friendship.

Like any of you would even have an inkling about what that actually means.
At least if your online persona's are anything to go by.

Dunno Brigadier.
I'll watch it after dinner. This pic of Iggy Pop & Deborah Harry should make do in the mean time.

the only problem with this is that nobody gives the tiniest fuck what music you listen to.
at this point you could post the alphabet and still get thirty comments telling you what a dick you are. the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. maybe you should give that some thought.

Excellent point.
And yet here you are.

Are
we supposed to guess what the bad gigs were from your list of good ones?

So Ringo, when are you expecting your new best mates to turn up and defend this post against the rivers of troll blood?

Around the time that you stop posting
dull posts, dullard.

Even Weepy Tortoise is embarrassed by this desperate effort.

The guy from Regurgitator used to live down the road from me and his kids went to the same school my kids did. He's a boring twat now.
