Me first. Ash. I don’t like then, then half way through a crowd surfers heel made a lovely purple bruise around my bloody eye.
One black eye in my like...and it was at Leeds festival watching Ash. Wish it was more rock and roll  |

"Manic Street preachers
They just didn't work with the crowd.
Catalonia who were their support were far better "
Oh Manics, I can imagine the boredom  |

They were shite, Liam spent more time trying to rip the piss out of the American crowd and playing hard man to the few Brits in attendance than singing songs,
We were back in our local in NYC before the gig finished I'd say,
Never liked them after, as a result. |

There and to the left a bit |
Two of the worst I have seen have been Madness and The Style Council - both bands I love and in the case of Madness have seen them 50+ times and some of those gigs are amongst the best I have ever seen....but there have been times I've seen them where they've obviously been going through the motions, times they've not rehearsed and it's shown
The Style Council I only saw once, at the Albert Hall, was one of their last ever gigs - Weller was in full on "I'll do what I want and fuck everybody" mode - played none of the hits, kept bringing on guests and hip-hop artists and the like and it went down awfully - one of the few gigs I have been to where the audience remained seated throughout. |

I was always Blur myself. Did see the high flying birds on their first tour...Noel actually was great. I didn’t expect much but it was a great gig. Shame he’s turned into a twat |

Kings of Leon.
Went to see them at the O2. They backlit themselves so they were just silhouettes and the singing was terrible. I was so excited to see them but ended up leaving half way through |

"Trivium.
Not that they were bad but after seeing them 3 times as a support act it was a bit tedious"
Met them with bullet for my valentine. Nice guys. |

Rem supporting u2 at the Milton Keynes midsummer nights bowl...in the rain and mud...micheal stipe wanted to tell the crowd all kinds of lovely messages... The crowd wanted him to shut up and play... They were bottled off stage.
The cure Wycombe town hall killing an Arab vintage... In front of about 20 people...
The Enid at fryars Aylesbury... Sitting down in circles and holding hands and sharing the love didn't go down too well...
My hero Paul Weller at the roundhouse Camden... He was being a right cxxt.

Saw Oasis.. They were d up, and played everything too fast.. which ruins the songs.. Also Liam is a poor live singer.. Great on record, but he doesn't look after his voice, so just has to shout. |

"The Chillies are very hot and cold, seen them 6 times now and twice was terrible,
But saying that the other 4 times they were amazing. "
Flee blew my mind. He’s a finger short of a Kit Kat, but wow, he brings the base to life |

"Gogol Bordello were really disappointing.
I loved them 
I think they were having an off-day. I'd heard such good things about their gigs."
How rude of them. |

"Fun lovin' criminals were terrible. The week after i went to see Hinge and Bracket at the local theatre and they were brilliant lol."
I'm going to hazard a guess they were pissed out of their skulls... Seen them a few times and they have always started off brilliant and then it just depends how d*unk huey gets... |

Oasis at Heaton Park in Manchester.
Twisted Wheel, The Enemy and Kasabian supported, and they were all miles more enjoyable than Oasis. I was gutted - it was the first time I'd seen Oasis live and expected something brilliant  |

Hole were shockingly bad at Reading Festival 1994,allegedly to Courtney Loves grief. That would maybe be a reason for a bad set but being well out of turn and off her face may have had something to do with her performance.

"Razorlight at Hyde park calling in 2006 I think. Johnny just strutted around the stage looking like he was in love with himself and singing badly off key "
Saw them at Leeds fest years back, not my thing, what I expected, dull |

Lily allen... shocking, terrible live voice, awkward stage performance, spent majority of the time flapping on about world affairs and politics.

Considering the crowd size he didn't interact with them at all, it was the Johnny show basically |

Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I have never been so disappointed at a gig. Didn't look interested and Anthony Keidis flounced off stage during the encore leaving the rest of the band to do an impromptu jam to wrap things up.
Also Limp Bizkit. Went to see them purely for nostalgia and realised it was a bad idea. |

Believe it or not.... Robbie Williams at Middlesbrough Town Hall. He had a very brief "limbo" mode before he went global as a solo. Town Hall booked him, sold it out and he was boring as fuck, very little interaction and seemed lost without take that.
Cue 12 months later and he's the biggest thing in mainstream music for a decade.

Oh Manics, I can imagine the boredom "
I remember the manics when they were a brilliant live band. Now if they played in my back garden I'd shut the curtains |

"A punk band called Guns on the Roof, that came highly recommended but were shocking"
I’ll give them a miss. A band called Throw Rag supported Mad Caddies and they were ace! |
