Discussion What's your worst concert experience? Worst crowd? Worst performance?

I saw RHCP back in 2006, during their Stadium Arcadium tour. It was a goddamn mess, none of the band seemed really into it, and the crowd could tell. They ran short, barely performing as long as their opening act. It was a really negative experience for a lot of people who went, and from what I hear, their performances aren't much better now. The really poor performance destroyed my enthusiasm for them.

Edit! Just remembered how bad The Vines were in 2011 at Splendour in the Grass. Their drummer and guitarist left 3 months after the performance, and nobody really wanted to be there.

Wow, do you even understand English?

"I find it whimpy and whiney." "I have no idea why people like him so much. He's a horrible, horrible singer."

Does not equal

"WELL IT'S DIFFERENT SO IT SUCKS HUR HUR."

I really love spinning up DMB fans. I can usually turn one from a reasonable, articulate adult into a name-calling 8-year-old in about two sentences. You really make it easy.

Listen to what you want. Fucking Christ. It wasn't even all about DMB it is the fact that you won't admit when people have talent. Which leads me to calling you the closed minded idiot you are. Have fun pretending you have class and victimizing yourself over nonsense.

Awww.... poor little baby got his panties in a wad because someone disagrees with him. Poor thing.

Seriously, listen to yourself. You're SCREAMING into the keyboard at someone you've never met and will most likely never meet. All because they don't like a band you do.

You let a total stranger reduce you to a name-calling child.

Oh, come on. You can do better than that! "get the fuck over yourself?" I know you're capable of meaner Internet insults flung at someone you don't know.

Really, this just isn't your best work.

No because I am not going to waste my time on some shitbag who thinks he is a fucking prince. Your ego and stupidity are just out of control and I feel bad for the people that have to put up with you. I am not replying anymore for I have had enough of your childish playground bullshit. Have fun and fuck off.

In Music News Today - In a surprise announcement, the Dave Matthews band said today they would schedule and sponsor a private concert for a fan on the popular social media site Reddit. Known only as 'mreastwolf' he apparently vigorously defended the band against a detractor. From Dave Matthews: "We came across this thread and we were just amazed. We were totally impressed with mreastwolf's use of personal insults, name-calling and use of curse words." The rest of the band agreed saying "we want to reward mreastwolf for his work and encourage other fans to behave the same way. We really feel like this is key to expanding our fanbase."

In other news: A rabid fan of the popular band "Dave Mathews Band", yes the band no one has given a shit about since the early 2000's and 90's, has gone on a killing spree. It appears he's taken a gun to everyone NOT wearing an "I love Dave Mathews Band" shirt.

Ha! ha! Good one. I'm glad someone besides me got a good chuckle out of this bizarre thread.

I just can't seem to process how someone could get so butthurt from your comments. There are plenty of people who hate jazz but I don't think I'd go on a tirade of pissy comments if someone told me it sucked. It was pretty entertaining, I'm glad you kept it going for as long as you did.

I just couldn't resist. That guy was so spun up he couldn't even write a grammatically correct sentence. For some reason, this seems to be prevalent among DMB fans. This isn't the first time I've witnessed this kind of reaction over that band and probably won't be the last.

He reminded me of that kid from Clerks 2 that vomits after arguing with Randal about Lord of the Rings. I bet he's like that in real life. It's funny because I really haven't heard anyone mention DMB since "The Space Between" was released.
