medichi Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 "Best" is dull - what are the WORST albums and gigs you've actaully paid money for this year?Live - Dragonforce were AWFUL at the Black Crusade. Seriously, physically painful.Album - Throwdown "Venom and Tears", Nora "Save Yourself" and ETID "The Big Dirty" were all HORRIBLY dissapointing. Bad, bad albums. The Burial record I got was shit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I paid to see a bunch of pap metal bands at at Drummonds, contested by the disappointment of Nightmare Of You at the Barfly, which should have been much much better.

Skull Commander Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 For me it's a double bill of Foo Fighters.Album is dull and a pale shadow of a once great band. Same goes for the live performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 kings of leon, aecc.it wasn't that bad, but i haven't been to anything really terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 The biggest disappointment for me is the new Rilo Kiley album. Whilst it isn't a bad record, the Miami Sound Machine-isms are truely upsetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I don't remember too many bad shows to be honest. Maybe a support band or two.If I have to choose one, I'd say a band called The Aphrodisiacs who supported Thee More Shallows at The Tunnels. Terrible band, terrible songs, terribly executed. In my very humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I heard the new Avenged Sevenfold album and nearly died laughing, absolute pap.I went to the Misfits at Moshulu and thought they were god awful too, left 20 minutes into their set.

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Worst album of the year was the new Television Personalities album (I think it was called "Are we nearly there yet?")I mean, I know the guy is broken in the mind and all, but there was no reason for something so awesomely poor.Billy CHildish's last one was appalling as well.It was so bad that it actually made me hate the three chords he perpetually uses in every single song. So much so that if I hear any of those three chords, I am physically sick.Worst gig for me was Meat Loaf at the Odyssey Areana in Belfast. I was there to review it, and the magazine wouldn't publish it as I was so harsh.I left halfway through, and there was a guy arguing with the bouncers, shouting: "I want a full refund. I paid 40 to see Meat Loaf, and that's not him. That's just some rubbish old fella who can't hit a note."Prompting the title of my review: "He'd do anything for love but he can't hit a note."I thought it was quite clever, actually...

Fast Caz Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Worst album i've heard - Terrorizer - Darker Days AheadSimply shocking for a band who once used to hold the torch of grindcore the highest but to simply release an abomination of an album with no soul and feeling is just a shitstorm.Really tarnished a once great name.Worst live show - Calvin Harris supporting FaithlessI'd never heard of Calvin Harris before this gig and didn't know what to expect and fuck me what a pile of over dressed , mediocre , talentless tripe i've ever heard.I can tolerate alot of " mainstream" dance music but this just made want to maddy the fucking lot of them.

Elizabeth Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Parity's Fall's performance in their support slot with Jeniferever, probably. Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 At risk of incurring the wrath of Swans fans everywhere again, Michael Gira supporting Boredoms is the one gig I can recall being truly unimpressed. On balance I have however ordered a couple of Swans CD's, I've chosen their last couple of releases though, as apparently they are reckoned to have been an influence on Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Time will tell.I thought Alabama 3's recent gig at The Lemon Tree was pretty poor too. D.Wayne Love now proves an irritation with his out of time ad-libs and improvisations. The ageing 'first time i've been out to a gig in years, better get pissed up and 'dance'' crowd didn't curb my irritation any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 yeah KOL was better than gira at least, forgot about that... overall it was an awesome gig though cause of the boredoms 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait...toys have already been thrown out of the pram on that particular point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltz Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Worst live show: Can't even remember. Something at Drummonds, probably.Worst album: Puzzle, by Biffy Clyro. Mega-disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm still recovering. Ditto, the two of us were very much not enjoying them at all at the time from what i remember. I'd successfully forgot about them until Elizabeth brought that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'll also put in Free Korps' performance at The Tunnels when they played with Alamos a few months back. They sound as if they listen to the Kaiser Chiefs far too much. I think they're local, so I'm probably in for some abuse. But fuck it.
