What was your most disappointing concert experience?
- Thread starter ColdBlooded
- Start date
Mine was back in 2002, I had a ticket to a show at Graceland in Seattle for Botch, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Locust and Murder City Devils. I think it was Botch's 2nd to last show ever. Well day of my hockey coach decides that we're going to do some team dinner function and forced me to miss the show. It was fuckin terrible. I'm still pissed about that shit.
2nd was a couple years ago at a Tech N9ne show in Colorado Springs. I was thrown out of the show about 30 minutes before Tech went on because I was in the front and lost a shoe. Some security guy grabed me by the back of my shirt and threw me out because he said that because I was missing a shoe I was too drunk to be at the show. I probably was but it was still pretty weak.

I forget what year it was, quite a while ago though my sister and I went to see Soulfly. We stopped to get some airport bottles for the show. We got them in fine, but my dumb ass little sister was so drunk she was mixing a drink right in front of a fuckin' bouncer. The opening act was still on stage, I think it was Ill Nino or Dope or some shit, I forget, but yeah... totally got kicked the fuck outta there before Soulfly took the stage. I was so pissed... wasted like 60 bucks on tix and didn't even get to see the fuckers all thanks to my dumb ass little sister.
I'm goin' to see Soulfly soon here though again for free, stoked as fuck! I haven't seen a Soulfly show in like 3 years now and this time, the little sister is not invited, lol.

Del the Funky Homo @ the ShowBox in Seattle. The best performance was from the MC who introduced acts and had a dope reggae/hip-hop set of his own. Del's entire performance, the faggot kids in the audience, the faggot security grabbin people and yellin "wheres the dope!?!?" and interrogating them during the show...fucking weak all around. I ain't bumped a single Del song since and will probably not go to a rap show in Seattle ever again as 90% of them have been gay as fuck.
I went to see what was supposed to be Das Efx and The Boot Camp Clik.
It was a Wednesday night in Milwaukee in January in the middle of a snow storm.
Showed up and we thought the venue was closed because it looked that way from outside and there were no cars or anything.
It wasn’t closed though.
Total there were maybe 30 people there – 50 if you count bar tenders, bouncers, and misc staff.
There was no heat other than these giant propane heaters. I think there were two of them that were supposed to keep us warm (and I don’t think are legal for indoor use).
Das Efx was a total no show and most of the members of the Boot Camp Clik were seriously drunk. Show was like a half hour.
The plus side to it all was that because there was no one there we pretty much just chilled with Pumpkinhead (who opened) and the Boot Camp Clik once the show was over.

I went with my brother to see Yukmouth at the Normandie Casino in L.A. It was a show put on by Shawn Healy I believe. We showed up around 10:00 figuring Yukmouth would perform around 11:00-12:00 and we would have to sit through some bullshit rappers for a while. Well, at 11:00 I go and ask someone what time Yukmouth is performing. They say in 30 minutes. So at 11:30, I go and ask again and get the same answer. So I go back again at midnight and ask again and get the same answer except now I ask to speak to the person in charge. So dude comes out and says Yukmouth isn't even here yet and was supposed to be here and performing already. So sometime around 1:00 a.m. there are a bunch of people running towards the entrance and there is a bunch of cops around. Come to find out Yukmouth finally arrived and some fools tried to start shit with him when he was trying to get out of his car. So the show is cancelled because of this. Yukmouth comes into the venue for a few minutes and talks to the people who were actually there to see him and thanks us for coming out but it was cancelled over some bullshit. So now we are in a long line demanding our money back but the guy can't give it to us since we purchased it through Ticketmaster. He said he would notify Ticketmaster that the show was cancelled and we would get refunds. He said they would also reschedule the show somewhere in Hollywood. So my brother and I call Ticketmaster the following week and find out the rescheduled show is on a weekday and he can't make it but I can, so I decide to roll solo. Not only did I go by myself, but he only performed for 30 minutes. I could believe I drove an hour for that plus what I went through already. Fuck that. Talk about disappointing.
Living Legends concert. to drunk and high to remember how to get there so we stopped at a gas station for directions. we knew we were late but we said fuck it lets try and find the place. next thing you know it we see a big ass crowd of people walking across the street in front of us. we ask them whats crackin wheres the party at? they said they just got done watching the Living Legends concert which was just across the street. we were pissed but laughing at the same time because we were so high and the dude that had the free tix for us was my homies cuzzin who was sober and was hella hyped to see the legends for his first time.

Dead Prez, Goodie Mob, and Outkast back in 99.
We was waitin for them at their hotel to do interviews with em before the show and they were hella late. When they finally arrived Goodie Mob and Outkast didn't have time to do the interviews anymore. Luckily Dead Prez had time and we chilled in their room. Hello cool dudes...
Then when we got to the concert, Goodie Mob was almost finished and then Outkast performed but also only for a couple songs, cause the place was only booked till a certain time...
Also Redman and Method Man in 2001. They were the headliners and just didn't show.

Was this at the Gas Lighter in downtown Gilroy? Fuck I've gone to some great shows there but I had the same problem as you. It was a concert with Mac Dre and his crew and a crew titled "Northern Ghetto Boys", I'm sure it consisted of Conor and a bunch of them Norteno Artist. Anyway we were circling the block trying to find parking and I remember being like damn this line to get in is long as fuck. We pass a huge group of flamed up fools around the back so I was like cool my red shirt shouldn't be a problem from getting in. Well we wait in line for about 30 minutes, at this point there are like 5 cop cars all over the street with GPD patting people down to get in. I get checked out and get the go ahead by one cop, I walk to the door then this other bastard cop says I can't go in with my red shirt. I was like wtf, other cop just gave me the go ahead. Dude wasn't budging. So me and my folks are walking up the street to find any fuckin place open to buy a shirt. Luckily some skate shop was open so I bought a fuckin' Pac shirt. Got in finally and every mother fucker in there seemed to be wearing red!! I guess the crew we seen around the corner was part of the performance and got in through the back. Total bullshit, there was fuckers wearing red sweat suits and shit!
