Title. Yeah.

Once a really shitty local band from Miami opened for The Strokes, and I felt like dying.

Head Automatica is by far the worst i've seen, though. They irked the hell out of me.

How about yourselves?

lol. HA put on a great show when I saw them. What did they do that "urked" (irked...) you that much?

Worst opening band award goes to the completely obvious choice: Metro Station

ahh, the u is next to the i, and it sounded ok so i didn't realize it.

They opened for taking back sunday like two years ago, and the whole time all the singer was doing was walking across the stage like "its fucking wet up here oh my gawd!"

And they sounded like ass. And I don't like them to begin with.

You are an incredibly unlucky person to had to have watched Metro Station.

sonny moore on the AP tour. technically not an opener, but you know.

personally, i dont like his music...and he definately did not fit in with the rest of the line up (forever the sickest kids, the matches, all time low, the rocket summer)

I came in to say Metro Station. I don't remember who I was seeing but they were opening and I almost cryed.

This was before anyone knew them though so I at least escaped the unlimited fans.

I'd say he fits in perfectly with ATL and FTSK. All three suck.

That's lame. They played a show here a couple years ago and they stuck to playing music most of the time, as it should be.

And yes, I had to sit through Metro Station to see Motion City Soundtrack. They made me sprint to the bar.

Speaking of Head Automatica and shitty opening acts, I saw Morningwood open for HA a couple of years ago and it was horrible... the chick spent more time prancing around with a toy horse than singing, shoved it in someone's face, stepped on me to try walking on the bar and slapped my friend for not paying attention to her.

Worst opening act for me has been Spill Canvas. Both times I sat through them, I've wanted to fall asleep. There was no energy or stage presence either time.

Fear Before The March Of Flames. So awful, the lead singer had to be drunk or high or somthing, because he ran around the stage sluring every word and the diving into horrid shreaks. blah. It was a hometown show for them, so maybe he was just cocky? Either way they sucked

For some reason last night I had a 10 minute conversation about how to spell irked. It's funny that I open this thread and see it again

Ohh, and I hate We are the Fury. They seem to be opening for every show I see, and they suck every time.

Yeah protest is fucking queer right? Man my musical preference sucks.

I'll see you all later, I've gotta go get my tatoo done on my right arm. It's a sick tribal, barbed wire and shit. Then I heard that Lidz is having a sale on all New-Era caps.

Just saw Metro Station on the Soundtrack of My Summer Tour and I have to hand it to them- they are in my top 5 worst live bands and that's including absolutely no stage presence. Also, when they were singing "Seventeen Forever" and pointing to all the 14 and under girls, I was thoroughly creeped out.
