Well, I've managed to see alot of bands, and alot of the ones i expected to be good seeing as they were popular or whatever, sucked.
examples: Metro Station, All Time Low, Play!Radio!Play! (because his songs all have completely fake accents), The Maine was amazing the first time i saw them, and then the second, they sounded terrible. confuzzzing.

Boys Night Out blew hardddd when i saw them.
So did Mayday Parade the last time i saw them, but they were pretty good the first time.

In case anyone didnt already know, Alesana is fucking terrible live too.

i saw them back in 2005 with taking back sunday and i'll definitely agree. i also saw underoath with tbs in 2007 and was not impressed at all.

any newer pop punk/synth/emo band that plays live currently sucks simply b/c none of the singers can sing everything on the CD is autotuned so live unless they recreate the auto tune it will never sound good b/c most of the singers cant sing for shit......thats why that scene should die......and you can tell when a band arrives on stage wether they truly love music or are just there to bang groupies collect money and drive nice cars.....example SAY ANYTHING.....horrible.........anywa ys thats all im saying im so sick and tired of that scene right now its so bad.......

All Time Low is actually good live. But the majority of pop-rock bands in the "scene" have auto-tuned vocals and I agree can't replicate them live.

And watch Fall Out Boy's first performance on conan O'brien of SWGD, pretty bad.

Fall Out Boy does songs off TTTYG fairly decent and songs of FUCT badly. When i saw All Time Low at warped tour they were actually really good. Got the harmonies down and everything.

When I saw them, it was at a mostly acoustic show. They took so long to set up (I don't know if there were difficulties and whatnot), and then they played for so long. I just wasn't really impressed either.

Hmmm that's weird, I figured that they'd put on a really crazy show, considering how good their recorded material is. I'm surprised they would put on an acoustic show since their music really isn't written to be played that way.

They didn't play acoustic, every other band did. Maybe it was just an off night for them. I didn't care to look into them after seeing them, though.

The Go! Team, while not an amazing band, crafts very infectious and fun music. Unfortunately, all of that "infectious fun" was nowhere to be seen in the particularly dreary performance of theirs I saw this summer.

Sons & Daughters and The Apples in Stereo, two bands I adore, were also shockingly average when I saw both this past spring.

Emarosa was a particularly crappy show when I saw them this summer. The first time I saw Envy on the Coast they were great (the winter tour with Anthony Green) but then when I saw them open for TREOS at the final show Ryan's vocals left a lot to be desired. Senses Fail is also very poor.

My friend won a street team contest through The Format for an acoustic show at The Cutting Room in the city, so he brought me as his "+1", and Anathallo played a set too. Really great live band.

08/24/08, 09:48 PM
Yeah, Fall Out Boy is pretty fucking terrible live. Or at least they were before they got huge and could afford to digitally manipulate everything they do on stage.

The worst band I ever saw live was Fall of Troy. They bored the ever loving shit out of me, gave me a headache, and the drummer got so pissed at one point that he threw his sticks down, left, and came back ten minutes later like nothing happened. I saw the guys from Coheed and Cambria play obviously fucked up out of their mind (Claudio fell through the drum kit at the end and pretty much berated the crowd the whole time), and it is still nothing like the clusterfuck that was The Fall of Troy.

lol. first, opening band. i think it was before their CD came out so not too many people knew of them. or at least to the extent of fame they have now. i can't decide what was more annoying: their actual music or seeing trace cyrus chase down skank while i was in the lobby.

haha. I still can't believe Anberlin and MCS toured with freaking Metro Station. I know they're not hard rock or anything, but I wonder who put that tour together.

I know a dude from Motion City Soundtrack helped produce (or something alone those lines) Metro Station's CD. I only know because they thanked them during their set. Remember, this was really before they got big. Otherwise, i have no other excuses for this.

08/25/08, 07:55 PM
Well, I've managed to see alot of bands, and alot of the ones i expected to be good seeing as they were popular or whatever, sucked.
examples: Metro Station, All Time Low, Play!Radio!Play! (because his songs all have completely fake accents), The Maine was amazing the first time i saw them, and then the second, they sounded terrible. confuzzzing.


i dont think ATL is bad live at all.
Alex can actually sing.

but much agreement with metro station...i had to sit through them 4 times... oh the things i do for mcs...

the first time i saw metro station they were really good. the past two times, though, they've completely sucked. it's like trace doesn't even want to sing the rights notes/in the right key. or even sing in general. he'd rather just kind of speak the words in a whisper.

Maybe it's because Trace is a lazy fuckhead who's living in the shadow of his equally shitty sister and deep down knows that nobody should 'shake it'.

I've never seen MCR, but I thought they put on a good live show also.

each of the three times i've seen them (opening for other bands or as part of a festival each time), they were god awful.

finger 11 goes on top of my list of 'horrible live bands to never see again', too - the singer was so wasted, he stopped mid-song to puke multiple times, slurred through songs, and only played a 4 song set.

Reggie And The Full Effect is one of the BEST live shows I've been to...

James just has so much personality and makes sure no one in the crowd is bored.

TheZeroKid
09/11/08, 07:38 AM
I can even pin down the exact show: 30 Seconds To Mars at the 2007. The crowd sang more 30STM than Jared Leto did.

And I've seen The Dear Hunter twice and they were amazing both times!

YES YES YES. Jesus Christ Ive never want to jump on stage and start stabbing people like I did when I saw Mayday Parade. Like a fool i gave them a second chance at warped and it was just awful. The singer cant hold a tune in a 50gallon bucket. I wanted to make a sign that said I can sing your songs better than you but I didnt have proper supplies.... and I didnt want to get mobbed by teenie boppers

Cute is what we aim for is just garbage all the time. Ive seen elementary school kids write better lyrics


Fall out boy was actually good the first time I saw them. Now mind you this was in 01 or 02 In Chicago. The band was down to earth and sounded really good considering the band PA equiptment. Each time Ive seen them since its been a rapid decline until the last show I attended in 05 when I decided that Pet wentz would really be better off dead than alive...

I agree with you about Mayday Parade. They weren't that bad, but when I saw them in June, well for one the guitars were WAY too loud and I could barely hear the song Derek was singing unless they announced it before they played or during the chorus. And when I could hear him sing, it wasn't all that great either. But I might be seeing them in Oct., so maybe my thoughts will change.

I liked the album, but when I walked up to the stage at warped, I was heavily disappointed. It was nothing like the album. I thought it was absolutely horrific.:yuk:
