Well i saw Panic! at the disco last night. I had shit seats and it was so hot. Anyways, i was pissed off cause they only played for 45min and i nearly punched a chick in the face. ok everyone (who can) imagine festivall hall, on the side seats, the ok ones have plastic red backs and are chairs whereas where i was sitting it was like a bench, with a thin wooden back, anyway at one point the chick or should i say like 14yr old child behind me disappeared and my friend was sitting on top of the wooden back, so i joined her,

i didnt realise the CHILD was back and she tapped me on the shoulder and said sit on your seat, there isnt enough room for me too dance, so i put my hand up to say ok watever and looked over at my friend and then i felt to hands in my back and i went flying into the chick infront of me and smashed my shin into the wooden back of the seats infront of me. I turned around and was like what the fuck do you think you are doing and she was like i asked you to move and you gave me the hand and ignored me so i pushed you. I was like what the fuck,,, i cant remember what i said cause i was so angry and my leg was hurting so bad, all i remember was waving my hands at her and she was doing the same and i thought if she had the nerve to push me she would hit me, and i swear i was a second away to doing it, but i thought she was a waste of my time.

Anyway so i just turned around and TRIEd to enjoy myself, thinking i would say something to her after. but just before they finished she left. So after the SHIT show some other chick who must of been behind us at the back came and said dont worry about that girl she is just a tart! I felt like that girl had assaulted me!! If that ever happens again ill be sure to go to security and report it. You should see my leg, i cant walk on it and its got bruises and a long scrape mark all down it. I spose at least the swelling has gone down a bit. But yeah, that was the SHITTEST concert EVER!!
p.s To of of you guys younger than myself, this is not an attack on age lol i love you guys, but im gonna stay away from concerts like that that have teenies as young as 7 sceaming thier lungs out with clothes they have made with baby pics of the lead singer. also behind me i had 2 12 yr olds screaming every word to everysong except 2 and all i could hear was them, no one else.

Ohhh and i REALLY think they should get aircon thier b/c the amount of ppl i saw them dragging out of the pit and them collapsing on the ground and being rushed into ambulances was ridiculus.

its pretty weird for a 20 year old to want to see that band anyway, hey.

My last memory of Festy Hall is bad. Mainly because of the person I went with though :p But the seats are shit there.

Sorry to hear you had a bad night Jodez. That girl sounds like a pyscho. I can see how people take things the wrong way at gigs though. I've been lucky. For example at the Long Necks show last year, I accidentally knocked a beer out of a guy's hand and thought he was gonna smash the shit out of me. He put his hand on my shoulder and said "Don't worry, I was trying to get rid of it anyway." But his friend didn't look too happy.

45mins is pretty poor. Did you go to the AA or 18+ show? I thought the 18+ show was tonight.

Also, I know what you mean about something shit happening at a gig, then you try to enjoy yourself and you just can't. Sometimes I've had shit on my mind beforehand, and despite how good the band are, I just can't get into it.

10-08-2006, 03:26 PM
i think a couple of my friends went to melbourne for that show, i'll have to find out what they thought of it.

as i always try to take a peaceful approach to things, i'd probably not hit someone, but if some young tart tried to push me around i'd stand on her foot and give her a nudge, causing her to fall over and become very embarrassed :p

Jodez
10-08-2006, 03:29 PM
It was the all age gig. unfortuantely. i dont know why i went lol, but did. yeah well if i had seen her leaving i would have accidently bumped into her causing her to fall down the hundrends of steps lol! but, if she had hit me like i think she was going to, why not hit her back, lol Im old enough to know better,

As much as it pains me to say it, I went to Maroon 5 once. But, it was only as a favour to my cousin. Anyway, we got there and she gave us our tickets and we were sitting at completely different places.My seat was in a reeeaally bad spot, the sound was shit. There was this massive group of 12 year olds behind me, all with these stupid matching homemade shirts about how much they love whatever the people's names are. They wouldn't shut up, kept telling anybody within shouting distance about how dey lyk ttly nu da band n how dey r lyk osm lol!!1
Plus, the actual band were horrible. The singer sounds like the cop from the simpsons live, it was awful. I ended up leaving early and sitting in the car.

Then at TLE in May some turd elbowed me in the face and gave me a blood nose. Thankfully it was before TLE actually started so I could go and get cleaned up, but still. Eugh.

When ZGT played in Toowoomba last time, all the scene kids turned up and basically spent the whole time jumping around shoving and punching people and trying to trash the places. Little fuckers.

TLE + ZGT were still awesome gigs, there were just some absolute wankers there.

EDIT: Also, Jodez, I hope your leg is okay! :)

Lol, well I guess that answers my question. Damn, that sucks that you had a shit time.

that would suck shit house! in the nicest possible way of course.

greenday concert

had wahaaay too much water at the start from the security dudes, i was 2nd back from the rail right at the best spot, when the bladder started to fill up i held on for dear life but when you have that many people push against you..so i had to get pulled out, i litterally was bending over with a cramp from holding it in so hobbled my way to the bathrooms which were outside the venue!
bet you were thinking i was going to say so i peed my pants lol

TLE concert may
bruised chest from hiding camera
studded belt rolled over my head
80kg + guy hoisted himself up on me
old sleazy man getting a tad too close
hair got caught in someone elses belt, felt like a was going to get scalped
oh this one was funny..my bra cam undone the hook part managed to go out mu arm hole and hook onto someone elses woolen top! it was so hard to gett it off that persons top but man it had me in fits afterwards

but that concert was awsome all the same :)

Neryssah, speaking of elbows to the face and Festy Hall while we're on the topic. My friend I went to Hilltop Hoods with, got elbowed in the face on the way out (accidentally). It was kinda karma though, because I had a shit night because of her and she was in such a rush to get out of there. If she just waited it wouldn't have happened.

Kev
10-08-2006, 03:43 PM
The wrst gig I have been to recently was one where a DJ headlined over a really awesome band.

The lineup went something like this:

Some shitty local band
The Vasco Era
DJ John Course.

The uni paid over $3000 for John Course, and bugger all people stuck around for it. They saw The Vasco Era then took off hahahahah.

Topic - Worst Concert Ever

First Line - Well i saw Panic! at the disco last night.


Yeah I would have thought it was the worst concert ever if I had of seen them too...

Jodez
10-08-2006, 03:52 PM
Lol, well I guess that answers my question. Damn, that sucks that you had a shit time.

haha yes well. HNow about yourself, where were you? dont you think they should have played longer? even when i saw hoobastank (yes i know shuttup i was in yr12) they played longer that P!ATD

cdejonge
10-08-2006, 03:56 PM
Hoobastank are okay! I think there's many worse bands than P!ATD. For example The Getaway Plan ... okay shouldn't have got myself started.

Jodez
10-08-2006, 04:02 PM
Ok i just had a serious moment, what would people judge as assault? cause seriously i think that girl would kill if anyone interuppted her or didnt do as she says in one second. Was that reportable?

cdejonge
10-08-2006, 04:10 PM
Probably could be. Sometimes at gigs, security would jump right on that if they saw it. It can be pretty inconsistent though.

That didn't really answer your question did it? :p

hehe not really. it something you sort of expect in a mosh, pushing and shoving, but when you are seated and stuff. She had no right to do that to me, you know what i mean. Like seriously. it wasnt like it was an accident, it was intentional. some girls were standing up on thier seats at one stage, you dont see other people pushing them off, you sorta think ok, well thats great i cant see. but you dont pushing them. i just think, damn teenies.

old sleazy man getting a tad too close


That reminded me of something that happened at the Brissy show. I had my phone in my pocket and I was really worried that it'd fall out so I kept checking my pocket every few minutes, cos if I didn't have the phone I couldn't get home. Anyway, it was so squished in that whenever I put my hand on my pocket, the guy in front thought I was groping him :p

10-08-2006, 04:28 PM
If you go to a teenibopper concernt ya gotta expect teenibopper behaviour. To be very blunt, I'd just say get over it. It's not worth worrying about now.

Jodez
10-08-2006, 04:35 PM
Well i didnt expect that many teenies but also ive never come across one that would intentionaly hurt someone just b/c they didnt move in an instant. The reason im not getting over it is cause she Maliciously injured me. and i was thinking that at the time and if it were to happen again, would it be worth doing anything b/c what if i had put my arm backwards and she thought omg and then hit me, or if someone else pissed her off would she attack them! ya know she was very very agressive. I didnt think people would do that.

Rhiannon
10-08-2006, 04:46 PM
haha yes well. HNow about yourself, where were you? dont you think they should have played longer? even when i saw hoobastank (yes i know shuttup i was in yr12) they played longer that P!ATD

I was on the balcony, about half way up. I was two days late in getting tickets so I missed out on GA.
I really didn't expect the concert to go that long. I knew it was gonna be 3 hours, and with 2 support acts there goes two hours. I suppose as they release more albums they'll go for longer. Maybe they could have played more covers? I loved the two they did, though. Karma Police is one of my favourite songs, so I really enjoyed that one.

I didn't know that gig was going to be AA, though. When I got the ticket a was told it was 18+. So. Many. Kids. Ew.

The security was really anal about the bag check. "What's that?" "A discman" "What's that?" "Sunglasses"

Jodez
10-08-2006, 04:55 PM
yea they were uptight. of course i lied and said i didnt have a camera. ahh trusty back with secret zip. i think he didnt beleive me, cause he was really eyeing in my bag as he wasnt touching it. Oh well you probably thought it was 18+ cause i think balcony is only 18 overs cause of the bar, well when i got my tix for TLE in may some seats were 18+ but i got to swap my ticket to the balcony....ahhh concerts and alcohol i dont think really mix, especially when you see ppl completly gone before the main act and then throwing up over the edge. i hope no one got thrown up on.that would have sucked ass

Rhiannon
10-08-2006, 05:02 PM
Oh that would be horrible. :| Yeah, I don't like alcohol much, either. I really don't drink save for the occasional Cruiser, and I hate being around drunk people. You just can't read them. Drunk people at concerts/in the city freak me out even more.

Jodez
10-08-2006, 05:05 PM
Drunk and drinking ppl holding a cigarette in a mosh pit inches from your hair and back doesnt make me feel to happy either.

10-08-2006, 05:14 PM
Yeah I don't really like it either. Which is why ZGT will be good this week :)

10-08-2006, 05:17 PM
Worst concert ever....
Hmm.... probably TLE @ Fed Square last year. Only coz it was sooo hot and we'd been waiting around all afternoon to see em. Then when everyone started turning up these girls came and stood right in front of me, and i asked them if they would mind moving just a bit and one of em told me to 'Get over myself'. So yeah, I was shitty after that ... haha!

Too skanky.

I was at a Green Day show, and I was at the barricade with about 40,000 people behind me. Anyways, I made it through Jimmy Eat World and Anti-Flag, but about 3 minutes before Green Day got on, it was really starting to get pushy. I tried my best to stay in the spot, but some big guy moved beside me and I got squished even more. My purse was choking me, and I was freaking out. And the security guards had to pick a fight with the big guy who was just standing there glaring at them and not budging. It;s a good thing someone helped me out, or I would have had even more bruises.

10-08-2006, 08:03 PM
Nah..there were/still are rumours going around that it was, but it's been confirmed that it wasn't.

Q. I heard Chris played with Green Day in December 05 and was also the Drunken rabbit. Is this true?
A. Chris did play with Green Day in December 05 at the Melbourne gig. Though he did not play the drunken rabbit as reported by undercover (http://www.undercover.com.au/). Tre Cool played this part as he always does. Chris & Green Day performed the Clash hit 'I Fought The Law'.

Rhiannon
10-08-2006, 08:31 PM
I was fortunate at the Green Day concert, the bloke behind me kept his arms on either side of me all night (i was on the barrier) so, while I still got very squished, I was about as protected as you can be in a mosh. It was pretty easy. Just as well, cause it was my first mosh.

I've never been to a bad concert. The worst thing that's ever happened at a concert was at Rob Thomas on Valentines day this year - the support act, The Hamptons, sucked big time. When they said "This is going to be our last song" everyone cheered. But it was still alright.
Moshes don't bother me, cause I have a very high tolerance for pain.

Kacky, where did you see Green Day? Cause the one I went to had My Chemical Romance and Jimmy Eat World as support acts.

Kev
10-08-2006, 09:30 PM
Another couple of bad gigs come to mind now are:

BDO 2004. Metallica. Bogans everywhere. Boring day.
BDO 2006. Boringest Day ever. Aside from the Greenhornes, Subways, TLE and TMV it was boring. I slept a bit too at the virgin mobile tent. Good times.

Colezy
10-08-2006, 09:36 PM
I've never really had a bad gig. But I guess if I had to choose, the worst one for me would have to be Falls Festival 05-06.
Most of my friends were extremely drunk (way, way, waaaay more than myself) and I got bored and sick and tired of looking after everyone cause they were stupid enough not to look after themselves in the first place. It meant that I couldn't enjoy it all too.
Besides, that year was going to be nothing compared to the year before when TLE played on NYE and I was on the barrier for it all! :)

Two words: Rogue Tradershaha, bring back memories of my "famous" comments when they finally started their set: "Don't f#$@ it up this time!"

Interesting to read all these posts. I've only been to one BDO - 2006. I enjoyed it, especially TLE, Hilltop Hoods and Airbourne. Although I did have free tickets.

Lol I remember that Cass! That was so funny!

10-09-2006, 04:37 PM
Hmm. I don't think I've ever been to an essentially horrible concert. However, there are a couple that make the list due to circumstances rather than bad music.

Matchbox Twenty 2003 - Great performance by the band. But to start off the night, our seats weren't that great. We thought they were better from the website. But yeah, not that great. A few songs in to the concert when we stood up to get a better view of the band (and because half the rest of the audience was also standing up), the drunk bastards sitting behind us started yelling at us and pushing us because they couldn't see. They were too bloody drunk/stupid/lazy to stand up themselves. We ignored them for a bit, so then they called security over to make us sit down. So we sat down, but then after a while we wanted to stand up again. Same deal. Bitching from behind. Security. The security guard suggested we could go and stand over the very back of the hall if we wanted to stand up. So I grumbled and walked up the back to stand up. I stayed there for the rest of the show. And as if that wasn't enough, some 20-something year old guy came up to me, grabbed my arse and told me I was sexy. WTF? So I spent the rest of the night trying desperately to enjoy the music while also avoiding this homosexual paedophile.

Anyways, second on the list would be Homebake 04. The first and probably last festival I will ever go to. The bands were great yes, but man festivals are so overrated. Too many people. Too much sunshine. Way expensive food. My back was so so SO sore. By the time the end of the day came around I couldn't be stuffed going to watch a band play. I felt like my back was about to snap and my feet were about to fall off. Just not a good way to see a band play. Overrated.

Julian
10-09-2006, 04:42 PM
Yeah thats why i'm not always keen on forking out for festivals even though i've never been to one. I get tired and disinterested really easily and I hate big crowds.

10-09-2006, 05:52 PM
Kacky, where did you see Green Day? Cause the one I went to had My Chemical Romance and Jimmy Eat World as support acts.

I don't think I was at a Green Day show near you. There's a 14 hour time difference between us. :p

I'm a 25 yr old who went to see Panic! At the Disco. Yes i felt quite old and most of the people older than me there were parents of the kids. Yes - the kids pissed me off (what is going on with the 'fashion' these days) but seriously, i couldn't give a shit if people think they're a 'teeny' band. I like them, i love the cd so i forked out the money to see them. I can't be assed with this 'it's cool to bag this band' bullcrap.

RE: P!ATD short set. Yes it was short but its a band with one cd? What did you expect. I expected exactly what I got - the whole cd plus some cover songs. I also think thats why Kisschasy played a bit longer than a usual support band would (from what i noticed. They seemed to be on for quite a while.

Stephen
10-10-2006, 01:16 AM
Exactly. Well put, Arnya.

Im 26 years old. So I shouldnt be listening to music like P!ATD? OH NO!! WHERE DID MY STREET CRED GO! I SHOULD BE LISTENING TO UNDERGROUND BANDS THAT KIDS DONT KNOW! I didnt know there was an age limit for listening to certain bands. To be brutally honest, Id say that a lot of P!ATD fans are also TLE fans. Does that mean that anyone over 20 shouldnt be listening to TLE either?? Thats probably one of the most ridiculous statements Ive ever read Kylie. For shame!

If a band has only been around 12 months and has one album, you cant expect them to play for over an hour. 45-50 minutes is about standard for one-album-bands. Bands with more material that play 40 minute sets is pretty poor though. I saw Atreyu a couple of months ago. They have 3 albums, yet they played for just under 40 minutes. I thought that was a disgrace.

I went to the P!ATD show too. Festival Hall is still a terrible venue. Hate that place. Yes there were kids everywhere, but what did you expect? If the kids start to get aggressive with you, get aggressive back. I did it at TLE in May and the worst that came of it was me glaring at a 14 year old skank, and her giving me the finger. Big deal.

I enjoyed the show. P!ATD are good at what they do, and for 18 year olds who have only been a band for 12 months, they put on a pretty good show. Not sure if Id see them again, and definitely not at an all ages show or at Festival Hall. But I still had fun, and it was far from the worst concert Ive ever seen.

When did liking music become so elitist?? Just enjoy it for what it is, and if you dont like it, well...chances are no one else cares what you think.

The Dying Start
10-10-2006, 01:31 AM
I'm not sure i could single out a concert that was utter shite...i tend to chose what shows i go to carefully, and with support bands aside, the main gig rarely disappoints. Of course sometimes there are knobs in the crowd, but none that have totally written off my night.

That dizzy cow that the thread was started about though....i woulda thumped her! Well actually i wouldn't, coz a 23 year old hitting a little girl is a bit wrong. But if i was a girl i would have flattened her out. As a guy i just would got in her way alot...she's obviously a spoilt brat who no doubt after a brief tussle will have tanty coz she's not getting her way and go elsewhere.

10-10-2006, 01:40 AM
yeah i would have decked her. lol almost did that at MXPX but rethought it cause it was a guy (mind u, he was in my face, u know elbows & feet were into me).
but then i would have also would have pointed out the fact that she was only 12 and nothing she could do about it!!!

Not the worst concert, but worst concert experience was losing my camera to a crowdsurfer's foot, then falling over when the crowd moved and no one helping me up for half a song. In the end I just yanked on a guy's jeans and he realised and helped me up, but I was well bruised...

Also a day-fest at an unusual concert venue. Hard to get to (and home). Food and drink was amazingly disorganised - up to 2 hours queuing, and no guarentee of being served by the 5 people there anytime soon once you were at the front. No seats anywhere, ridiculous sound...all absolute chaos.

10-10-2006, 08:30 AM
For worst I'd have to say Bon Jovi, Nov. 2005. The actual concert was okay, I guess, but the experience was horrible. The opening band was a band called Snoozebox, and appropiately they were very boring. So, my sister and I thought we'd check out the merchandise. Extremely expensive, but we thought a t-shirt would be okay. For some reason the credit card machine wasn't working and the lines were too long to try somewhere else. All through the show some woman in her 40's behind us yelled out "Wooohoooo, John, come on over!" no matter how many people told her to shut up. A few rows down a drunk girl was sitting on the shoulders of some guy, waving her arms about, tossing her empty cups into the crowd. Meanwhile, two girls next to us began making out (among other things...). Most bizarre crowd I've been in. An ice storm hit on the way home and we accidently went over the Ben Franklin bridge into New Jersey (the next state over), so we had to pay to get back into Pennsylvania and drive home on icey roads.

My memories of festival hall are so bad i have no memories of it! Though i'm more pissed off that i finally met boardie friends and can't remember then having no memory of the gig.

Good Charlotte soundwave festival 2004. First time they had come to Perth and i took my little cousin. I wanted to throw stuff at them, not cause of the music but the "OMG WE LOVE PERTH I WANT TO FATHER A PERTH CHILD GIVE BIRTH IN PERTH WE WILL NEVER SKIP YOU AGAIN OMG OMG PERTH IS AWESOME YOUR ALL SO HOT!"
Then they skipped Perth again and my cousin was devastated.

Unwritten Law was annoying too, because they were all so drunk, and encouraging people to ignore security and stage dive and crowd surf.

My bf says blink in 2003 was the worst for him cause of all the young people in the mosh you spent more time trying to stay standing then watching the band.

I sorta sympathise with the kid.


I get pissed off when people in front of me decide to stand-up at a gig thus me missing out on seeing a band. I bought a seat for the night, so I would like to use it. Whilst I think her actions were a bit severe, she had every right to tell Jodez to sit back down. People who stand up in seated areas piss me off. Oh and just because she is younger than you Jodez, doesn't mean you have more power over her.


Anyways, worst concert was probably BDO 2003. I think it was 2003, the one with the Foo Fighters. It was just boring and the sound was shite. From where I was, you got bleed from the other stages so you couldn't hear the Foo Fighters well at all. Oh and I escaped to get food whilst Queens of the Stoneage were playing. That was stupid on my behalf though.

Rhiannon
10-10-2006, 03:20 PM
Speaking of Matchbox 20... I wasn't there, but a friend of mine who I went to the Rob Thomas concert with this year was telling me that last time Matchbox 20 was here she went and Rob didn't even make it through the entire show. At the start he was saying how his throat was giving him issues but he was gonna power through it for those in the crowd. A few songs later he walks off stage. The band follow. It was a long time before anyone came back on stage to alert the crowd that there'd be no more show.

I would have been gutted if I had of been there.

So, naturally, during his concert this year when he started saying how he was having thoat issues again I was worried. But he made it through the show this time. Now he says he's allergic to Melbourne. :/

I sorta sympathise with the kid.


I get pissed off when people in front of me decide to stand-up at a gig thus me missing out on seeing a band. I bought a seat for the night, so I would like to use it. Whilst I think her actions were a bit severe, she had every right to tell Jodez to sit back down. People who stand up in seated areas piss me off. Oh and just because she is younger than you Jodez, doesn't mean you have more power over her.


Anyways, worst concert was probably BDO 2003. I think it was 2003, the one with the Foo Fighters. It was just boring and the sound was shite. From where I was, you got bleed from the other stages so you couldn't hear the Foo Fighters well at all. Oh and I escaped to get food whilst Queens of the Stoneage were playing. That was stupid on my behalf though.

Everyone in seats was standing up and in festy hall they get higher and higher. Thats not what caused the problem at all. I leeant backwards on my seat and if anything she would have been able to see better, it was because apparently she had no room to dance and jump, even tho i wasnt blocking her in any way. So im not complaining about something that your saying that i was standing up. b/c everyone was standing in the seats, and the only reason i stood up is so i could see infront of me, then i got bored and wanted to sit down and then thats when she hissy fitted. Im short so like i said, there was nothing wrong with her view and she was fairly tall for her age. And i dont beleive i hav power over her just because im older. Im not the type of person who thinks like that. so i never even thought of that when i wrote this. I was just extremely appauled and shocked by the behaviour and the reason i didnt punch her out was because i thought it wasnt worth getting into a fight about it. i guess in that case i was the older person per say because i didnt slug her back. She had no right to do what she did.
I missed half of the show then cause i had to sit down b/c i couldnt stand on my leg. It hurt so bad, should see the bruises now, they are all funky lookin and huge, at least the scrape is sorta healing up

The singer sounds like the cop from the simpsons live, it was awful. I ended up leaving early and sitting in the car.


I actually rate him as a vocalist.


Anyway I havent had much bad stuff happen to me, but I have dished out a bit to crowd surfers etc.

Ive dropped a couple of knocked the wind out of them. Dont know bout everyone else but I dont appreciate people clambering all over my head

For worst I'd have to say Bon Jovi, Nov. 2005. The actual concert was okay, I guess, but the experience was horrible. The opening band was a band called Snoozebox, and appropiately they were very boring. So, my sister and I thought we'd check out the merchandise. Extremely expensive, but we thought a t-shirt would be okay. For some reason the credit card machine wasn't working and the lines were too long to try somewhere else. All through the show some woman in her 40's behind us yelled out "Wooohoooo, John, come on over!" no matter how many people told her to shut up. A few rows down a drunk girl was sitting on the shoulders of some guy, waving her arms about, tossing her empty cups into the crowd. Meanwhile, two girls next to us began making out (among other things...). Most bizarre crowd I've been in. An ice storm hit on the way home and we accidently went over the Ben Franklin bridge into New Jersey (the next state over), so we had to pay to get back into Pennsylvania and drive home on icey roads.

Haha that sounded more then interesting!

45 minutes is a pretty short set for a headliner.. but then I guess they dont have that many songs or something right?
I mean, havent they only been around for one album? Or maybe not. I only know that one song.

I dont know what the worst gig I've ever been to was. Maybe at Livid in 03 when we went to see the white stripes, but that was just because we were right up the back and there were these two old people tuning each other hard.
