[quote=Anonymous]God, so many....

Neil Diamond, when he was selling out a week at the Cap Centre. Cheesy, full of himself, couldn't hit half the notes anymore. I was alone in that opinion, though; the crowd was positively worshipful.

Frankie Valli--had totally lost his falsetto, which didn't leave much left to his repertoire.

Justin Bieber--this was just before he publicly tanked, so maybe he was having issues already. I think he made a good effort early in his career, but by this tour it was clear he was bored with it all.

The Cure--twice in the '80s. Twice awful.

The Stones in '89--everything that's wrong with arena rock.

Most of the hair '80s bands--particularly, Poison, Warrant, and Skid Row. Pretty much all were arena-level with only a few years' experience in the clubs and were coasting on one hit.

The worst of all are a three-way tie:

The Young and the Useless, Adam Horowitz's punk band; he later joined the Beastie Boys. I saw the Beasties in '87 and they sucked too (although I think "Paul's Boutique" is one of the greatest recordings ever).

Guns 'N Roses, opening for Aerosmith. GNR were the new critics' darling and Aerosmith were trying to come back, so I guess Steven Tyler thought he had something to prove. He totally blew Axl Rose out of the water. GNR were so lame that I fully expected them to fizzle out, but I didn't get that one right...[/quote]
