We saw them at Summerfest. We didn't make it in time to get admittance to Tom Petty (If I remember correctly it was Petty), and my sisters thought Keanu was hot, so they dragged me and our dad along.

Best- Pj Harvey (I felt as if she walked on to stage, kicked me in the stomach and sang only for me)
Face to Face (Reunion show), James, The Dresden Dolls (Best Damn Fans in the World),
Tegan and Sara (It's like an old Rat Pack show with all the quips and banter)

Worst- The Cure (They didn't move around or talk, They played so damn well I could have saved my money and listened to the CD at home)

I recently saw Pendulum, in the same week as Coldplay.

Coldplay were really, really amazing, but Pendulum was just so insane, so so insane.

Muse at Wembley Stadium however.

Best - Any Nine Inch Nails show, but I would have to say that the Downward Spiral era shows were probably the best. Tool, Iron Maiden, Sevendust (saw them at a small venue about 10 years ago and they put on a crazy show).

Worst - Guns N Roses hands down. Axl sounded horrible!

Nine Inch Nails really must have improved since I saw them back in '94.

At the concert I attended he never talked to the audience, the audio was terrible, and half the stage effects seemed to work at random.

What really cheesed me was his silence towards the audience. I don't need a speech between every song, but if we're going to spend upwards of forty bucks to see you, you could at least thank us for coming out at the end of the show.

The Jerk Store called, they're running out of Reznor.

Oh god....must.....resist......overused.......joke............


AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh.....Glad I got that out of my system.


Actually Chig, I had the same problem with Radiohead earlier this year. Granted I'm not exactly the biggest Radiohead fan (Theyre good, but I like other bands more), but they were completely silent to the audience as well. I couldnt stand it.

My best concert was Rage against the Machine, completely amazing and actually the day after Radiohead. It was a complete turnaround.
