I disagree.
I saw them 'live' on the television and concluded they were fucking terrible in around 3 seconds. Some of the most embarrassing lyrics I have ever heard - and I've heard 'The Lebanon' by The Human League.

It may have helped that the support band were the worst band I have ever heard

Who were they?
And worst band you'd ever heard or ever seen live? If the former, I'm going to have to play the Oasis card again.

Pendulum.
Must have been.

they win the award for "band that has most quickly put me off listening to them with their appalling live act"

and a minor medal
for 'band that drives people to Fightstar's loving embrace'

Fightstar are an odd band
They started with two pretty damn good tracks, then just completely went to shit. It was embarrassing.

that is impressive

ten minutes of Pendulum
and I fucked off to Fightstar who were quite good

Dillinger Escape Plan
they were so bad it hurt. I led the booing.

The best part of the gig was when the guitarist fell over, then dropped his guitar when he stood up.

Hahaha
Worst band I've ever seen live were the White Stripes. They were perfectly organised, just unbelievably dull.

see, I saw them in 2001 or 2002 and they remain one of the most intense and exciting gigs I have seen

Maybe they just weren't up for it when I saw them
Which is fucking inexcusable as they were headlining Glastonbury

that's a shame
they really were excellent

Maybe all the cunts with juggling balls and waki hats
put him off.

Fair enough I say.

I like the cut of that fellow's jib.
He stands for proper music on decent vintage kit and turns his nose up at polished production. I throughly approve.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 16 Mar 2011, 10:01, Reply)

he is also an outrageously good guitarist
the point where he'd put his guitar down on the stage and was playing it like a man possessed in a lap steel way was amazing.

He is.

They are fucking dire
The singer has attempted to start an online argument with Jared Leto. It just reeks of jealousy.
