Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Axe HeroDragged to the Hammersmith Odeon (as was) by my hard-rockin' friends to see Al di Meola ("The greatest guitarist in the world, man. It'll rock HARD"). I paid far too much on the door, and got in just in time for the man himself to walk on stage, perch on a stool and treat us to two hours of rambling jazz odyssey on the acoustic guitar.
One guy at the front was going ape-shit-mental to Meola's random noodlings, and the bar was packed.
No refunds.
