Rammstein, their stage shows are unreal.

Ugly kid Joe, saw them live. They can sing, also have a brilliant rapport with the crowd.

Carter USM, I like, wonder when they will regroup again.

Strange point but I've seen many bands many times and sometimes gigs are less than great due to crowd. Saw Iron Maiden late 88 at Hammersmith and crowd were crap, and the Damned in Gloucester a few weeks ago was same, crowd as dead as a doornail.

The Fall have always been shambolic when I've seen them live but that is part of their charm. As for disappointing; I was gutted as a teenager about how bad Ned's Atomic Dustbin were at the Phoenix Festival. As I grew to understand a bit more about sound engineering though it may not have been their fault.

Not on that particular occasion. I did see them afterwards (Wulfrun Hall I think) and they were brilliant.

Speaking of being shambolic, I saw UB40 as part of a charity gig at the NEC in the 80's, all the bands had Midlands roots, Elo, The Moody Blues, Slade, Robert Plant etc.

When they played Red Red Wine, Astro came on stage about 30 seconds late completely missing his rapping part....he claimed he'd got lost backstage

Coldplay for me too. Special birthday treat in Paris and they were abysmal. It's the first time I've ever been at a concert and a professional band have started a song..then stopped cause they got it totally wrong and just didn't bother trying it again. It was a farce. Got to say...the meal and the wine after were out of this world though. Softened the blow a bit.

Next day in the public toilets in The Tuileries they were playing "Clocks" just to add insult to injury.

Worst band I ever saw were some clowns supporting the Levellers in Manchester back in '92 or thereabouts. So bad I thought they had been dragged in off the street to make up the bill, some Welsh whiners called Manic Street Preachers. Put it this way, if I'd been part of that show idea have jumped off a bridge too. Fecking abysmal, whiny moronic student crap.

Watch some of their recent performances on YouTube (live on Jimmy Kimmel or Ellen Degeneres). David Lee Roth couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

The rest of the band can still play but Roth ruins it. Eddie has also become a bitter and twisted human being.

Had the misfortune of hearing the stone roses at reading festival 96. Pure drivel. It was Brown and some session guys by then mind.

Totally agree James are one of the best bands I've seen live.
