Embarrassing Shows You've Seen & Bands Insulting Each Other Onstage

leave it to pbr.  bring back those shitty free snickers.

I remember this: I saw a bunch of 30-something, obviously "normie" guys who liked punk play their first show outside of a local brewery a few years back. Horrible sound, couldn't keep it together, Epiphone equipment, just a total shit show. It was outside and people kept walking away. But it was like one of those things you could tell they wanted to do since 17, life happened, and they were just now going about it? It kind of was like a cross between The Wipers and Epitaph records skate punk. Singer was some total yuppie Asian guy who looked horrified to be playing live.

Like imagine a group of really nervous 16 year olds playing their first punk show? But middle aged men?

BUT...I give them credit for doing it!

since this thread is branching out, and I probably mentioned this somewhere else but my personal snappy comeback to a band was thus:
(Circa 2008 at a club in Tokyo)
Dearly departed Damien Lovelock of the Celibate Rifles: This is a song by a band that put out one great record followed by a bunch of shitty ones...
Me: Don't they all!!
(followed by a Rose Tattoo cover)

The rhythm guitarist grinned (I had chatted with him before the show) but maybe Damien took it as an insult!
...

The early San Diego HC punk scene was pretty embarrassing in general ~ I personally saw a SD SkinHead (don't worry, they were mostly Mex-Amer!) try to beat down Mike Ness, and I heard that they also tried to beat on the Lords of the New Church! But I also witnessed an idiot skin we nicknamed "Potato head" spit on Milo when he came out with Black Flag before Henry and did some grinding (improvised?) lurcher...wtf dude?

nike ness had it coming

...but Stiv was innocent!

seriuosly tho, I was full-on into east coast HC by that SD show and only went because San Diego was starved for shows and it was close by my house. I had SSD stenciled on my jeans ffs but probably hadn't seen Another State of Mind although I probably knew of Ness' anti-SE feelings ~ watever~ the beatdown was most likely for wearing eyeliner!
Can't remember who opened that night, but I did see 5051 at that same venue ~opening for the Red Rockers maybe...they were one of the better SD bands and worthy of KBDedness in retrospective I suppose.
Do you have that Our Blowout comp. cassette Vedi?

Great - enjoy! I went to high school with two of the guys from District Tradition on that cassette...One was James Cooper who went on to the Meatmen...

Was anyone here present for the Lost Sounds meltdown in Europe?

I wasn't but I still have the DVD. It was at the Taun club, in Fidenza (Italy).

That reminds me: I was at the famous Wavves meltdown in Barcelona in 2009! That was funny. I thought he was trolling, had a great time watching it unfold. He was constantly stopping and berating the sound person because he couldn't hear, then trying to play something, forgetting what he was playing, stopping again to tune up and yell more. Until the drummer threw part of his kit at him and fled the stage.

doubly hilarious because they are such a bad band

I believe it spilled directly over to the Goner board with either Jay or Alicia complaining about it directly to the board.

I was waiting for somebody who actually was there to tell the story but I guess I'll have to.

I can't remember what ignited it (I think Alicja wanting to play a different song and not backing down or something) but at one point Jay left the stage and went into the green room (the door went directly onto the stage) and started throwing shit at Alicja on stage, including an empty hard plastic case for water bottles. At the same time, Alicja was laughing at him and saying into the microphone "Jay has a small dick" or something like that. That was the meltdown. The audience seemed to enjoy it.

Then our friend who had booked the tour had to drive them back to his parents' house (separate cars) and he was up all night worrying they would've killed each other. The morning after the band was over.

I've seen video. She was also saying that Jay needed a hug. could someone give Jay a hug

[P-TNT]

Mark Sultan threw an insane fit as he thought that my friend called him fat (which he didn't, he said "lets go fatsos" to our group of people to prompt to go to see the gig) while walking to the stage. He came back a year later (along side Tyvek tour I think) and and just ranted the entire gig how he didn't want to be there in the first place.
