Worst: I saw Andrew Sachs grandaughter and her friends perform a burlesque act before a My Vitriol gig
Fair play Russell Brand....

Off the top of my head , Suicide ,Specials and the Slits all supporting the Clash at different gigs.
One of the worst, Joy Division supporting John Cooper Clarke

Wow I am very surprised to see Joy Division on the worst list. I thought most people who saw them loved them? out of interest why were they so bad? Much love to John Copper Clarke and still doing the rounds today. |

They came across as a dire muddy dirge that seemed to go on for hours |

My Vitriol.. I had forgotten about them! I actually got into Leeds Festival with a My Vitriol artists pass many years ago and had people asking for my autograph... which kind of made me smile as I am not sure any of the band look remotely like me!! are they still going? Remember they were touted as something special around the time Coldplay, Muse, JJ72 were doing the rounds.

There playing a gig in London in May(?) but they havent released any material since 2008 and the only have album they released came out in 2000 so they are a strange act!
I use to love JJ72  |

Just done a bit of researching and she released an album last week under the name of 'The River Cry'
Very dark & morbid sounding songs |

Really!! I thought she was a cardboard cutout eye candy to help sell the band rather than a musician.

Seen too many decent support acts to mention, but the worst must be those who backed Metallica a few years back at the MEN.
The Sword, stereotype heavy rock band. 2 verses, mind numbing 5 minute guitars followed by 3rd verse. Think Spinal Type with guitar stance. Next up, Machinehead, whose set consisted of song, yo Manchester, song, yo motherf$$$$$$s, yo ......ad nauseum. Thankfully, Metallica were a wonderful surprise.

Just remembered a great support act Bob Log III. Supported Franz Ferdinand in Bradford in around 2005. Also The Kills supported that night so overall a good night. Not sure how that slipped my mind
