20+ Music lovers who saw terrible concerts: 'Lead singer had a meltdown and ran off stage'

There's nothing like going to a great concert, but every now and then, you attend one that's a complete stinker. Sometimes, it's the venue's fault. Maybe it's 90 degrees out, and the venue has no AC. Or perhaps the speakers are a zillion years old, and they squawk out every song, making you wish you had earplugs. I've been to plenty of concerts where the microphones give out mid-show, and the sound tech has to come on stage while the lead singer makes small talk until it's all fixed again.

However, sometimes the blame is easy to pin on the main act. Although this seems to be less and less common, there are some bands who party way too hard and way too often. A lot of the bands I see have members who are in their 30s or 40s, and have kids and side jobs, so they aren't partying 24/7. They show up ready to perform — they aren't like the rockstars of old who show up smashed and wobble around the stage. Some audiences are down to watch their favorite artists act a little goofy, but there's a limit to their patience. Once the artist forgets half the words to a song, can't stand up, or scraps the setlist and starts ad-libbing for 20 minutes, music lovers start rolling their eyes and wishing the show would end.
