Worst Support Act

[Roland Butter]

Have you seen some stinkers ?

Who is deserving of a lobbed plastic bottle of **** ?

I thought Jona Lewie was bad when he supported Jack Bruce in an early 80s gig but at least Jona had had a hit single and he could hold a note.

Current holder is a terrible singer/guitarist/songwriter Edgar Broughton who supported the excellent Roger Chapman [ ex-Family ] in a recent gig.

His tuneless dirges made a 40 minute set seem like 40 decades.

Trouble was they turned all of the amps up to 11 so that the sound was just a distorted mess and Coverdale was incapable of anything above an indecipherable, pathetic croak - I couldn't wait for their set to finish, they were absolutely awful. Last on was Journey and lo and behold, the sound was crystal clear again and they played an absolute blinder of a set.

Yes, rock lore says that if the main band feel threatened by a good support act the sound guy will deliberately make them sound crap the next
night.
