- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Worst Concert you've been to?

How was east bay ray
Sonic Youth was up there. They were playing boring newer stuff and in between songs telling us to be sure to register to vote (Democrat of course). Let your voice be heard, MAAAAAAN! Even as a high schooler, I thought "What a bunch of faggots."
Wu-Tang Clan opening for Rage Against The Machine in late 90s was dogshit. (RATM was fine but Wu-Tang, who I like, was a dumpster fire.)
OTOH, I saw Redman and Method Man together at UMass and it was fucking great.

Probably Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2011. I was really excited to see them for the first time, even though John Frusciante wasn’t there anymore. But they really felt like a bunch of washed up old man just going through the motions playing the greatest hits. I didn’t know what I expected though. Really gave up on them after that.
I saw Less Than Jake 5-10 years ago. I loved them as a kid but never got to see them. The singer spent half the show bitching about being the support.band and that it was annoying the only people who still show up to see them never want to hear the new stuff they did. "Maybe if you bought our new albums you'd know some of our songs we play now. we haven't been a ska band for 20 year stop asking for Pezcore stuff" etc.
I left hating my former self for liking that shitshow of a band.

Seen them a couple of times. Last was Warped Tour in 2018. They were always good when I saw them
I have not been to enough but my wife said the worst concert was David Lee Roth. She said his voice sounded like shit
Dave Matthews Band
I think they played maybe 8 songs.

Elliot Smith, 2000. He was deep into heroin addiction at that point and looked like a corpse. He stunk, he literally stunk. He smelled like a wool hat with hints of a severe sinus infection. Rushed through the entire set and at one point his keyboardist threw a massive Roland electric piano into the crowd and a few people were hurt. Some bottles were thrown the house lights came up and everyone was told to get the fuck out.
The Mars Volta were by far the sloppiest shit live band I've ever seen
It was 4 hour show wasn't it?
Perhaps more than that.
I somehow ended up at a Phish concert and really just wanted a quiet place to lay down.
Saw Coheed & Cambria during the stretch where Claudio Sanchez was bottoming out on oxy or whatever pills he was addicted to and they played well but the show overall sucked. No energy from the band whatsoever.
I also saw Blink 182 back in like 2008 (never liked them to begin with but got dragged there by my girlfriend at the time) and Tom Delonge was so blacked out drunk that he couldn't remember any of the lyrics and was obnoxiously fucking up all of his guitar parts. It was hilariously bad.

Blink has to have one of the most inconsistent quality in live shows. I saw them during the Neighborhoods tour and Delonge sounded so fucking horrible it ruined the whole show. However, I saw them twice when Skiba was part of the band and both times it was a fun show. Funny enough, I saw Delonge with AVA when they toured in 2019 and he actually sounded great. I think taking all those years off from touring allowed him to improve his vocals because he always had a reputation for sounding like shit live.
Coheed at Terminal 5 in NYC. It was offensively bad, he was squealing into the mic, and people were pissed because it literally hurt to listen to. Three songs in and half the crowd had already left. It is the only time I felt robbed by a musician and I've seen Jack Terricloth of World Inferno literally propped up by hooks while his band played because he was unconscious and wouldn't wake up.
Bob Dylan 1988, people were awful too, long haired horseshoe bald professor looking types
