"They came to New Zealand and they ballsed it up" has got to be my favourite one sentence review of an event ever.

The Auckland gig was truly awful. Awful venue. Awful sound. Awful attitude coming from the stage. An actual brotherly fight would have been way better than the nothingness they were putting into it. I remember coming away wondering how these dickheads ever gained the mantle of best band in the world.
Indeed I was. No gasping required. Only time I ever went to a concert in the big tin shed where they hold Armageddon every Easter weekend. Made the nearby Logan Campbell sound like the Albert Hall.
