Last year drag went to a concert to hear a famous band drag liked. They sucked, they were too loud and overwhelming. But one of the opening acts, a local band drag had never heard of before, was amazing. And drag is a fan of them now.
New stuff is great!
This was me seeing The Watchmen for the first time in 1990. Holy shit, what an amazing band.
I missed Smashing Pumpkins when they were nobodies opening for Guns-n-Roses. GNR sucked balls, Rose was wasted and showed up 2-hours late, sound was unintelligible, all that. Wish I could have seen the Pumpkins.
You have at least a couple of things that make it not quite the scenario I described in my comment. Yes, warm-up acts are kind of an ad, but they're the pre-show ad. People who watch movies prefer the "trailers" before the movie, not interspersed within it.
And trailers work. Sometimes. Lots of parallels with support acts there.
Secondly, the main band being terrible is not the norm. You went there expecting them to be good and to hear your old favourites, not their new stuff. Maybe you would have liked some of their new stuff if they hadn't been hopeless at everything else as well, but that isn't the main thing you were there for.
Drag has autism. Drag doesn't know if they played new songs or old songs, it was too loud and drag left during their first song. It hurt to be there.
What. A drag?
They are talking about themselves in the third dragson.
