I hate saying this because my favorite band, but Massive Attack ruined my favorite song by essentially playing noise at the end for a long time 😔 that said the performance of Teardrop was incredible, so it saved everything.

what do you mean "noise", and what year?

[insecuredesign]

2019. At the end of Dissolved Girl they went on what felt like a long improv solo that didn’t fit with the song and sounded like noise to me.

ah, the Mezzanine anniversary tour.
I didnt get to attend that one. I know the album vocalist for that song didnt go on tour (i think shes a teacher and declined to go on the road? They played along to an acapella track of the studio recording vocals, right?)

My absolutely worst concert going experience was with Massive Attack. I went to Mad Cool Madrid music festival to see them for a first time (and it's not like it was a little trip, it was flying from Russia). There was time for them to perform, we missed Arctic Monkeys to get nice spots, and we waited and waited and waited. And after almost two hours of waiting in horrible heat, they announced that Massive Attack cancelled their performance because they were annoyed with group on another stage. Crowd went nuts. It was terrifying. I honestly lost a lot of respect for them after that.

oh wow, that's horrible, I'm so sorry

I went to the same tour but hardly remember anything, I'm glad I went in general but it wasn't life changing clearly

Honestly came into this post to mention Massive Attack. Saw them at the o2 (I think it was 2019) and it was such a nothing of a gig. Pious political slogans on the screen, masses of flashing lights that were truly distressing, awful sound. I think we left early, along with hundreds of other people.
