This was a fantastically entertaining episode. And Rodney's telling of the Wyclef Jean performance was so hilarious I had to play it three times. Great stuff, Milkmen! I love you guys in so many ways. We'll, not THAT way, you fabulous freaks!
Saw Wyclef at Cornell a few years earlier and exactly same type of scene. Thanks for confirming it wasn’t me that it was the worst concert I had been to. And he was a headliner
Thank you Rodney for reminding me of the Wyclef Jean performance. Your play by play is spot on. A recent career ending show I saw online is from The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Band barely played,The singer screamed and yelled at the fans. The show ends with Anton,the singer & one the guitarist fighting onstage while the crowd throws cups and whatever they could find at the stage. In my mind,This should be a career ending performance and shows the group are a bunch of dicks and don't deserve the career they have.
There are so many gems in this episode, we're dying listening to this. (Greetings from I-84.) The "Soviet-era launching pad" damn near killed us, and it would have been worth it.
Funny episode this week. If you ignore the Linda McCartney and Yoko Ono performances you've mentioned in other episodes, the worst is José Feliciano performing "Every Breath You Take" at the Polar Music Prize in 2017. The best bit is that Sting is the audience and has to listen to it.
My girlfriend (at the time) saw the Club MTV concert at the Meadowlands for the concert where the sound system wasn't working correctly. She mentioned that Tone Loc and Milli Vanilli still sounded good but everyone else sounded awful. When the lip-syncing broke, we all had a good laugh at the Meadowlands concert.
I watch plenty of channels that I don't subscribe to, i just look them up whenever I have time and mood for specific type of video theu might offer. I am subscribed to this channel for some reason though. Perhaps I am really looking forward for your videos
Hahaha i SAW the milli Vanni show in CT and was dragged there by my ex girlfriend who was mad at me for years cause it was common to lipsink 😂😂 she eventually married someone from a semi famous 80s metal band and doesn't like to talk about it 😅😂😅 I wore a public enemy tshirt to it and walked in the exit. I saw some other great shows there walking in the exit. Plus our parents hated that music and nobody would pick up and we were like 15 and had to walk home with no money starving, freezing and got home at dawn. It was horrible!!! All of it was a nightmare and the whole crowd went silent when the machine starts skipping and i of course started laughing and everyone gave me the "death stare"
The funny thing about producer Frank Farian is that he did the exact same thing in the seventies with Boney M. Why was everyone so shocked that Milli Vanilli was a fake, too?
I'm always puzzled by the fact that Conor Oberst still has a career in music. I know so many folks who have come back from shows where has been too intoxicated too exhausted or has been having some sort of mental episode, and I have to wonder if they are just paying for the tickets so that they can say that they were there the night he dropped dead on stage.
I'd like to think that maybe Wyclef was doing it on purpose. Like, maybe he had a fight with the promoter and was purposely giving them a contractual obligation performance. Yeah, probably not the case.
I just watched the Wyclef Jean set. It would have been okay if he wasn't scheduled and they asked him to fill in for a band that was AWOL, but didn't prepare for crap!😅 Whadda doofball.
The worst live performance I witnessed on youtube was something by My Chemical Romance. Don't remember which song and what year was it, but it seemed like band members didn't listen to each other and it seemed so amateur. Their songs aren't that great to begin with and it could have been a single bad day for them, I don't know and I don't care. I deemed them the worst live band ever and avoided them since. Green Day at least can play decently live and sometimes they can do a great show like "bullet in the bible", when they're not whining. When I was a little kid I was denied from entering a musical school, because I couldn't sing scales or clap rhythm. At home and on TV there was mostly shitty EDM and russian pop ( I grew up in post soviet Lithuania, born in 1989) which made me hate and ignore music in general from age 6 up to 13. Bands like Linkin Park or Green Day made me like music once again and Green Day even inspired me to pick up the guitar at age of 16, despite being "tone deaf" like teacher said, which I am not. Today I can't listen to Linkin Park, their music makes me feel emberassed, it's so baaaad, but I still love Green Day's older stuff up to and including American Idiot. I get bored quickly when revisiting those songs, but they have a special place in my heart
billy idol opened his first tucson show with something about "nice place except for the fing mexicans" oh no. who do you think bought all those copies of twitch
I so wished that Red Hot Chili Peppers' performance on SNL could've ended things for them. Not that they were good to begin with. Still, with them making it big on a ballad was the signal of what was to come. Everything that came after an otherwise passable album would've never happened.
My Saturday mornings wouldn't be the same without these videos. Thanks guys.
1000%!

Ed, drummer from Dracula's Miniskirt, here. Thanks for mentioning our band. Thanks for this fun episode, too.
Dracula’s Miniskirt rules!
Rodney, don't ever change.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Corey Feldman. I've been watching clips of him during my lunch break. More fun than car crash videos. 🥴
We had a “No Corey Feldman” rule
Please tell me you've watched Melon's (theneedledrop) review of Corey's album Angelic 2 The Core. It's worth every glorious second.
In the thumbnail, I thought Rodney was Carlos Santana😂, had to grab my glasses.
Have you ever seen Rodney and Santana in the same room? Hmmmmmmm

I will be severely disappointed if Thaddeus Goodpretzel does not appear at the Ren Fest in Lancaster next year.
OR Goodpickle. Either.

Great episode. The ending was spectacular!

I love these men.
The Milli Vanilli Documentary is worth a watch!

She mentioned that Tone Loc and Milli Vanilli still sounded good but everyone else sounded awful. When the lip-syncing broke, we all had a good laugh at the Meadowlands concert.
The Bob Dylan performance on the Letterman anniversary show is the worst live performance I have ever seen. Surprised that isn't on here.

Thadeus Goodpretzel haha 🦃
The worst performance was my own on an open mic night. There was no career to end and never will be. Haha! Gotta work on my beer to blood ratio

And someone threw fried dough at me hahaha and I was "saucy"

Maybe it was a robotic Wyclef Jean? Like in “Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Amusement Park”
PILGRIM HAT RODNEY !!!!!!!!! YAY !!!
Was it a rapper with a Facebook page?
Don't worry nobody watches all the way to the end. 29:47
I'm thinking Rodney isn't a Mr. Bungle fan.

Rodney , I’ve loved ya since I was in the 4th grade , but this was your cringiest rant yet . Ooff!
That'd be rad to learn how to play an instrument from Dandrew. Wish I lived close.
