I was actually - and still am, really - very annoyed because I just wanted to hear Mike Amott and Jeff Loomis, as two of my favourite guitarists! Thankfully they get quieter solo spots so all was not lost.
In terms of a bad performance, I think I've been fairly lucky as nothing springs to mind. I saw Dragonforce in 2007 and both guitarists were too pissed to play their parts properly, ditto Alexi Laiho with Children of Bodom at Bloodstock in 2010. Although I was also too pissed to care at the latter. I know Alexi cleaned up in later years and he was great the last time I saw them in 2016, but it is a shame when you get excited to either see a band, or even just watch old live footage, and he's too pissed to nail his famously intricate parts.
Although it's a shame to have seen those great players in their decline, it sounds like they were still very memorable occasions, so that's good, in a sad sort of way.
Reminds me of seeing Badlands at the Astoria, not a bad gig but a very odd one. Ray Gillen (RIP) had quit the band before the tour and supposedly been replaced, but lo and behold there he was - and the rest of the band clearly hated him. Jake E Lee never looked at him once, and at one point Greg Chaisson, the bass player, stood on the mic lead so Ray had to sing half a song crouched down by Greg's feet. Uncomfortable viewing.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
On the subject of bad performances because they were too loud, the performance may have been ok, but the PA turned up to distortion levels could be the cause, in fact many a gig has been ruined because the soundman doesn't know what he's doing

I have developed a dislike of lead guitarists, who seem to all play white Flying V Guitars in post punk/punk rock bands, and whose solos consist of random notes from the minor pentatonic/blues scale interspersed with equally random pinched harmonics. I well remember seeing one incarnation of the Noisettes in this category, and another post punk band (cannot remember their name), who were quite well known.
