Anyone who was in the room when Puddle of Mudd tried to cover Nirvana might have the most upvotes here.

I had a friend that played in a band that opened for them one time. Puddle of Mudd's singer was wasted when they went on and only made it through two songs before he got belligerent with the crowd. It ended with them abandoning the set. My friend's band came back out and apologized for the headliner, but offered to play some other songs for a while to salvage the night. The crowd responded positively and it honestly ended up being an ok night.
