worse concert venue name ever?  does anyone know of a worse one?

"nissan is a terrible venue" is now "lube is a terrible venue".  better yet: "the concert scene in DC would be better without nissan" is now "the concert scene in DC would be better without lube"

<insert predictable jokes about trying to squeeze additional shows in to lube... and of course referencing ticket prices>

[gaaaaaaaaah]

...seriously?

That might be the worst corporate venue name I've ever seen.

i was kinda hoping for trojan vibrating condom pavilion.  oh wait . . . viriginia is a piece of shit that doesn't sell them.

I think Jiffy Lube Live takes the cake. Or whatever car related pun you choose to use.

Jiffy Lube Live is hilarious.  What does that even mean??  Its so retarded I can't even think of a joke . . .it just creates a nebulous feeling of stale uncomfortableness.

If they added pavilion to the end, like "Jiffy Lube Live Pavilion," it wouldn't be NEARLY as bad.

"ram's head live!"

[Mobius]

Ram's Head Live! gets a pass b/c its a satellite of a music club, and the Live!, while ambiguous, at least serves to differentiate it from the Tavern.

Jiffy Lube Live sounds like a touring ice show where the cast of characters perform elaborate ice dances simulating oil changes, lube jobs, pipe cleanings and other double entendre's

might have one that is worse, or at least comes close: Comfort Dental Amphitheatre.  seriously - which marketing idiot was so far up his own navel that he thought that "comfort" and "dental" are two words concert-goers want associated with their venues?  really??.

"Yes, Comfort Dental, those sensible purveyors of teeth-cleanings and hugs, picked up the naming rights to Fiddler?s Green last week, because nothing says sex, drugs, and rock ?n? roll like awkward conversation with dental hygienists. " - http://www.avclub.com/denver/articles/the-new-comfort-dental-amphitheatre-as-bad-as-a-ro,37495/

rawk on, america, rawk on.

Sounds like a natural place to sell nitrous in the parking lot.

[notme]

they will change the oil in your car in the parking lot while you attend the concert.  this will be an option
when you purchase a ticket.

actually, gas stations in lots that sold cigarettes, water, gum, bottle/can cozies, soda, no beer (you have to bring your own), ice . . . seems like a good idea.  maybe we need a "chevron post pavilion".
