The latter is just too painful for words.

Sam Fox & Mick Fleetwood presenting The Brit Awards.
He was fine, but she completely messed it up.
The untimely deaths of:
Jimi Hendrix
Buddy Holly
Keith Moon
John Bonham
Elvis
Stevie Nicks' live concert covers of Led Zeppelin's 'Rock and Roll'. I love Stevie Nicks, but her voice is no longer right for singing this song. If she'd done it in 1980...
Both Celine Dion, and Meat Loaf / Marion Raven mauling 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now'.
The original by Pandora's Box is SO much better!
The death of two fans during the GN'R set at Castle Donnington.
All those new bands who claim to be 'Rock' performing at the Live 8 Concert.
It was appalling ~
then Annie Lennox / The Who / Pink Floyd came on and showed them how it should be done!

Personally, it's Lennon's assassination.
But a close second is the Altamont concert, which unlike no other event in rock history seems to have left a permanent stain on the psyche of the entire genre, and killed any lingering sense of innocence and naivete in rock music held over from the mid- to late 60's.
If I had to give a third, it'd be the crash that killed Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Richie Valens...that was the first time rock fans had to deal with a tragedy of such calamitous proportions.
A 4th? Disco. (Sorta kidding).

Well, Death is pretty sad, even though it's inevitable. I particularly mourn for Mick Ronson, Bon Scott, Cliff Burton,
Joey Ramone, Phil Lynotte.
A bad day in rock history was when CBGB's closed. And now Hilly Kristal is dead.
The plane crashes that took Randy Rhoads, Otis Redding, Jim Croce, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Denver, the Lynryrd Skynryd band
The horrible self serving and infantile black metal bands of Norway burning churches and killing each other
The fire at the club in Rhode Island

Oh my god, that Celine Dion thing might be worse than Altamont!
The Police bickering with each other before their induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

This is in no definite order, just what came to mind first....
John Lennon stating The Beatles were bigger then Jesus.. It was true; just not something you should pronounce to the world....
Dime Bag Darrells murder.. Senseless,unbelievable,ridiculous and many more words that would so suit this terrible, terrible tragedy.... R.I.P..
John Lennons murder.. Again same as above.....
All murders, suicides, overdoses, acts of God, everytime we lose a musician we lose a piece of history..
Sex scandals and drug selling.... I imagine there has been some pretty bad moments there as well...
And the Celine Dion thing? well that is just downright atrocious.... I support our Canadian musicians but even I bow my head in shame.....

No one has mentioned the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, and The Big Bopper. That one definitely ranks up there.
About Scott Stapp.... 20 years from now, the first question in any ethics / morals class will be "If you could go back to the day Scott Stapp was born, would you kill him while he was still a baby?" Hitler would be completely forgotten.
Oh, and the correct answer would be "Yes."

Grunge was starting to become dated once we got to the late 90's, but I wasn't prepared for part of the void to be filled by.....BOY BANDS??? This was too much to bear. The death of John Lennon has been mentioned by everyone else. Some others:
The consolidation of the radio industry to a legalized monopoly.
The death of Kurt Cobain.
The seismic shift to the now present form of emo.
Nickelback.
Lilith Fair.
The first break-up of Jane's Addiction.
LMAO at Scott Stapp. The birth of the true scum of the earth was a dark day, but pales in comparison to the album birth of My Own Prison.
My guess is that if you fail to pay the casinos back their markers, the punishment would be to make you sit through an entire Celine Dion concert including that song. That is worse than Linkin Park doing Wish.

Aside from the unfortunate deaths, I'd have to say Avril Lavigne singing Knockin' On Heaven's Door and Hilary Duff doing a version of My Generation. Both are horrible.

I could never put it to simply one event. Like was mentioned before, Lennon, Stevie Ray, Cobain...
Add to those, the members of Skynyrd, the singer for Alice in Chains, the singer for Blind Melon, Zappa, Garcia, Bon Scott, so much talent lost.

The fan trampling in Cincinnati at the Who concert in the 70's stands out. And if you don't think it had an impact, have you been to a concert lately that allows you to move up to teh stage. There's more security than a presidential tour!
