I've heard bands that sounded worse . Once at an audition the other guitarist in my band had a tooth pulled and was on pain meds when he tuned his guitar 1/2 step off. It was the biggest train wreck ever , me and the bass player tuned up to him in the first song . The singer was so lost it was like Ashley Simpson on Saturday Night Live when her karaoke machine broke . Someone told me later it sounded like Captain Beefheart on a drunken-drug binge . We still got the gig so I guess we weren't the worst band out of 4 there that night.
