Public Enemy (huge letdown)
John Cale (twice, the second time he was opening for Pere Ubu in a no re-entry club so I couldn't get away even though I knew he would do a piano ballad set that would make Barry Manilow cringe while fucking things up frequently)
Beastie Boys (only group I've walked out on twice, first time was on their legendary Licensed to Ill tour when they were so drunk they slurred all of their raps and just got rocker chicks to show their tits to them, second time was at the first End Fest in Seattle where they went on after Sonic Youth)
Nurse With Wound (I'd probably try again, but only if I knew the Stapleton wasn't going to enlist every musician within 50 miles for a pointless never ending jam session where nobody listened to anybody else)
Damo Sazuki (same exact story as NWW!)
Mother Love Bone (as a huge fan of Malfunkshun & Green River watching them band together and try to be Guns & Roses was truly traumatizing)
Dizzy Gilespie (sadly very past his prime and in a club where the sound system was picking up a country station in the speakers)
Autechre (I still love them, but that was the most boring "live" show ever)
