3 times...

grateful dead MSG NYC 88--went to see opening artist (who canceled). After about 5-10 minutes it was INTOLERABLE. I will say this--there fans REALLY get their
groove on..dancin and shakin like no other
fans I've EVER seen.

Stones--shea stadium NYC '89. Again went to see Living Colour open. After 30 min
of same old Stones it got boring.

Bowie--New jersey '94. And AGAIN went to see opening band NIN. Bowie was good but it was when he ONLY played new songs
and since I don't follow his music or that new lp I couldn't get into it.

Odd how I left shows of 3 classic bands.

i walked out of celle on the night music soulchild was there.i was prego and was having a hard time with my ass falling asleep sitting on the floor. and didnt feel like standing that long.lazzzy me

Motörhead - just because it was too loud, my ears were hurting!

Ween - what a bunch of fuckers! They had almost sold out the small venue and they came on stage with an attitude like: Haha, we will fuck your evening up! And that's exactly what they did!

George Clinton - after 4.5 hours of good funk and a lot of drinks, the old man was still funkin'...I had to go!

Wilco- this one I regret but I was still exhausted of dancing to Kruder & Dorfmeister the night before.

St.-Germain - this was a worthless show

I guess there are some more...

I'm sure there have been others, but the most recent was Cornershop's tour in 2002...

They make me so sad, I LOVE their cds, but THEY SUCK LIVE...a complete and total lack of stage presence that leaves a whole so big you forget you are at a concert.

That's the 2nd time Ive seen Cornershop and been bored..I will NEVER see them live again...

Paul Young. I was a bit pissed off that I did though because 6 months later I saw it on TV and about 2 mins after I walked out, Michael Aspel came on stage and gave him the "This Is Your Life" book.

the fugees with lauryn hill back in 1995. why?? you may ask...well to be honest... i was really excited about the concert... and i had to leave... because lauryn hill was up there preaching a bunch of racist shit...talkin about the "white man" and blahblahblah... i looked at the audience...and realized that 1/2 or better of First Ave. was filled with her "white" fans. anyhoo... i was so i left

I don't know if this counts but, I went with a friend to see Fishbone back in the day. They'd opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I saw maybe a minute of the Peppers and we left.

I should have walked out of this Billy Preston concert. Actually, the only reason I went was because Mazarati had originally been scheduled to perform at the Ritz in NYC. However, they cancelled and I couldn't get back my money. Preston replaced them (WTF?) so I went. Not that he was bad, I was just bummed that I didn't get the chance to see Mazarati.

rolling stones 1981 , once i witnessed the man they call prince open procedures nothing else was worth watching , especially as prince got treated with no respect from the rednex in the crowd.

You walked out of Bowie and The Rolling Stones??? Holy shit! I saw NIN with Bowie too and I thought he was great...and I was mainly there to see NIN.

The only concert I walked out of was Mr. Bungle. They played mostly their new album and I didn't like it.

Then there were a couple of Ozzfests and other all day events that I left early from. Mostly because I was drunk and tired.

me and a bunch of friends almost walked out of a goldfinger concert back in...'97, methinx. it wuz at this place called supertoad in des moines, iowa--not a big venue (it's iowa, man ). the bloodhound gang were one of the openin acts, and lawd did they ever suck big wind...in the end we stayed 4 the bloodhound gang, and it wuz so funny cuz either folks started leavin the place, or sittin on the floor. me and my friends heckled the band durin their set.

in retrospect, i shoulda walked out.

Ahhh the Bloodhound Gang!!! They played at an all day event once and I passed out in the middle of the crowd. I drank a few cocktails and it was about 99 degrees out. I was WAY dehydrated It happened right when they were singing the "do it like the discovery channel" part!


I cant' fucking spell today...sorry

i walked out of Jill Scott a couple of years ago. it was a packed house and all her and the band did was noodle like some damn Benihana restaurant.
then there was Guru. man that cat couldn't rap to save his life. he was so uninspiring in his rap and delivery. plus herbie hancock's smile was reflecting off the lights. he was playing with Guru.
the most recent one was TTD. you'll have to see the thread i put up about that one.

Why in the hell would u walk out on the stones?

JAMIESTARR said:

i suppose if I as in the first row I would've stayed--being out there I wasn't feeling it.

Moby -- this past August in Chicago for the Area 2 tour. went to see Bowie for the first time (who was REALLY spectacular). after that my boyfriend and i made out on the lawn for about 30 minutes and then got the fuck outta there when Moby started.

Prince @ Xenophobia -- this past summer, any time there was an abundance of God, Larry, Tina, or Musiq Soulchild

Mazarati was replaced by Billy Preston and you were disappointed??? holy hell, you lucked out!!! damn, missed opportunity for you.

me too gyrl...

Seal in 1994 I believe, at Red Rocks. The lights came on and their was no Susannah Melvoin with him so I was like "Let's go".

BILAL @ paradiso, amsterdam 2002

this dude wanted to show the audience what he was able to do with his voice; what we got was this vocal tornado. really irritating. besides that, he had the dumbest entourage possible.

Well, I'm really picky about who I see in concert, so I've never walked out of one.

But, I was at a Rick James show many, many, many years ago with my younger brother. During the Mary Jane Girls set, my brother decided it all too obscene for him and left! I laughed my ass off. LOL

You walked out of Motorhead, rock n fucking roll man! I love the band seen them loads of times, the louder the better. I've not really walked of a show but i hate to say it the worst gig i went to was Prince on the Nude tour. He played for 62 minutes..shocking..
