bands that you loved until you saw live

This is a thread about bands that sucked live so hard that you stopped listening to them.
Here is my list
- Neon Indian - I really liked their EP, and first album. I saw them live at a festival, and they sucked. But it was windy, and I gave them the benefit of the doubt....saw them live again in a venue and they still sucked. In fact, they sucked more inside.
- Sleigh bells - I was never a giant fan but the wife really liked them and I enjoyed it. Wow, that was possible the worst show I have ever seen.
- Passion Pit - same story as neon indian. First time I saw them live was at a festival and they blew chunks. Worst show of the 3 day festival by far. Then i saw them again, not at a festival and they still sucked.
- Interpol - They didn't really suck live but they were rather boring and it sounded just like the album. I still have them in light rotation.
who you got? I am sure there are a few others that I am forgetting.
One band I saw 3x and all three times were bad but I still love is pavement. Their live act just didn't hold up to the album.

I've heard this many times.
Pinback - I still enjoy their albums, but after seeing them live, I just can't put them on any upper echelon. Really pedestrian show. Judgement Day absolutely rocked Chelseas, then Pinback brought an hour and a half of boredom. It also didn't help that Rob gave me the stink eye for saying hello.

None.
I really like Smashing Pumpkins, but live they were blah, never made me stop listening to the CD's.

Red Hott Chili Peppers. Might as well have been listening to their songs on the radio. Very little innovation. And frick everything without John

I don't understand why you would stop listening to a band's studio recordings (that you love) just because they aren't very good live.
That makes no sense to me.

Tool was boring as hell the last two times I saw them. Haven't listened to them since though I still like their old stuff.

Not a band but a DJ. Paul Okenfold. Loved the perfecto label but live he was horrible.

Some times you just catch a band on a bad night...I saw the Deftones about 6 times, but one of those times, they were horrible, it just happens. Saw Joe Walsh once, he was also bad, just a flat show. And one of my biggest disappointments, STP. I was pumped to see them once years ago, but their show just didn't move me. Again, it happens, but not enough where I would stop listening to the bands.

Many memories have been posted about the great New Orleans Pop Festival (actually in Prairieville) and the great music lineup. But as great as it was, can I tell you Jefferson Airplane totally sucked that night they played. Worst act at the event.

Shooter frickin' Jennings.
Played a festival I was part of the management team of. I actually pushed to book him. Dude didn't play but 3 of the songs that made him popular and this was after his 40 minute long spaceman set of new material that he now plays and it's steadily dropping him off the map. That shite killed the bar sales and the energy of the night and dicked over the next act. We had to run a local band from the side stage for a 25 minute warmup before the headline act to liven the crowd back up and get people dancing and chugging.
Jamey Johnson is also a terrible live act. Still to this day one of the most fun, entertaining shows I've been to was Insane Clown Posse. Don't really care for the music but they're a fun show.

Never saw them live, but every show I have seen or listened to on bootleg is terrible.
For being so damn good in the studio it is obvious they tried to suck as bad as possible live.

The Shins
It didn't really surprise me, because a lot of their appeal is really tasteful studio production, but combine that with a new drummer and the live versions just carry no weight.
