When I was 13 I attended the Sno-Core 2000 Tour (Puya, Mr. Bungle, Incubus and System of a Down).
When I saw Mr. Bungle, I had no idea what I was witnessing. I allowed myself to be swayed by the mass mentality that they sucked because Mike Patton (the lead singer) was talking the most profane, ****ed-up shit to the audience. I didn't realize at the time that it was just part of their show.
I didn't hear their music until I was 18. They're now one of my all-time favorite bands.
This is kind of the opposite of the thread, more like the music that changed my mind about the performance (although I look back on that memory with gleaming admiration).
