Bands that went from awesome to awful
Let's reminisce about bands that were fucking awesome, then over the course of time went to shit.
Exhibit 1 Eighteen Visions [I]The Psychotic Thought That Satan Gave to Jesus[/I] circa '98-99 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54-mJtUgPEU[/url] [i]Tower of Snakes[/i] circa '04 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcP_t6G9WFg[/url] [i]Tonightless[/i] circa '06 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mksGK1NbUco&feature=fvwrel[/url] Now you can see how they went from a super fucking heavy brutal hardcore band to scenie weenies who weren't ALL THAT BAD to ripping off bad music that were essentially recycled Stone Temple Pilots riffs. |
Architects went from really badass tech metalcore to a c-rate Alexisonfire rip-off in a couple of years:
[i]In The Desert[/i] 2006 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HEUBVgq8ds[/url] [i]Buried At Sea[/i] 2007 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFl8-ecBvcQ[/url] [i]Learn To Live[/i] 2011 (Alexisonfire rip off stuff) [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTG_oc3o_w[/url] |
exhibit 2
Comeback Kid went from kind of youth crew-y influenced melodic hardcore to formulaic boredom. [i]Lorelai[/i] circa '03 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xua_jWI2syY&feature=related[/url] [i]Broadcasting[/i] circa '06 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP1UZ0GC2Ck&feature=related[/url] |
Probably the biggest let down ever.
|
cbk? yeah... that band meant a lot to me and a lot of my friends growing up, and they just kind of ran out of steam.
Exhibit 3 Earth Crisis were the torch bearers of vegan straight edge hardcore, which was like the scene metalcore of the mid-90s due to it's popularity (ExC made it all the way to CNN due to their politics), but decided to do like a good amount of bands at the time and give nu-metal a try, and well it was a let down. [i]Gomorrah's Season Ends[/i] circa '96 (we all know how sick Firestorm is so I figured I'd give another example by them since I know a lot of people on here only know them for that song) [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDbsdD6SdJw[/url] [i]Slither[/i] circa '00 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ4fumhF38A[/url] |
I was like, stoked to fucking appalled in the span of a couple of years.

Was just listening to it, so fucking good. |
[QUOTE=whiteminority;18772735]exhibit 2
Comeback Kid went from kind of youth crew-y influenced melodic hardcore to formulaic boredom. [/QUOTE] Symptoms & Cures is a return to form imo |
comeback kid without scott wade is just figure four only secular
but that still sucks |
Slayer- Listen to Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood and then try listening to their last couple
Morbid Angel- last album was just fucking horrible |
slayer, isn't shit now. world painted blood and christ illusion are still solid albums for a band going on 30 years old.
|
My Chemical Romance
Weezer The Get Up Kids Jimmy Eat World The Juliana Theory Placebo HIM and idk a million bands |
Weezer always sucked. That's the point of Weezer.
AFI after Sing The Sorrow sucked. Most people didn't even like that, but I did. |
weezer's first 2 albums are great dumbass
|
no warning

Cryptopsy.
|
only AFI i'll ever listen to now is black sails, drowning, all hallows and maybe a couple of songs from their earlier albums (shut your mouth has some cool tracks). used to enjoy sing the sorrow but cannot listen to it anymore, everything after it was awful

[QUOTE=ForgiverForgetter;18773456]Cryptopsy.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=geddylee2;18773237]weezer's first 2 albums are great dumbass[/QUOTE]
this is correct. |
i think that Sepultura and From Autumn to Ashes fall under this too. i'll do exhibits on them momentarily.
|
obv Metallica.
Blacklisted suffers the same syndrome as Comeback Kid. |
blacklisted the first time i saw them was one of the most real hardcore experiences of my life, and last time i saw them i bailed early to go smoke a cig.
|
i never liked blacklisted :cool:
|
when you heat them HK? first time i saw them was on the ...And the Beat Goes On tour after the "breakup" and they still played all old shit.
|
i back the shit out of sounding the seventh trumpet but avenged sevenfold obviously sucks now
a day in black and white released that amazing ep and then put out some real shitty boring album thursday fell off pretty hard |
thursday released their best album in Common Existence!
