Bands that used to be good but now suck tool

Green Day
Smashing Pumpkins
AC/DC
Metallica
Black Sabbath/Ozzy
Rolling Stones (They just put out a new album in 2005, so they're still an active band)
 
I loved metallica up until they sobered up and cut their hair. Limp Bizkit actually had a decent album before they got big and fred's ego got out of control. Green day I think is still good. Their style might be different on the newer one but its still good (grossly overplayed unfortunately). Haven't really heard any of the new smashing pumpkins to be able to judge.
 
I thought this was bands that were good and now suck, not bands that were good and are now less good (see muse, NIN)

As for DCFC - Plans, it's good, so njeer!
 
The chili peppers. I once thought they were the best musical act ever. Now I think they are actually a little lame.

change of opinion isn't the same as the actual out put of the music getting worse.

while rhcp may not be quite as solid as they used to be, they don't really suck...
 
Metallica turned to failure after the Black album.
 
Absolutely not. I defy you. Tell me what's wrong with Tool... they've only gotten better.

Just because Lateralus is drenched with ropes of cum from a thousand frenzied Tool purists doesn't mean that 10,000 Days was not a masterpiece - because it was. Opiate and Undertow were Tool's two weakest albums by a long shot, and that's merely because they hadn't really developed into Tool yet.

Whaaat, I love Opiate and Undertow... Undertow moreso.
 
I used to like Tool but now 80% of the stuff after Opiate just sounds like and means nothing more than angry yelling to me.
 
I used to like Tool, but then I started to keep liking them.
 
Tool hasn't stuck around with me. Not that I think they're bad or anything. They're quite good. And yet most stuff past Aenema just never grabbed me the same way. I still hold onto all my CDs and can still appreciate the songs, but they don't get anywhere near as much play as they used to.

What? did you even read stern's first post? its just a opinion....

I agree with ennui, 10,000 days kicked ass, but I gotta say I dont listen to tool as much as I used to. As far as bands that suck now, korn is definitely one of them in my book. Sometimes I dont know if johnathan should be considered emo or not cause in so many songs he bitches constantly. After follow the leader, they died to me.
Marilyn Manson is another one. I loved mechanical animals, holy wood and antichrist superstar but eat me drink me sucks horribly and so do his live shows. His live shows used to be insanely theatrical, now all that cocaine and alcohol has ruined him. He cant hit any high notes or anything anymore, so he just mummbles through the songs like a fat coked up retard in platform shoes.:\
 
King Crimson, from real progressive rock to awful noises.
Mike Oldfield, from the wonderful Tubular Bells to electro-dance rubbish.
David Gilmour, since Waters departure from Pink Floyd he has not been able to deliver decent lyrics, neither with post-Waters Floyd nor with his own band.

I love them too. Opiate itself is a great song, and Undertow has a lot of good tracks (Undertow, Intolerance, Sober, Prison Sex) but I still view them as the weakest two albums because Tool had for the most part not developed into Tool yet.

Not to say that I haven't listened to an awful lot of Lateralus and 10,000 Days (and I went to a show on this past tour), but I agree to an extent. I still love Tool, but I don't listen to them as much as I used to. It doesn't hook me as much- although that's because I used to be seriously obsessed with Tool when I was 15 or 16.

My favorite album is Aenema, btw.
 
Linkin Park.

And somewhat A7X. Their new self titled album is great, no less, but I miss the dual wailing guitars of City of Evil :(

"Lost" has what you're looking for. I personally think the Self-titled is their best, other than "Dead God". God damn country twang.
 
The Rolling Stones - Made some good songs in the 60's and 70's, has sucked ever since.
Bob Dylan - I went to one of his concerts a couple of years ago, and it was downright terrible; he was actually booed off the stage. He can't sing worth of shit anymore, he should've stopped performing after the bike accident. Hasn't written any decent songs either in a very long time.
 
Hmm. I'd say that in the case of Bob Dylan or the Stones, they were so amazingly good to begin with that how good they are now is completely irrelevant.
 
The Stones just became outdated, they never really updated their sound, meanwhile, Dylan updated his style so much that it became total shit. Dylan went from cool folk music with a gentle guitar, to rock, to blues, to reggae-ish, and Modern Times sounded like rockabilly.

Yeah, I do have the entire self-titled album. "Lost" is good, "Almost Easy" is fantastic, but the song that really blew me away was "A Little Piece of Heaven". A story behind it (if not disturbing), and though it strays extremely far from their traditional work it is an amazing song.

Looking back on my comment, I take it back. This is no setback to them, if anything this is expanding their musical variety.

Some Girls was their last great album ..it all started going downhill with Tattoo you ..which was the best of their post 70's work but still mediocre in comparison

the Stones are one of my fave bands but I dont listen to anything by them made after 1978
 
I'm gonna throw this one out there.

Eminem.

I wouldn't listen to any of his stuff today, but there was a time when I really liked the Slim Shady LP. Yes, it was stupid, vile, obnoxious stuff. But it didn't pretend to be anything else. Want a song about killing and dumping the body of your wife? It has it! Assaulting carnivorous fat ladies? That too! It didn't hurt that whitey could rap either.

Alas, then Mr. Mathers felt he actually had to defend and rationalize his work. He had to start pretending that it was serious and that he actually had some kind of message. Eminem tries to have it both ways, where one day it's all a big joke, the next day he says he says he's expressing his real emotions. And his public antics were just embarrassing (roughing up a comedy dog puppet sure was manly). He should have stayed as a foul-mouthed but entertaining weasel instead of trying to build himself up as some hardcore thug.

I didn't like the modded voice thing they did on Lost. Critical Acclaim, Scream, Afterlife, and A Little Piece of Heaven is where it's at.

Silver chair used to be good.

Actually, though I don't like the newer Silverchair, the older Silverchair was basically the aborted teenage Australian fetus of Nirvana; the sound was near identical. Nowadays, I feel they have changed their style enough to distinguish themselves as a separate entity.

Albeit one that I can't get into, sadly.

If anyone knows who that is and/or gives a shit.
