It's become apparent to me that there is some disease circulating that makes bands that had potential to suddenly suck monumental amounts of ass. There are so many bands that started out with a clear cut style and message. Then were obviously anal probed by record
executives or realized they could now afford to be smashed out of their brains ALL the time, instead of just weekends.

I've decided to enlighten you with two examples, incase you just awoke from a coma.

Live:

Headed by a guy named Ed who's last name nobody can spell. They arrived on the scene with a piss poor first album that had a few good songs on it. Luckily the next 2 albums were cool and they had fans swimming out of their asses. People didn't seem to mind that Ed was a deranged new age hippie and had more bad haircuts than kylie minogue.
He actually even wrote songs that almost made sense and people identified them.
Then it all went horribly wrong. He decided to have hair again which lead to an old school chinese gold rush haircut.. it obviously was eating into his brain. He found some sort of pseudo"samadhi" when he had a daughter and started spouting Jesus propaganda. His balls had definitely retracted up into his ass. Then came a flood of stupid wanky songs and two albums you can really drown yourself to. He's recently been spotted doorknocking and handing out pamphlets about "truth" and the "kingdom of lord". Live's new shit is like waking up christmas morning as a child, running to see all your presents and getting punched in the face.

Silverchair:

Silverchair was an angsty young band of kids who just went nuts and smashed their instruments. Their songs were hard rock and they had more energy than they knew what to do with. Then suddenly they realized underage girls wanted to have sex with them and it went to their heads. Daniel Johns started talking like he was doped up 24/7 because he thought it was cool to make no sense and walk around in a dumbshit daze. The band suddenly became just about Daniel but they made the odd good album true to their original style. Then it went all limp wristed and faggy like the backstreet boys with electric guitars. Daniel started playing the piano and the mosh pit filled with chairs as people couldn't figure out how to mosh to "miss you love."

Their "get stuffed we'll do what we please" simple style lyrics turned to incomprehensible coke head nonsensical bullshit that dumbass teens claimed to have found some deeper meaning in but had no Idea what they were talking about. Their new stuff is ok, but it's totally on another planet and they left their original fans to rot in the gutter. Where's the loyalty?

There are many other examples but I'd rather snort chlorine than think about them anymore. Famous people think they are immortal and forget it's people that put you there. Fair enough they are mostly mindless starry eyed teens with the I.Q of an indoor potplant, but you owe it to them to give them what they want. Stick you your shit or make a new name like
Shihad did when they turned into Pacifier in a pointless attempt at undoing the shit they did as the old name which gave them the popularity of a condom machine in the vatican.

Any of you dirtbags that think these bands sell out due to a "natural evolution" of there music are wrong. Bands don't evolve they just get addicted to smack, love themselves or keep doing what they've done all along.
