Breaking Up With Your Favourite Band

I have erased from memory every band I liked before the age of 15 (which was around the time I first discovered music piracy).

I had a pretty big falling out with Alice in Chains after they reformed with their new douchey singer. It hurts me a little bit inside to call them Alice In Chains without Layne Staley... more like Jerry Cantrell and Friends.

I liked a few of their old songs, could tolerate a few more, but can't stand anything else from them, particularly the commercial crap they put out with their rock star image they are attempting.

Yeah totally I feel the same way, it just isn't Alice In Chains with out Layne
Sad how fucked up he let himself get with drugs

And also yeah I don't really listen to any of those older 90's bands anymore, yeah they were good at the time, but now it's just like maybe I'll listen to a few songs by Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains or something just for nostalgia sake

Now a days there is so much new good music to discover I don't even really have time to go back and listen to that stuff
 
there are a few bands i listened to as a kid/teenager that i still enjoy, like faith no more. most of them though were pure trash. i mean i had a phase where i liked fucking nu-metal. makes my skin crawl to even think about it. however, after discovering bands like neurosis, big black and acid bath that shit was quickly erased from my hard drive and play lists.
 
Too lazy to quote thine comments right now. Buut, kenickle, I saw NIN about 3 times during 2005-06 and thought their live show was great then (and the last time Bauahaus and Peaches opened for them, so that was stupendous [aside from NIN should open for Bauahaus, imho]). I still listen to Downward Spiral, and last year acquired Pretty Hate Machine on vinyl.

Oh no, I remember Papa Roach. I agree, it takes some meddle to cop to liking them. Sorry, it just does.
Suffocation no breathing/don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding.

Shit, this one doesn't give a fuck. Defining pissed off frat douchery until Linking Park came along.

xxxyyy - maudlin drunk, alriiiiiight. Also, Big Black rules.

 
i have an absolutely great memory for trivial shit like this, and linkin park definitely came before papa roach, not that it matters.
every time i get really, really shitfaced, i find albums by such bands as (hed)pe and sevendust on my hard drive later and have no recollection of downloading or listening to them.
also, every band steve albini played in rules. back when i had a job, my morning ritual would involve bong hits, rapeman's two nuns and a pack mule on the turntable turned up to deafening volume and coffee laced with bourbon and/or scotch.
 
I`ve been a fan of NIN since I was 10 or 11(1991-1992) and I`m still a fan. I`ve caught a tour every few years from 1994 to 2009 or so. But different stokes for different folks. Speaking of,I loved the Strokes first album but after that....not so much.

On the subject of Papa Roach and others suffering with the lame make overs........what is the deal with that shitty metal make over look (like in the newer pick of P.Roach)? It`s like the only place that "look" is popular is L.A. Nobody else in the USA thinks that that style could be anything other than lame and contrived. Nikki Sixx has that look and so does Jon Bon Jovi,yuk.
 
I think the closest thing I can think of would be BT. I really enjoyed ESCM and Movement In Still Life, then when Emotional Technology came out and it was watered down pop bullshit. Then when This Binary Universe came out, I didn't know what to think. It was everything I love. Downtempo, glitchy, and experimental but it somehow seemed uninspired, like it was trying to be a BoC album and coming up short. These Hopeful Machines flopped for me because the vocals BT uses are so juvenile and stilted, like a repeat of Emotional Technology.

Overall you have a very talented producer who makes music that's a bit off the beaten path, but ultimately sounds too clean and too tryhard.
 
i had to google search 'BT' because i thought you were abbreviating like APC = A Perfect Circle but no it's just BT, impossible google search query
 
it's not that i have a big problem with NIN, and a few select songs like somewhat damaged i still like, it's just their music really doesn't affect me much anymore.
in that same phase i also really liked stabbing westward, and now hang my head in shame. it's probably the most whiny 'industrial' band ever.
 
i just went to pick up a 6 pack of high life and green day's "when i come around" was playing on the radio. i suddenly realized that we could have been great together. i turned it up and remembered all those summer nights where we flirted and hung out and then green day moved to another school district and i never saw them again. sad, missed chance. now i can't go back and get that feeling back, all the eyeliner and tight pants and all that crap, not that i care if billie joe armstrong is a bi or whatever, but too much time has passed. :(
 
I broke up with ozrics after waterfall Cities, but it was cool...we all one big happy family
 
I saw the bad brains as soul brains about 11 years ago.

HR was comatose, Darryl J was stoned-to-oblivion, Earl H was stiff, and Dr. Know seemed to be the only one up to the standard set by the monolithic 'live at the paridiso'. Fear of the big time indeed...
 
i was majorly infatuated with nirvana and hole as a young teen. eventually i realized i was kind of being embarrassing. it'll always be a part of me, though. well. nirvana more so than hole. courtney has exhausted her chances.

i saw the new aic. it was pretty depressing. jerry was smiling like a jack o lantern the whole time, though.
 
Linkin park was my favorite band when I was 12, can't stand to listen to them now. Same with other similar stuff like Disturbed, Korn, Nickelback, etc. I still like some of the stuff I listened to back then, like Metallica, Iron maiden, Led zeppelin, etc. Tool I sorta liked back then, but I appreciate their music way more now then back then, I thought their songs were too long back then and didn't listen to them that much except the ones they played on the radio.
