Breaking Up With Your Favourite Band

Spearhead, Michael Franti.

Their first two albums were good, after that, and the soda pop commercial, and watching him berate a 'lackey' on Youtube, and then the Corona commercial....



Just, left a sour taste in my mouth.
"Name dropping Hollywood bitch." was actually more like what I was thinking.

After this?

"...sold yr soul for St ides brew, tat's alright, I like the Sprite in you..."
Shit, St. Ides is better than Corona Lite. and, he had banners posted all over his homepage.
Sad. A whore...for the whatever. Watching him berate 'lackey' on YT. and, name drop Harrelson.

So sad... he got swallowed by the industry. But hey! you can buy a Michael Franti yoga mat for 80 bucks now...

I didn't necessarily "break up" per se but I was completely disappointed with ALL songs on the new Sublime w/ Rome album besides "Panic".

Rome raped the Sublime sound with his original shit and they should have just stuck to playing covers. THeir old shit live is fucking awesome and I will pay to see them everytime they come to town as long as they're playing old shit.

Can't believe Bud and Eric agreed to record such crap in the Sublime name.
 
Also, I was surprised to hear Sugar Ray's pre-sellout material. Mean Machine and Iron Mic are kickass songs. I guess the whole album "Lemonade and Brownies" is pretty hardcore but those are the only two songs I can find from in on YT. Worth checking out, you will be shocked you're listening to Sugar Ray.

Mean Machine was on Road Rash 64 if anyone remembers...

INXS, pretty much went to shit after M.H's death.

For me, it was Tool. Even typing the word makes me want to vomit in my mouth. Sophmore year in high school, getting stoned in the parking lot, listening to Tool and A Perfect Circle. I swooned, I owned a velvet cape, I had lots of different lipstick tubes and pipes.

lol, that explains a lot.

i dont think i ever had a favorite band, if i did it was the grateful dead and i still like them. which is understandable as they play good music unlike most of the crap rock pop bullshit that people said were their favorite bands at one time. 8(
 
I remember being in early high school and seeing the video for Mean Machine on 120 Minutes on Mtv and thinking it was pretty good. Then seeing Sugar Ray a year or two later with I just wanna fly(which I did enjoy as a pop song) and thinking "Is this the same band?"

christ can you just overdose already?
 
^ I haven't liked much of anything MM since 'The Moon & Antarctica'. Ever since 'Good News...' they seemed to have migrated to Top 40-style pop/rock.
 
The biggest standout is Pearl Jam. I was with them from the beginning, but after spinning Binaural, I just called it quits. In fact, it ultimately led me to toss their entire catalog barring Vitalogy.

Tool has been and always will be boss (not so much APC, but I do like some Puscifer).
 
they way i look at it...if you liked tools earlier stuff,then just listen to those albums,dont shun the band for what they are now,remember them for what they once were. I have many bands than i dont like anymore because they sold out or lost talent,and got old. But they are still some of my favorite bands.....

^ You ought to go listen to Good News and We Were Dead again. Each album has a list of songs that I don't like, but both of them have decent stuff too.

I agree, but I don't spend much time listening to music I only think is decent. Their earlier stuff had a lot of personality that I found lacking in their later efforts.

So you're saying 10,000 Days and Lateralus were not as good as Undertow and Ænima?
I think it's all pretty good, but they're new stuff, well if you wanna call it new, is still fucking awesome

I think I broke up with Tool a couple years ago when I see then live for like the 3rd time
It's exceptional rock but gets a tad boring after a while I guess

I'll still listen to some tracks occasionally like The Flood, Reflection, 4°, and Rosetta Stone but I don't really listen to there full albums at all anymore
 
no i guess tool was the wrong band to use as an example all of tool is great.

but say like old smashing pumpkins vs new. Dont hate them because of the new stuff. Love them because of the old
