I watched the making of the Black Album last night...God wtf happened to Metallica. Seriously? How do you go from making freakin amazing tones on the guitar, metal sounds and then make that some kind of monster album bullchit of an album. It just boggles my mind how a band loses its touch that much.

Name a band that hasn't gone downhill overtime. The better the band the faster the downhill IMO. Pretty much the first few years are almost always better to me. After that bands tend to get more mainstream and no longer as passionate about their recordings or more importantly how they play live. I can hardly think of an example of otherwise. IMO Metallica was done more than 10 years ago.

Pink Floyd instantly popped into my head. That band has never gone downhill.....They could easily sell out a stadium if they asked 500 dollars for nosebleed tickets. Now they didn't start out to well with that stuff like Metal, piper at the gates of dawn, ya know stuff like that but once Dark side of the moon hit from there on afterwards they were amazing.

Tool and Coldplay could also be considered amazing groups that haven't gone down hill, YET...I mean they could easily b/c tool has only been around for 15 years were as coldplay has only been out for 6 or 7 years mainstream wise. That's probably one of the reasons I Love Pink Floyd, tool, and coldplay so much they are very musically talented and show no signs of disappointing there fans. I write all this as Battery is going on in the background :lildevil::rockwoot: :rockwoot:

I disagree. Pink Floyd is a great example. Their first few albums were great and their new ones suck. Just because they sell out a concert means jack crap. Tool I also think was much more talented originally than they are now. I saw them live 5 or 6 times, but the last time it just wasn't anywhere near the musician show that the original ones were. There was more flash but less meat. The last time I saw them was in 1995 or 1996.

I have never heard of Coldplay...

Again, I am not speaking of disappointing fans but becoming crap musicians overtime. Jam bands turning into top 40 makes me friggin' puke.

The only genre that you can disagree with my statement on would be jazz. Conveniently it isn't mainstream and the musicians don't typically get ruined by money since they never really get paid. To all others it holds.

Listen to WYWH or Meddle and then listen to Momentary Lapse of Reason...:D

Piper's an amazing album, but it's like early Moody Blues - it has to grow on you, and since it's such a period piece you can't seperate it from the time it was recorded.

I hate to say it Aaron, but U2 is about as good of an example as you can get for that theory :P

Exactly. Even though I would say that in 75 with WYWH they were already way down hill. Ummagumma FTW.

Speaking of Pink Floyd,

ever listen to Atom Heart Mother sober?

I am not sure I can place a peak album on PF, many will say the wall, others will say Live at Pompey, sometimes I feel it is Dark Side.

Jim, I have to say that I know people feel U2 has lost what they used to be. But, "All That you Can't leave behind" is one of their best albums. Yes Pop got really far away from what they did best, ie. Joshua Tree/Actung Baby/ Live at Red Rocks / Rattle and Hum / Boy / War/ Under a Blood red sky etc....

The Wall and Dark Side are pop, not anywhere near the peak. And yes, I've heard AHM sober :) Eff'd to.

Got the maggies set up and all I can say is WOW.

The clarity is amazing. My parents want me to look for a set for them now after hearing these.

I was using my mp3 player for a little bit then after a couple songs I said the hell with this and dug out the CD player and found some CD's. There is just a huge difference.

I'm amazed, impressed, and in love with them. :D:D
