This was inspired by goatboy's thread on Metallica turning to suck. Just list the band that were once good but now suck, and the reason why. I'll start:

The Bluetones - listen to that new single and you'll see why.

Next.

LOL! Anyway, I think that Limp Bizkit have gone downhill terribly. I've heard a lot of what was on their album, and it sounds a lot better than the p***-poor hash job remix that is Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavoured Water. It's basically all hip-hop crap by Method Man and DMX, with a few rock songs scattered around the edges. If I want a hip-hop CD, I'll buy one. The CD is under the Rock section, therefore add two and two together and you have an answer...

:D

Rollin' was one of the few good tracks from this album, but was totally tarnished when non-Rock fans started listening to it and it was labelled 'pop'. Rock-pop is a no-no: look at Placebo. Placebo were labelled brit pop after their 'Special K' single, but they deserve better. With songs like 'Brick Shithouse' I find it difficult how they can be Brit Pop. Back to the point, when Wez Borland left, it was over. Their last decent single had been released ('Boiler') and Wez Borland left the group to concentrate on 'solo' work (which I find somewhat difficult, as he's a guitarist).

Anyway, LB's time to shine has to be over now. It was good whilst it was Rock, but that terrible transition to Pop signalled the begginning of the end, to me anyway.

I'm glad they're gone, you can only listen to Fred Durst's high-pitched voice for so long before you begin to wonder if you're doing permanent damage to yourself. However, his cover of George Micheal's 'Faith' just bloody rules!

Minor Threat once rocked...

They don't anymore... (probably due to the fact they split up bloomin AGES ago...)

Their discography CD is still essential though...

I'll say Limp Bizkit.
Their first 2 albums were brilliant!! And if you like anything Limp you'll love them - especially the first one 3 Dollar Bill, Yall$! Very little of that trashy, popular rap and hip-hop stuff like what you hear on Chocolate Starfish.
They also now suck cuz they've lost Wes Borland, and I think Fred Durst should just give it up!
They're finnished, and they'll never replace him!

I saw them at their best '93 at the anti Nazi League gig in brixton - came on to 'Repeat'.

And again in '93 at Cardiff Uni - one of the first camoflage/army gigs they did...

Oh yeah and Reading '95 just after Richey went awol - they're first gig as 3.. they played Pennyroyal Tea and it was fantastic.

Have seen them more times than I can remember now (probably in the 20's) and they have become progressively worse..

Aint seen them since the Manic Millennium actually.

Beat me to it... er them. (Manics)

First four albums were amazing... and Everything Must Go is my favourite after The Holy Bible... but alas Nicky Wire starts writing about all this boring crap and not good political stuff and goes on about hoovering.

James Dean Bradfield still rocks even if he's fat, Sean Moore just hits things.

Masses was a f.cking excellent single, but the last two albums were awful.

Shame, they were the best in the world. Wish I wasn't so young when they were at their best.
