Most certainly yes. That guy is bat shit crazy
I think it's different for artists like Michael Jackson who don't write their own stuff, vs. U2 or metallica who do.

a friend just posed this question to me: are there any musicans or bands that you really respect/enjoy the early work of, but think they totally lost it, sold out, just had horrible music later in their career? |

My picks.. Metallica (should have stopped when Burton died) Megadeth (Musically, Mustaine was so much better when he was a drug addict! Sad, but true...) Voivod (they took Metallica's rejected bass player!) |

I also vote Metallica. Others Korn (First album was awesome, second album was okay, it was downhill from there) The Smashing Pumpkins This is different, but I loved At The Drive In, I have never been a fan of The Mars Volta. |

The dude just does what he feels like doing. However Metallica, U2... Personally for me it's Radiohead...I know I'll probably catch all sorts of hell for that...and i still love them...but their past 3 cd's have really just done nothing for me. I just dont think that they care any more to be honest. When you are young and angry and such, inspiration comes a little easier. Plus it probably doesnt help when you've been working with the same people for 20 years

In my mind At The Drive In was really just starting to catch fire, Relationship of Command is one of my favorite albums. I also LOVE Deloused, however I do think that every record since then has been, well, mostly 45 minutes of random noises, and 15 minutes of music

Radiohead? Blasphemy! I think MOST bands if not all lose it at some point. Inevitably we tend to hold onto the good memories. I think the question should be rephrased...What bands HAVEN't lost it. Fugazi still holds up for me. |

David Bowie still fuxxin rules hard! 'Im afraid of americans' is a great piece of work from the 90s. also, Labyrinth was a very cool movie, I think he fit perfectly in it and I even like the soundtrack. all that on top of the obvious amazing jim henson puppet work. Bowie still has it, his sense, his musical integrity and pocketloads of cash. he is the bees knees. |

A few off the top of my head: Red Hot Chili Peppers - loved the early stuff through "Blood Sugar...", though now that one is annoying, but I still enjoy the first 4. Metallica - duh Beck - anything after he started taking himself seriously (post-"Mellow Gold") sucks, IMO Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Snoop Dogg - he was great from the "187" single through his 2nd album Actually, most rappers are only good for a few albums then run out of things to say. |
