Good Then, Bad Now (metal, punk, metallica, Eminem, The Cure)

What bands/artists do you think used to be good, but are awful now?
Joint top of my list has to be Eminem and Green Day
Eminem because he got dre to sign that fat, untalented waste of space 50, now biggie smalls, one of my favourite rappers(one of the only ones that I like) was fat but at least he had talent, 50 doesn't.
Green Day because they've went too corporate and have got poppier with each new album, until with american idiot they're almost pure pop, hardly any punk at all.

I wouldnt put Eminem on that list.. But meh, thats just me. Im not even gonna start on the Green Day thing, its just a lost cause to even try anymore.

I'd choose Lostprophets. I loved their first album, dont like the new one anywhere near as much.

anything after marshall mathers LP is just a crappy duplicated version of his old rhymes, with no originality or creativity....

Eminem is classic no matter what way you look at it.
GD on the other hand, well, they're music style has changed, so whether that is a good/bad thing....discretionary I guess.....

Green day and Metallica.

I love the old stuff from both of them.

Green Day, Metallica, Modest Mouse, NIN(too many riffs), and The Cure....

Download "Hellbound" and I think you'll realize how much more versatile and creative he was then, compared to now.
