Default There was a time

There was a time when i thought bands like Static-X and Powerman 5000 and Adema and the what not (drowning pool) had their place. Anytime I hear about them coming out with a new CD now (like 3 days grace did) it just seems embarassing to me. Its almost as if their trying to cling onto some last remaining relic of stardom.

Am I the only one who thinks this or am I flowing with the masses here?

If what you think is that they put out the same generic crap so that their ignorant fans will throw them money then I'm with you.

Yeah I'll jump the bandwagon too. I own 2 PM5K cd's (burnt copies), both are rubbish but back in the day I liked them because they had the best song on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 music list.

Well at least back then i thought they did, not anymore though.

I agree with you. Especially on PK5, Aema, and Drowning Pool. But Static-X's newest CD is actually really good.

I'm confused about 3 Days Grace though. I had thought they broke up after one release, but then I hear they are coming to my town. Doesn't matter anyways, they aren't very good at all.

That's what bothers me is that theyre doing it for money rather than trying to make good music.

Unfortunately, a lot of bands DO have to put out music to make money, rather than through a pure to express something or to create something. For many musicians, its pretty much the only marketable skill they have, so what else can you expect them to do? Some musicians have to do it to survive, some have to do it to continue their expensive lifestyles. The simplest thing you can do to combat this is not to buy their music, I suppose. If the music's so bad, then why on earth did anybody buy it? (I'm sure a lot of people did, but why?!)

I like Static-X, and (I guess this goes for my area) there aren't that many die-hard fans of them. There is one girl I have spanish with that likes them and I'll ask her what a good song is. But PM5K is silly alone with Drowning Pool.
