| Top 5 Bands That Decided To Stop Being Awesome And Start Sucking Ass Butter
This is a list of bands that were awesome in the past, but for reasons unknown decided to start sucking gorilla balls. | | 5 |  | At The Gates
Slaughter of the Soul
The Gothenburg band gained critical and commercial acclaim with "Slaughter of the Soul." What's the next logical step after creating a "Landmark" album? Why, quit the band, of course! Inspiring Dave Chappelle even before he was famous, the Björler brothers formed "The Haunted" after leaving At the Gates. The Haunted is a Groove / Melodeath band, and a pretty lame one at that. | | 4 |  | In Flames
Reroute to Remain
At least At the Gates quit while they were ahead. After deciding to drastically change their musical style toward an alternative metal sound, the band pissed off thousands of metal fans as quickly as the guy who thought it'd be a good idea to put Bring Me the Horizon on Megadeth's Gigantour bill. Though they tried to blend the old with the new with "A Sense of Purpose", it's nowhere near as good as their older stuff. | | 3 |  | Guns N' Roses
Chinese Democracy
Guns N' Roses were good, but because Axl Rose is a douche, and all the band members did too many drugs, Velvet Revolver has more Guns N' Roses members than the original band. Not much of a fan of this band, but I couldn't think of another band that fit this spot. | | 2 |  | Metallica
Load
Load of Diarrhea. Some people have said Metallica's "Load" isn't a bad album, but people weren't expecting a metal band to produce a hard rock/blues album. I haven't listened to the whole album, but it can't be as good as their first four. There's no denying that. | | 1 |  | Sepultura
Roots
The kings of Thrash shot themselves in the foot with this one. While Chaos AD was a drastic step in the Groove direction, their change to Alternative Metal was akin to an elephant falling down a flight of stairs into a China shop right as a volcano erupted inside the store: it wasn't good. Everything about this album licked my ass, and when a band that gave the world an aural orgasm with "Beneath the Remains" decides to take their guitars and flush them down the toilet, it makes me want to not buy anything after "Arise." The band died after Max Cavalera left, they just didn't know it. | |

04.07.10 | these were all good bands, until they decided to suck | TheSpirit
04.07.10 | 5 is overrated anyway | FadeToBlack
04.07.10 | Chaos AD was great, but they really fucked up with Roots | Yeahtoast
04.07.10 | 2 and 3 needed this | Inveigh
04.07.10 | Yeah, Roots sucks compared to everything before it. But it's still better than pretty much everything after it.
Load rules dude, get with the program.
GnR bores the shit out of me outside of a few songs on Appetite.
Reroute has some good tunes, as does Come Clarity, but yeah, Clayman was the last great album by them.
C'mon, The Haunted are thrash, not groove/melodeath. Alright, they're all of the above. But they still have some redeeming qualities, and a few good albums. | luci
04.07.10 | add Darkthrone to the list | TheSpirit
04.07.10 | Darkthrone started out amazing, had a rocky mid period, but are still really good with their crusty stuff. | Zipzop5565
04.07.10 | I didn't like Chaos AD
| Zipzop5565
04.07.10 | Not a black metal kind of person
| FadeToBlack
04.07.10 | The Cult Is Alive is pretty good, and apparently Darkthrone's newest one is great too so... | drasticaction74
04.07.10 | reroute actually isn't bad. it's that piece of shit soundtrack to your escape that should burn in hell | Zipzop5565
04.07.10 | reroute blows | omgraptors
04.07.10 | gosh what is wrong with you 1 and 4 are their best albums. | Zipzop5565
04.07.10 | stop trolling you troll
| Ire
04.07.10 | 5 is overrated but still good
4 Come Clarity is great
3 always sucked. Chinese Democracy is the only decent thing they've put out.
2 And Justice For All
1i'm sorry who? | synergy
04.08.10 | Metallica had to change their sound. If they didn't, then they would have ended up like all of the other thrash bands. They have a good underground following but the general public would have stopped caring. Metallica are one of the few bands in the world that still sell a lot of albums because they took the risk and changed their sound

04.08.10 | have you actually listened to 3? its fucking amazing | Niceinvader
04.08.10 | 3 was never awesome | Zipzop5565
04.08.10 | 3 was awesome.
Appetite of Destruction. Come on. | Niceinvader
04.08.10 | nope | jesusjuice1179
04.08.10 | i think 4 have gotten better than before, there melo-death stuff was good, but I think their new stuff is even better |
