do you actually LISTEN to MUSIC ? or just bullshit noise ?
I think it's just hard to be all angsty and dark once you don't have to worry about how you're going to keep the lights on anymore. Look at how much bands like Metallica & Megadeth have changed, or Stained to use someone newer.
This band I used to get down with called As Cities Burn went from distortion and screaming on their first album to nothing but stuff that would put you half to sleep on their third. That's life, no?
I think the only way you can keep it that hard is if your music doesn't really mean anything anyway. Korn's stuff is still pretty heavy because they don't really talk about too much, not that I listen to them now, but in passing anyway. Same with a lot of mainstream rap staying "hard." They were just throwing out fake lyrics about slinging weight and shooting people up, so when it's fake to begin with it's not hard to do it again and again when it's just about the money,.
