Improvement?
Music evolves and changes with the times, so it's understandable when an artist/band does the same. But it's not always an improvement. Most of these artists/bands are still going strong, so somebody likes the changes. Me? Not usually. (I'm just going to point out that although this thread is über long, there is obviously no need to watch every video. I just added them for the comparison. )

Ok, Audioslave had some decent songs... but I can't handle Chris Cornell produced by Timbaland.

Ok... I'm going to stop before it gets out of control (because I can think of plenty more). But please, share yours with me.

But this thread is interesting.
If my video thing would work, I would gladly share.
You can just write the band names and songs and I can look up the ones I don't know.

AFI is my favorite band. They're amazing.
I LIKE Blaqk Audio, but it's not the same. Thank Jeezuhs that they didn't break up to make it happen, but this song still gets me hot.
Wouldn't Guns N Roses be the ultimate example of change?
You know who's still the same after all these years? ZZ Fuckin' Top! That's who!
Chenoa....I would have gone a little further back with the Soundgarden reference. Black Hole Sun was a total SHITLOG of a song. They even admit it was a shitlog. However, I know what you meant. Check out their first album....It was like Chocolate silk pie and now....they feed us shitlogs.

True story!
This video was from this year:
I feel like Soundgarden peaked with Badmotorfinger... And then forgot what kind of music they liked to listen to. They started playing to their sales instead of their souls.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Which is better? you decide

SOAD, for sure. That Empty Walls song is pretty good, but nowhere near the caliber of SOAD!
Agreed. Though it's much different, I like Serj's album almost as much as the rest. Almost. SOAD forever!

Most definitely. And that man can't keep a concert date to save his life.

I would have included the list of those types of bands, but well... yeah. Looooooonng...

I'm still laughing about that term...
And yes, I should have gone further back, I just went with one I knew them immediately from.

I agree with you both. I'm pretty sure none of the band members can top System of a Down on their own. I do miss them... *sigh*

Sorry Z, didn't mean to skip over you like that. I haven't really listened to AFI too much, but I can see a lot of change happening there. And songs that get you hot are certainly keepers, right?

Oh, I think They'll be back soon, Chenoa. I spoke with John dolmayan's nephew over youtube, yes it was him, and he said that they have already recorded a few instrumental tracks and once serj gets back from touring he'll go record. He said the album will be called Disease and should be expected around november this year.

I just wet myself...

Haha, I love how you show up just in time for that comment.
