fraroc Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If there is one thing that I honestly CANNOT stand and it pisses me off SO much is fans who turn their back on their favorite band because of these reasons. A. It's not the original band anymore B. The lead singer doesn't sound the same as he did 30 years ago. How the HELL can you possible classify yourself as a fan of whatever band if you're just going to complain about stuff that obviously comes with the package with older bands? A true fan stands by their band and their bands history, good or bad. And if you're going to sit there and say stuff like "David Lee Roth is a horrible singer, I don't like VH anymore." or "Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer aren't real members of KISS and they suck now." Then guess what, you obviously don't support those bands anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 OP, I agree with your post, but KISS does suck now. Sorry, lifelong KISS fan here, but it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Kiss have always sucked. Roth cant sing live any more but it doesnt change the power of the original 6 albums fhey recorded with him. Marilion is an example of a band that changed singers and they remained elatively consistent. I still beleive the albums they recorded with Fish are all around better albums but they are still a great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well KISS always sucked so we have no argument there... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Nothing wrong about loving a band in a certain incarnation and then not liking them as they evolve. You're not a Queen fan unless you love the Paul Rogers line-up? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Kiss (1974 1982) is excellent... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I might not like the direction a band has chosen, but that doesn't affect the respect I have for the musicians who created music I love so much.Yes, Rush and Fleetwood Mac come to mind. My dislike of certain eras of each does not affect the love I have for the band, or their best work. As for aging vocals, I cannot stand the whinging either. People grow old, bodies change, but the passion need not die, and neither will my loyalty. Edited March 22, 2015 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 There's some non-Cherone VH I like. I don't think it makes me any less of a fan to think the DLR and Sammy editions don't quite measure up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I LOVE KANSAS. But post-Monolith that took a nosedive and went from sky high to six feet under. Still, a top ten band based on that amazing seventies run. Rush, after Presto the band were rarely great. Still top five. Yes. After GFTO, possibly Tormato, they changed, with some gems but nothing to match that seventies run for me. Still top ten. Being a fan doesn't mean you have to love everything a band does. Sure, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish and Alter Bridge have yet to step a foot wrong, but these sort of bands are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I don't lose much sleep over things like this. I like what I like. I can have a critical point of view, but that doesn't mean that I think of myself as critical, per se. There are a couple of Rush albums I don't like very much, but the reasons I don't like them don't have anything to do with Geddy's voice. I've never liked Kiss, so no flip-flopping is possible there. No one needs to have reasons to defend themselves for liking what they like; that's all I mean. Edited March 22, 2015 by Blue J 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I started loving them in 1966 and still love them now. I do have my favorites ( albums/guitar players) though. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/tongue9-1.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na na na Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I like what I like, and I sure don't feel like I need to be loyal to anyone out there. There are a few bands/artist out there....I really like their complete catalog, but for most bands/artists I only like a fraction of their catalog....and that's fine by me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
