On watching your idols fade

I'm not huge into music but I have enjoyed the antics of certain rock and roll personalities. In recent years though it seems like the ones I like have been on a downward spiral due to drugs and age. It's been dissapointing and I'm trying to listen to there older stuff but was interested if anyone else has annecdotes from this happening to them.

Does anyone have any stories about seeing there favorite musicians lose their luster or move past there prime?

Pic related is the musician I'm talking about but figured I needed a pic.

Did he stop using conditioner?

I saw Brian Wilson a few years ago and it was just sad, you could tell his heart wasn’t into it and he mentally just seemed in a bad place. I really hope he’s still touring because he wants to and not because people are pushing him into it.

Robert Smith is 60 years old you fucking retard. Of course he doesn't look as good as the pic on his left where he's young.

he should've cut the drugs, had a healthier diet and exercised.

JUST

Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, NIN - all sucked after Y2K.

Radiohead is the ohly band from that era that consistently puts out quality content to this day.

don't know what you're talking about user

Nick Cave has literally always looked fucked

guys like Kurt Cobain had the right idea to kill themselves when they were young. you go out on top and never do the most uncool thing you can do as a rock star.... GET OLD!

fun fact, my dad went to a Manson concert not too long ago. He said it was one, if not the worst concert he'd ever been to. He said the music sounded like shit, and when he and his buddy managed to get right in front, he had a moment of realization of "why am I still here?" and left.

smart man

Performing is sort of therapeutic for him and it helps him forget his inner demons.

did smith use drugs? i always assumed he was a heavy-drinker, but nothing harder than that.

I saw John Maus two months ago and you can tell something was off and has been off since his brother passed away. He ended the show on And Heaven Turned To Her Weeping and walked off in tears. Hurts to see him like that and I really hope hes hanging in there.

he spent most of 1983 absolutely out of his mind on acid. listen to blue sunshine by the glove if you haven't. he also got into it again while he was writing the songs for disintegration

im just happy robert smith didnt come out as trans like another one of my favs from the 80s.

teasing your hair that much every day will damage it badly so just imagine doing it every day of your life for 40 years

im just waiting for him or trent to go full sjw

Thanks for the info, user, much obliged.

Guess he got rid of his Throbbing Gristle? (I'll see myself out...)

I would hope that Manson and Reznor both recognize that SJW's are the godless heirs of the churchlady types that hounded them in their heyday.

Nin made one good album in the 2000's, and all the ones in the 2010's were good

Bump

manson is cashing in alice cooper style but trent is nearly full basedboy

i have to admit, ghosts was alright

Time hasn't completely destroyed him yet.
