You reckon? I don't know.. Bands can change their style without being considered sell-outs..
Nickelback, I'm not defending them. I don't rate their music, but they are successful. I don't know who, but someone is buying their fvcking albums..
I would say people (at least, in my circle of friends) hate Nickelback for a lot of reasons, like their style, their songs, their attitude, their crap picture frame clip, their look, the singer and his poodle haircut, being best friends with Pantera but not being heavy, haha the list goes on and on..
People wouldn't necessarily hate on them for sounding the same on every album cause the Foo Fighters are damn successful and pretty widely loved..
Bring me the Horizon got to the top by always jumping off a scene right before it dies out and wherever they end up is almost always the next big thing. Jumped from Deathcore to Postcore to Alternative Hardcore and then to basically Pop Metal on the latest album. They have continued to polarise their older fanbases but keep finding new fans every album.
Whereas bands like Foo Fighters stayed exactly where they started and honed that sound for a few decades. (Although they did just record a Bowie style dance rock album, lmao, so even they got bored of it eventually.)
Both are huge, but took different approaches. I'd say whatever keeps you getting paid is the best way to keep you making music if that's what you want to do.
New song out from Nekrogoblikon..
Taking silly comedic goblin-metal to the next level..
(If the odd stuff isn't for you Stanny, skip straight to 3:10 to get to some tasty riffs, hahaha)
Yeah, doesn't look too bad Stanny!
I think it would only be Gojira getting me to fork out for it though.. also interested to hear Punk in Drublic in its entirety..
Perhaps the low chance that Deftones might play some old stuff too.. or maybe even to see what Soulfly have been doing for the last 20 years..
