You know... maybe they sold out, replaced a member, kicked out a member, did a cheezy soundtrack tune, released an instrumental album etc.. etc..

....When the Pumpkins' keyboard player OD'ed on the Mellon Collie tour and Jimmy left the band (was kicked out). I suppose a man dying wasn't a "let down," but I was at a young enough age that I was horrified and devastated that something could happen to my favorite band.

Weezer

Rivers Cuomo sold out so much in the new in the new century. He wrote that song for that band COLD and I rmember he was recording with Limp Bizkit when Wes Borland left. That kind of freaked me out.

But that's just Rivers dissapointing me. The band dissapointed me with the Make Believe album.

Gary Numan REALLY let me down ehen he brought in female singers. Thankfully, that itch has since been scratched for Gazza and boy has the testosterone been flying out of his amps since!

The rhythm section acrimonsiously sacked, the guitars de-fanged and buried in the mix, the tempos and time signatures assigned by numerology, the lyrics utter crap, the production a travesty and the inclusion of a "rap".

he tempos and time signatures assigned by numerology

Trans is a really good album.

Search the archives for Dan Perry talking about "Domino Dancing".

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 June 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

He has the right, but I thought Jeff Lynne was kind of a wanker to still use the ELO name on a solo album in 2001.

Well, that's just the thing, y'see......it didn't.

I recall being really let down by the Lucinda Williams album after Car Wheels, which really is still one of the most meaningful records to me. The experience pretty much soured me on the female fringe-country genre as a whole.

Recently it's Built To Spill's Ancient Melodies Of The Future. That record sucks. I'm hoping they rebound, but that was a clunker if ever there was one.

Tim Taylor from Brainiac dying.

Also,

The final straw: albums that put a bullet in your love for an artist.

DM's Ultra (I like SOF&D), Smog's Supper, Cat Power's interviews, and, beyond all, AROUND THE MOTHERFU@$^ING SUN.

Jello Biafra vs, the rest of the Dead Kennedys

In the context of this thread it doesn't matter whose side you take, somebody got badly screwed.

John is OTM with Filth Pig only he misspelled Psalm 69.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 18 June 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

Shit. I meant to spell "Psalm 69" as "Jeff Buckley not paying attention during his YMCA swimming lessons".

Filth Pig, however, is a far further sink into the shitpile than Psalm 69.

DAN! Dan! DAN!

― John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 18 June 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

Filth Pig is the sound of wheels spinning in a viscuous mudslick of yawn-inspiring repetition.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 18 June 2005 05:55 (twenty years ago)

I have many...sorry.

The moment KC picked up the shotgun.
JB taking a dip in ole Miss. Screw you all, I miss him.
Soundgarden doing 'Black Hole Sun'...it was downhill from there.
Nick Oliveri getting himself kicked out of QOTSA. Dumbass.
Nick Cave suddenly putting down his bible, picking up a newspaper & deciding not to tour the US because he objects to the war in Iraq. Yes, I get it. But don't go all Geldof on me now.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 June 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

To clarify...
Psalm 69, although flawed, is infinitely better than Filth Pig. Alex's description is too accurate to expand upon.

My Jeff Buckley reference was more heartfelt than my snarkiness might imply.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 18 June 2005 06:46 (twenty years ago)

Let's hug it out.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 June 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

I wrap my virtual ultranet arms around all-y'all.

(Except for Dan, who must first admit that Filth Pig was much, much worse...)

At which point, I will hug him as well.

Thing-Fish
-- Rock Hardy (crump...), June 17th, 2005. (later)

so OTMFM that it hurts!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 18 June 2005 06:55 (twenty years ago)

The one two punch of Graffitti Bidge -- the soundtack and the film. Sure, Prine has recovered since then, but the few times I have seen him in concert, he played "The Question of U". What's up withthat?

― Randy Reiss (undeadsinatra), Saturday, 18 June 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

I met this guy once who was SO let down when he met the lead singer of one of his fav metal bands called Angel... the dude was begging for money outside a bus station in nyc.
