Bands You Loved When You Were Younger But Can't Stand Anymore?

Not sure if anyone has any bands to add to this list. But I use to LOVE King Diamond and Mercyful Fate, but now I just can't stand King's vocals...I think he has amazing talent by the way, but his falsetto just grates on my nerves and I can't deal with it anymore. It just annoys me LOL...I use to be such a fan boy that I've seen Mercyful Fate in Concert and had every MF and King Diamond disk every made, including the more rares discs etc....... Anyway, I'm sure I'll come up with a few others, but that's the main band that comes to mind...

I can't think of any that I LOVED as such, but there are definitely some that I used to enjoy a lot more than I do now, most;y hair metal type stuff...... I was listening to a couple of old Ratt albums awhile back, and while their hits are all still great, the rest of their material is completely forgettable to me. The greatest hits album is almost all I think I need from them. Poison is another one that I was a fringe fan of back in The Day, but I tried listening to "Open Up" and aside from "Fallen Angel" that album was utter trash to my ears.

To me the album "Out Of The Cellar" is excellent from start to finish! Beside that, I pretty much agree with what you say.

Never really got into his music probably also because of his vocals.

Hammerfall is definitely on the list for me, along with a lot of other really cheesy power metal. I was a teen in 2000 so a lot of mu metal also qualifies, but I have to confess the reverse applies to Linkin Park, which I hated then but have more respect for now. I kind of started my metal fandom in prog with Queensryche and Dream Theater so if nothing else my snobby-ass taste doesn't allow for a ton of retrospective dislikes. I always picked the good shit

Ozzy Osbourne -

After Diary of a Madman I stopped buying anything he released ..... those are two great albums, but I can't listen to them or him anymore. It is a weird thing for me, I can still go back and listen to any Black Sabbath albums and I don't have a problem with it ...... yet, anytime I hear an Ozzy solo song on the radio I turn it off ..... go figure.

At some point I must have determined that his voice was not pleasing to my ears and I just woke up and stopped listening....... either that or his goofy stage presence got to me, or the constant changing of the guitarist god, who knows ..... I just know that I loved him up to the early 80s and after that it went south fast........

That's funny...I was listening to some Zakk Wylde era Ozzy the other day and while Ozzy is still a shitty singer, the riffs have always been great. I just kinda sing over Ozzy and the quality goes way up.

Ozzy forever!!!

[BC]

Ronnie was better

[GaetanL]

I love both in Black Sabbath. I also love Tony Martin.

I rather mean Ozzy's solo albums. Many have a special place in my heart. Hence Ozzy forever!!!

I can't really think of too many bands like this for me. For the most part I'm always more or less interested in particular bands over time, but there aren't any I can think of that I used to love and now hate. There are certainly bands that I used to love and couldn't listen to for a while since I was mad at them for changing style (Metallica, POS, etc) but once I got over that I still love the old good stuff. I think I'm mostly listened to pretty good bands. There are certainly some I'm not currently interested in anymore (lots of power metal, Amaranthe) but in time I might start digging them again, who knows. I don't hate them, just not currently interested.
