Line 42:
*** The death of Cliff Burton/introduction of Jason Newsted is often cited as the cause of these problems. Whilst unfair on Newsted, since replacing him with Rob Trujillo, they have improved, though that may simply be coincidence.
*** The Napster suit in 2000 perpetuated this for many, as even the people Metallica was (supposedly) pandering to were disgusted with the band afterwards.
*** Many fans include the "Black Album" as well, particularly for [[
*** There's often a tendency among fans to want ''every album'' by that band to sound the same, and when somebody like Kirk Hammett has an adventurous streak and wants to experiment with sound, it alienates part of the fan base. This also happened to [[Motorhead (Music)|Motorhead]] when Brian Robertson of [[Thin Lizzy]] joined them for ''Another Perfect Day''. Robertson's insistence on wearing disco shorts and refusal to play older Motorhead songs didn't help his case any, but the songwriting on that album pretty much defines well-written metal of the early 1980s.
** For [[Helloween (Music)|Helloween]], it was the period between Kai Hansen's departure (after ''Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt. 2'') and Andi Deris's arrival (before ''Master of the Rings''). This period comprises the Michael Kiske-fronted albums ''Pink Bubbles Go Ape'' and ''Chameleon'', which left the band near dissolution.
Line 69:
* [[Tokio Hotel (Music)|Tokio Hotel]] with the Humanoid Album. Arguably, that is. The band both lost and gained fans with this album, though it seems to be more on the lost side.
* [[KMFDM (Music)|KMFDM]] tried to break away from its long history by switching record labels and changing their name to MDFMK. While the "new" band's album was well received, fans were incensed that they refused to play any of their old songs in concert. The band relented, going back to their old name and playing selections from their entire catalog.
* Two come to mind with [[Elton John]]: 1977-1982, when his lyricist Bernie Taupin had little or no influence on the albums of that period, his sales slowed, he dabbled in [[Deader Than Disco|disco]] for an album just as the style grew out of fashion, and his albums in general were of an inconsistent quality, and 1985-1990, where Taupin was more involved, but Elton's music became overly produced and synth-heavy, much of the classic 1970's Elton John Band who backed him in his 1983-84 period were fired and replaced by session musicians, and Elton's [[Sex, Drugs and Rock And Roll|drug and alcohol habits]], bulimia and [[Anything That Moves|reckless love life]] were taking a toll on him.
