Musicians and Bands that Went Under the Knife

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

I'm sure most of us probably agree that most should have stopped after their third album, but what about when they undergo complete changes and transition into something else? Who are y'all familiar with that can cause a good laugh ...or cry? A few off the top of my head would be Mr. Leprechaun Douche himself, as well as my beloved Robert Van Winkle.

Not like it's a huge drastic change since they were always a more "radio friendly" Melodic Heavy Metal band, but a lot of people are surprised that Europe's first two albums are much more metallic-sounding than The Final Countdown, which John Norum famously left the band over.
If you go back to their early demos they were basically just playing what most NWOBHM bands were playing, just they were in Sweden not Great Britain. Lots of UFO influence here for sure.

 

[japetus]

Any of the In Flames "re-recorded" stuff

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Literally?

 

[marvcus]

Metallica
Pantera (got better)

 

[MadAsAHatter]

as well as my beloved Robert Van Winkle.

I liked watching his house flipping show. If I had the money for it I'd let him Ice my house.

 

[MadAsAHatter]

Pantera (got better)

Yeah,, I'd say they got much better after these albums

 

[DanTravis62]

Fuck that, pantera got much, much worse

HERPA HERPA DOOO WALK ON HOME-UH, BOY-OH, OH HELL YAW

 

[turboblues]

But then they went downhill after Cowboys from Hell.....

First thing that came to mind was TSOL. Listen to Dance with me and then Hell on Earth…yikes.
Celtic Frost also had a mid/late 80’s crisis of identity.
COC went from skate/punk/hardcore to putting out Blind. (Liked that change)

Dance with me kicks ass. TSOL really did go downhill.

All Celtic Frost kicks ass even cold lake imo

I didn't like any COC so blind was more bad

 

[glpg80]

Motley Crue

 

[7704A]

The Beatles. From ‘Love Me Do’ via ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ to ‘Helter Skelter’ in around 6 years.

The Beatles def crossed my mind. I almost forgot about this:

 

[Speeddemon]

Literally?

Lol.
If you wanna cut your weewee off and continue life as the opposite sex, that's not an easy choice to make.
And it doesn't help if you have Rob Lowe's jawline and Scott Ian's beard growth.

That is the gayest shit I've literally ever seen in my life

The irony of rainbow corporate dick riders in jackboots decrying "fascism" just gives you a great example of how fucking stupid the modern left is, jesus christ almighty

Those little fucking disco sellouts!
