their lead singer makes a stupid show on mtv instead of making a new studio album with his origanal band mates. (cough Ozzy cough.)

28. They have changed their lineup so much, that there are no
more founding members remaining.

29. The new version of said lineup is so out of touch with the
essence of the original band that they start playing Hootie...
songs at concerts (Frankie Goes To Hollywood).

30. They put "Revisted" in their name and have nothing to do with the person who wrote the majority, if not all, of their good stuff.

31. Michael Jackson owns all of the rights to your songs.

 

[fyrfytrhoges]

they release a greatest hits package, but also include a " brand new song"

then we all realize the only reason they did that was because thats all they have written in years!!!!!

32. They play at the Super Bowl with Britney Spears and N'Sync.

34. Their lead singer commits suicide.

36. Or longer: Kraftwerk. And yes, they are technically still together.

37. Their album is considered the most anticipated album for years, and it never appears. Instead, one important member starts touring with Primal Scream, and releases one track as Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine).

38. If the lead singer hangs himself

39. You hear their songs advertising Cadillac, Wrangler, or Microsoft. (I'm giving Bob Seger a break, he said he did it to help Detroit and I belive him)

 

[Mr.PD]

They put out a new album, do a tour with a stand in drummer to promote it and only use two songs from the new album on the tour. The rest of the new album sucks too much to sing in public.

Motley Crue

41.

The band's straight-ahead R & B songs go stale, and after much in-fighting, they quit except for the replacement guitarist, who then renames the group: The *New* Yardbirds. Oh, that actually went well didn't it?
