Band/Singer that should retire

[ChaosTheory]

Eminem's still great. A serious Eminem is actually a bit better.

Outside of his music, I thought his cameo as himself in Funny People was one of the funniest part of that movie.

I didn't even know he was gonna be in it til I saw it at the theater.  Him yelling at Ray Romano was hilarious.

For me, that scene made the whole movie.

I agree about Metallica, the Stones, Aerosmith & Ozzy.  Great artists once, but, damn......

The Cure  - same as above
U2 - I know they're still fairly popular but the last three albums have been watered down retreads of ACHTUNG BABY
Stone Temple Pilots - their reunion is a joke, they've already cancelled half their tour
I also wish Morissey would just go away.

U2- Never quite grasped their popularity.

I didn't really get into U2 until their popularity fell off.

The Smiths.   They shoulda retired before they made any albums.  :P  At least the songs I've heard have been (to my tastes) insanely annoying.    "How Soon is Now" played as I was driving home.  Gaaaah!

Forgive me if they're your favorite band or anything, dear reader..

Rolling Stones

I mean come on, Bill hicks was making jokes about the fact Keith Richards was still alive in the 1980's. In fact are any of them still really alive? or have they been cunningly replaced with remote controlled waxwork replicas, forever destined to be half way through a worldwide stadium tour in a city near you for the rest of eternity... they were releasing albums before 99% of us on here were born, and -no offence- this is probably the messageboard with the oldest average user age I've ever posted on  

Actually-as a touring band-they are retired. There last tour was the Bigger Bang tour in 2007. Their last studio album of original songs was in 2005.

Guns n Roses-I mean-c'mon. They band calling themselves Guns n Roses played Rock in Rio on the 2nd of this month. Jerk off Axl kept fans sitting in the rain for an hour and a half  late. Whatta shmuck.
Plus...they sound like s**t. Whatta shame.

Sad.

Note the guitar player f**king up because he's too busy f**king around with the stupid Star Wars helmut instead of concentrating on his work.
Whatta joke.

^ I never liked Axl either.

^ Saw some footage of "Guns N' Roses" at the Reading festival (I think) live on the BBC earlier in the year. They were dreadful...

hah, maybe that could be a different thread. 'Faded ex-rockstars that now look just like comedy characters, but not on purpose'...no that's too long...

I'm a huge Smiths fan, but I think Morrisy should stop, as his solo material clearly is not strong enough he has to result to playing Smiths songs at his gigs.

Also I really like Marilyn Manson, but again think he should have stopped just before Eat Me, Drink Me.

[HappyGilmore]

Aerosmith--Big, big fan.  But, they've "been working" on this new album since around 2003, and it's still not done.  They've had time to tour, do a video game, tour again, do some solo stuff, do American Idol, fight each other, cry, fire the singer, threaten lawsuits to each other, then reconcile.  Yet, even with songs written and singer Steven Tyler not busy with American Idol right now, they're not recording, apparently. 

I'm a big fan, but they should just give it up.  They've had a good career.  And if this album isn't that good, well, eh.

That Nickelback douche should retire or die, either one works for me.

[lester1/2jr]

U2 and their music should be retired from being played in public places.

Be afraid....be very afraid.
