I'd say Amon Amarth has to be one for me. I remember getting into melo-death when I was about 15 or 16, and just fell in love with their stuff. Spent so many hours learning the riffs and lyrics from Twilight of the Thunder God. But it all started to become very paint by numbers as time went on to the point where I almost never listen to them now. I saw them live at a festival earlier this year, and that was fun, don't get me wrong, but they're almost never in my rotation anymore.

Understandable picks and I agree on a lot of those. Especially Slipknot who I loved when I was in my teens but the older I got the less their music did anything for me and at this point, I'll willingly revisit Limp Bizkit's albums over Slipknot's.

Killswitch Engage got me into heavy music. I don’t really listen to them anymore but I still appreciate them being a gateway band and still look back fondly on the run they had from Alive or Just Breathing through As Daylight Dies.

Incubus from 97’-06’ was MASTERFUL

NIN was my favorite band from 2001-2006-ish. My parents took me to see them twice when they came back for the With Teeth tour in 2005. I traded NIN in for Skinny Puppy basically (prefer SP still).

Incubus is probably number 1 for me. Make Yourself changed my life. SCIENCE was absolutely insane. Morning View reaffirmed that Incubus was one of the coolest bands around.

Change is the one great constant in life. Things that meant the world to you in high school will be nothing to you in your twenties. Happens again in your thirties & so on. Everything from your favorite foods, your haircuts, the fashion of your clothes will 100% change. Sometimes it’s even for the better.

Ha! I love the descriptions that you made for each band that you aren’t into anymore. They’re like confessions after breaking up with a loved one in the form of one of the band’s song and album titles. Nice.

Man...this segment is just pure example of the change of taste in music with growing up....I got pretty similar changes with keeping respect to those bands that shape my taste with years but going in more progressive and much complex direction of metal....😅

Man. I must be a heavily nostalgic person because, no matter how unexciting some of the 'legacy' acts are, I still go back to their best material with the same level of thrill! For instance, I think Metallica, Maiden and Megadeth are quite boring nowadays but albums like Puppets, Powerslave and Rust in Peace still feel amazing to listen to. I often go back to them when I want to take a break from the new stuff out there. That's probably why I still fire up 1996 Quake on my PC when I have some time to kill. Classics never die! And it's not like I'm stuck in the past or anything. I love checking out new bands and constantly do so. But the oldies but goodies are always there like an old friend. As for a band that has lost its edge nowadays, I'd have to go with Mastodon. Give me Leaviathan-Blood Mountain era Mastodon any day over the current snooze fest. Lol

TOOL will always be my favorite band but I played them to death and saw them live twice (they were my first show ever, 2016 and Primus opened for them, really unforgettable experience). Nowadays I find myself listening to Mr. Bungle and Ween a lot more than TOOL.

Wow, this is like you lifted my own experience from my brain. I wonder how many more of us are out there?

Good shout out about Incubus brotha. That Make Yourself album was my senior year of high school in a nutshell. Such a beautiful piece of art.

For me it was Marylin Manson. THe first album and then Antichrist Superstar-wow,this was special. The music was wild,angry,Manson seemed like some mad ,demonic rebel,an insane, dangerous visionary and I loved that.And then he turned into this silly glam-metal MTV crappy bad boy for naughty teenagers.

Korn used to be my absolute favorite band, and Slipknot and Incubus used to be top bands for me as well.

For some reason I still enjoy Slipknot,kind of a guilty pleasure thing for me.I think I’m just not smart enough to get into Tool,but I still bought the fear innoculum album with the screen too.

When I got back into heavy metal a little over 5 yrs ago, I landed in the softer end of things -- symphonic & power metal. Listened to the heck out of it, eventually discovered melodeath (Arch Enemy was my first) and went hard in that direction. Years later, I still like the softer bands like Nightwish, Epica, Hammerfall, Powerwolf, but it's so strange listening to them now after getting into the heavier stuff. If someone would have told me 6 yrs ago I'd be a full-on death metal fan at age 53, I wouldn't have believed it, lol.. Nice Tshirt there, budz.. That new album by Cattle Decap is something else, isn't it? Glad to see from comments in other videos that you'll be starting a new job too soon. Cheers.

I still either enjoy or love bands like Rammstein, SOAD and Green Day because of their impact on me in my childhood or early teens, but have grown out of bands like Simple Plan, Disturbed and Killswitch Engage.

Tbh all the bands u have mentioned I'm the same with..Will put on korn or slipknot on every so often but these days I have different tastes tbh..great video btw
