Yup. It's just like restaurants. When they start out, they work hard, are creative, care about the product, but once they make it, they forget to take care of the customer.

I think half the problem is that few bands dare to go it alone, without a record company.
If this were to happen, the artist would receive more money instead of working hard only to fill the pockets of the producer. They could then create the music they want to make, and experiment a bit more, instead of being regulated and deadlined by record companies. They could also create the image they want to create and be normal human beings for once.
But it has to be said- not all bands go off after becoming popular.I am a fan of both New Order and Depeche Mode, whose first couple of albums were awful, only for them to improve with time- Power Corruption and Lies is brilliant, as is Construction Time Again. The only problem comes is where fame and not the music came first, which is not the case with either band.
But something has to be said about independant record companies and smaller ones as well- they are not big and so it is not about paying the staff or bending to the demands of superstars. The small companies are much more aware of making good music and are more likely to sign 'risky' bands and alternative bands as well. Small and independant companies usually produce the best music- look at Factory records and Joy Division, or Mute Rcords and Depeche Mode.

The trouble with most groups is they go touring and they never seem to spend enough time working on producing good new songs. It is the songs that count in the long term and if artists do not produce good new material they fade to become live acts churning out the same old stuff.

I think music is a spiritual force (and the people in it are influenced spiritually) for either good or evil. The Devil himself is a musician, as is God, and both their respective people. R&R is the most destructive force ever unleashed on this earth, IMHO.
I believe it has lead to death and destruction in many people's lives, and I include R&B, jazz, motown, rap, etc. in that catagory.
Just because it didn't in your life (yet?) does not negate what I'm saying-Satan has many arrows in his (spiritual) quiver, and he can just fire another at you until you get struck through!
Daniel 3:5
As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.

I think that bands think they have done enough to win a 'sound' fan base and therefore experiment a bit. They can afford to now. They have money to invest in 'proper' producers. By this time the band have developed a sound which is nearer to what they were trying to create in the first place. Unfortunately, the cost in lost fans is immeasurable.

i think that some bands get over promoted (sissor sistors) and this inturn makes them think they are alot better than they actually are
coldplay are another example of this
the more bands think of the money the less creative they get and sound to samey they forget about the fans and let them down.
oasis did this with their 3rd album.

Its true band's seemingly get stuck in a same same spin cycle. I think they hit a comfort zone and its much easier to go with that than to be truely radical and try new things and pee off your fans case in point - Oasis. I can honestly think of only 1 band who have kept experimenting and keep trying to be innovative and fresh....radiohead. Think about how far they have come since pablo honey.....they truly are pioneers without peer.
