They're afraid of being canceled now. The stuff those bands did back in the day? If there was social media? Shiiiit.

[Bono Nettencourt]

That, and they're old, fat, bald and poor.

Yeah. I remember some girl in Brazil Tweeted she was with Sebastian and he went off on her. How can you trust they won't put it out right away or take a picture when you're not looking?

He's right, and that's a good thing. Even among younger bands, it really isn't a thing. A fan my bring a case of beer for the band or something, but the partying like a moron days are over, for the most part.

Good riddance.

It's got nothing to do with that. Bands are just more mature now. Lord knows, they see what happens when you go down that road.

I would think anyone over the age of 44 wants to park it in a comfortable setting after 9:30 PM each day of the week. Sure I’m positive some of these guys are night owls. However, if you were into partying and or heavy drink or drugs, groupie scene, You best be having some sort of NDA to protect your own ass as well as the bands reputation. You could be a dumb fuck like Dave Ellison jacking off.

So 60 year olds aren't partying like 20 year olds. I don't get it!!

[Kid-Wicked]

they don't have a record company paying for blow.

[Love_Industry]

they don't have a record company paying for blow.

Any member of Warrant can still get a blowjob for free.
Probably from the same sluts who would blow them in 1989.

you know that "blow" and "blowjob" are two different things, right?

Reminds me of the time Peter Steele was on Jerry Springer talking about groupies and an audience member asked him what if one of them pressed rape charges on him and he said he didn't worry about that. These days you need to. Even if charges aren't filed the claims could be all over social media in a matter of hours and cancel their career, whether they did it or not.

[Ryan81]

In short...pretty much everything these days is lame and no fun. You put out an album and nobody pays for it. You do drugs or have a reputation for it and the cops are on your ass. You bang some groupies and a few of them will get together, concoct a story, and say you raped them or if they're being nice only claim it was a sexual assault. Nobody at concerts pays attention to the show because they are too busy filming it. Even though literally 5000 other people are as well and a good chunk of those will be on YouTube the next day. The result is the crowd looks lame and not into it. Compare that to something like Metallica Seattle '89. What audience would you rather perform for?

Being in a band wouldn't even be all that fun anymore really. Obviously being a civilian isn't either. If you had a thousand people that experienced the 80's and you asked them to compare life in general to now I would have to guess that 975 of them would say the 80's were better. And I'm not even talking about the fact we were younger then so that is why. Things objectively just plain suck now compared to then. It's sad really. Why are people choosing this direction?

[VinceVanLane]

You mean newer bands learned from the older bands that it's not a good idea to party so much that they eventually die? I guess they don't want to be like Jane Lane and die of alcohol poisoning or be like Kevin DuBrow and overdose on cocaine. I mean Vince Neil looks like the picture of health so I can't imagine why bands of today don't want to go that route.
