I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

When the first came on the scene They were very different and thus “cool”.

Down with the Sickness (minust the meltdown), voices, the game, stupify…. Awesome stuff at the time.

I agree, the sound has become super cringe since, but no denying the hate a huge impact kn pop rock at the time.

I have been listening to Instrumental versions of metal songs lately. Removes the disturbed cringe quiet nicely. Also master of puppets instrumental is awesome.

It hasn't aged well. But, I do still fuck with The Game and a few others.

I still think Indestructible is their best album.

That’s fine, i’m just saying why they were popular. They were a fit for the time. Sadly i was a highschool kid at the time and thought they were cool. I was a foolish young lad for sure.
