What Long-Term Band Should Break Up?

Examples: Metallica, The Rolling Stones, U2, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, R.E.M etc..

I picked long-term bands that may, or may not, have overstayed their welcome.

Have at it.

(For clarification's sake, I only included bands that have been around for a long time, that sell well, and that, well...I am familiar with)

All of them.

//Radiohead first.

The Beatles.

Dude I would NOT put U2 in that list.

Any band where the members are over 60.

Face it, you aren't able to do what you used to do in the 70's. Its just embarassing. Please stop.

I can understand if your life is music that you'd continue as long as possible. But the problem is with the bands whose music/performances primary appeal was for teenagers, that has long since gone out of fashion.

Thats Russell Brand in about 10 years.

Fat Robert and Co should have buggered off sometime around 1990.

why should any long term band break up???

chances are they've made some pretty baller music, wouldn't you want them to keep on making it?

They had their moments back in the day... they waned creatively speaking. I don't care for them anymore.

Not when they turn to shit and start ruining their own legacy.
Unless they re-invent themselves remarkably well. They should break up while they have something to be proud of.

Zeppelin's comeback was like that, because Robert Plant has lost the vocal range and strength he used to have. It's sad but bound to happen. The rest of the guys did ok though.

metallica
u2

bon jovi

Any band that formed before 1980, I think. That should take care of all the real geezers.

Bon Jovi has always sucked and should never have formed in the first place.

to be fair, they knew they would not be doing the same when john bonham died, which is why they broke up....that was just a reunion with bonham's son, far from a comeback. i dont think "they were embarrassing" applies.

Any band that fails to stay relevant and release good singles. Too many bands are touring off of old catalogs.
