non-**** genres (jazz, blues, classical) are studded with people who have been playing and performing their entire lives.
hmm i was going to disagree witht he initial post but then there is some truth to it.
most of the bands i listen to had great first few albums and then the later stuff is debatable in its quality
overkill,metallica,iron maiden (although they still are good),greenday,slayer,korn,monster magnet.
i think its' a case of running out of ideas but insisting on carrying on rather than stopping like most pop bands do after 6 years.

my 'fix' was to ensure that all musicians signed to a record label weren't given much cash at all...make them live in squalor/borstal type arrangements until the albums are all sold and the end of the 4-album deal has expired.
then give them the money...
So thus the musician has no money to buy equipment, rehearse, record, tour?
The above is the reason why record label's give the musician money in the first place when signing a deal.
