Disappointing career arcs
1) Jason Lee. It all started to slide after the 2nd series of My Name is Earl. 3 chipmunk movies later and i think all respect i have for him has since been ground to dust.
Having his own skateboard company is balanced out by him being a scientologist so they aren't counted.
8 tears out of ten
2) Metallica.
It all started to slide when they put out that pop-metal album and had their haircut. It's never been the same since. Loutallica doesn't appear to have shifted the trend towards ponderous, ill-advised projects which shit on their early catalogue from a great height.
There was a time in my life when I thought that it couldn't get heavier than Metallica. That me would weep 6 tears out of ten if he could see what they'd turn into.
