I'm not arguing that they didn't get screwed, but... what's the alternative? Would you have the bands just stick with a situation that isn't working for them, whatever the reason? I do understand your point about the weirdness of fans, though. I've never been around for a seachange that huge in any band I LOVE, so I really can't bring any personal experience to the matter. But yeah, mass opinion is really easily swayed - it's one of the more disturbing consequences of celebrity.
