Why can't bands keep their level

People commonly are more creative and innovative in their youth. Younger people tend to have more active imaginations, be more idealistic, and are bigger risk-takers, and as we age, we tend to get more conservative/ less adventurous and often less passionate (we get set in our ways more). I think it's natural to play it safe more as one gets older.

This is common with people in the arts, but also when it comes to sciences (and just generally). So often the greatest ideas and insights came during one's youth (and after often, say in the sciences, one refines it).
