??? so your saying that just because it has a catchy tune every now and then makes it good? where the hell does that separate itself from pop music then. Having a few catchy riffs in a giant pile of shit doesnt make it any better than a justin beiber song or a 30 second jingle for a used car dealership.
imo, respect lies in knowing that the artist has put actual thought into what music they play, what lyrics they sing, and their chosen style. grindcore, noiscore, w/e will always be garbage in my eyes because of the simple fact that its lazy and does nothing but add stereotypes the metal scene.

I am sure I'll get killed for agreeing with you, not that I give a shit, but it is true. Black Sabbath is so fucking over rated and always has been. I was thinking that today when I heard them on the radio. Ozzy's voice is a fucking joke. In fact, come to think of it, all of the 'pioneers' of heavy metal are pretty shitty. Maiden is vastly overly lauded. Priest sucks. Sabbath sucks. So, the holy trinity of the past is pretty much a total bore. Venom, the so called 'first black metal band', is atrocious as well.
Bathory is an example of a good band, but one clearly over rated by the majority of people on this forum.
November's Doom is also over rated. They have one great album (The Novella Reservoir) and some decent songs scattered throughout the rest of their discography. They're not deserved of the praise they get.
I find most over rated bands have one thing in common: they have one or two great albums out of 6 or 7, 8 or 9, and since those two albums are great, the band itself is great. Not true.
Oh and Vital Remains is an over rated band, too.

It's true. Bathory is not overrated but they get a lot of praise on this forum. Don't get me wrong though, this is something positive.

Haha, I actually love War Metal, but I am fonder of the Australian scene. Even though I'm from Canada. I'm not very patriotic.

FALSE ARREST! FALSE ARREST!
I now understand what you were getting at,the Canadian scene has been hyped to hell and rightly so but you are right in that the Aussie scene kind've went overlooked.Friggin sux that bands like Bestial Warlust,Abominator and Sad Ex have all basically finished.

THANK YOU
Metallica and Pantera compose shit music and just enforce (including the dim-witted fans) the stereotype people have about metal fans and metal music.

When it comes to the people on this forum specifically, I'm gonna say the following are overrated:
Demilich
Burzum
Reverend Bizarre
Skyclad
Primordial
Demilich
Burzum
Reverend Bizarre
Skyclad
Primordial
Ride The Lightning is better than 90 percent of other metal albums. There would be no dark heavy melodic metal music without it. Majority of the metal bands I like would probably not even have formed, but that's just my opinion.

In what way are you defining "dark heavy melodic metal music" such that Into the Void, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Satan's Fall, etc don't fit under the term?
