Most overrated bands

[dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34]

What do you guys think are the top five most overrated metal bands?

IMO
1.In Flames(I never found anything particularly special about this band even their old stuff)
2.Lamb of God(metalcore to appeal to the mallgoth crowd as well as metalheads. I find nothing special about them really)
3.Suffocation(people constantly think they are THE death metal band. they're just ok kinda generic)
4.Metallica(do i really need to explain this one?)
5.Dark Throne(they get so much praise in the black metal community but what exactly have they done? I'll never understand the whole shitty production and minimalism thing)

yeah some of those are probably controversial opinions.

We've done this so many times.

I guarantee this will be closed.

Bathory-I do like them, but way too much praise than I'd give the band
Children of Bodom-do I need to say any more?
Burzum-once again a band I like, but I feel too many people obsess over the band because of Varg. Had he not done what he did, I bet Burzum wouldn't be nearly as popular

My thoughts exactly.

Perhaps not as popular, but still just as good. So where's the problem?

 

[witchhunterni]

Actually....

I wish for the bashing of Iron Maiden to be backed up with a good argument from that troglodyte~

 

[Zephyrus]

Erik to the rescue.....???

I'm just saying I consider Burzum overrated. If that had been the case, they wouldn't be overrated as they wouldn't recieve so many fanboys

You kinda suck...

I love Children of Bodom, though Alexi Laiho is a fag he's damn good at the guitar... same with Megadeth...Dick leader who rules at the guitar

 

[Crimson Velvet]

5.Dark Throne(they get so much praise in the black metal community but what exactly have they done?

I'll never understand the whole shitty production and minimalism thing)

Kinda renders your opinion on them invalid, doesn't it?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

iron maiden kinda suck...

[PanzerKunt]

What the hell is the deal with Metallica? They havent been a respected metal band in years. Among metalheads that is.

 

[witchhunterni]

I'll say Trivium for eating people I know who listen to metal :| They don't dig any deeper...blah. I also hate the vocals.
