Who's The Most Overrated Metal Band

[Opus(sy)2]

fucking meshuggah.....seriously. i cant stand them.......they are just like fucking fear factory to me!

and also i think bands like vintersorg and amorphis are overated in my opinion

 

[Ormir]

Opeth, obviously. I can't think of another band with a more obnoxious and criticless fan(boy) base.

 

[revenge drama]

In Flames
Arch Enemy
Children of Bodom
Mayhem (euronymous era)
Black Sabbath
Emperor
Bathory

 

[Dark Adapted Eye]

Nile. The hype, while justified, just does not stop.

 

[PiercedFromWithin1]

Nile(like acouple songs,thats it)
Deicide

 

[Dead Winter]

wow, Emperor? Emperor are like gods of metal, IMO.

I'd definitely have to say Tool, Pantera, and Ozzy. NOT ZAKK WYLDE OR RANDY RHOADS, Ozzy. The man grabs his balls to hit the high notes and reads from monitors because he's so loopy he can't remember the lyrics. Tool are innovative, I'll give em that. But I don't see why ppl are are jumping through their asses to see Tool. Pantera are really talented, I just think too ordinary. Nothing refreshing. Although I like Opeth, I can see how they could seem overrated. They play alot of the same stuff, and alot of it is borrowed to begin with. Still love them, though.

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

i think that mayhem are incredibly overated i cant stand them at all. other band which i feel are slightly overated are :
Nile (still a good band)
Burzum
Cannibal corpse

 

[BRUTAL SENSATION]

TOOL are soo damn overrated its just not funny....

 

[jimbobhickville]

pretty much every band listed so far, especially Opeth.

 

[Cyclonus]

Metallica

I love the music, but I hate how a lot of people just blurt out their music as their biggest influence... especially the bands around here, who play pop rock...

They are just an average talented band... not AMAZING WOW stuff...

 

[Dead Winter]

I agree with Soilworker. I love Metallica, and they were very innovative for the speed metal scene, but compared to today's standards...they are definitely average. Back in the 80's, speed was hard to come by. It wasn't as apparent as today. Now there are bands like In Flames, Soilwork, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, etc....great speed metal bands with just as much talent as Metallica. The band who contributes the most to a particular genre gets the most respect, however talented or untalented they may be.

 

[AFSilverstar]

yea I think Tool takes the cake here....

 

[SculptedCold]

I also agree about the Tool thing. I beleive they are talented songwriters and musicians.....but people talk about them as if they're the only band on earth. A Perfect Circle included of course. oh my god they're just so perfect, so sensitive, read the lyrics!!! uke:

I'd also say Arch Enemy. I find them drowsiness-inducingly boring. (literally)

 

[ilyc]

Slayer
Children of Bodom

 

[Slayed Necros]

"Opeth, obviously. I can't think of another band with a more obnoxious and criticless fan(boy) base."


Yes...I am so pleased i'm not alone in thinking this..Opeth are damn overrated..just ike fucking Tool or Meshuggah...In Flames too.

 

[R.I.P.2]

In Flames

 

[imprisoned in flesh]

hasnt anybody mentioned iron maiden? or slayer?

 

[The Mind's I]

Iwould have to say Deicide, Six feet under and Cannibal Corpse.....these are the 3 most yawn inducing bands on earth IMO.

 

[iamunicron]

opeth (beign waiting 4 years for them to do something new and insperational)
black sabbath (just because of pentagram)
mayhem (cheesey scruffy grubby wank metal toss)
nile (what a bag of wank)

 

[PiercedFromWithin1]

Venom are fucking overrated and are fucking shit also.
