DragonXero February 21, 2005 8:06 PM	metallica is currently one of the shittiest bands on the radio, which is futher complicated by the fact that it used to be a great band. GNR has gone Grunge and Roses, which is not horrifying, but still not that pleasing. When was the last time there was a new GNR album out anyway? Van Halen? Well, there were some good guitar solos in there. I can say that much.

80_Million_Fleas February 22, 2005 9:07 AM	Which version of Van Halen are we talking about? David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar... or.. gasp the 'extreme' version? BTW... Slash is Guns and Roses. If Slash had been in any other band, it would have still kicked ass. Who else can play gutiar like he does WHILE a lit cigarette was on his balls?

MikeyG February 22, 2005 10:47 AM	Metallica is absolute garbage and should have all died before even the Black Album came out. Perfect end to a career, just like Jimi. Guns & Roses does not exist anymore. I found it hard to like G & R when they were popular, but that was because I hadn't listened to their music. Say what you want, but those guys rocked, and WERE rock & roll. Van Halen sucks. Always has, always will. Yay.

KajunFirefly February 22, 2005 11:06 AM	Slash wins the contest on behalf of Guns 'N' Roses. Having seen Both G N R and Velvet Revolver in concert I can say that hands down there is no-one on the face of this earth (living or dead) who can rock harder than that guy. Metallica + Van Halen = owned

With that said, Metallica is the most overrated band ever.

What about the Rolling Stones? Sure, Rolling Stones had some good songs, but all in all, I can't say I would want to listen to too much Mick Jagger.

I can think of a lot of overrated bands. Led Zeppelin, the Doors and so on. I think all those bands are overrated. That doesn't mean I think they're bad, no not at all. I just think people worship them far too much.

These days, bands like Tool, Slipknot and Korn get overrated. Tool, I kinda like, but I can't say it's one of the best bands of the 20th century. Sure, it's a lot better than a lot of the crap on the radio, but that's like saying that Getting kicked in the stomach is better than getting kicked in the nuts. The other two, I just don't see it. Disaffected youth that doesn't want to listen to punk, I guess.

Rabid_Weasle February 22, 2005 7:16 PM	No, the Rolling Stones are not overrated, neither is Zeppelin. The Doors maybe a little, which doesn't mean I don't like them, as I do.

You could ram a ball of barbed wire down a vulture's throat, and it's moans of pain would still have more vocal integrity than Kurt Cobain.

Rabid_Weasle February 22, 2005 9:13 PM	Agreed as well. Although I don't mind some of their stuff, Kurt Cobaine still isn't the Jesus of rock so many people claim him to be. Rolling Stone magazine put him as one of the top 20 guitarists of all time around 11th I think. Which should be noted was a couple spots ahead of Jeff Beck and Jerry Garcia.

I loved Nirvana. I like Cobain's voice, even though it's pretty scratchy and what not. Nirvana may have ben overrated, but Cobain knew that. The post-Nirvana explosion was pretty gay, but whatever. They have their place in history.

I love Tool. Korn and Slipknot, notsomuch. Tool gets a bad rap, and I can't figure out why. It's the kind of music I've had to listen to quite a few times to really grasp, and I kind of like that. My advice for anyone interested in Tool and thinks they are overrated is to borrow the album at the very least (Lateralus is the best, but Aenima is a good one, too) and listen to it at four different times. It's a commitment, I realize, but they are GOOD. And the lyrics are pretty fucking deep.

xxausrottenxx February 23, 2005 12:03 PM	anyone who likes that 90's metalish music, like korn, limp bizkit, RATM, should listen to "I fell asleep on my arm" by the Aquabats.

I actually did own Aenima (or is the album Aenema? I can never remember anymore), but it got stolen. That's one of the few CDs I got for free from Columbia House that I wouldn't mind having back.

Tool is a decent band, slightly proggy, fairly heavy, and very unique. I can't really say I can consider it mallcore. It's just good hard proggish rock. Tool is one of the better bands to hit the radio in the past 10 or so years.

Yes, it is the rabid fans who screw up decent bands like that and try to make it seem like a better band than it is.
Original guitars and deep lyrics are key in making Tool a decent band. All in all, there are some grunge/hardrock bands from the 90s I kinda like.

I will concede to liking Sound Garden, Tool, some of Alice In Chains, and a few other random popular songs I heard on the radio in the 90s. That is, I still like them now. There were some I "liked" at the time, but don't care for now. Nirvana, for example. I liked Nirvana in Jr. High school, because that's all I'd really known.

Anyway, now you all know my life story. Yay!

Thoughts on Metallica: Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All. Beyond that, Metallica just lost it.

Guns N Roses: I never understood what everyone loved about "Sweet Child O Mine". It's OK, I guess, but nothing special. "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Paradise City" were the only songs on that album worth listening to anyway. Use Your Illusion wasn't bad though.

Van Halen: The Roth days were definitely the best. But Hagar, man. Nerf Herder said it best: "I'll never buy your lousy records again."

But Megadeth owns all.

Shit, nowadays Megadeth is not even in the same planet as Exodus and Testament. Go back to doing drugs, Mustaine.
I know that there's still a good metal album in that schizo brain of his.

DX, Led Zeppelin is NOT overrated.
"Immigrant Song" ==> First power metal song of all times =D

I actually like early Metallica, hell, i started playing guitar trying (and failing, failing miserably) to play "seek and destroy"

Oh, and AC DC > Everyone

I find the best litmus test for bands like these is this:
What sounds cooler when a pro wrestler comes out to it?

G n'R?
Not really. I'm sure some tosser working the county fair circuit has come out "Welcome to the jungle" or something, but there's no real way for the crowd to get hyped up behind that. No, no, no.

VanHalen?
With Hagar, no way. They'd be coming out to some power ballad. Maybe "Poundcake", but even then, it just sounds too gay to come out to. Maybe "dreams" or "Best of both worlds" could play when you win, but that's about it. "Jaime's crying" or "Eruption" maybe good ones for coming out to, but there's not really a good moment to shake your mullet and lean back into the crowd in those songs.

Metallica?
The Sandman entered to 'Enter sandman' for years, and although it might be one of the more hated Metallica albums, people dug it, especially frat boys. Metallica's old stuff, while universally beloved by everyone who universally agrees that they suck now, is a little too choppy to walk to the ring to, unless the person has tourets, whcih is always possible in wrestling.

Verdict: Metallica
(although I prefer Roth era Van Halen)

MikeyG March 17, 2005 1:16 PM	What if you really hate frat boys and want most of them to spontaneously combust?
Post #170053	link

mmyers March 17, 2005 1:48 PM	Then I would suggest headbutting them on the upbeats. "Ex-it light" headbutt "En-ter night" headbutt "Take my hand" headbutt "Off to never, never land" headbuttheadbuttheadbutt Now that would be an entrance. Lots of frat boy headbutting goin' on. Maybe they'd eventually start headbutting each other.
