ew
Oasis.Liam = yes.
Metallica. And Slayer. Most thrash metal too. I don't really think "overrated" can be directly applied to "popular" music (like Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc.), but what really gets me is when guys like Hammett and Mustaine are christened among the "greatest" guitarests of all time. Dunno why, but this really bothers me, especially since I don't think their music is that good.What's funny is that I prefer much of Hunters to their previous works.
*Waits for someone to say "Mastodon" in response* - although I'd be kinda inclined to agree at this point. While I still love their earlier stuff, and even Crack the Skye, their newest album wasn't really that great.

Yay more music debates [/sarcasm]*Insert random biased stuff about why deathcore sucks here*
Kill me for this but Iron MaidenSome of their stuff genuinely sucks (pretty much all their 90s output; Number of the Beast is also overrated, as is their most recent album).
Megadeth.They are definitely overrated though I think they're still a good band and have great albums every now and then.
Gwen Stacy
also, Nickelback :trollface"LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH"
Yup. Then again, when you name a band Dr.Acula I think you're a bit out of loop. It's a little too funny how poor some of the deathcore band names are.Gwen Stacy
They really named a deathcore band after a Spiderman character?
I actually agree with you for about half of those bandsYay more music debates [/sarcasm]*Insert random biased stuff about why deathcore sucks here*
O wait.
Suicide Silence, Whitechapel, Diskreet, Carnifex, Son Of Aurelius, Woe Of The Tyrants, Abysmal Dawn, Job For A Cowboy, Design The Skyline, As Blood Runs Black, My Bitter End, Sikth, Pathology, Annotations Of An Autopsy, Hour Of Penance, Discarnate, The Bridal Process, Chelsea Grin, The Last Felony, And Hell Followed With..., Nightshade, Oceano, Emmure, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Faceless (though not nearly as disgraceful as some of the others on this list), All Shall Perish, Divine Heresy, Bleed From Within, Dying Fetus (though probably the best band here and is more inspired than any of the others; more like Death-Grind rather than Death-Core), Miss May 1, The Eyes Of A Traitor, Trigger The Bloodshed, Hester Prynn, War Of Ages, Gwen Stacy, Oh-Sleeper, Sea Of Treachery, Your Demise, Misery Signals, It Dies Today, Destroy The Runner, Bury Your Dead, Goodbye To Freeway, The Human Obstract, Born Of Osiris, Veil Of Maya (named after a damn good song though the band sucks), Winds Of Plague, Within The Ruins, All That Remains, After The Burial, Benea Reach, Caliban, Dr.Acula, I Declare War, Killwitneydead, Bring Me The Horizon, Thy Art Is Murder, Impending Doom, The Red Shore, Attila, Salt The Wound, Greeley Estates, We Butter The Bread, Chimaira, Unearth, Shadows Fall, Parkway Drive, Darkest Hour, August Burns Red, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, A Day To Remember, Adept, Escape The Fate, Underoath, Demon Hunter, DevilDriver, Haste The Day, We Came As Romans, Heaven Shall Burn, Times Of Grace, Kataklysm, Blinded Colony.
All core of various forms.
U mad, Skiit? :trollface
No idea why SikTh, The Faceless, The Human Abstract and probably Born of Osiris are overrated, at least half of their songs are actually that good.Unfortunately, Emmure has fans. Somehow.
And although I like Misery Signals and After the Burial, sadly they've become overrated once they entered the djent scene.
ALSO WHY THE HELL IS EMMURE OVERRATED IT WAS NEVER GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE
80% of bands that kerrang mag mentions.Kerrang used to be pretty decent back in the 80s apparently. These days I stick rather strictly to Terrorizer.
What's funny is that I prefer much of Hunters to their previous works.
And damn you for guessing what I was going to post :P
But I would disagree with "Most Thrash Metal". While Metallica has been on the wain for a very long time and Slayer's best records are the ones nobody actually listens to (Seasons In The Abyss and South Of Heaven), I feel that bands like Testament, Exodus, Overkill, Kreator and Destruction (at least pre 2003 in the case of the latter) all have had a resurgence and are comparatively unknown compared to modern metal bands and all of them successfully mix melody(especially Testament) and technicality(especially Destruction). Then you have all those bands like Heathen, Toxik, Tankard, Metal Church and so on which are all extremely good (at least in my opinion; I know you're more of a sludge/doom/stoner kinda guy; I still dig the good Cathedral song occasionally :P)
And Mustaine and Hammett suck. Really, while I liked the former a while back I dislike how overrated they are compared to guitarists like Jeff Loomis or Rob Jarzombek. (@R0B0: Did you buy Joel McIver's book on the subject of best metal guitar players?)
Not too sure that you can apply the "overrated" label to relatively obscure bands with narrow fanbases. Even if they do hail said band as brilliant, that's more of appealing to a very distinct set of fans rather than being overrated IMO.I am aware of the fact that really I can't say bands like SiKth are really overrated. They are very specialist as you say, and really those bands (as in the ones Pwnator made note of) don't suck in any real way (other than Aliases).What's funny is that I prefer much of Hunters to their previous works.

The "most thrash metal" comment applied to the fact that I find that thrash seems to be the most lauded and popularized genre of metal, mainly because Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth seem to get a ton of (unjustified) love. TBH, it's a bit of an unfair comment to make because I don't have the depth of knowledge on the genre to really make a statement like that.
But my god I hate Metallica.
And no, I have not read that book. Was it the one that listed Mustaine as the greatest metal guitar player ever?
Metallica are gods and you are a blasphemer of their holy name.ololololol
Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.I guess. Really I would like them a lot more if they had shorter and less repetitive songs.
I still have no idea whether Aliases is just as bad as Emmure or not.Aliases is way better than Emmure, but that really doesn't say much other than that it isn't utter bottom of the pile metal. They're probably better than all the deathcore other than Son of Aurelius, Hour Of Penance and Dying Fetus (IMO DF is leagues ahead in that respect and is a very good but extremely overrated band).
Then, I decided that a blatant SikTh rip-off is no way close to being as bad as a band who tried to fuse deathcore and nu metal.
*shudders*
To defend Metallica, they don't claim to be anything they're not. In fact, they seem to be some of the most self deprecating musicians out there.That's true. Kirk and Rob are pretty cool dudes, while James and Lars are just kinda goofy.
