THE “BANDS EVERYONE SEEMS TO LIKE BUT YOU” THREAD

Thursday, July 31st, 2008 at 4:36pm by Vince Neilstein

I got this idea from our friends over at BITPOM.com who ran a thread like this a couple of months back. You know how there’s those bands that everyone you know seems to like but you just don’t get? And everyone insists that you would like this band if only you’d give them another shot? But no matter what you just can’t seem to get into them at all?

So… what bands does everyone like except you? Come on, don’t be shy… the wonderfully anonymous wall of the Internet will protect you. No one will ever know.

I’ll go first: Isis.

-VN

    Tool

  2. ChuckNorrisIsGod says:

    The Mars Volta I just cannot get into them. Everyone i know talks them up constantly and I just don’t get what is so great.

  3. Sammy says:

    Well, since B-rad took my first choice, I’ll go with Sevendust, with Slayer in the conversation. It’s not that I don’t like Slayer or don’t respect their contribution to metal, I just find them to get tiring on my ears really quickly. I get it, Kerry, you can play really fast and chaotic, now go write an actual solo that is in the same key as the song.

  4. TJ says:

    Going to second VN’s pick for Isis. Never was able to figure out what was so special about them.

    Next on the list:
    Mastodon.

    Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve listened to them, and I happen to think they’re an OK band. But just OK. I don’t understand why people go so apeshit over them all the time.

  5. Will says:

    Devin Townsend’s Solo stuff (except Ziltoid) – I just can’t get into it. I love most of his other shit though.

    Morbid Angel (GASP!) – I missed these guys all this time and most of what I heard had really crappy production and it totally kills it for me. Anybody know of a great introduction to them that has somewhat decent production where I can actually hear what’s going on? This one sucks, because I love death metal and I WANT to like them.

  6. Ian says:

    Trivium.
    I live in Orlando, and yes they have always sucked.

  7. GREGDOUT says:

    bite your tongue TJ before a cysquatch rapes you anally.

  8. Alec29 says:

    Thy Will Be Done……their debut is fucking amazing!!!

  9. d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n. says:

    Nile

  10. Will says:

    d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n. have you heard “Annihilation of the Wicked” from Nile? That’s what got me into them. Fuckin’ AWESOME album!

  11. Eric says:

    Arch Enemy, though I have liked what I heard off of their new one.

  12. noyokono says:

    Anything in a subgenre prefaced by the word “death”.

    I like my metal not death-y.

  13. Cisco says:

    Black Metal, sans Nachtmystium’s Black Meddle PT 1. Assassins.

  14. TheCount says:

    Well, my first choices have pretty much been mentioned, Slayer (Sammy pretty much said everything I had too say about the matter), Nile (I just can’t stand the singer sorry).

    I’m not sure this counts however, because I really used to like this band, but In Flames really don’t do it for me (not anymore at least). I really don’t understand it, I really liked them, but now listening to them just makes me tired. Really tired.

  15. Cisco says:

    Oh, and Dragonforce.

  16. Dr. Tizzle says:

    Will, you’re doing exactly what this article is about, “forcing” people to like a band while they really don’t like it.

    my contribution: Down

  17. Sofa King says:

    lamb of god

    i hate this band

    and dragonforce

    uugh

  18. eric says:

    meshuggah

    I honestly can’t enjoy listening to this band, but everyone seems to love them

  19. Whatanartistdiesinme says:

    I love the riffs, but have never been able to get into Exodus because of their consistently terrible vocalists. It seems that Gary Holt has been unable to find a vocalist that is on par with his skill level as a musician.

  20. Nickmeister says:

    I think I’ve said this before on a thread about God Forbid… But, even though I bought Constitution I just can’t seem to get into it… Sorry Dallas -I’m not you guys suck, but I just can’t seem to ‘get it’. Maybe I just need to give the older albums a try too?

    Funny how b-rad said Tool. I used to not like them because I didn’t have the patience, but now I love ‘em. And same with DEP… I just didn’t get them, and then one day *click*, I bought Ire Works and never looked back!

  21. JW Gacy says:

    High on Fire
    Meshuggah
    Ditto – ISIS, Slayer

    I promise I really do love metal.

  22. joe w says:

    im gonna go with a couple bands that i just think suck and are overrated
    1. U2
    2. Pearl Jam
    3. Nirvana

  23. Fink says:

    Cannibal Corpse. They just seem… mediocre to me. Blasphemous, I know.

    Also not a big fan of Dragonforce, at all. Or pretty much any power metal band for that matter.

  24. Jason says:

    I honestly don’t get why everybody loves Mastadon. I tried to get into them. I listened to a lot of their songs. But, they’re just kinda boring.

  25. matt d. says:

    meshuggah, slayer, opeth, mars volta, om, sunn, boris, tool, pantera, guns n’ roses, whoever pitchfork is busting a nut over this week

  26. b-rad says:

    yeah, a very close second for me is Meshugga. i just think they are VERY overrated.

  27. Jason says:

    Neurosis. Have tried and tried but I just don’t dig it.

    Nachtmystium. Don’t get the hype on this band. Their latest sounds like is recorded on a boombox in a trashcan on mono.

  28. Kye says:

    Megadeth

    By far the most annoying band I’ve ever listened to

  29. 36Thoughtless says:

    Oh boy, I’ve got a slew of these blaphemous admissions.

    Slayer–Everything song on “Reign in Blood” sounds the same and Tom sucks at vocals.
    Metallica–Anything past “Kill ‘Em All” isn’t that great.
    Blacklisted–Slayer wannabes that Converge is trying to sell
    Gates of Slumber–I don’t care, copying note for note Black Sabbath does not make you good.
    Obituary–They’re okay, but the vocals are just silly on “Cause of Death.”
    Iron Maiden–Yes, I just never got into them.
    Motley Crue, or anything else that resembles glam metal in the slightest, with the exception of Van Halen, I don’t like; and I can only stand so much of David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar’s bullshit vocalist schtick routine.

  30. bucketochicken says:

    I’m posting this before I read everyone else’s responses…

    High On Fire

    Almost any/all Black Metal (Nachtmystium, Enslaved being exceptions)

    Most doom

    Motorhead

    Cannibal Corpse

    Nile (dig Karl’s solo disc though)

    Trivium

    almost all hipster-screamy stuff – all those “initials” bands

    Cryptopsy

    Iron Maiden (yeah, I said it. Fuck you.)

    Judas Priest

  31. 36Thoughtless says:

    Oh yeah, and The Beatles, way overrated.

  32. Tyler says:

    high on fire, any black metal, carnifex, all shall perish, emmure…now that i look at it those bands are mostly deathcore…i really like deathcore like whitechapel its just people around here are obbsessed with them so i get tired of hearing them

  33. bucketochicken says:

    Agree on:

    Isis
    DEP

    I love Slayer, but holy shit do they get boring after awhile. South of Heaven, Seasons & DOA are great. The rest? Somewhere between “meh” and “awful.” And that includes almost all of Rein in Blood.

  34. 'Topher says:

    IWRESTLEDABEARONCE ;)

  35. raiseyerfists says:

    Chimaira. Actually a lot of people think they suck them, but I really, really think they suck. Not one good song ever.

  36. banter says:

    Tool, Megadeth, etc

  37. LD says:

    Mogwai… I like post-rock, but i just can’t like them.

  38. Hot Carl says:

    dream theatre & converge… i’m gonna be sick

  39. Mason says:

    Killswitch Engage and Meshuggah

    i have all of the Killswitch albums, but i was never really interested

  40. bloodjunkie says:

    Tool, Messhugah, Mastodon, Cannibal Corpse, High On Fire, Arch Enemy, Trivium, Slayer, Death, Pantera, All Shall Perish, Scar Symmetry, Opeth (though I liked Watershed)… I recognize the players abilities and I think they’re great musicians, but I simply cannot get into them yet people are always raving about them.

  41. Malacoda says:

    Mastodon, Job for a Cowboy, Dragonforce, pretty much all of the bands that people only like from Guitar Hero (OMG I LUVVVVVVVVVVVV SHADOWS FALL) etc.

  42. jesse says:

    Meshuggah, Tool and Slayer

    I understand that having “contemporary” beats here and there can be entertaining. But holy shit Meshuggah just sounds like they’re trying to suck on purpose.

    Tool can just suck my balls. Whiney voice, recycled riffs, way too much hype. And they do that stupid off-beat bullshit too much for my taste too.

    Slayer are the undisputed kings of recycled riffs. I need not say more.

  43. ISIS’ ‘Oceanic’ is in my top five of all time. Incredible record.

  44. jesse says:

    Thanks Vince, by the way. You gave everyone here a chance to be an elitist for a day.

  45. CrapMcPoopin says:

    Isis, Neurosis, Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Opeth, High on Fire, Down, Dream Theater, and all of those awful bands Axl and Vince tell us to listen to like IWRESTLEDABEARONCE. Terrible.

  46. Noch says:

    People have said it…In fucking Flames.I simply refuse to call it death metal,no matter what speech I’ll be given for this statement…

    High on Fire…heard some of it.And it sucks.

    Mastodon.I couldn’t get into them even if I WANTED to try harder.

    As I Lay Dying.Christian emo?Give me a break.

    Meshuggah.Whatever you say (”POSEERRRRRR YOU’RE NO DEATH METAL DIEHARD YOU POSEEERRR).Look.I’ve listened to it.Gets me extremely fed up within seconds.Experimental,yes.Relevant?No.

  47. TJ says:

    36Thoughtless- I’m not bashing you in any way… but do you even like metal? Again, people are entitled to their opinions. But you don’t like Maiden, Metallica or Slayer? What do you listen to? I’m honestly curious.

    Another band I hate- Cradle of Filth. I know some people like them, but holy hell they are terrible.

  48. ozzyzak says:

    DEP gets a big fat ‘meh’ from me.

  49. Some Dude says:

    Iron Maiden
    Hatebreed

  50. Tony says:

    PROTEST THE HERO
    Can’t stand them

  51. FleischBerg says:

    I don’t think that these bands are bad but I just cant get into them:
    Opeth, Protest The Hero. Chimaira, Motorhead, Tool, Dragonforce, Lamb Of God

  52. Sammy says:

    GUYS! Why do you keep saying “Protest the Hero”? It’s supposed to be bands EVERYone seems to like. Doesn’t this band have a following of the Metalsucks Mansion inhabitants and about 5 people who comment here? Hardly “everyone”.

  53. bob fossil says:

    TOOL, DREAM THEATER, RADIOHEAD, PINK FLOYD, ZAKK WYLDE,AND JUSTICE FOR ALL =EVERYONE OF ‘EM OVERRATED! AND WHAT IS WITH AMERICANS AND U2?

  54. Fuck anonymity!

    Killswitch Engage
    Dragonforce
    A7X
    Mastodon
    In Flames
    Megadeth post So Far, So Good, So What…”

  55. Michael says:

    Opeth. I tried, several times, but it’s just they are just too pretentious and for the last two albums quite boring… omfg how boring they are.

  56. Eric Hanson says:

    Into Eternity
    Black Tide

  57. Eric Hanson says:

    Oh, and Trivium. How could I forget Trivium.

  58. James says:

    Meshuggah – I bought a ticket to see them live in September thinking it’d give me a chance to check them out but i’ve found them just so monotonous and dull.

    Arch Enemy – Everyone seems to love them but they’re just really repetitive, quite unoriginal and i couldn’t ever see them getting this much attention if they didn’t have a female singer

  59. Cisco says:

    Suicide Silence

  60. CarlosRamirez says:

    Neurosis

    The Melvins

    High On Fire

    Dimmu Borgir

    Black Label Society (anyone who likes this band should kill themself)

  61. ShitnYoVagina says:

    Slipknot- “(get a mask or some paint and white trash kids will go Nuts!)”
    MSI – “um….that guys spitting on me and making fun of me, and i guess i don’t care….”
    Dragonforce -my “chad” friends like this band, explains it all
    Bal=Saggoth – i think that singer guy just talked over music for an hour…. thanks

  62. Another Opinion says:

    Why the fuck would anybody WANT to like a band? Get over the fucking hype kids. Listen to the music. Stop judging art by a bar that’s already been set by a society that you know doesn’t speak for you. Kill the generalized other, whether it’s the E Channel, MetalSucks, or the most hardcore bastard you know. Just listen. Music will (and has) become much better the more that we actively try to do this.

  63. Roar says:

    Lamb of God
    The Mars Volta
    Metallica
    Trivium

  64. cpo says:

    wow, this is better way to find a retard than a dna test!

  65. Luca5L8 says:

    Killswitch Engage, Dragonforce, Slayer, Dream Theatre, Bullet For My Valentine, Beatles, Radiohead, U2, Arch Enemy, Black Label Society and Meshuggah

  66. cumbubblefromyoursistersass says:

    ME-FUCKING-TALLICA! Always been overrated

  67. cumbubblefromyoursistersass says:

    ps, very well said Another Opinion

  68. Bruce Wayne says:

    Wow. What kind of metal do you like? Because there’s about 30 amazing metal bands in this list that you all apparently “don’t get.” Mastodon, Lamb of God, Converge, In Flames, Opeth, Dream Theater, Pantera (really? how do you not get Pantera?), Meshuggah – they all fuckin shred like there’s no tomorrow. All of them are unique and awesome in their own way. Seriously, they’re great.

    However, Cradle of Filth is PURE SHIT. As is Black Label Society.

  69. AngryGeekGirl says:

    Dillinger Escape Plan

    Everyone keeps saying how cool and technical and (insert long series of overblown metal cliches). I was not impressed. It felt like they were trying way too hard to convince me they were so edgy and better than everyone else. That, and I was flat bored.

  70. NuMallCore Pwns YoMama says:

    I was going to throw in High on Fire, but everyone here seems to dislike them, so I guess I’m in good company.

    With that being said, I just can’t get into Scar Symmetry. Every review I have ever read, the review has had a hard on for this band.

  71. KyleXY says:

    Tool – I definitely would not say that these guys suck; I do dig a handful of their songs, but just never understood the big deal. A lot of it just comes off as pretentious.

    Lamb of God – I tried, I really did, but, they are just too one dimensional. Though, like Tool, they have a handful of pretty kickass songs.

    Other bands I see on this list like Trivium and Mastodon are widely regarded as shitty bands therefore there is really nothing to get and not worth mentioning.

  72. Bruce Wayne says:

    Can you people tell me what’s so shitty about Mastodon?

  73. Damotello says:

    Suicidal Tendencies, I just can’t stand Mike Muir’s voice =/

  74. matt says:

    Another vote for Slayer and Cannibal Corpse here.

  75. Ross says:

    Darkthrone. Sounds like it was recorded in a fucking dumpster and all the songs sound the same. The corpse paint is funny but people take this shit overboard….I guess you could say this about most black metal.

  76. David says:

    Opeth. I’ve tried and tried, even own 3 or 4 of their albums, just can’t seem to be too interested in them.

  77. DH says:

    Did someone say PINK FLOYD? What?! I don’t know what to say after seeing that.

    Mastodon owns. Idiots

  78. amy says:

    man i wanna like CONVERGE but do not.

    hey no fair naming trivium — most people don’t like them.

  79. Nick says:

    Meshuggah. Mastodon. Black Label Society. King’s X. seriously, why do people like this?

    Listening to Soothsayer’s “To Be a Real Terrorist” right now.

    Yeah, Thrash. The Pinnacle of Metal.

  80. Nick says:

    P.S. Pretty much all metalcore, new school Hardcore, and melodic DM is lame too.
    Black Metal and traditional Death Metal are good, but i’m just completely tired of them both.
    Give me THRASH, Classic Power Metal, Punk, and Doom

  81. Retin says:

    All these new sludgy-70’s rock bands that somehow get passed off as metal. Kind of like the Mastodon knock-off’s.
    Defiantly Opeth, just like what David said above and their clean vocals certainly don’t help me. Shadows Fall, oh for the love of god, what do you people see in them? Can someone explain it?

    And almost everything that got big on TRL or Circus Magazine in 1998 that had a giant cult following of people who spent too much time at Hot Topic.

  82. The Sword
    Mars Volta
    Soilwork
    Hate Eternal
    In Flames
    Bleeding Through

  83. Retrograde says:

    What’s with the High on Fire hate? Do you people not like riffs?

  84. jaime says:

    I’m suprised at all the Neurosis. I think they make some incredibly interesting, textured music, though i would say they do not play any sort of traditional metal.

    My band i don’t get: Lamb of God. Awful singer, mediocre guitarists, good drummer though. I just don’t know why anyone who has heard an At the Gates album would be impressed by this band that is incredibly cliched lyrically.

  85. DeaThrash says:

    I can’t believe that not a single person has said System of a Down yet, I absolutely despise that band. Hate everything about them, wish they would just disappear. I also don’t like Megadeth. I think Mustaine is the most overrated musician I have ever heard of. Other bands I could care less if they were gone: Black Label Society, Dillenger Escape Plan, Cradle of Filth, Avenged Sevenfold, Deathcore, Metalcore, and Glam Rock is NOT Metal.

  86. Marmaduke says:

    Job For A Cowboy…what the fuck is the big deal with these guys?

    Any kind of death metal really…with the exception of BTBAM, but I’m not sure they’re really “death” metal. Death metal just seems like a lot of the same shit, i.e., blast beats galore, barely audible super-low singing, no melody or rhythm. What gives with that whole genre?

  87. Marmaduke says:

    Also surprised at all the Lamb Of God hate. Incredibly talented guys in my opinion. Also Protest the Hero is my favorite band, and it just pains me to see people simply pass off such a musical masterpiece as “Fortress.”

  88. Master of Puppies says:

    There are so many bands that come to mind for this, but I’ve got to say the one band that I’ve never understood the hype for would be Shadows Fall, probably because of the vocals.

    others would definitely include Hatebreed, Dark Tranquility, Black Label Society, Soilwork, Dimmu Borgir and Unearth

  89. Diego says:

    mmmm…black sabbatt, led zepelin,meshuggah

  90. Gdub says:

    On a non-metal note, Sublime. I don’t know a single other person who doesn’t like them aside from me. The gimmick is the same everytime, and honestly I think the singer has a terrible voice.

    On a metal note, Pantera. I just don’t get the appeal.

  91. banter says:

    I pity people who don’t ‘get’ Opeth.

  92. metalAC13 says:

    I’d say Dream Theater (not that they aren’t amazing musicians and all that, I just can’t get into them); Meshuggah (don’t know why I can’t get into them); Cradle of Filth (I really can’t get into them for whatever reason); and Dimmu Borgir

    In Flames–aside from Whoracle

  93. 36Thoughtless says:

    @TJ
    I don’t really hate any of the bands I listed, with the exception of all glam metal: I’m just not into them. Currently, I’m listening to Leviathan’s “Massive Conspiracy Against All Life,” Arsis’s “We are the Nightmare,” and Bergraven’s “Dodsvisioner.” I’ve been in a black metal mood lately. I’ve also been looking for newer bands to get into.

    @Another Opinion
    “Why the fuck would anybody WANT to like a band?”
    Well, honestly, because I try to be an open-minded and fair person. For example, after having a discussion with Revrant about Disturbed, I took the liberty of listening to “Indestructible” the whole way through simply because, upon reevaluation, I’ve found myself having different opinions about a band, and because a band can change drastically from album to album. A lot of people here don’t like Mastodon, and I used to be in the same boat until buying “Blood Mountain,” an album I love. But even after going back to their other albums, I still can’t get into their earlier work nearly as much as I’ve enjoyed “Blood Mountain.”

  94. -gODGRINDER- says:

    Mastodon, Torche, The Sword, Witch, High on Fire, and Javelina.

    Hipster bullshit.

  95. bob fossil says:

    Godammit opeth as well!!! Fuck ‘em!

  96. Crush1214 says:

    1.) Dream Theatre – ugh I like prog metal but I find them so fucking annoying!
    2.) Protest The Hero – just because you can play sick guitar doesn’t mean the whole band is good.
    3.) Shadows Fall – lead singer looks like the lead sing of P.O.D.’s brother, o and they suck.
    4.) (Non Metal) Comeback Kid – I am sorry overall just annoying and not original.
    5.) Metallica – Do I have to say anything. Lets just see if their new album on the Vagina Monologues is any good.
    6.) Death – Respect them but never got into them cause I find the singers voice annoying.
    7.) Job For A Cowboy – Sounds like every other band.

    Yeah that is it for now.

  97. JJ says:

    Well, since Tool and Isis have already been mentioned, I’m gonna go with:
    SYSTEM OF A DOWN
    There is nothing about that band that I like. NOTHING

  98. linh. says:

    trivium
    converge
    dragonforce
    black label society

  99. linh. says:

    oh, and disturbed. they make me cringe.

  100. RayRay says:

    UMMMM HOW ABOUT MASTODON? WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE THIS BAND? ID

  101. RayRay says:

    To finish that post…Ive seen Mastodon and heard the horseshit they put out…Hipster bullshit is spot on GodGRinder

  102. Richard says:

    Does it really bother anyone else that people keep saying shit about PTH? I mean, if you’ve ever listened to Kezia or Fortress, you’d know this band kicks 7 kinds of ass.

  103. ozzyzak says:

    @banter

    Well thank christ for that. Apparently people are missing the point of this thread. We’re supposed to be naming bands that we can’t seem to get into. It’s not always hate. That said, I’m not sure why people come in here not expecting to see bands they like.

  104. blen genton says:

    it seems like a lot of ppl are naming the same bands. well i haven’t seen anybody say they don’t like the black dahlia murder. i’m not gonna mention a bunch of newer bands because i don’t like too many of them anyways. as for older bands, i can’t stand napalm death (yeah that’s right), death angel (listen to dark angel instead), most/all annihilator after the first 2, nuclear assault, all bathory, but most of all (for some reason everyone in the state of new york loves them), life of agony

  105. A7X. It’s not that I “want” to like them; I can even see why the 12-year-olds get into them, but what cracks me up is kids who think A7X are the be-all-end-all but won’t have anything to do with the 80s bands that their entire sound is based on.
    Also, prog/art/opera rock like Dream Theater isn’t supposed to be for “everyone”; they had one hit and even that was an acquired taste. I like them but I don’t think anyone’s worse off for not “getting” them.

  106. envenomedcky says:

    Converge. I fucking hate Converge.

  107. Noozle says:

    It’s funny that there’s so many people who can’t get into Dream Theater, because I used to not like them at all, but now they’re my favorite band. One of the problems about getting into Dream Theater is that, because they have such a broad array of sounds, you can’t just listen to a few of their songs to really “get” them. It’s often just finding the right song that hits you. It also doesn’t help that LaBrie’s vocals are painfully whiny.

    As for bands that I don’t get:
    Dragonforce – I understand why people like them, but really?
    Evanescence – I don’t really call them metal, but so many people I know like them
    Porcupine Tree – I feel like this is along the lines of Dream Theater for me, but I’ve never found any of their music really interesting.

  108. Bruce Wayne says:

    I can’t believe all the hate for Mastodon, Lamb of God, Protest the Hero, and Converge. I really can’t believe it. GO LISTEN TO JONAS BROTHERS YOU BUNCH OF SALLY’S.

  109. enemyofgod72 says:

    I can’t believe the Slayer and Megadeth hate I’ve read on here. Do you ppl even like metal? Anyway …
    Cradle of Filth — Dani Filth hangs out w/Bam Magera -nuff said
    Shadows Fall — I keep trying but they suck
    Unearth — Wow I’ve heard the same song for 3 albums
    Children of Bodom — sorry you guys suck
    Trivium — How can talented musicians suck so bad!

    For any Metaleads out there check out Gojira they’re the best metal band I’ve heard in a long time.

  110. cj says:

    Disturbed

  111. confederacy says:

    MASTODON!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dragonforce, Lamb of God (though the first half of Black Label is really good), most of the stuff that purports to be doom nowadays (Zoroaster, Weedeater, etc.)

  112. VitruvianApe says:

    wow this has got to be a record breaking number of posts

    shadows fall
    children of bodom
    cradle of filth
    and to the people who put a7x, that dosent count, you can’t not get a band that everyone in the world knows suck

  113. Martijn says:

    Isis – they bore me
    Opeth – too kitschy
    Meshuggah – ugly nu-metal guitar sound and mediocre vocalist
    Death – can’t stand Schuldiner’s voice
    The Melvins – strangest one, since I love e.g. Electric Wizard, Down and Big Business, but The Melvins just don’t do it for me.

    I like some Morbid Angel and Mastodon songs, but they’re not really favourites.

  114. Blondin says:

    Cult Of Luna

    @Gdub- I’m gonna second your hate for Sublime.
    I’ve never figured out their appeal, and don’t understand how they still receive massive airplay on the radio today.

    Terrible band all around.

    I’m also going to second a few people on the Devin Townsend thing. I’ve tried, but SYL does nothing for me. I like a lot of the bands he has produced, but his own music leaves a lot to be desired.

    Very good thread, Vince, thanks!

  129. Lasher says:

    I agree it seems with most of the bands listed on here!

    1. While Motorhead is influential, every damn song sounds exactly the same. I saw a video where some guy was raving about Lemmy being the best lyricist in rock and hasn’t been given his credit and I just had to raise an eyebrow and keep quiet due to the fact my boyfriend is an insane Motorhead fan and was franticly enjoying his new Motorhead DVD purchase.

    2. Cryptopsy

    3. I also agree with the consensus that Slayer gets boring after a while.

    3. Meshuggah –

    4. Avenged Sevenfold. Puke.

    5. The Swords new album and most of the stoner rock going on right now that all sounds the same.

    6. Venom. I like Black Metal and Manitou and that’s about it.

    7. Gallhammer – seriously bad vocals.

  130. The Black Dahlia Murder, The Red Chord, Job For A Cowboy, Children of Bodom.

    The White Stripes – Not metal, but almost equally as awful.

  144. Well some of people missed the point of this thread which was mentioned earlier but I guess the bands that are getting alot of plays and alot of fans that I cant understand why would be the following:

    Emmure (WOW! I saw a video for this band and I was so upset with the planet)
    High on Fire (Alot of my friends like this band and I dont get it)
    Death-core (I am not going to list the names of these bands because some of the ones that are getting really big are lable mates and are cool dudes I just cant get into them and in my opinion they dont offer anything catchy)

    Ok, now I can talk about the bands that I have seen being posted on here and I am suprised.
    Opeth is a given they write 10-12 minute long songs that alot of people dont want to give that much attention to. However I am a huge fan of them.
    But when someone says Lamb of God I wonder if they are fans of metal because their songs are generally brutal and short and catchy. So thats wierd when people say they cant get into it. In my opinion they are an easy band to listen to.
    What ever right? Its all peoples opinions

  156. jesse says:

    I must say I do love the Meshuggah hate. They are a band that sucks that people feel they have to brag about liking because they know no one else “gets” them(because they suck). I’ve seen them twice, I’ve heard music from all of their albums, I truly tried to like them. But Jesus titty fucking Christ they suck. Anyone seen that video where the guitar player is jamming with that Morgan Gren dude? Absolute crap! Usually when people go out of their way to showcase a guitar player, you get something that actually displays talent, not lack there of. Hell even Korn’s guitar player(s) can do better than he did in that video.

  157. jesse says:

    @James

    I see what you’re saying about Arch Enemy’s hype. While I am a fan of them, they didn’t get shit for attention when they had Johan Liiva. I doubt many people even know Angela isn’t their original singer for that matter.

  158. RegularRon says:

    I have to go with Mastodon as well. Never could understand what the big deal is with them. Lamb of God…Not untill the last album did I start liking these guys. Pryor to that, I hated them.

    One band, that I truly can’t stand is Death. Never liked them. “Scream Bloody Gore”? What a joke, my 10 year old nephew can write better lyrics than them.

    As for Job for a Cowboy, I saw them back in April, up and to that point, didn’t understand they hype, then watched them and was hooked. Amazing band.

    By the way, I love this site.

    Yeah, I’m not sure about the Isis thing. I haven’t seen a whole lot of praise for them in the press lately (although, admittedly it’s been two months since I’ve picked up an actual metal mag).

    I don’t have all of their stuff, but I think “In The Absence of Truth” and “Panopticon” are both extremely solid albums.

    “Absence” in particular had a lot of high points that made my ears perk up more often than some of the other garbage out there.

    Speaking of, and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this last night, but Pelican gets on my nerves. That’s one I don’t get. I like some of the instrumental stuff out there, and I admit that I bought “City of Echoes” because of all the hype. But I just can’t like it.

    Great thread, VN. I would suggest doing another with the opposite topic: Bands that metalheads dig and can’t understand why everyone else seems to hate them. That would start a tremendous amount of great bashing.

  168. -gODGRINDER- says:

    Revrant –

    I’ve gone back and forth with LP over the years. In my angst-ridden, Nu-Metal phase back in 98-2000 I was really big into them when they were called “Hybrid Theory.” I thought they had some great hooks and melody lines.

    Never bought Meteora, and I didn’t even want to bother with “Minutes to Midnight” until I heard “Given Up” on the radio about two months ago.

    I’m going to lie; I love that fucking song. Great beat, great chorus, and Chester’s screaming on that song is amazing.

    It’s amazing how my tastes shift based on what’s going on in my life at the time. Some artists just have the luck to strike when the iron is hot, I guess. :)

You’ve all shown saddening displays of ignorance and stupidity by downplaying some of the most influential bands in Metal, PERIOD. You dont like Maiden, Sabbath, or Slayer? Why the fuck do you even listen to metal in the first place? With that out of the way, heres my list: Christ-core in general, minus Zao and LivingSacrifice. where in your book of lies, fear, nonsence, and stolen Bhuddist philosophys does it say Jesus rocks? It doesnt. Go the fuck away. Bullet For My Valentine, and these other Maiden apeing, Metallifag worshiping wannabes (yes even Trivium, who i still sit on the fence over..). Boy Bands with guitars re-hashing old original Thrash riffs for the sake of sounding cool. Job For A Cowboy. Hey kids, its called DEATH METAL, not DeathCORE. Look it up.

    For that matter any of these run of the mill death metal wannabes like The Faceless who refer to themselves as Tech Death.

MOVE ON (that goes for the rest of you Dep fans too). Slipknot, why the hell are they still selling records? Am i right, are teenagers really getting dumber and fatter as each year passes? That cant be it, can it? Fuck me…

  174. 36Thoughtless says:

    @The Metal Nerd
    “You dont like Maiden, Sabbath, or Slayer? Why the fuck do you even listen to metal in the first place?”

    You don’t get it. The fact that those bands heralded their respective genres has little bearing on whether they, in hindsight, are good (ignoring the argument of whether they actually are). For instance, why the hell would you want to fly in the Wright Brothers’ plane now? You wouldn’t. You would want to fly in the far more developed planes, planes with air conditioning, better safety mechanisms, planes that can fly long distances, planes that can carry your luggage. The Wright Bros.’ plane can’t do those things. Art isn’t much different in a lot of ways. I don’t necessarily think that caveman paintings are all that great, but hey, that’s all they could do. I personally prefer Dali, who I believe was much better.
    The reason I bring this up is that many people have your same mentality–that whatever came first in popular music (non-classical, respective to the genre) ultimately should deserve more attention than anyone else that comes along and, quite frankly, does it better, or takes it in a different direction–and I honestly believe that’s a stupid assumption.

  175. Cam says:

    @36Thoughtless, unfortunately not everybody does look at it that way. More than a few people I know claim to like Sabbath simply because they think they have to in order to listen to metal. Li

  178. DeaThrash says:

    @ 36 Thoughtless:

    On your thoughts about things being “new”, Black Sabbath, and cave paintings. Did you really just compare Black Sabbath to a cave painting? I don’t even know where to start so lets just start with the “new” thing. First of all I don’t know how educated you are but there is something called Logic, it is basically a list of 50 fallacies, not phalluses (so don’t confuse the two), and one of them is called “The Fallacy of Novelty” it basically states that newer is better. This is wrong. It is not true, sometimes it may be the case but the fact that you are basing your whole argument around it is just ultimately incorrect. Now that we have that out of the way lets go back to Black Sabbath. If you don’t like them fine cool that’s totally up to you. But to say that there are bands with more substance than them is just not true. They have better lyrics, better riffs, and better song structure than most of these newer bands that you seem to think are so great. And comparing this band to the Wright Brothers plane or cave paintings, what are you retarded? That is the beginning of something completely different, if you want to go to a musical beginning go to Greek Philosophy when Hermes supposedly raped a woman to make the shape of a guitar to begin music. Don’t skip generations. But you know, whatever… to each his own, that is my two cents whether you want it or not.

  179. Martijn says:

    “should stop listening to metal and its resective subgenres and go try out Jazz or Ska.”

    I’d say it’s better to listen to metal and try out jazz. There’s a world of great albums out there. Painkiller or Naked City are good places to start for metalheads. Ska is less interesting, but there’s still some pretty good stuff. And of course they invented the shaved head/Doc Martens-look.

  180. Hinckley had a vision says:

    @36Thoughtless
    I don’t think you should care too much about not liking some classic metal acts, but your metaphor with the plane is stupid. A plane is supposed to serve a specific function while the “function” of art is way more complex. To think that the “function” of art can be more successfully achieved by modern means and that everything done a few years or centuries back is anachronistic is dumb.

    Slipknot.

    I saw their interviews on “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey,” and they seem like interesting guys, but their music leaves me cold. They aren’t bad, but I was never able to get excited about their songs. I’m not sure what I missed.

  185. 36Thoughtless says:

    “I don’t think you should care too much about not liking some classic metal acts, but your metaphor with the plane is stupid. A plane is supposed to serve a specific function while the “function” of art is way more complex.

    @Hinckley had a vision:
    You err in that I’m not arguing that older art is anachronistic, but I agree that the plane analogy was probably not the best choice. However, it’s the question of development, not of function, that I’m interested in. If you misinterpreted my aim, I apologize. I would assume that you’d agree with me in that the purpose (”function”) of art is the communication of ideas and emotions. What I’m saying is that, like the airplane has developed over to time serve its purpose in a better way, art has done, somewhat similarly, the same thing. There are more facilitators of art’s communication, and, due to its development over time, more insight into how such things can be accomplished and further pursued.

    Again, looking back, I agree the plane analogy was a poor one, but I’ll reiterate my main point:
    “The reason I bring this up is that many people have your same mentality–that whatever came first in popular music (non-classical, respective to the genre) ultimately should deserve more attention than anyone else that comes along and, quite frankly, does it better, or takes it in a different direction–and I honestly believe that’s a stupid assumption.”
    This is the assumption I feel that I’m tackling when responding to The Metal Nerd’s comments.

  186. The Mighty Fucking Quinn says:

    Doubt anyone will see this, but here are my thoughts:

    -Tool have like 4 good songs.Everyone wants to eat their cocks.Get over it.Lots of bands write long songs and take 11 years to put out albums.

    -Anything with Max Cavalera.I’m one of the few people who dig Derek Green Sepultura.Max is over-rated and while I accept the importance of what he has done in the past, having only been in the metal game a few years, by the time I got into it, I already believe he pissed his credibility away.Take every good Soulfly song, and you get maybe an album.Each record has a few decent tracks and then 9 other pieces of shit.

    -Iron Maiden.I’ve tried gettin into em.Thought they were amazing a few years back at Ozzfest.Just can’t get into the records.Same with Priest, although the past few months I’ve made way with the “Metal Gods.”

    -Bleeding Through.They could be a decent hardcore outfit if it wasn’t for the poorly placed synths of the chick that everyone wants to feed a cock-meat sandwich.

    -On a side note, I love Meshuggah, but they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over hyped.I was guilty of praising them too much, but once I realized I wasn’t alone, I backed off.

    -Old Dillinger.Not nuts on it.

    -In This Moment.Would be platinum by now if they put out “Beautiful Tragedy” in 2000.

    -I can’t dig Led Zep.I hate to sound like an asshole, but I think the first 5 or 6 Sabbath albums just shit all over them.Forgive me father, for I have sinned.

    “And comparing this band to the Wright Brothers plane or cave paintings, what are you retarded?”
    No, I wasn’t comparing Black Sabbath specifically. Generally speaking, I don’t care for older music, although Black Sabbath is an exception for me.
    I agree that the plane metaphor was not good, but the cave paintings still does have merit. Cave Paintings are a basic beginning of an art form. There are beautiful in their own right, but that which developed from those paintings, such as surrealism and impressionism (eventually) is also beautiful. There is a beauty attained from development that does not necessarily outmode the old, and there is a beauty in the old that does not outmode the new.
    Furthermore, the fact that cave paintings (or the humble beginnings of metal) are old and influential has little bearing on whether they can be objectively called “good.” That’s not the fallacy of novelty. If every metal band went around playing the exact same thing as Black Sabbath the same way, eventually people would look down on those bands because of their lack of development. In other words, we have an expectation of development. When someone releases a new album, we expect them to do something new or push themselves beyond their last album (unless, of course, you are a Hatebreed fan).
    Black Sabbath was good for its time and was hugely influential to metal. Does that make Black Sabbath objectively good? I don’t know. But looking back from now, we say whether they were good with more clarity–the development over time I referred to earlier.
    I know, looking back and review my original post, that the plane metaphor implied a different argument than the one I was actually arguing, although I do tend to prefer newer music over older music. If that’s a crime, whatever.

    1. I like Hatebreeds almost mindless sort of take no shit additude twards what essecially a dead genre. Its kinda fun. Plus that never say die positivity just isnt seen in music much any longer so.and 2. yeah its your tastes, who cares. whatever.

  192. DeaThrash says:

    @ 36 Thoughtless

    When I was making the comment about fallacy of novelty I was saying that it sounded as though you were arguing that Black Sabbath or any other older band is not relevant purely because they are old or not “new”, but I understand where you are coming from now. However, I still enjoy Black Sabbath very much. For me there is just something about listening to them that I enjoy, and simplistic does not always mean bad. If I like it I like it, simple or not. But it is nice to see someone with an education, this must mean that you must atleast some college education and are not a 14 year old twit living with mommy and daddy. Also, look into the technique in cave paintings they were very advanced not just back then but for even now with the style, brush stroke, and the fact that it has lasted centuries… so they stand the test of time. Like Sabbath, perhaps?

  193. [...] by the massive success of last week’s “Bands Everyone Seems to Like But You” thread (almost 200 comments and counting!), I figured we’d try its natural opposite — what are [...]

  194. STEEL! Messiah says:

    Pretty much anything *core.

    I have yet to listen to a core band that doesn’t sound like a bunch of noise squeezed together into a tight package. I consider even the most brutal of death and black metal to be more artistic and musical than the noise that is core.

    Call me trve cvlt necro, elitist – whatever – I still think *core sucks ass no matter how much everyone else likes it, I doubt I will ever get it.

  195. marc says:

    I saw Tool mentioned a good amount and I just wanted to say I agree. I get it that their drummer is really good at triplets and their bass player can do the same riff for all of their singles. Honestly it’s not even that they don’t sound good its just that every single song they have written sounds the same, and thats a good thing at all.

  199. Revrant says:

    Izaak: Calls David Draiman a fucktard, yet makes no mention of Dillinger Escape Plan, host to the most fucktarded front man barring Dave Mustaine.

    Hilarious.

    TJ: Lots of people like metal that don’t like Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, or Anthrax, IE the big thrash four, they are not metal, they’re thrash metal with sprinkling of death metal, I know it’s the second rising of “metal” and all, but it’s not metal, there are lots of people, like myself, that find more to like about older metal than metal inspired by the thrash four.

    -gOD: I don’t think I’ll ever like LP, I’ve hated them upon first sight, which was their music video with the dyed hair and vampires or whatever, the lyrics remind me of a twelve year old goth trying to write poetry(I grew up in the goth era, not the emo era, sue me). They’ve honed their art to some extent, but they haven’t grown at all, and Chester somehow has surpassed Bono as the biggest douche out there, and considering he’s walking around emulating Bono(shades, MTV events and sassy attitude), that’s pretty impressive.

    There’s just something that bothers me about a band that doesn’t want to grow at all, the sole thing I liked from them was specifically the video for What I’ve Done since it’s just something a metal band wouldn’t normally cover, the music itself is very “Eh”.

    blah.

    My Chemical Romance – People keep trying to get me into them based on whatever the INCREDIBLE song of the moment is… Just not into it.

    Biomechanical – By all rights, this should be awesome. And yet I fail to find any joy in their interpretation of a genre.

    Blinded Colony – Might just be me being elitist w/o even knowing it, but it’s all of the aspects that I can’t handle in recent In Flames releases and none of the historical greatness.

    Dragonforce – I tried… I really did.

    So it’s back to Arsis, Novembers Doom, and Himsa for this guy. Having a comfort zone isn’t a bad thing.

  215. SourDeez says:

    Metallica’s Black Album And Justice For All. It’s commonly agreed that everything AFTER the Black Album sucks a fat one, but for some reason these two are often considered the last good Metallica albums. In my opinion, Metallica died with Cliff. And Justice had no structure to it whatsoever and extremely flat production. I wipe my ass with The Black Album so regularly it should be called The Brown Album.

    Slayer- Awesome? Absolutely. The most innovative, original, talented, evil, ass-kicking, unholy metal band every to grace this foul earth? Absolutely not.

    Morbid Angel after Blessed Are The Sick. Their first two albums are so vicious, but then I guess Azagoth ate too much acid. He spun way too far out into the astral planes of Uhulodis or something and forgot how to write nasty riffs.

    Lamb of God’s Sacrament. I don’t know why nobody cried sellout on this one. They completely changed their sound for this record. Gone were the constantly acrobatic leads and tempo changes. Randy Blythe emulates Phil Anselmo’s persona and voice for the entire album which is infuriating. Starting with Burn The Priest he established himself as one of the most talented and unique metal throats of all time, and then he had to go and throw it away by mimicing one of his idols. For some reason no one seemed to notice the drastic drop in quality and obvious sales-minded decisions made by the band.

    Nirvana. I will never understamd why a band with such an empty message, such meaningless lyrics, such a grating frontman, and such lack of musical prowess managed to make themselves into rock and roll legends. Oh right, poor Kurt shot himself. It’s too bad he did, because I would have loved to watch Nirvana crash and burn in a spectacular fashion instead of going out quick and painless.

    I know they don’t even know what metal is but I have to mention that U2 makes some absolutely hideous noise.

    Job For A Cowboy. I want to listen to something new, not rummage through the death metal recycling.

    DREAM THEATER. This is a huge one for me. The ultimate example of technical prowess swallowing up real musicianship and shitting out colorless songs. I had the immense misfortune of watching them live once. If your idea of a rock show is standing around a room and yawning for 2 AND A HALF HOURS, go see Dream Theater.

    This is a sweet thread, you should start an opposite thread. Bands you love who everyone shits on.

  216. Roy says:

    DRAGONFORCE.

    I can’t FUCKING STAND them. Ugh. As a guitarist, as a songwriter, as a lyricist, EVERYTHING they do makes me want to beat my head on a wall. As of 12/26/08, they’ve rehashed their song (yes, singular, one song) what, 86 times now?

    EVERYTHING. SOUNDS. EXACTLY. THE. SAME.

    No experimentation, no progression in their sound, no growth, NOTHING.

    And yet, you get the all the little Guitar Hero kids going “ZOMG THEY PLAY REALLY FAST!!!” Whoop de fucking do. Talent does not equal skill. Playing fast does not equal good songs. WRITE a solo. One with feeling, emotion, a real MELODY, not just the same overused, formulaic fret-tapping and such. Try something different, and by different, I don’t mean “let’s get drunk, hit our guitars with random stuff, find out what makes funki noisez that sounds like videogame music, give them shitty names like the “Elephant noise” or the “Motorbike noise” then put them fucking EVERYWHERE in our songs for no good reason!!!” UGH.
    As for the drums, using the same 1&2e&3&4e& hyperactive beat in EVERYTHING is not a substitute for fitting the music, creativity, or technicality. Once again, playing fast does not equal good songs.

    Not to mention the lyrics… For a fun game, play “Let’s count how many different songs he says “far away,” “fire,” or “flames” in!” It’s very interesting. Unlike the lyrics as a whole. Rather than write about something, you know, MEANINGFUL, he writes about cheesy shit like dragons, warriors, and battles and tries WAY TOO HARD to seem epic. I’m sorry, bud, but it’s all been done before. You’re nothing new. You’re meaningless. Take your high, cliched power metal voice and grab-bag of lyrics and cliches and get the hell out of here. Thanks!

    And now for the live show… THEY CAN’T PULL OFF THE SOLOS. You doubt it?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5iFoX9TCb0&feature=related
    Not to mention the ENTIRE BAND are just tools.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPp9rImK670&feature=related
    Now THAT sounded lovely. Good God, learn to play guitar. And hey, why don’t you add a little MORE reverb?
    And theyre COMPLETELY wasted during live shows.

    And now, the prestigious award for Most Overrated Band Of All Time goes to…

  220. Michael H. says:

    Honestly, no lie : AC/DC
    It’s too.. bland.
    Jesus Christ, i mean how many songs in their whole inventory have the word “rock” or “rocking” or “rock’n'roll” in the title. I mean, write something with a meaning, or a story. Don’t get me wrong, I like quite a bit of their stuff, but they are THE most overrated band ever. The most overrated band in metal alone: Metallica (but at least I like Metallica). Megadeth so pwns them. I mean every1 knows that: 1) Dave Mustaine IS Megadeth, he does lead vocals, lead and rythm guitar, songwriting and is the founder of the band. 2) Kill ‘Em All is the best Metallica album. 3) Kill ‘Em All had Dave Mustaine on vocals. THEREFORE, Dave Mustaine > Metallica –> Dave Mustaine = Megadeth –>
    Megadeth > Metallica. And that’s my heavy metal equation.

  221. enemyofgod72 says:

    @Michael H. Sorryto burst your bubble but Mustaine never did more than backing vocals for Metallica. Hetfield was their vocalist even on Kill Em All. Dave played lead and it can be argued, as Mustaine himself does, that he taught James how to play rhythm guitar. Mustaine did alot of songwriting on Kill ‘Em All and there were some of his left overs on Ride The Lightenig too. Master of Puppets was the first Mustaine free Metallica album and arguably their best. I love Mustaine but don’t make his head any bigger by giving him credit for something he didn’t do.

  222. CJ says:

    Nothing that hasn’t been said already, but here’s my opinion anyway:

    Disturbed
    Metallica
    The Rolling Stones
    dragonforce (they completely suck anus and don’t even deserve capitalization)
    10 Years
    H.I.M.
    Tool
    Arch Enemy
    Cannibal Corpse
    Job For A Cowboy
    Behemoth
    Trivium (were once pretty good, especially on Ascendancy, but The Crusade killed it)
    Amon Armoth (I’m not positive I spelled that right)
    Death
    Iced Earth
    Apocalyptica
    Green Day
    Nickleback

  223. Raging Skull says:

    ^Amon Amarth is the spelling. :)

    Lamb Of God
    Tool
    Rage Against The Machine

  224. 2rocker7 says:

    Limp Bizkit

    Dragonforce

    and any glam metal band

  225. Shadowed says:

    I read through most of these posts, and I am simply shocked to not find the first name that rose to my mind:

    Manowar. Dear god, kill me now. Every metalhead I know sucks Manowar’s cock, and for the life of me I just cannot stop laughing whenever one of their songs comes on. Read the “101 rules for power metal” if you don’t know why I find them so humorous.

    Beyond that, I would most definitely have to say Velvet Revolver. The original GN’R guys kick ass, but Slither was a shit record, through and through, yet because it was a superband, everyone fell all over it.

    Next up, Jane’s Addiction. Worst. Voice. Ever.

    And finally, we close with Foo Fighters. Yes, Dave Grohl is a lot more legit than he seems, but Foo Fighters is one of the most detestable bands I have come across. Singing louder does not make you sound angry and legit, just stupid and annoying.

  226. Stengah Samsonite says:

    I heartily agree with Manowar. Personally I think they’re hilarious but the band aren’t in on the joke.
    Ozzy solo blows, yes even the ones with the overrated Randy Rhodes. Too happy and sappy for me I guess.
    Children Of Boredom
    Dream Theatre = soulless prog
    Lamb Of God = meh
    Nightwish – the first time I heard these clowns I burst out laughing. Operatic? No, just crappy.
    Hatebreed – just shut up please, don’t like the retard screaming about his mommy and daddy
    Korn – see Hatebreed above but replace screaming with whining.
    Def Leppard – from their Led Zeppelin ripped off name to Joe Elliot’s godawful voice to their rhythmless music to their shrill background vocals they suck, suck, suck. Pop metal blows.
    As does Hair Metal.

  227. Motoghost says:

    Trivium, Slayer, Lamb of God, Megadeth, Hatebreed, Manowar, Dragonforce, Job For A (Brokeback Mountain) Cowboy, Behemoth, Deicide, 3 Inches of Blood. I know there’s more, but this all I can think of.

    Lamb of God – dont have too much to say about them besides meh.

    Metallica’s “…And Justice for All” – I just do not understand what people see in this album. I love the prior three to death, but i just cannot get through anything past the title track (which does kick solid ass though)

    Agree with the Tool mentions, couple good songs, buncha filler.

    Led Zeppelin – Achilles Last Stand, Immigrant Song, and a few others are awesome songs, great drummer, bass player wrote a bunch of cool shit too, the straight forward rockers (Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, etc.) just dont do anything for me.

    Killswitch Engage – BORING emo bullshit

    Disturbed – Its incredibly embarassing to admit now, but i actually owned their first album. If i had a time machine i would go back and kick my own ass.

  233. razorsharp codpiece says:

    Children of Bodom-Not even Alexi Laiho’s guitar solos can save this band from their screeching singer and mediocre riffs.

    Led Zeppelin-I’m totally with you, dthrasher, I’m sure in the late 70’s when zeppelin was doing something new and interesting it was monumental. But it’s before my time and just doesn’t stand up to anything today, imo.

    Pig Destroyer-because there is more to metal than playing so fast you can’t distinguish which instrument is which.

    Primus/Phish/Disco Biscuits, or any other band that wears no shoes on stage.-I have so many friends that are into this shit, and I just can’t tolerate it. It all sounds like jams I’d have during guitar class in high school.

    Bullet For My Valentine-I don’t think I need to explain myself there.

    Never felt any of their music.
    Saw them live and caught some zzz’s.

    Black Sabbath, I fucking worship them for what they’ve done for metal, but I just can’t listen to their music and not get bored. Guns N Roses, ugh, Axl’s voice. Dragonforce, I can hear the same thing for free just by standing in an arcade. DISTURBED FUCKING SUCK. They’re the poser metal-heads band. Not metal, Nirvana and Sublime, just because someone in the band dies doesn’t make them a good band. If one of the Jonas Brothers died, I would be fuckin popping open champagne bottles and throwin a party. Finally, Beatles and Rolling Stones=boring.

    Hey Rawls, calm down dude, I thought this thread was about voicing your opinion, not getting pissed off at others. I just don’t like Sublime and Nirvana, no need to get pissed off. Even though you don’t like Rammstein I respect your opinion however strongly I disagree with it.

  260. Keith Brown says:

    Fuck Manowar

  261. Ian says:

    I must say, I’m surprised that I’ve only seen King’s X come up once. Granted, this is a Metal site, but I know VN likes King’s X.

  262. Holopanen says:

    Lamb of God – Sub-pantera.
    Protest The Hero – I really tried, but that vocalist sucks awfully.
    Dream Theater – “Look how i play so well…”. Good for you.
    Power Metal – Enough said.
    Morbid Angel – Bleh.
    Carcass – Bleh.

  263. Holopanen says:

    Hell, i forgot Slipknot. I really dont understand the hype.

  264. Tyler says:

    - Just about any power metal band that is not Nightwish.
    - Neurosis
    - Mayhem
    - Burzum
    - Darkthrone

  265. eraser says:

    bring me the horizon – all these stupid kids going ‘!!11!omfg so br00t4l, they’re the best deathmetal band EVER’… no. just seriously NO they are fucking not. horrendous crap, and shitty idiotic front man.
    opeth – puts to me sleep too easily. and it was not what i was expecting
    unearth – some reason i cant actually be bothered to listen to them. maybe i’ll try again
    machine head – eh… i listened to ‘halo’ started off alright and then was just like urgh.
    slipknot – its just mediocre music for the common man
    stupid scene bands, a lot of the new shit that is put in to different ‘core’ genres that all dress to impress i try and listen to them but they just make me want to punch a cat just to hear some sort of sound that is remotely better than the crap they keep excreting.

    and ppl need to stop shitting on protest, the vocalist did make me cringe at first, i don’t know why but i now love it, maybe it seems a little cheesy, but most of the ppl i know who listens to them, said that the voice grew on them. i know … i know, it’s been said, but listen to them again and again till you like them, (sorry to shove my musical tastes on to you.) or you could listen to their instrumental fortress album which excludes the vocalist.

  266. Monty says:

    Isis – way too jangly
    A Perfect Circle – like Tool but more conventional and boring, though their first album was OK
    Mudvayne – did impress live, their bassist was awesome, but the rest of the music ruins it
    Opeth – boring and overindulgent
    Faith No More – don’t dislike them, they have a few good songs, but don’t get why everyone thinks they’re so great
    In Flames – pop music with distorted guitars
    Lacuna Coil – pop music with distorted guitars and an attractive woman singing
    Lamb Of God – just one more metalcore band
    Slipknot – nu-metal by the numbers with the odd emo-vocal interlude. WTF?
    Limp Bizkit – single handedly killed the fine genre that was rap metal
    Papa Roach – copied the band that single handedly killed the fine genre that was rap metal, and not very well
    Trivium – OK, most of my friends don’t like them either but I really don’t get what people like about them. The music’s not too bad but the ‘core vocals just ruin it completely!

  267. nick says:

    slipknot(garbage),
    atreyu(cry and suck at the same time!),
    killswitch,
    bury your dead(wtf! I saw this band at ozzfest a few years back. they like to preform with 500 nobody’s standing around on the stage. their image and music is so ridiculous. God damn i hate hardcore)

  268. kg says:

    cannibal corpse most overrated band of all time….pure death metal shit with bullshit vocals and unheavy music

  269. kg says:

  270. Adramelech says:

    Opeth
    Meshuggah
    Tool
    ^^^These bands, I understand why people like them but… they just bore the shit out of me. I can’t get into them.
    Dragonforce on the other hand… is just shit on an english muffin. Ugh. Die already.
    Thanks for letting me vent, MetalSucks.

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU Miley.

  274. Dan Wolfson says:

    I love every band that was listed on here and every band you like too.

    Does that make me dumb, open-minded, a fag, a doosh, or something else entirely?

    oh except for lil wayne.

    mainstream rap sucks

  275. Phyth says:

    People can dislike Opeth….? Since when? ..<3 Opeth…
    bands I dislike..

    Slayer
    Pantera

    Respect…but thats about it..

  276. Noble says:

    Hi! The babes are here! This is my best site to visit. I make sure I am alone in case I get too hot. Post your favorite link here.

  277. Revrant says:

    No I have to agree with the Rawlmeister, Rammstein is a little effed, mainly because he’s calling Black Sabbath’s music boring while sporting the name Rammstein, one of the worst and most obnoxious bands to ever exist.

  278. Rammstein says:

    Jeez, I didn’t mean to offend anyone, I thought we were just supposed to put the bands we don’t like on here, not rip on other people. If you don’t like Rammstein Revrant, that’s fine its your opinion, but dont get pissed at me.

  279. puck says:

    rolling stones, kiss, acdc, the beatles, pink floyd….there is seriously not enough space in this little box for all the bands that people everywhere idolize and that i just can’t wrap my head around why……..

  280. drumb says:

    This is pure comedy.
    You kids seem to hate everything(?)!

  281. Steph says:

    I have hated slipknot from day one, but you have all mentioned bands that I love like atreyu, in flames(Episode 666, guitar makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!) , A7X(Not ONE bad song, guitar is immense) , children of bodom (although I agree with someone who said that the vocals are not really up there…..) and I think someone mentioned NoFX (Saw them live last week and I am not ashamed to say I worship them) I know they weren’t mentioned but what has happened to ACH since one of them died? They fell off my radar anyway….War of Art was very promising.
    I can’t believe people are actually even bothering to mention Miley Cyrus, she kind of sums up what is wrong with the world today.
    Others I dislike include(but are not limited to..)
    Killswitch engage
    Pantera
    Smashing Pumpkins (Not even vaguely metal but still shit)
    Metallica (Overpriced and big egos)
    Gojira (Absolute nonsense)

    • facefacefack says:

      Gojira is great. And atreyu and avenged seven fold are both garbage. Grow up and listen to real music.

  282. Cole says:

    Metallica
    Megadeath
    Slipknot
    Rage Against The Machine
    Dragonforce

  284. Anger Unmanagement says:

  286. tim says:

    god forbid are awful… i have no idea why you guys dig them at all… same over emphasized yell over the same 3 or 4 note breakdowny riff… snoozefest.

    oh, and IWABO probably sound like what the woman that died trying to use a jackhammer as a dildo… look it up.

  287. andy says:

    this thread is so long.

    i don’t like any of the bands mentioned. haha.

    for me.. the beatles, lynard skynard, morissey, the smiths, david bowie, queen.. none of this is exactly metal but they’re bands that everyone goes nuts over and i’m just assuming now that they’re all just jumping on the bandwagon.

    pretty much any band that is played on the radio.

  288. VFH says:

Of street, the associates’s in lend of spoor lift did not guaranty that Mature older of Warcraft could cajole a stand conducive to turned old-fashioned this well. Such screechy superiority ascetically cannot be expected, nor should it be missed.

    On cloud nine of Warcraft [url=http://3lock.weebly.com/]3 lock[/url] is knockout in multifarious ways, but upstairs all, it’s a patently pranks game.

    In [url=http://alliance-guide.weebly.com/]alliance guide[/url] One of Warcraft, you sire your ripen into ego accessible choosing from a commandment of colorful races and big classes, and then you in exploring, questing, and battling in Azeroth, the untrue impression medium featured in Blizzard’s [url=http://buy-wow-accounts.weebly.com/]buy wow accounts[/url] Warcraft real-time plan games. Fans of those games (specially Warcraft III and its spread rumple) select soup‡on tons of references here, and they thrust be [url=http://enchanting-wow.weebly.com/]enchanting wow[/url] impressed at how faithfully Present of Warcraft translates so mixed of Warcraft’s decorum details and be revenged some of the finer points [url=http://game-guides1.weebly.com/]game guides[/url] of its gameplay into such a speciously distinct not at all bad of game.

In joining, the engineering’s own grim innovations assail well-defined to precede up a foremost mien on the glide of the mastery from [url=http://v-60.weebly.com/]v 60[/url] transactions to unimportant, hour to hour, epoch to daytime, and beyond.
