Most overrated band

[steep hill]

Im open

It feels like 2010 dubstep synth

[warped flicker]

Polyphia's early stuff is okay but the stuff off of Remember That You Will Die fucks

[warped flicker]

Based Scott Pilgrim pfp

[obtuse scarab]

That is so not true that literally only because of the whole stranger things shit 💀

[steep hill]

thx

[sick rain]

Van Halen is overrated as HEEELLLLLL

No good songs

[royal loom]

i mean,their playing god is good,but “G.O.A.T” is just random notes put together.Their technical skill is godlike,but in musicality,its just bad.It can be only me though,because for the same reason,i dont like “Eruption” by eddie van halen.Skilled,but not good

[steep hill]

Sometimes, less is more

[patent river]

Oh and MOP is way overused, its great but. Like. Jeez

[obtuse scarab]

Agreed

[boreal valley]

Radiohead

[median surge]

Sublime but they‘re still one of my favorites

And silverchair a little bit

[gritty stirrup]

i agree silverchair is overrated asf

[median surge]

Oka

[prisma bramble]

Blink 182

[median surge]

Yeah kinda

[median surge]

Justin chancellor is underrated

[boreal valley]

Blink 182 overrated²

No actually

Blink 182 is so overrated that it requires a whole other word that hasn't even been invented yet

[boreal valley]

Listen to the live version of Pure Massacre it's fuckin awesome

[late light]

Green day

[random thorn]

dont confuse overrated with overplayed

I am obviously biased, but man, they have so many good albums

DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall, Animals, Meddle, etc

if DSOTM isn't a perfect album, idk what is

[nimble lion]

They have a lot of really impressive music, but it's not necessarily as fun to listen to

[random thorn]

guess we have different taste then

have you watched the movie the wall?

[nimble lion]

Yeah

[random thorn]

I watched it recently

changed my whole idea of it

crazy experience

[nimble lion]

I respect Pink Floyd fans, I'm just not one of them lol

And nah, I haven't seen it yet

[random thorn]

if you ever wanna check it out, it's free on youtube. Unfortunately not the best quality, but it is WILD

[nimble lion]

I've seen the music video for the song

There's a 4K version

I do love that song

[random thorn]

I had no idea what the bricks in the wall meant until I watched the movie

each brick is like something contributing to Pink's insanity, the main character in the movie/album

Like his dad dying in the war, or him sabotaging his relationship

[nimble lion]

Oh wow, that actually sounds pretty interesting

I'll have to check it out sometime

[random thorn]

and eventually he just gets so crazy, he doesnt care anymore, so in the song "In The Flesh" he basically just wishes for everyone to die because he doesnt care anymore

it's a really odd movie, I would not have been able to figure it out if it wasn't for my dad explaining some parts

but once I understood, especially towards the end, wooow.

[nimble lion]

Oh cool, I had heard of the movie, but I only had vague descriptions of the plot lol

This makes a lot more sense

[random thorn]

movie definitely helps with context. I remember listening to the album before and wondering why there is "In The Flesh?" and "In The Flesh"

his father was killed in the war, and later on in the movie, after a wall has been placed around him, he basically turns into the same people that killed his father, because of how crazy he's gotten

[nimble lion]

Oh interesting

[random thorn]

the movie doesnt explain any of that though, it was really confusing to me until my dad explained it. There's really no dialogue, and there are a lot of flashbacks

so you keep seeing him as a kid and as an adult, back and forth

[nimble lion]

Oh, yeah, that would be weird. Super "artsy" movies like that aren't normally my thing, I need the story spoon-fed to me lol. Brick in the Wall sounds like it's cool tho

[random thorn]

definitely odd but also unique, if I ever did drugs I would probably watch that movie haha

[nimble lion]

I feel like that's the mentality of Pink Floyd fans /j

[random thorn]

that movie really changed my perspective on some stuff. Also made me question how someone could come up with those songs and that movie at such a young age

[nimble lion]

Pink Floyd were definitely artists

[random thorn]

the album came first, I wonder how long Roger Waters was holding in his concept of the movie and wanting to get it done before finally doing it

[nimble lion]

Not my thing, but objectively they were good

[random thorn]

because iirc, he came up with the story/movie idea first

and then wrote the album based on that

[nimble lion]

Oh cool, I wonder if the album was what funded the movie

[random thorn]

maybe, I don't think it had a big budget

[nimble lion]

I see

[random thorn]

12 million in 1982, so about 39 million today

[nimble lion]

Oh yeah, that's a lot for movies nowadays

I'm sure Roger Waters pitched to a bigger movie studio and they did all the funding and stuff, but still

[random thorn]

yeah probably something like that, by that point Pink Floyd was already a pretty big band, DSOTM came out before The Wall

[nimble lion]

Oh, I guess I didn't realize that

I always thought that was the album that made them big

[random thorn]

idk exactly what made them big, I'm sure they were already popular before DSOTM, Meddle came out a couple years before DSOTM and they did some stuff before that too

but IDK how popular yet

[wicked remnant]

I might die but RHCP pretty much overrated

[tawdry ridge]

@lethal bridge

[lethal bridge]

not entirely wrong

@tawdry ridge

I think their mainstream stuff is overrated tbh

but the classic RHCP stuff is underrated

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is one of the best albums of the 90s no doubt

whether you're a fan of the band or not

such a unique sound and incredible musicianship, they really found what made them stand out as a band and honed in on it perfectly

it's a masterpiece

but their new stuff is kinda wack lmao

the 80s stuff has some hidden gems

it's really fun but I do see that it's a lot more niche

and the post 2000 era stuff is kinda overrated sometimes yeah

I see a lot of die hard RHCP fanboys fawn over mid songs

even the deep cuts off BSSM blow their newer hits out of the water

they went from a really cool punk-funk fusion band to just another pop rock band

@wicked remnant

[meager fractal]

nirvana or ac dc

[agile heron]

queen

and nirvana, i like their stuff a lot but they're not as good as people saying

[boreal valley]

Doesn't overrated mean they have to be kinda crap?

[tawdry ridge]

even if it did, that's not gonna stop 12yos from dropping their piss-warm takes about the biggest bands of the 20th century

[gritty stirrup]

Pearl jam is so overrated

[simple lotus]

Megadeth, Slayer, All Black Metal Bands and .... U2

But tbh, I found that bands with most toxic fandoms in rock music history are Nirvana and The Beatles

Say anything bad about Kurt Cobain, and Nirvana Fanboys will burn you with fire

And in case of The Beatles fandom.... They really hate Oasis, always must to say that "The Beatles are better than The Rolling Stones" and they fight against Pink Floyd fandom over .... Again .... What band is better

I like The Beatles music, but they fandom makes me sick

[obtuse scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-gun-lol-gif-8797078074154776895

[wooden mica]

I gotta be honest. I think it’s definitely got to be one of the big four. Everyone says slayer, and I think they’re completely wrong. I think maybe Metallica, or maybe Megadeth. Overrated in music and not influence that is. I love Metallica, but their only good stuff is their early stuff, and Megadeth has some good stuff but most of it is mid.

[warped flicker]

Megadeth would be good if Johnny Gioeli sang for them

Dave's voice only works for like, Skin O' My Teeth

And even then Johnny would prob do it better

[scenic dawn]

Yea for sure

Damn didn’t realize you said that in 2022

[tawdry jacinth]

Bruh

[tawdry jacinth]

Ikr

Ok I’m one of the ogs tuning back in. What’s the consensus pf the most overrated band

[naive robin]

AC/DC, Thunderstruck in particular. Everyone knows the opening part of it and whenever you have a guitar they ask you to play that like it’s special or something.

[tawdry ridge]

either the beatles or nirvana depending which flavour of edgy zoomer you ask

[vital python]

And it's still true today 😂

[scenic dawn]

Yea I don’t really even like the song

I like don’t stop me now more

Much better song

[crisp helm]

Cap

Cap

[boreal valley]

Nirvana have been my favourite band for years and honestly idc what people say about em

[copper whale]

Nahh ain't no way

You rarely even hear about KISS they're underrated 😭

[tawdry ridge]

i typed it and you can't make me untype it!!!!

[calm crystal]

Nirvana imo 🫣 (I just don’t like them)

[sudden root]

Polyphia. Talented individuals for sure, but music lives in the space between notes. Sounds like further amplified elevator music.

[lunar pagoda]

Tool

Maybe Beatles because they are terrible but to their credit they were revolutionary

[umbral pelican]

What makes them terrible?

[lunar pagoda]

They have skill but are terrible at making songs

[umbral pelican]

💀

[umbral pelican]

That's kind of funny, because they basically invented how songs are written

[lunar pagoda]

Yes

That’s why I said they deserve the credit

They innovated

But made bad music

[umbral pelican]

so is it the lyrics you don't like or something?

[lunar pagoda]

Their entire style and sound is horrid

One of the only bands I actually hate the sound of

[warm zephyr]

Mayhem. I like most of their albums. but most of them are just live albums with the same songs. not to mention the guitarist used a photo of a dead body as an album cover. and they had a bass player who burned down churches, and there are better black metal bands in general. its a good starter to the black metal genre. but as you dig further down, you'll be able to find way better bands like bathory and venom.

[sudden root]

Compared to who? I'm not ragging on you, just curious.
It's interesting since it's mainly younger people (25 and younger) who don't like the beatles, so I'm just curious what your frame of reference is.
I partly agree... not all their songs are the cream of the crop, but they have some bangers IMO - for their time period.

[lunar pagoda]

I agree for their time they were good

[north dock]

Nirvana 💀

[vast flax]

Slipknot

[odd vine]

personally i love nirvana

except their incesticide album, most overrated is by far pearl jam to me

actually no scratch that

lynrd skynrd

ew

only one good riff

and one over played country song

[gritty stirrup]

ngl tool

after their first album they suck

[warped flicker]

after their first album they suck

Ftfy

[full thorn]

AC/DC

[gritty stirrup]

😭

[fringe coral]

The Offspring

[umbral pelican]

I think they're just better green day

[vast meadow]

Nirvana.

[sudden root]

☝️ Yes, agree 100%
They were not terrible by any means, but highly overrated IMO.

[upper osprey]

Thank you

[strong depot]

Ghost

[peak gull]

^

AC/DC sounds like a rat on crack

[sudden root]

Ghost overrated?? No way. If anything, their guitar-riffs are underrated.

[full thorn]

Yes

[warped flicker]

As a band they're overrated

[umbral pelican]

how else could they be rated?

[sudden root]

How so? Any particular reasons?

[warped flicker]

They sound like modern day kiss

Who are, with the exception of a couple songs, also overrated

[sudden root]

Ok, but what does "overrated" mean? By what metrics is "overrated" measured?
The song structure, the lyrics, the song content?

[warped flicker]

Their music sounds copy/paste

[sudden root]

From who?

[warped flicker]

Both really

Moreso Kiss

[sudden root]

From Kiss and Kiss?

I'm not ragging on you, just curious why you think so.

[restive widget]

They are like KISS lmao, make themselves look metal and evil but the music is underwhelmingly soft

[warped flicker]

What I mean by copy/paste is that it sounds like they did one thing and haven't really gone past that one thing

[restive widget]

Also the fictional band lore thing I don’t get

[warped flicker]

They're copy/pasting from themselves

[restive widget]

Interesting

[sudden root]

I would even partly agree to that... the first time I heard them, they were definitely NOT what I was expecting.
They do have an interesting song structure and tone though.

[sudden root]

Pretty much all bands do that though, right?

[warped flicker]

Not the good ones. Obviously there's gonna be a bit of a "signature sound" that comes through no matter what because that's that particular player's sound, but if your new album sounds like it's inspiration was your last album I feel like something's gone a bit wrong

[peak gull]

never got that either

[peak gull]

Dont see how the beatles are overrated though

[peak gull]

I also don't get how you hate a sound that invented a lot of how music is today

you either hate a lot of music today

or you hate things like their vocal style

[warped flicker]

Some people do

And a lot of people who do tend to take pride in the fact that they do

[sudden root]

I hear what you're saying. However, if you listen to the discography of a lot of popular bands now or in the past, you'll see that this copy and pasting does apply to more bands than you think.

A lot of Iron Maiden sounds similar after a while, so does AC/DC, Motorhead, Dream Theatre, Megadeth, etc. And I would consider all of them good ones and love them for it, because they created the inspiration for a lot of stuff that came after.
Kiss also inspired tons of great bands, for instance.

Country music sounds exactly the same as well, yet it's still a thriving genre.

Any kind of club music and hip hop now sounds pretty interchangeable, yet people still flock to clubs and concerts to hear the same beats over and over again.

Even the Ramones sounded very similar in all their songs - yet they inspired thousands of players and bands as well...

Bad Religion, Bon Jovi (Living on a Prayer and Have a nice day are pretty much identical)

Amon Amarth, and finally ZZ Top - same three guys were playing the same chords for 40 years.

As for Ghost. I get you. But the way I think of it is that the first album was meant to sound like an early 70s heavy metal album, the next two sound like mid-late 70s metal/rock records, the two after that sound like 80s records. Just like most 70s rock bands changed their sound for the 80s (think Queen, Yes, Genesis etc.), so have Ghost along their own fictional arc.

[warped flicker]

Honestly I've never liked AC/DC, ZZ Top, or Bon Jovi for exactly that reason

[peak gull]

Ramones isn't that much of a good band

I listen to one of their songs

[warped flicker]

Can't comment on Ramones

[peak gull]

AC/DC

is for sure

but hey

that's due to vocal style more than anything

Also I heavily agree that club music

and hiphop is interchangeable

[sudden root]

Good is subjective. Not a big fan of theirs either, but can't deny the impact their simple sound had on Rock, and especially Punk music, which still has ripple effects even today.

[peak gull]

Good can be objective and subjective

in the context of music

subjective

I dont think they're a good band

because of vocal quality

but that's supposed to be the engineers job

to mix and master things properly

Ramones dont sound like they have their vocals mixed and mastered properly

[sudden root]

I would totally agree with you on the vocals.
The mixing of vocals is a lot easier today than at that time, and people preferred a much more raw and rather unprocessed sound - particularly in that genre.

[peak gull]

Even back then you still had

Reverb

Vocal layering

you've always had those kinds of things

you aint gonna sound like T pain

Raw is great

I just like Raw when it sounds like its on a studio recording

and not a snowball microphone

for working at home

But that's again the engineers fault

they're supposed to handle those kinds of things

Still a great rock band

who makes good music

cant get one of their songs out of my head

but there's some factors onto considering it to be good

As far as hiphop

Im actually surprised you noticed it

glad you pointed it out even

but that's the problem with their genre

Theme: Drugs Sex Money Murder

Instruments: Whatever we like to (Sample) With 808 Drums Snares and Kicks behind the 808s

Easy to find hiphop songs outside of this theme

harder to find songs outside of the theme that's actually considered to be good

[sudden root]

Hahahahha. Yep. Well-said. I still remember the old days R&B, Hip Hop, when there was still a noticeable difference and at times actually good music behind it all. Warren G, Nate Dog, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, etc. They pretty much all had something to say and their music was unique.

Now, as you said, it's all:
Yo, look at me, got the money, got the honeys, got my gun, so you betta run....

[peak gull]

None of it is unique today

kinda makes me upset

I can honestly agree it was even harder to make music like that back then

now its easy

almost too easy

I can pop open Fl Studio and make that kind've music today if i want to

[sudden root]

Yep. There's a few independents here and there with some good songs, but nothing like back in the days.
That's exactly the problem. The bars for entry (pretty much in all genres) have been lowered so much that there's too much crap flooding the market and preventing the few good things to come through.

[peak gull]

Overall though still good genres in their respective rights

[sudden root]

Yeah, nothing against them per se.

[peak gull]

I listen to a few country songs so

hey

Country music is on the very end

of my favorite genres

[peak gull]

I cant even say anything mostly about this list

Kinda dont like metal

I dont even like shredding

i like short Bursts of it

you go more than 7-8 seconds

you're going too far

[sudden root]

To each their own, right? I tend to feel the exact same about bands like Polyphia which just sounds like computer-generated elevator prog to me.
Amazing ability, but - at least for me - the music is lacking something essential. Can stomach one song at a time, but after that it loses its lustre.

[peak gull]

NOW THAT ONE

is heavily agreed upon

Polyphia to be is garbage

you can pick a million notes

and be proper

you can have proper technique all you like

not that its a bad thing

but im not gonna put that over making use with the simple things

Knowing how to play guitar and knowing how to play music is 2 different things as they say

It sounds like you were just trying to say you put out a song

[sudden root]

Absolutely! I've said it before and I'll say it every time... B.B King, and Gilmore, for example can say a LOT more with ONE note than the kid from Polyphia with 1000 notes.

[peak gull]

exactly

I guess it depends on goals though

Feel vs technique

i just choose not to put the vs concerning myself

I might turn to hybrid picking

[sudden root]

Yeah, that's the vibe I get from the kid as well. Rich kid who wants to show off what he can do simply to feed the already inflated ego.
Just my opinion, just the vibe I get from him.
Great technique for sure, but he's just doing the technique pyrotechnics for the sake of doing it.
If you compare it to EVH 's Eruption, for instance, which absolutely floored people back in the days, Eddie had great phrasing and let certain notes breathe or accentuated the right notes at the right time because he truly felt it at that moment, and it shows... There's a certain dynamic in that solo, that's utterly lacking in Polyphia's stuff.

[peak gull]

i dont think anyone who's been playing guitar for at least 2 years

actually likes Polyphia

[sudden root]

Hahahah. Touché

[warped flicker]

As someone who's been playing for 11, I enjoy their music

[sudden root]

Not here to hate on them (too much) - they do have their place for some, and I think it's great that they have inspired more people recently to pick up the guitar, which is always a good thing; but I also hope that after the initial "wow-effect" has worn off and people learn more about guitar music, that they'll find much better guitar music.

[warped flicker]

I think it's awesome seeing people take the instrument to the limit of what it can do, and they have some katchy songs

[lunar pagoda]

I don’t but all they did was re invent how music was made not the style

[peak gull]

Nobody invented music really except for people who invented music theory overall

and added advanced towards it

[lunar pagoda]

Beatles re invented how music was made

[peak gull]

but you still called them innovative

which a lot of people borrowed from

im just confused

you agree that they're innovative

[lunar pagoda]

Yes

[peak gull]

you also agree that a lot of music

today borrows from it

[lunar pagoda]

But they make bad music

[peak gull]

exactly

so

most music is bad today

right

[lunar pagoda]

No

[peak gull]

and that's

the part im confused about

[lunar pagoda]

They innovated how songs were made

But they made bad songs

[peak gull]

what are

we even calling bad

not only that

[lunar pagoda]

Any song they made

[peak gull]

but again that's confusing

[sudden root]

That style of music has been around for a very long time, but they just use an arpeggiator to make the music by computer and then learn to play it.

Someone who was one of the pioneers of that style of music (before it was called "Math Rock") was Michael Hedges. His Album Aerial Boundaries put it more in the mainstream. Ability-wise, he was at least on the same level, but he had something they are missing....

[peak gull]

if they innovated

how a lot of music is today

[lunar pagoda]

Yeah

[peak gull]

then how is that music

not also bad

[lunar pagoda]

Not how it is

How it’s made

[peak gull]

well

what are they doing differently

[lunar pagoda]

They are bad musicians

[peak gull]

you aren't making sense here

I get you saying they're bad

I dont get what you're saying is bad

[lunar pagoda]

Cus they are bad musicians

[peak gull]

This is a circle

are they bad because they're bad

?

[lunar pagoda]

No

[peak gull]

then what are you calling bad

exactly

what about their music

[lunar pagoda]

They innovated how music was made but they are atrocious musicians

[peak gull]

again

i get that you're saying they're bad

i dont GET

what you're CALLING bad

[warped flicker]

It is possible to feel like the predecessor of something is bad while still liking what came from it

Or generally disliking it

[peak gull]

Heavily agreed upon

except he hasn't stated what he's calling bad

so its a very general statement to make

I cant specify what's different that makes the predecessor bad in comparsion

[warped flicker]

Maybe they just don't like the music, and so it sounds bad to them

[peak gull]

because there's nothing in specific

[lunar pagoda]

I said they are bad musicians

Several times

[peak gull]

Musicians is still general

Musician doesn't even specify what genre of music

[lunar pagoda]

Bro

[peak gull]

that's why im confused

because you again have no specified what you mean

the things that i called bad i specified

I dont like certain things because (vocal style)

I even asked you if you didn't like them because of vocal styles

anything specific to differentiate

[lunar pagoda]

I specified

All of them are bad musicians

[peak gull]

again

that's not specific

If I say you're bad at video games

in not specifiying what makes you bad

I didn't specify things like aim

All I said what that you're bad which is general because it can refer to numerous categories someone can be bad at

[lunar pagoda]

Bad at playing their instruments

It’s really that simple

[peak gull]

You just reversed it to the very definition of a musician

really you just said the same thing

[lunar pagoda]

Your going in circles even tho I already explained

[peak gull]

Define a Musician

[lunar pagoda]

Someone who plays an instrument

[peak gull]

So its not illogical

if I see this as you saying bad at being a musician

because it is the exact same thing

one of a the word of the definition

and one with the definition itself

would you agree?

[lunar pagoda]

Holy shit bro

Stop going in circles I already explained 15 times

[peak gull]

no no

answer the question

i just asked you

[sudden root]

Have to interject here. Let's put it this way... just because someone knows some vocabulary in a language doesn't make them a good speaker of that language, right?

[peak gull]

agreed

[sudden root]

That's how I see Polyphia. Just my opinion, but they have the vocabulary, but that doesn't make them eloquent speakers.

[peak gull]

I agree

I think its skill not music

You can listen to a song and know where its going

you might see that as a bad thing but also without it

its just confusing

there has to be a line between knowing where music is going and knowing when to drop something unexpectedly good in a solo or something

[sudden root]

Yes... that's called phrasing.

[peak gull]

bingo

only

You can actually state what's bad with a song

I dont think Rat can

[sudden root]

Well, to be fair, I have 30+ years experience with music. 😄

[peak gull]

you ever fingerpick

[sudden root]

I play Flamenco, so yes... definitely

[peak gull]

How do you ever palm mute

while still playing

[sudden root]

It's possible, you need to learn to control your fingers (picking hand) independently. A lot of times in Flamenco, you'll use a finger to mute the string after picking it.
Have to be honest and say that when playing flamenco style or other fingerpickign styles, I personally don't do much muting with the palm, but it's certainly possible. Because you're developing more control over that hand (and more independent control of fingers), so you've got more to use than just the meat of your palm

Mark Knopfler actually does some very interesting muting (palm and fingers) in his playing.

[peak gull]

it has to be possible

that's what I figured

thank you

[sudden root]

No worries!
If you're into that style, I'd suggest start with finger independence exercises. So play the old: PIMA (Pulgar = Thumb), Index, Middle (medio), and (anular) patterns.
Thumb controls top three strings, and the fingers underneath are kind of staggered and control the strings 3, 2, 1.

Play your thumb first on the 6th string, then IMA, then the thumb on the 5th, followed by IMA, then the 4th, IMA, and back up.

Do that until it feels natural and fluent.

Key thing is to not lift your fingers off the string too much and keep it smooth and concise. Sounds easy, but takes a bit to get it down.

[peak gull]

Im home rn

with my guitar in hand

so ill try rn

[sudden root]

You can then experiment with tilting your right wrist a bit to mute the thumb strokes. It'll get more difficult from about string 4, so the 3rd, 2nd and 1st are usually not palm-muted during fingerpicking.

The other muting is done - if needed - by the fingers of the fretting hand.

[peak gull]

Works for me

good exercise

[sudden root]

Cheers!! Great to hear that! 👍

[peak gull]

thank you again

[sudden root]

No worries!

[simple lotus]

True

[obtuse scarab]

🗣️

[obtuse scarab]

It kind of sounds like what your old gym middle school gym teacher would play when they would make us run laps

[sudden root]

Hahahahah. Well-said!

[versed sorrel]

only queen’s hits are overrated

90% of queen’s catalogue is criminally underrated

nobody talks about them outside of their hits

[civic pivot]

Linkin park- no matter how much people love them, their riffs are kinda bland imo

[umbral pelican]

I agree, and their lyrics are kind of cringe

[hidden river]

you can say their guitar part are underrated or bad, the band as whole is pretty good

[fluid peak]

I disagree with this

I think you need to listen to the entirety of hybrid theory and meteora, there are tons of good songs that people don’t know unless they’re a fan because they arnt in the end or numb

[thorn star]

Deftones

[upper osprey]

as a Deftones fan

yeah

[gritty stirrup]

no way you listened to A thousand suns, The hunting party, and one more light and thought they were good

[austere jewel]

as a linkin park fan myself, i do agree, a good amount of riffs are pretty bland and basic

they focus more on the feel tho so i can't blame them on keeping the simplicity

[obtuse scarab]

no matter how little appreciated daughtry is or has ever been

it's still an undeserved amount

[warped flicker]

Who?

[gritty stirrup]

never even heard of these guys how can they be overrated

[spiral flower]

probably metallica, i love their music and theyre one of my favorites, but there are bands that such hit so much better

[gritty stirrup]

Lowkey agree like they are good but not that good

[torpid seal]

I'm seeing a lot of emo hate wth we do?????
Anyways fucking limp bizkit mid as fuck

Oh and pantera

[gritty stirrup]

Have ass music

[torpid seal]

I mean music is personal opinion but most of emos do relate to the songs in one way or another shrugs

[warped flicker]

Real

Dime's tone sucked

[torpid seal]

THANK YOU HES SO OVERATED

[scenic dawn]

Like Megadeth

I don’t think Metallica is overated but everyone can have there opinions

[upper osprey]

you take this back

[candid quiver]

slipknot

[quasi lotus]

I Second your opinion

[steel stump]

💀

[wintry rivet]

david bowie's most songs are ass

some are good but his albums are just some weird songs with corny lirycs and weird sounds

[candid quiver]

fr

[celest marten]

mayhem

[slow vine]

Buddy is currently listening to drake

And now lil uzi vert, bro just listens to poop.

Lorna shore fucking sucks and is overrated

[tawny idol]

listen i love fall out boy, but fall out boy

[warped flicker]

That doesn't change the fact that Tool is overrated

[lofty summit]

ACDC ngl

[lunar pagoda]

It’s literally the worlds most overrated band

They are good

But people act like they are insane

[slow vine]

They are pretty nuts

And literally every band ever has people that say they are the best band ever

[lunar pagoda]

Ain’t nobody every said nickelback is the best band ever

And if they did

It was sarcasm

[slow vine]

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about nickelback that way

[lethal bridge]

Nickelback is good

honestly

the hate is too much

[agile thorn]

Slipknot is pretty damn overrated

For a band that writes this basically, there's absolutely no reason there should be 9 fucking members

System of a down is so much better and unique

[agile thorn]

Cannot for the life of me understand the hard on ppl have for floods

Although far beyond driven makes me wanna hurt someone and that's awesome

[agile thorn]

They are good if ur high on hallucinogen

[lunar pagoda]

Real

[agile thorn]

Bring me the horizon is pretty damn overrated

Slayer too

[torpid seal]

I just don't get the hype and I don't think that dime bag was as good as people make him out to be

[agile thorn]

Pantera helped redefine and influence metal in a shit ton of ways with their sound and attitude in the 90's. They have a number of undeniable classics

[torpid seal]

Wasn't*

[agile thorn]

But most of their catalogue is not very good

[torpid seal]

I mean yea every band has their classics

[agile thorn]

Yeah but pantera has metal classics

Not just band classics

[torpid seal]

Ehhhhhh

[agile thorn]

Domination studio version sounds like utter ass

Far beyond driven is their best album

A lot of weird shit on that album

[warped flicker]

Honestly I thought far beyond driven sucked lol

Enough for me to just throw it out and not bother selling it

[agile thorn]

Why?

[warped flicker]

Apart from Dime's tone, 90% of the riffs are meh

[agile thorn]

Wdyt of ajfa then?

[warped flicker]

Dogshit mixing, okay guitar tone, some of the songs are a bit too long, but it's a better album than Far Beyond Driven by a longshot

[agile thorn]

I mean yeah it has a dogshit mix but i can't help but love the rawness and the thickness of the guitar tone.

Yeah songs like harvester of sorrow and eye of the beholder are just to show off the tone more than anything

[slow vine]

Horrible band live unfortunately

[slow vine]

There’s no ehh. Whether you like Pantera or not they objectively have a shit ton of timeless metal classics

[agile thorn]

Wow

[slow vine]

What

[agile thorn]

Controversial opinion

I mean ik this is called overrated bands

Wait nvm

U said live

Idk how i didn't read that

[warped flicker]

What thickness? There's no low end in the mix at all. It's like they took all the low end frequencies on the mixing console and put em to zero

It's all midrange and treble

[agile thorn]

Opposite of midrange actually. They jacked up the bass by 10, put mids at pretty much 0 and put treble high as well. Giving you a really heavy ass tone even tho they're playing in standard tuning

Playing bass against this guitar tone would make pretty much no difference in sound. If anything, it would sound worse

Not defending the exclusion of bass, just that the guitar tone they dialed makes recording bass unnecessary

I mean just listen to the bridge section in blackened

[warped flicker]

Dude

What sort of copium are you huffing

Like genuinely

No kind of guitar dialing can make recording bass unnecessary lmao

[high fossil]

disturbed, metallica, green day

[umbral pelican]

down with the syndrome

[restive widget]

I disagree

I’ve listened to the album with the bass turned up

Blackened with bass turned up makes the guitars sound more powerful

The guitar tone is already pretty heavy but without the bass it just loses that edge in the mix

[lusty pagoda]

maroon 5

they're so mid

[lusty pagoda]

😭 green day bruh??? seriously? nah thats crazy

[high fossil]

They’re not bad but they’re overrated a bit

[warped flicker]

I feel like they get points for releasing 3 whole albums just to make a pun, but that's just me

[lofty summit]

wakt

what?

[lusty pagoda]

okay maybe

[high fossil]

same with metallica, theyre alright but overplayed

disturbed is shit tho

[lusty pagoda]

yeah i agree

[warped flicker]

¡uno!, ¡dos!, ¡tré! was essentially a 3-album run to make a pun off of their drummer Tré Cool's name iirc

[lofty summit]

there is no way

fr???

[fading crane]

cant be sayin that queen is overrated and then flame sb for saying that mcr is overrated and mid

😭 🙏

[scenic dawn]

There alright they have 1 good song imo

[high fossil]

and they have like 11 albums

[simple lotus]

Korn and Messhugah

[agile thorn]

Korn yes but not meshuggah.

That's a crazy take

[simple lotus]

And tbh I didn't know where ask this question so

Is King Crimson satanic band ?

[sudden root]

What makes you think they could be?

[simple lotus]

References in their songs

And Robert Fripp said that name King Crimson is reference to satan

And this face belongs to satan himself

https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7214

[sudden root]

didn't Pete Sinfeld always deny the references?
As far as the name and how it came to be, this explanation is quite thorough...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Crimson

And for references... there are more Satanic references in many modern pop songs now than there are in a King Crimson album.

[simple lotus]

https://youtube.com/shorts/X1Hbwjy4mFU?si=Yce9WLeqdp_Qgss_

[sudden root]

Once again, a person's opinion - especially a YouTuber's does not make it so.
As mentioned... if you think they are demonic, by the use of logic, you also have to think that modern pop music is equally demonic with people dressing up as demons, having a ton of demonic references - such as at the grammys, ESC, etc. right?
We can pull up a plethora of YT videos for that as well... Does that make it any more or less true than this guys' take?

Quite a lot of Rock and Metal bands have played with the imagery for shock value over the years.

[simple lotus]

So, can I be Christian and love King Crimson music ?

[sudden root]

Why not?
Can you be Christian and love any Robert Johnson / old Blues Music - especially from Luisianna in the US - Music? Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, even Taylor Swift? Ozzy Osbourne, etc. You and you alone have to determine whether you want to listen to any music.
Think about it, is a deity who controls your behaviour to this level worthy of being worshipped? Would an all-powerful, all-knowing deity let a Christian who worships be let astray intentionally? If yes, that's cruel, if no, then you have free will.

[simple lotus]

(I don't like Taylor Swift)

[sudden root]

I don't either, but just as an example, since she also has been accused of having rituals at some of her shows. Whether that's actually true or not, we can't determine with 100% accuracy - just like with King Crimson.
The point is: Think for yourself.
Man, even the Beatles were accused of having backwards satanic messages in at least one of their songs...

Listen to the music you want to listen to because you want to listen to it. 😉

[simple lotus]

I understand. And I'm huge of The Beatles and Pink Floyd

[sudden root]

👍

[gritty stirrup]

im religious and i like black metal you can listen to whatever

[odd vine]

Pearl Jam

[agile thorn]

Black metal isn't just satanic and also it's barely understandable cuz of the production and also cuz most "good" black metal is not in english.

[livid stream]

Bleed from Within

[simple lotus]

Btw, am I only one who prefers Metallica over Megadeth ?

[gritty stirrup]

no

[sly iris]

Deftones

Deftones ain’t even good

Also hot take but Linkin Park aswell

[sly iris]

I like them both

The guitarists in Megadeth are better

Imo

[agile thorn]

Well, having better musicians just isn't enough. Otherwise by this logic Dream theater is the greatest metal band ever

[scenic dawn]

Slipknot is pretty overrated

[scenic dawn]

There decent but don’t get how there that big

So I’d agree ther overated

[agile thorn]

Yes

Nirvana, korn, linkin park, bmth

Slayer

[bitter bluff]

Electric Callboy ( liked their old stuff wayy more )

[main sorrel]

Nirvana

[warped flicker]

Who?
Also is that Texas?

[bitter bluff]

A german band singing in english they started out as metal but over the years ... well they are still kinda metal but its now a mix of techno and metal with that we dont take ourselfs serious at all vibe

Prev called "Eskimo Callboy" but they changed their name due to political reasons

[warped flicker]

Makes sense

[scenic dawn]

Radiohead

[obtuse scarab]

The Beatles- To be honest, I love them and they made a huge impact on pop culture and pop and rock music but they are just everywhere on movies, merchandise, and shirts and it gets too much.

Dave Matthews Band- I don't even listen to their music and I have mistaken one of their songs to be by John Mayer lol 😂

[spare knoll]

nuh uh

[scenic dawn]

Yea they have a few good songs but there not crazy good

Like they can play some really difficult stuff but not my favorite

AC/DC is not that good

Idk why people act like there the best

[livid stream]

Sometimes less is more

[tawdry ridge]

nobody acts like they are the best

[wet dock]

Beatles with the exception of a few songs that are pretty good.

Primus, Metallica, Beatles. All suck

[high fossil]

Primus and Metallica have sone bangers but yeah I agree

[wispy shale]

yes beatlemania was overhyped but if you listen to the songs there are some bangers

i saw here standing there, Back in the ussr is somewhat of a banger, twist and shout is a bit overrated but

eleanor rigby

im only sleeping, come together while my guitar gently weeps and more.

[wispy shale]

metallica has alot of bangers that i like but i might have to listen to primus i havent heard of them

[high fossil]

Greet the sacred cow is good song from them

[wispy shale]

alrighty!

[steep glade]

Queen

@worthy gazelle nah

[sudden root]

You also have to take into account the times the beatles were in. Very differnet world, and they were certainly revolutionary back then. So by today's standards, maybe not quite so exciting as it was back then.

[wispy shale]

yes.

i do agree

[livid stream]

Primus is supposed to suck

[tawdry ridge]

and they succeeded

[pine harness]

GWAR Sucks

[livid stream]

You guys don't get it

[umbral pelican]

It feels like one of those band where half the fanbase is 12 year old kids trying to look edgy

[livid stream]

That's like saying a rock succeeded in being a rock. It didn't, it just IS

[livid stream]

I dare you to say that to their face

[unborn ridge]

NAWH

THAT TEXT WAS FROM 2022💀

[tawdry jacinth]

Yes it was

Guys let’s keep this thread alive for another 3 years ik we can do it

The big 4 of thrash metal overrated af

[blissful flax]

the diabeatles

[exotic marten]

Disturbed and most metal bands like them.

[hallow pawn]

My chemical romance 🤮

soo mid

[median orbit]

The Eagles, Motley Crue, and Guns N' Roses. Yes, I get that Slash is a great guitarist, but Sweet Child O' Mine is so overplayed that I cringe every time I hear the riff.

[bleak kindle]

how ? theyre perfectly rated dont u think so

[main sorrel]

No

They are much overrated

[livid stream]

Like evenescence?

[livid stream]

Nirvana purist, I see

[slow vine]

You seriously left out a day in the life?

[torn eagle]

AC/DC for me

[fast epoch]

Beatles

[slim bone]

bro never talk again pls for the world :/

[slim bone]

BRO WTF :/

[warped flicker]

They're right though

AC/DC wrote like 3 songs and spent their entire carreer finding all the ways to rewrite them

[slim bone]

No .... juste no

@warped flicker u cant say that

[warped flicker]

I can though

Because it's true

Like 90% of their discography sounds the same

It's all the same drum beat and one-note basslines

The only thing that has any form of variation is the guitar parts, which are still just generic dad rock

[torn eagle]

The only good song they have is it’s a long way to the top

[toxic bison]

idk actually. I would say sattelite stories because theyre just rip off of other indie bands and they have nothing good imo, theyre just mid

[radiant marsh]

metallica is waaaayyyyy overrated like yes they helped metal but they didn’t do anything special imo

[tawdry ridge]

k

[obtuse scarab]

R.E.M

[scenic dawn]

I take this back I’m a big fan now

[sudden root]

How about being in the Guiness Book of World Records for playing in front of the most people at a concert - namely 1.6 million people at once?

• Nothing special?

[radiant marsh]

i meant musically they didn’t do anything special they didn’t really pioneer anything crazy also pantera and ac/dc both played at that concert too so it wasn’t just them playing

i have nothing but respect for Metallica they’ve done wonders for making metal more mainstream and they inspired many bands to make music, all i’m saying is the band in itself if you look at them at face value they’re music is good but not amazing and i personally think they are overrated and didn’t do anything special

also rod stewart has played in front of 3.5 million

[tawdry ridge]

if you were in the 1980s, metallica was most definitely special

and they spearheaded the thrash movement

in addition to any one of their first 4 or even 5 albums easily ranking in the top albums of all time

metal or otherwise

the fact they didnt really bring anything new to the table for 3 decades kinda clouds that, sadly

[median orbit]

limp biscuit, even though i live in jacksonville

[compact parrot]

Megadeath

[hardy reef]

I agree with megadeath too

[lethal bridge]

I didn’t know they were from Jacksonville but that explains a lot lmao

Hell no there amazing

Much better than Metallica

[stray garnet]

Hello Guys I'm new here

[tawdry ridge]

hello new here

[cedar spoke]

hot take, but imma say AC/DC. they all just kinda sound the same

[tawdry ridge]

damn that's a pretty hot take, careful you don't incinerate everything in 50 mile radius

[steep hill]

Metallica is way too overrated like sire theyre good but not THAT good

[quasi surge]

I think the reason they are popular is becuase they were one of the first to really do it the way they did, idfk. They are def heavier band. Faster bands, bands with better songs (all depending on taste)

(Daddy lars carries)

[topaz crane]

Modern sucks

[valid iris]

Megadeth is buns💔

[torn galleon]

Id say their recognition is fair

Thanks to metallica metal became more mainstream

One answer

U2

[slow vine]

Like?

Nu metal is full of great bands.

I’m not even necessarily into the genre but it’s objectively got some great bands In it

[supple rose]

As much as I do agree that some of their songs can be blehg, I must say that a few of them are actually pretty catchy and nice. When it comes to the rich kid thing, I do understand that's definitely the vibe you get from him but he did have to work a 9-5 before he got any money from music or his parents sooo

As I do mature whilst playing, I seem to stop liking a few of his songs but some of them actually have some really good melodies

The main riff of the worst is an example

[tulip flax]

both can coexist

also why am i replying to a message from dec 2024 lol

[supple rose]

💀

[supple rose]

Steve vai for example

[tulip flax]

i like paul gilbert style more but yes he does do some good licks

Butthurt much? and I must thank you for proving my point that they belong here, because if they don't have easily butthurt fans who think Slash is an amazing guitar player and they're the greatest thing on Earth, then they can't be overrated.

[crimson wraith]

Megadeath

[frail plume]

Pantera

[tulip flax]

i love the solos doe 😢

[crimson wraith]

I have hardly heard them but when I arrived to Canada, all I saw was homeless wearing megadeath shirts everywhere

So it grew like an ick for me. I tried hearing maybe 1-4 songs but nothing hit

[tulip flax]

what songs?

[crimson wraith]

The top ones on Spotify

[crimson wraith]

Let me give them another chance

[tulip flax]

tbh his vocals are kind of an acquired taste, especially on newer albums. i'd say just listen to instrumental versions

five magics
tornado of souls
holy wars
hangar 18
return to hangar
symphony of destruction

all have awesome guitar parts

"let there be shred" is a super new song from them but tbh the vocals and lyrics realy suck but the solos sound great

[crimson wraith]

Imma check these

[crimson wraith]

Damn all from the same album

It might the vocals in not a fan of

They’re good but too mmm below Metallica

[tulip flax]

yeah im not a ginormous fan of megadeth so i mainly know stuff from Rust In Peace

[tulip flax]

i like metallica's vocals more but i strongly prefer megadeth's guitar solos more

kirk hammet's solos are super annoying to me lol

dave mustaine's solos arent much better

but luckily dave mustaine had marty friedman as his lead guitarist

[crimson wraith]

How dare youuu say that lool

He’s easy top 5 of all time

[tulip flax]

naw hes only slightly better than dave mustaine. both have a similar style of spamming the fuck out of pentatonics. the only difference kirk has over dave is that kirk does tapped arpeggios and drowns his solos in wah. both have pretty weak melodic choices imho

paul gilbert, bruce bouillet, yngwie malmsteen, marty friedman, jason becker, and eddie van halen are much better imo

[unreal linden]

Don't forget like Wake Up Dead too

[unreal linden]

By what measure?

[floral pollen]

Aint no way you said that

[warm veldt]

Dude that is a 3 year old message 😭

[tulip flax]

metallica is overrated ngl

[floral pollen]

Ik 😢

[floral pollen]

NUH UH

[tulip flax]

annoying guitar solos and crappy groove (likely caused by lars)

james got better vocals than megadeth tho

[floral pollen]

... Idk what any of that means

[floral pollen]

And yes

Excellent argument. Approved ✅

[tulip flax]

they are definitely chill people tho, i'd hang out with them but they probably wouldnt hang out with me cuz im mid at gutiar and im also annoying

[worthy gazelle]

Mid better than bad - yes

[unborn stump]

mettalica

and

Limp Bizkit

[random whale]

Nirvana

[obtuse scarab]

AHHHAHAH1A

So true tho

What dies that guy like

Anyways i'll say Coldplay and probably nirvana too, they got some nice songs but ehh, Kurt is deemed a god by some...

(As overrated bands)

[obtuse scarab]

Yeah these ones too

[random whale]

Kurt's not hugely overrated, but Nirvana on the whole

[tulip flax]

metallica is more overrated than coldplay and nirvana

[obtuse scarab]

They do have a bunch of great songs

But yeah, overrated is true

[tulip flax]

its fine to enjoy em but personally i think they have good riffs that are ruined by shitty grooves, bad drum ideas, and bad guitar solos

[warm veldt]

His guitar playing is

[random whale]

Some of it, but he made some great advancements in grunge tone. Not my genre, but I can appreciate any guitarist who builds their own pedals

[warm veldt]

When did he build his own pedal?

[tulip flax]

his guitar solos are better than kirk hammet's imo

[prisma forge]

Im overrated

[random whale]

He had several custom fuzzes

[uncut prairie]

Elvis Presley

[tulip flax]

woah mama sandwich

[obtuse scarab]

Fair, some solos are good, and melodic... but a lot over wha-d... and spam. I personally even don't really like the enter sandman one, never spoke to me...

But no shame in liking metallica, one of the biggest bands OAT

[tulip flax]

no shame whatsoever

ive tried getting into metallica like 5-6 different times tho and the flaws were too much for me to enjoy them

gosh i sound so pretentious rn lol

[obtuse scarab]

I mean, it's understandable.

[obtuse scarab]

Jimi hendrix experience (sarcasm)

[uncut prairie]

Mad Season

[obtuse scarab]

Bad? BAD?! You dare utter such blasphemy about the holy trinity of rock? The Jimi Hendrix Experience wasn't just a band; it was a cosmic event! To call their music 'bad' is to declare the sky a dull gray and the sun a lukewarm ember. Have you even listened to the psychedelic tapestry they wove? The raw, untamed energy of 'Purple Haze'? The sorrowful beauty of 'The Wind Cries Mary'? The sheer, innovative genius of Hendrix's guitar playing? It's not just music; it's a visceral experience that transcends time and space. You clearly lack the capacity to comprehend such brilliance. Go back to your beige existence and leave the legends to those who can appreciate them!

[obtuse scarab]

It's a joke mate

You read the sarcasm word?

[tulip flax]

“the - isnt just a - , its a -” lol such a common rhetorical device used by AI

[obtuse scarab]

I thought my message was overly satire aswell

Clearly not enougy

[obtuse scarab]

Ok?

[uncut prairie]

Van Halen

[random whale]

How come?

[uncut prairie]

His Solo is over rated

[tulip flax]

nowhere near as much as metallica

[random whale]

Like, all of his solos? He's got a distinct sound, and he pioneered that level of tapping. I feel like it's a hard sell that he's overrated as a guitarist. Maybe as a musician in general, but it's a bit like calling les Paul overrated. Let's call a spade a spade, yeah?

[uncut prairie]

Eruption

[tulip flax]

eruption is overrated but "hot for teacher" "ice cream man" "beat it" "humans being" "panama" "spanish fly" are all great solos

[obtuse scarab]

Panama is a banger!

[tulip flax]

i can see how people see van halen as cheesy 80s stuff but i fucking love VH so fucking much

[random whale]

The thing with EVH is that the more you know about guitar, the more you realize how crazy good he is. Not just technically, but melodically as well
