1) Guns N' Roses - I say I like them, but in reality all I like is Appetite for Destruction and 1/2 of the Lies record.
2) Metallica - I like a lot of Metallica stuff, most of it actually. Only stuff I hated was Load, Re-Load and most of Saint Anger. I consider them
overrated because I dont really understand why they are 'gods' and Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer are on such a lower level even though they are
popular.
3) KISS - I LOVE Kiss, but come on people follow them as blindly as they do with sports teams. Its like they can do no wrong even though they have 2
random guys dressed as past members and with the exception of a few songs here and there they havent had a really good album since 1978.

I could spend a long fuckin' time thinking of overrated metal bands, many of which I like. Love Slayer, but way overrated. Pantera, definitely
overrated. Metallica, extremely overrated. Metal in general, overrated. 99.9% of it I can't take seriously, even the few bands I like. Musically a
very talented genre, but for some reason it makes the least evil of people ever write some of the stupidest "evil" lyrics. Can't remember who said it
on here, the whole thing about metal being smart music for stupid people & hardcore being stupid music for smart people, but that sums up my opinion
pretty clearly. But I will say St. Vitus is one of my top underrated metal bands. Pentagram is pretty underrated. As is Impaled Northern
Moonforest. My metal playlist in the last year has pretty much consisted of
joke black metal bands like Morbid Anal Fog & The Black Satans. Swashbuckle's alright too, I can get down with some pirate metal for a few minutes.
Lamb Of God. Overrated. I'm pretty sure Limp Bizkit think they are some sort of metal, they're the lamest shit ever. Rage Against The Machine, kind
of considered metal, smart lyrics, repetitive & boring music. Overrated
aside from that, I don't keep up with the stuff at all really..
as for Sepultura, lets call it 2 different bands here...
Sepultura with Max, excellent stuff. Chaos AD and Arise are total classics.
Sepultura without max: did anybody even bother to check it out?
Slayer, well I haven't heard anything that really impressed me since South Of Heaven. that was 1988...holy shit
Slayer, well I haven't heard anything that really impressed me since South Of Heaven. that was 1988...holy shit
Their newest stuff sound just like the old stuff, which is bad & good. I liked the lyrics to a lot of Christ Illusion though, they
were relevant to what was going on in the world at that time, & that's what stood out to me

I'd tend to agree here. Criminally underrated. Everyone who knows this album...knows how good it is, but this should be in the top 10 metal albums of
all time. Period.
I am a GIANT Napalm death fanboy, and I'd easily say they're the superior "band"...but Napalm never came close to an album on the whole as powerful as
World Downfall. It's just fucking ridiculous.
Slayer, well I haven't heard anything that really impressed me since South Of Heaven. that was 1988...holy shit

No it does not. They have never put anything out that could touch Show No Mercy or Reign In Blood.

BKT.
oh, of course not. Can't beat those two. They just went back to their signature style on the last 2
albums, & having Dave Lombardo back was cool as well.
I still love Slayer, and I think God Hates Us All from 2001 is as good as any of their early stuff, and Christ Illusion was a solid album as well.
Terrorizer - World Downfall is one of the best metal records of all time.
Overrated - Gn'R, Megadeth (vocals were the worst shit ever), any black/rap/nu metal, Iron Maiden, Lamb of God, Meshuggha (sp. ?), Dragonforce, Iced
Earth, Damageplan (Dimebag ruled, that band did not)
‘Do you know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet from a fucking gun. Straight through your heart.’
Sepultura
Metallica
KISS
Avenged Sevenfold
Mastodon
Lamb of God
Megadeth
Meshuggah
Iced Earth
My own additions include:
In Flames
Opeth
Trivium
[insert any dozen or so nu metal bands here]
Bring Me The Horizon
Shadows Fall
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

YES,YES and YES!!!
The only difference is, I've never been a fan of any of them as all of those bands get on my tits.
Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.
Another under rated or hardly mentioned metal band....................ROSE TATTOO.

I actually like them but I really believe that the newer bands have just worn me down by attrition to accept second rate songs. This is why Holy
Grail is so exciting to me because they actually have great tunes.
DREAM THEATER- douchebag fans. Wannabee intelligent wannabe musicians think this band rules.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE- Seriously, they suck
CHIMIRIA- I have no idea why they even exist.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
