ebay: My Most Overrated Bands

Matte 08.03.09	I agree with all of this except for 3 and 7.
MyNamelsVan 08.03.09	7, 8 and 10 are very good bands. I agree with the rest though.
ebay 08.03.09	i forgot to add the sound of animals fighting as one of anthony green's accomplishments. that band is amazing.
raggedragamuffin 08.03.09	7 is great, and i enjoy 2, 3, and 9 as well. and sometimes 1
PanasonicYouth 08.03.09	you ain't very funny, though i agree that metallica is overrated. and shit. so whatever.
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	Agreed with all but #7.
handoman 08.03.09	cool story bro
Chewie 08.03.09	1 is the ultimate feel good band ever calling 2 over rated but not Nirvana is really dumb your deion for 4 is fucking retarded calling 8 "emo" proves you don't understand them at all The singer for 9 is terrific, as is that line, and focus on their older, much better work twat the others I either agree with or you at least weren't a moron about explaining them. -_-
AliW1993 08.03.09	1. alright 2. love em 3. dunno 4. amazing 5. im a fan 6. meh 7. alright 8. meh 9. dunno 10. meh
GBJ 08.03.09	Only thing I agree with here is 4. 3,6,7 and 8 are incredible, 1 is simple but still good. I can't believe you've seen 6 live and thought it was boring. One of the best performances I've ever seen. 3 is ill live too
Bullitt 08.03.09	What the hell is up with 4, that's a completely random description for anything Metallica. How can you relate Metallica with Honda Accords and working out with hats on backwards lol. You clearly know nothing about any of these bands you listed.
Bullitt 08.03.09	I would rather workout listening to Metallica than sip mocha's listening to some of the shit you like.
willfellmarsy 08.03.09	Circa Survive>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Saosin 1's old stuff is cash, 7 is the best...rest aren't very good anyway...
Knott- 08.03.09	8 and 9 rule! 5 bore me, 6 i've never reaaally gotten, 1 i enjoy but not 5/5style
Electric City 08.03.09	10 have one fantastic album, and Antics is ok too. Sad to see what they've become though. rest of the list is pretty dumb though either because the bands you're whining about are actually good or no one's overrating them in the first place
ebay 08.03.09	haha and what is the "fucking shit" i listen to bullitman? real sweet name by the way broski.
robertsona 08.03.09	4/7 suck, dont really have an opinion on rest
Matte 08.03.09	[quote]I would rather workout listening to Metallica than sip mocha's listening to some of the shit you like.[/quote] BR007AL
steveo2937 08.03.09	Metallica's impact on metal cannot be overstated. They catch shit for their 90s stuff, but their early work is classic. Agree big time with 2 and 7 though. The Mars Volta are the most overrated, pretentious noise-producing pile of shit in history.
breesuschrist 08.03.09	678 10, fail
ebay 08.03.09	i agree that metallica had a huge influence on metal, but i just think they tend to be way too hyped. and most of the people i know that listen to em tend to be total tools... which is what my description is referring to.
Douchebag 08.03.09	Franz Ferdinand are great you dick! you hate weezer yet you have the blue album as a 3.5(great) hmm...
Bullitt 08.03.09	Bullitt is the kind of car i drive you moron, and why did you put that in quotes, i didnt even say that lol. Sounds like you hate bros, good so do I. But i dont think i can recall too many bros listening to Metallica....
Matte 08.03.09	"you hate weezer yet you have the blue album as a 3.5(great) hmm..." That's probably because the blue album is one of the two Weezer albums that doesn't suck a big one.
steveo2937 08.03.09	"and most of the people i know that listen to em tend to be total tools... which is what my description is referring to." rolls eyes
JacobsLadder 08.03.09	3,5,6,7, 10 are all great.
R6Rider 08.03.09	if you think Metallica is overrated your a f*cking idiot
Fapper 08.03.09	I think Metallica is overrated
R6Rider 08.03.09	well no offence but your a f*cking idiot
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	You're*
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	...ya fucking idiot.
PanasonicYouth 08.03.09	siqq burn bro
Fapper 08.03.09	Offense* Don't listen to me though. I'm a f*cking idiot
R6Rider 08.03.09	oh man your punctuation is so much better than mine, guess I better back off
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	Spelling, not punctuation. ...ya fucking idiot.
Fapper 08.03.09	Most people back off when they see my Blastoise.
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	Just a tip, if you want people to respect you/your opinions, don't go around calling everyone a "fucking idiot" who disagrees with you and try to come across as being at least SLIGHTLY intelligent.
PanasonicYouth 08.03.09	r6, metallica is overrated as fuck. and if you don't think that, you're a fucking idiot.
R6Rider 08.03.09	spelling and punctuation ya f*cking idiot
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	Lol thank you for demonstrating beautifully what I just wrote, UhhKris. Although, I do agree with your opinion. They were very influential, yes. For that they are not overrated. However, their music... very meh, imho.
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	And I was correcting your spelling.
thebbqshrimp 08.03.09	Although, your punctuation is also shit.
stargazer76 08.03.09	I agree with all but 7 - TMV are talented musicians and their first 2 albums are superb! The other 3 are fairly overrated. Give these 2 another listen, as both albums took awhile to "grow" on me!
Fapper 08.04.09	Yeah I don't think the influence is what makes them overrated. I think it's the masses of people who love this band and don't know why that makes them overrated in my book.
R6Rider 08.04.09	their music now is just plain average but they created some of the most memorable music in the metal genre, and inspired so many of the bands that you and I listen to today
R6Rider 08.04.09	and Kris stop acting like some elitist fag ok?
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	stop acting like some regular fag first.
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	Lol R6, UhhKris literally wrote exactly what you did and you called him an "elitist fag" for doing so. Anywho, I find even their earlier thrash (Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, etc) to be not all that amazing musically. They may have had massive influence, but I find their music to be rather boring.
R6Rider 08.04.09	what the hell are you talking about?^
Fapper 08.04.09	Exactly. I wonder what today's metal will be considered in twenty years.
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	Your comment: "if you think Metallica is overrated your a f*cking idiot" UhhKris' comment: "r6, metallica is overrated as fuck. and if you don't think that, you're a fucking idiot." To which you responded, "Kris stop acting like some elitist fag ok?" Get it now?
Yazz_Flute 08.04.09	Pearl Jam made "Ten," which is quite easily the best grunge album ever. But other than that album I pretty much agree. Mars Volta is also amazing, and Minus the Bear are a great listen.
R6Rider 08.04.09	Seriously just do me a favor and get off the "Its cool to hate Metallica bandwagon"
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	that's like half the site, bro. just stfu and simma down.
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	I'm not on the bandwagon. It's how I feel and have always felt.
R6Rider 08.04.09	I'm just so sick of people saying they are overrated If thats the case then I guess Led Zeppelin is overrated
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	Okay, now you're just trolling lol.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	zep IS overrated. but they're good. metallica isn't good. see the difference?
R6Rider 08.04.09	haha dude your such a jackass How can a band that has wrote quality material within their respective genres such as Led Zep and Metallica have done be considered overrated? It just doesnt happen like that.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	yeah, it does. when people like you go, HEY THIS MUSIC IS THE SHIT EVERYONE LISTEN TO IT ITS LIKE GOT SHAT ON THIS CD and stuff like that. you overhype it and make it off to be like this absolutely amazing thing. zep wrote good music but they're overrated. metallica wrote shit music and people with shit tastes overhyped it and they're way overrated. get it?
steveo2937 08.04.09	"I'm just so sick of people saying they are overrated" +1. Kind of sad (but not entirely unfair) how the Loads/St. Anger utterly destroyed their reputation. They're finally recovering, their legacy has been secured but the backlash is permanent sadly. I don't know how someone can claim to be a metal fan and then say Metallica was never good, though. Ignorant
R6Rider 08.04.09	their earlier albums were not overhyped, they were just that good
BSX 08.04.09	BBQ shrimp sounds good right about now
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	ya not really. they really weren't. just boring.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	and GOD* fuck my fingers sometimes.
R6Rider 08.04.09	thanks steveo, I needed some back up
R6Rider 08.04.09	yeah I was going to call you out on that but only fags call someone out on their punctuation and spelling
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	i actually didn't, if you were referring to my original post that started this. i was merely twisting your words and throwing them back at you. so whatev.
Fapper 08.04.09	Clearly pointing out someone's intellectual flaws when being accused of stupidity is directly related to homosexuality.
demon of surveillance 08.04.09	I can see saying Metallica is overrated if you're talking about 1991-present, but not 1981-1988! That stuff kicked @$$!
R6Rider 08.04.09	I never said you did
Fapper 08.04.09	When I say that Metallica was overrated, I'm not saying they are/were a bad band. You're right if you think I don't like the way they sound. That has nothing to do with them being overrated. I think a band is overrated when they have millions of fans that have no idea why they should like the band, other than that was what they were exposed to first.
handoman 08.04.09	how anyone could think metallica is overated is beyond me..................................................................................
Fapper 08.04.09	And that's not pointed towards anyone in particular, by the way. I give credit to Metallica because they did contribute a lot to music.
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	Well said, Fapper. Also, even me saying that Metallica isn't overrated because of their influence and them being ahead of the times is a bit of a stretch. Bands like Hellhammer were WAY more ahead of the times and foreshadowed the trends to come far better.
R6Rider 08.04.09	Yeah but thats the thing, the millions of fans that they have is because of their earlier material. They dont have all of those fans because of albums like St. Anger and Death Magnetic.
R6Rider 08.04.09	So why didnt Hellhammer get as much recognition as Metallica? Oh yeah that's right, they were never as good as them
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	No, because they were only around for two years, were from Switzerland, and were extremely underground. However, they greatly influenced Black Metal and essentially invented Death Metal.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	that's pure bullshit. skill =/= recognition
Fapper 08.04.09	Or they were, and Metallica had more fans through exposure, making them overrated.
Matte 08.04.09	"So why didnt Hellhammer get as much recognition as Metallica? Oh yeah that's right, they were never as good as them" Soulja Boy gets more recognition than P.O.S., so he must be better.
R6Rider 08.04.09	Even if they were together for 20 years they never would have reached the heights of Metallica Plain and simple: Metallica gained a huge following because they were that damn good
ebay 08.04.09	how do you guys seriously have this much time to write this many comments? haha
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	r6, your comments are highly ignorant and full of bullshit.
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	I'm at work lol. That's how I'm able to. Sitting at a computer all day w00t! But, now I'm going home, so I'm leaving the debate. Also, you're very correct R6Rider. They never would have gained the mainstream popularity of Metallica. They were an extreme metal band. You can't compare. I was comparing the INFLUENCE and the foreshadowing of the evolution of the genre to come. PEACE.
R6Rider 08.04.09	yeah and the early works of Metallica werent extreme? Seriously
R6Rider 08.04.09	did you guys forget that Metallica went against everything else that was mainstream back then? And they still became one of the biggest bands in the world? Guess that doesnt mean much
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	woooooooow. you're a metallica fanboi to be sure.
R6Rider 08.04.09	Kris seriously get your head out of your ass and face logic I know you think its cool to hate on Metallica because everyone else on here does, but no matter how many new bands I find I'm always going to have respect for certain bands like Metallica because musically they did what so many bands couldnt
R6Rider 08.04.09	no I'm not a fanyboy, I just have respect for the classics
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	i respect the classics, too, but metallica aren't classic. your definition of classic and mine do not match whatsoever, it seems. also you're a fucking idiot.
R6Rider 08.04.09	no my friend, your a fucking idiot you basically think its cool to hate on everything that is mainstream besides your probably like 15 anyways
Chewie 08.04.09	80s Metallica is terrific
StephMCK990 08.04.09	Here, you each can have a Hot Wheel and go play in separate corners. I, personally, have great respect for Metallica. So... there.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	17 and i love plenty of mainstream music. now you're just making wild baseless accusations. i hate metallica. get over it.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	taking this argument to other threads just shows how much of a faggot you really are.
R6Rider 08.04.09	lol I'm sorry dude, I just really dont like you
ManicDemise 08.04.09	Definately agree with 7, I feel the exact same way. I think you're a bit in the wrong for having 6 on here, but oh well...to each his own.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	the feeling's mutual, but keep it here. we really don't need you fagging up other people's threads with your hatred of me. it's just childish.
DhA 08.04.09	how are bright eyes emo? and weezer rules...
R6Rider 08.04.09	man your right, I'm becoming as much of a homo as you
BSX 08.04.09	Why so serious!?
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	respect =/= like so fuck off, newfag
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	lol ok. whatever. you're SO right. you've been here longer than me so you OBVIOUSLY know what's best for me so i'll go back to my little shell and put TAITA on repeat. fuck you.
Matte 08.04.09	Man Sonic, you are truly a bad ass. Seriously dude, calm down. You think Thrice is overrated, and we think Metellica is overrated. It's this super cool thing called an opinion.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	lawl, internet badass.
breesuschrist 08.04.09	we could all just accept that theyre both fuckups compared to gods such as whitechapel and attackattack and move on
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	hahaha i like the way you think breesus
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	when did i ever mention thrice in this thread like... ever? stop pulling shit out of my ratings list and using it against me. goddamn. metallica sucks. my opinion. get over it.
Matte 08.04.09	Wanna borrow my towel?
BSX 08.04.09	No breesuschrist you're wrong. Brokencyde are Rock Gods!
breesuschrist 08.04.09	i mean if you ask me (and if you check my ratings you know that im a brute fuckin metalhead), metallica kind of sold me with indefinite BR00tal superiority with that sweet rock band commercial.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	your statement makes me disbelieve anything you say from now on. touché sir.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	actually i'd pay more to play a coheed rock band. that would make me jizz everywhars.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	truce. i'd fuck claudio. just saying.
breesuschrist 08.04.09	really? thrice is pretty big, although i must admit i never heard of converge until sputnik
R6Rider 08.04.09	coheed sucks balls
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	so does metallica.
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	HIPSTA NIGGA TIL THE DAY I DIE
R6Rider 08.04.09	yeah sure that's why metallica are in their 50's and still put on better shows than gay ass coheed
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	god, this kid can't take a hint
GBJ 08.04.09	I think this intelligent argument should continue even longer.... by the way "Coheed sucks balls"
R6Rider 08.04.09	I never said he had to like them just give respect where its due every band on that list are like a bunch of clowns compared to metallica oh and kris im 25, isn't it past your bedtime?
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	neverender puts that comment to shame.
handoman 08.04.09	guys, this conversation should be transferred over to my list
GBJ 08.04.09	"they play for 3 hours and you're in a large area with a bunch of metallica fans" Lol...This sounds like one of the worst ways I could possibly spend 3 hours :-)
GBJ 08.04.09	Oh shit....my first post cut off.... I meant to say "Coheed sucks balls" = your opinion just became irrelevant
R6Rider 08.04.09	ur post cut off because coheed indeed do suck balls
PanasonicYouth 08.04.09	trying too hard
Fapper 08.04.09	If I could, I would have pos'd Kris's last comment.
robertsona 08.04.09	r6rider you're fucking retarded
robertsona 08.04.09	musical taste: death metal 58% metal 42%
Klekticist 08.04.09	disagree with 6 and 7
R6Rider 08.04.09	no DJ your retarded
robertsona 08.04.09	jesus i don't mean to use the 'grammar card' but it seems like you're deliberately switching 'your' and 'you're'
R6Rider 08.04.09	and seriously I'm done arguing with all you teen whopper nut stains
robertsona 08.04.09	teen whopper nut stains
R6Rider 08.04.09	weakest way to go, using the grammar card
robertsona 08.04.09	hey what happened to 'im gonna stop arguing' that was a pretty cool plan
thebbqshrimp 08.04.09	If you truly are however old you claim to be R6Rider, then that speaks quite poorly to your intellect. Ordinarily I would just chalk it up to "Oh, well he's just a kid, he knows not what he says." But, nope... apparently you are far more advanced in years than us "teen whopper nut stains." Classy.
gaslightanthem 08.04.09	hey guys i have a cool idea why dont you all stfu
modernGuilt100 08.06.09	ok whoah, whoah... check out weezer's first two LP's, some pure genius there... Franz Ferdinand is pretty damn good at what they do, and Bright Eyes is just so strikingly beautiful. Interpol just fucking rocks.
Bullitt 08.07.09	At least we know Ebay realized he was way out of his league and decided to sit this one out.
R6Rider 08.07.09	its been a long time since I flipped out on people over the internet cause obviously there's no point guess I was due
Bullitt 08.07.09	Some people need it, if you cant realize Metallica's influence, your a Moron, end of story. Its like the sky being blue.
R6Rider 08.07.09	DUDE! lol that's exactly what I was gonna say at one point during the conversation!
breesuschrist 08.07.09	metallica sucks and metal doesnt actually exist
Bullitt 08.07.09	Lol, its just getting old. Every new user has to be sure to make a list with something negative about Metallica because its obviously a good way to make friends quick on this site. But i will stick to giving them the credit they earned.
R6Rider 08.07.09	lol you know if we all had this conversation in person I think I would have knocked out alot of motherf*ckers
Bullitt 08.07.09	"metallica sucks and metal doesnt actually exist" Go sip a mocha
R6Rider 08.07.09	mmmmmmm mocha
breesuschrist 08.07.09	no but really theres no such thing
Bullitt 08.07.09	As far as you know, and judging by all the metal you listen to I would guess that's not very far.
breesuschrist 08.07.09	I like a plethora of ambient melodic deathcore and progressive metal bands such as Three Doors Down and Counting Crows. Creed is pretty brutal but its growing on me. your metal
breesuschrist 08.07.09	your metal < my metal
Bullitt 08.07.09	I like creed a lot actually, see, that's somebody expressing how they truly feel about a band regardless of the majorities opinion, you should try it sometime.
breesuschrist 08.07.09	pretty sure i just did
OllieS 08.07.09	This thread reminds me why I need to spend less time on the internet.
breesuschrist 08.07.09	lol im respectfully going to lean the opposite way, internet brawls are extremely enterntaining, especially when they involve metal
ebay 08.26.09	ha wow i didn't know my lil list got so many comments. seeing that my vote for metallica being overrated generated the most discussion i would just like to say that this list was for the "most overrated" and not "worst" bands out there. if i wanted to make that list it would have consisted of bands like red jumpsuit apparatus, nickelback, and oh i dunno.... simple plan. the bands i included in this list all tend to get reviewed and rated at least fairly well and i just wanted to state my difference in opinion. and for all u metallica-heads out there: yes, metallica did have a tremendous impact and influence on metal, but i do not like them. so there :)
Bullitt 08.26.09	Damn Ebay, wish you would have showed up before WW3 started lol.
ebay 08.26.09	ya i know. too bad most of it had nothing to do with my list ha
