Sorry, but I'm totally lost with your description of Grateful Dead. I do admit to liking them a little bit, more in the 80's when I saw them twice. But I would agree that they are overrated - in the sense that Phish / Dave Matthews / Jack Johnson type of easy going wookie-rock would consider them consider god. In the larger context of rock music, they really don't get that much exposure - only their notoriety.
Nonetheless, I'm still totally confused with your description of them being a combination of slow rock & metal. A more apt description might be a couple of guys noodling out notes for hours while absolutely stoned. Or - a 5 hour guitar / drum solo on lithium.
