Nathanblake719 babbles about bands he doesn't like

More overrated and bad bands.

Franz Ferdinand, The Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party are all crappy bands that i have seen on tv and on the radio. These bands are all pretty bad I'm not gonna bother talking about their hits because they are so crappy and irrelevant that it would be a waste of time. The most famous of these bands would probably be Franz Ferdinand with their biggest hit being Take Me Out. These bands make Paris Hilton's music seem like better entertainment than rock music. Just listen to the Kaiser Chiefs biggest hits and try not to ****ing fall asleep, their music is just tortuous to listen to.

The Temper Trap are an Australian band that got famous in 2008 with their hits Sweet Disposition and Love Lost. They have had songs that were soundtracks for movies like 500 days of Summer and No Strings Attached. This band sucks ,sorry to say but it's true. Their lead singer sounds like a woman that's screaming while struggling to take a huge dump. The vocals are really bad for a rock band even one as soft as this one.

5 Seconds of Summer are a pop band from australia. This band is One Direction and Justin Bieber but they actually play instruments. If someone made you a playlist with those artists songs and you weren't looking at the name of the artist's on the screen you would barely be able to tell which of them it is. Very easy guitar playing but what do you expect from a pop band. These guys music follows the same modern pop formula as pop stars like Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus which I'm not saying is bad but I just don't know how they all sound the ****ing same, these guys must all have the same damn songwriters or something, all these artists songs sound exactly the same with the exact same structure and formula, I don't know how they do it. Anyway this band sucks so bad but of course I'm not gonna listen to generic modern pop garbage like this band.

I think i had a similar reaction to Bloc Party. My friends were really into them but when i first heard the singer i thought he was too pop and dramatic. Eventually i got the album they were crazy about Silent alarm and some songs in it won me over.

This is the only album i had from them but i've listened to some of their other stuff and it ranges from annoying to pretty good cause they tried a lot of new things that didn't always work imo, but at their core, i think they're a decent Alternative band.

More overrated and bad bands.

Iron Maiden are considered one of the best metal bands of all time. The Number of the Beast is considered one of the best metal albums of all time. Two of their most popular songs are The Trooper and Run to the Hills. I never liked this band despite all of the praise and good reviews they got. Bruce Dickinson's voice is terrible and the riffs and guitar parts of their songs are crap. This band just doesn't have good songwriters, the songs are crap even though they are epic and dramatic and about topics such as war and historic battles like the song Paschendale. When Axl Rose was interviewed in 1988, when he was asked if he thought that his band had any similarities to iron maiden his response was " I hope not". The bands fan base is huge and they've sold 100 million albums worldwide without any radio airplay or promotion, a fact which they brag about in the press. I don't like this band at all and I think they are pretty overrated by their fans and by the music and metal community.

Anthrax are a pretty overrated metal band. they are considered part of the big 4 of thrash metal even though they haven't done one song or album worthy of having that title. It's kind of hard to even take the band's music seriously, songs like Madhouse, Antisocial and Caught in a Mosh are kind of ridiculous. they just don't sound very serious. I think that they should take Anthrax out of the big 4 of Thrash Metal and Put Sepultura instead . Very bad and overrated band.

The big 4 are just the four biggest, most popular thrash bands of that time. Anthrax belongs up there just by sheer numbers. It's not about how good those bands are.

While I'm no fan of Bruce Dickinson's voice, I think they're a pretty unique band and that they put out many good albums. Axl Rose is a twit and if I had a band, I'd be offended to be compared with Guns'n'Roses.

I had thought there might still be some hope, but, well, facts don't lie do they?

I'm all for the idea of questioning the status of holy cows, actually, but this thread is so boring and low level.

Questioning the status is fair enough. He's not doing that. He's just spitting on the bands. He says the writing in Maiden is crap - this is plainly untrue: Harris in particular wrote some of the deepest lyrics any metal band attempted - then that Dickinson can't sing (again untrue: he may not like him but that's completely different). How he can say their FANS overrate them when he doesn't like them is beyond me. Maiden almost single-handedly brought metal to the attention of the mainstream with albums like The Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind, getting metal into the charts for the first time since I don't know when, and though they're a shadow of their former selves (which is understandable as they've been going since the 1980s) they deserve their place in music and metal history, and are without question NOT overrated. The amount of metal bands who cite them is proof enough of that.

Unfortunately, to our man Nathan it would seem "I don't like" = "overrated". Sad. Very very sad. And so very wrong.
