AC/DC fans are pretty intense

Not the people that like 'em, but the people that LOVE them

People that hate them however are extremely intense.

Im not even going to read past the first page, I hate threads like this where people are answering honestly their just posting abnds they don't like and think suck.

Go back and look at some of the **** put up there. Maybe we need to operationalize the word, but as far as im concerned, half the abnds on the first page do not have fan boys.

Dreamtheater- Are ok but they get pretty boring
Neutral Milk Hotel- I dislike
Mayhem- I like them
Trivium- I don't
Job for a Cowboy- I like them alot
Slipknot- I don't
Dragonforce- Possibly my favorite band.
Led Zeppelin-Are pretty good but overrated
Pink Floyd-Like them alot but I think they are overrated
Radiohead-I like them

I can honestly tell you that these bands have fanboys who will either threaten to kill you for dissing that band (for Trivium, I have seen isomone tell somone else that he will kil him) to telling you need a better taste in music (dreamtheater and neutral milk hotel,ect). Many more examples if you wish for me to explain.

I honestly never see people preaching about Opeth. Having an avatar does not constitute being a fanboy either.

Have you posted at any metal forums ever? I've never heard so many kids cry when someone calls that band boring in my entire life. They jock them like they're the most talented people to ever pick up instruments. This was earlier this year and last year though. Can't say i've heard many people even talk about em lately.

I guess stiffs don`t have the staying power they used to

Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
Metallica
AC/DC
Aerosmith
U2

the list can go on and on, it depends on what you think fanboy ridden means, i think it means that there over popular and have to many LOVING fans

Everybody loves Radiohead, and the Scene Aesthetic too much here.

But I actually like the latter too. :D

At least Tool has talent and an artistic asthetic.

And to defend my position from earlier. If people are generally out against a band, or the band has been ded for ahwile its hard for me to assume they have fan boys.

Nirvana has fan boys? Pssh it isn't anything like it was in 97, never mind in 94.

As for GnR and Metallica, the only thing they have in great multitude is people saying that they suck now and they should have hung it up 5 to 10 years ago.

This is what I mean, the same people that are accusing them of fan boi-dom are the same ones saying they should have hung it up forever ago. They are arguing on a bias or they think that one extream fan is one too may and that constitues "ridden".

i see your point, and your right for Metallica and GNR and Nirvana, but you have to admit that bands like U2 and Aerosmith have a large enough fan base to have those who support everything they do, stupid or good

Dream Theater do have talent, they just don't use it for anything other than wanking their asses off.
