Soulja boy and you cant say you can stand crank dat played over and over

 

I think any band that gets too much airplay gets overrated

 

Or any poppie-prep bands :shame:

 

Ruining music just to get money

 

Honestly how often can you turn on a mainstream radio station and their not playing some band thats going to be a 1 hit/cd band not very likely

DRAGON FORCE. They sound good on Guitar Hero 3 but they are horrendus (However you spell it.) live.

 

 

 

Yeah that was my original post for this topic, you can really see how good Herman Li is when live....he is nothing without all the computer aid to his riffs.

Green Day

 

 

 

To be honest I thought all there work before american idiot was quality, Only after the American idiot album when they got really big and everyone bummed them is when they got too overrated.

 

 

 

At the moment I'd say the most overrated band is probably Pendulum, I mean yea they do have some good songs, and they do throw an amazing live performance (From what I've seen across youtube) but ever since the release of Propane Nightmares all the "fans" are saying they are the next musical revolution when they haven't even listened to the Hold Your Colour album.

 

Or Arctic monkeys, Ever since they got big they have really annoyed me and to be honest, I much preferred their first album to the latest one.

 

 

 

EDIT: 700th post for the second time :D

^^ Gotta agree with Pendulum. It's just DnB for students who don't know anything about the genre whatsoever. they're completely bastardizing dnb and noone even cares! had some great tunes before hold your colour but after that everyone could enjoy them. which sucked.

 

 

 

 

 

I think Panic At The Disco take the biscuit though.

Do you realize that you just said that you liked Green Day until it got popular? I hope you realize that you sound like the stereotypical indie-rock fan. I'm not saying that Green Day didn't get worse after people started liking it, or that Green Day is even good at all, but I just wanted to point out that you probably sound like someone you don't want to sound like. :P

But then, Steve Vai also admitted to being somewhat sloppy live (in a Guitar World interview) and nobody here is saying that about him. Excellent guitar playing has nothing to do with speed, really. The songs sound good recorded.

 

 

 

In the studio, you have the luxury of being able to go over and perfect anything you like, and get it to sound perfect, I think.

slipknot, dragonforce, slipknot, MCR, slipknot, korn, slipknot, fall out boy, slipknot

 

 

 

I'm getting a vibe that you think Slipknot is a tiny bit overrated... are my readings correct? :lol:

 

 

 

Nickelback... most bands on my town's radio station. Anyone from Highschool Musical. No wait, sorry, they can't be even called a band. More like "Music torturers" am I right?

Not a true fan to many bands, are you?

 

 

 

If a band becomes popular, why do people tend to say they started going downhill? Is it because people want to be away from popular bands, you want to be one of the few fans, be the outcasts? Please state your reasoning, I'd like to understand why the hell people do that.

I shouldn't have visited this thread :(

 

Haha, I'm not saying they're a bad band. And I'm definitely not saying that people that like them shouldn't like them. I've just never really understood why so many people seem to like them, they're music doesn't do much for me. Feel free to enlighten me if you wish, though.

Cool.

Ok maybe green day wasn't a good example, but what I'm trying to say is that every band gets overrated in some sense as when they are just that local teenage band nobody has heard of they played the gig down the pub and nobody likes them, then all of a sudden when they hit the record deal all the people that didn't like them now love them and declare themselves true fans to a band because they had heard of them before they got big. If you go to concerts to a band/artist that has numerous albums out, look how many fans are singing along to the older content rather than the newer content, that is what annoys me is when people declare to be true fans to a band ONLY when they got big.

 

 

 

I might have just rambled there its late and I'm tired. :P

Like I said above I still like green day whether they are big or not, but it's just overkill when a bands song gets played over and over on the radio/TV. Whether a band is overrated or not, if I think the music is good then I will like the band, I don't go along with what everyone else listens to. If someone told me to listen a no-namer band that I had never heard of and I liked the music, then I would become a fan. For example a band named little man tate that isnt very well known, ever since I saw them touring with another not-so-popular band, I've followed them and their music from their first release.

 

 

 

By the way I am an indie rock fan :P

It all depends on whether or not you like hearing the same song over and over.

I don't know why everyone thinks Dream Theater is over-rated. I find a lot of them to be particularily talented; especially in the percussion department.

I agree with all of these except Dream Theater, and I haven't heard very much Queen so i can't judge them. Bohemian Rhapsody is defineately overrated though.
