I already have a feeling that this is going to be a big battle between what's "Nu-Metal" and What's "Old School" metal, but before we all start slitting eachother's throats about it, should really stop and think where to draw the dividing line between the two.

nice,and nu-metal is rap rock(unfortunatly some other good bandss get labeled nu-metal and it puts folk off)...limp bizkit is,or was rap rock

The Muse · Post by **The Muse** » Sat Aug 21, 2004 12:29 pm

Most overrated band:
Tool
Nirvana
Muse
Radiohead
Pink Floyd

Ok, Tool, Nirvana and Pink Floyd are fine in that list, but Muse and Radiohead? No way, they are not overrated. Especially Radiohead isn't. Their album 'Ok Computer' is one of the most amazing masterpieces I've ever heard. And Joy Division under Gothic-Rock? I don't really think they're gothic... But I can't describe them any other way though...

How could you miss progressive metal!!!

morbid, j00 should know better... -_-

*cries*

Morbid Angel · Post by **Morbid Angel** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 5:07 am

Opeth = progressive.

I find the bands to be overrated, as many other people actually find them to be. I"m personally not impressed as much hype as they get.

The Muse · Post by **The Muse** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 10:45 am

Who listens to the hype anyway?

Wulf · Post by **Wulf** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 12:50 pm

hype?! <_< :mellow:

Akrid · Post by **Akrid** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 5:56 pm

Hype as in the most popular music (thus we get the term "pop") and apperently a ton of people listen to it if it's considered to be the "hype"

Wulf · Post by **Wulf** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 6:08 pm

so your saying bands like dream theater, symphony x and pagan's mind are pop... :mellow: "apperently" you have made a mistake... <_<
