Members Oblivion DC Posted August 3, 2011 Members Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, yeah, the general public are stupid and don't know music as well as you do.They're not {censored}ing Katie Perry.They were/are a metal band, and a {censored}ing good one, but were able to write tunes that appealed to a much larger audience across multiple genders.Don't like it? Don't buy the records or go to their shows.Over-rated? No. Only a dumb {censored}, or butt hurt, die-hard thrash fan would say that. Multiple genders... How the {censored} does that work??? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitarist+ Posted August 3, 2011 Members Share Posted August 3, 2011 This. Same thing with Megadeth - quitting after Rust in Peace was a masterstroke of genius.And slightly guilty ROFL at chasing Guitarist+ out of HCAF with the inside jokes. Except, Countdown to Extinction, The System Has Failed, United Abominations, and Endgame are all master pieces. Risk and The World Needs a Hero are okay. Hidden Treasures was pretty great, too, although in my opinion only the covers on that EP were really good. Cryptic Writings was excellent.

Members JesusCrisp Posted August 3, 2011 Members Share Posted August 3, 2011 Tons of stuff could be written about this but in a nutshell, as superficial it might sound, image is important. Not only in metal but generally in everything related to everyday life. Deep down it falls down to same category as picking a pile of potential records from unknown bands to listen to merely based on the album cover (tell me you never done that), or why metal lyrics aren't really covering topics like eating ice cream on the beach with your mom, playing soccer or programming the OS for the new Nokia phones with Delphi, for example. I see that image is kinda important, but come on, is long hair required for metal or something? I doubt even half the guys complaining wear long hair like James in the 80's.

What are all these imaginary albums you are talking about? And what is that wooshing sound? Oh, it's the sound of another (in-)joke going over your head Welcome to HCAF!

Members rburgess Posted August 3, 2011 Members Share Posted August 3, 2011 Overrated metal band? No. Now, are they overrated as a hard rock band? That's certainly up for debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OceansBetweenUs Posted August 3, 2011 Members Share Posted August 3, 2011 ^ I can't understand why you metal fans worry so much about how musicians look. I think he looks very respectable for a 40+ year old rocker in that picture. He was in a heavy metal outfit in his youth, and went off in a hard rock direction. Great, influential band. Death Magnetic has some cool stuff on it even. Exodus? Pffft. Sepultura? Hahahaha... EDIT: Another reason Megadeth will never be/isn't as impactful as Metallica: Mustaine's vocals are pretty inaccessible. I've never heard anyone listen to Megadeth for the first time and say, 'Yo, this guy sounds great!' And I never loved Rust in Peace or Countdown to Extinction - and still don't.

Mustaine's lyrics/attitude'd vocals sound forced and well...corny? Polaris is a sweet track, though, as is Holy War. I was being overly critical by saying I don't like it. Youthanasia is their masterpiece album IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP is by far their best album with Peace sells...getting a nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
