[QUOTE="ithilgore2006"]I agree on Dragonforce, I simply can't see any actual music in them.luke1889
Would you mind elaborating on this point? I think you'll find it is an entirely false statement.
I don't see why people pick on Dragonforce is particular. They're bad, no doubt, but there's literally a whole genre of bands that sound exactly like Dragonforce, and rarely (on these forums) do I see anybody criticize those bands.[QUOTE="Cerussite"]Almost every band that's ever been in the mainstream. Not because they're mainstream, but because they suck. The same goes for a lot of underground bands as well.luke1889
If you don't like mainstream and you don't like underground, what do you like?
Words to live by.Every mainstream band. usaaaaaaI'll never understand this. If your favourite band became popular, you'd stop liking them? :?

They're bad, no doubt, but there's literally a whole genre of bands that sound exactly like Dragonforce, and rarely (on these forums) do I see anybody criticize those bands.Well, I personally like DragonForce, not only because of the instrumental work, but also largely because of the vocals. Unlike a lot of people, I do not dislike them; I actually think they're one of the band's strong points.
I thought it was meant that DragonForce should not be classed at music, at which I was about to reach for a dictionary. I have been saved this effort at least.
Oh and people probably seem to cite DragonForce and not the other bands because DragonForce are possibly the most well known metal band to people who are not devout metal fans.

Because they change when they become popular.
No band is 'overrated'.Hinata237Yep. Bands get famous for a reason. I may not like a certain band, but I do know they are talented musicians.
Its funny because there are a few Christian bands that after they become popular they say that they are no longer a Christian band....i dont get it. Maybe so they appeal to a wider variety of listeners.

You are debating that I really do see music in them, and I'm just pretending I don't? I didn't say "They aren't music", I said "I simply can't see any actual music in them", there's nothing false about having an opinion.[QUOTE="usaaaaaa"]Every mainstream band. SolidSnake35I'll never understand this. If your favourite band became popular, you'd stop liking them? :?Just because you think they're overrated doesn't mean you can't like them....
Gerard Way is a "rock singer".[QUOTE="sovereign_22"]my chemical romance, you know, if they had an actual rocker singer, theyd probebly be pretty kick assCerussite
Maybe if you were less vague...
meh, mabey its just my opinion, i feel the say way about bullet for my valentine, the rest of those bands are great, particularly the guitarists, but i just think their singers sound so *****y, i dont know, im a 60s and 70s rock kind of guy.... so mabey that was less ''vague''[QUOTE="Hinata237"]No band is 'overrated'.metallica_fan42Yep.

Really? so your saying artists like solja boy (if he even counts as a music artist) are talented?!

Yeah, I was just kidding.
Alot of bands get famous just because of teenage girls. Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, etc.
When i hear their music i think to myself "what in the **** is this song about?" Most of their songs have a pointless meaning.
...and songs like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Bohemian Rhapsody" do have meaning? Teenage girls aren't the only ones who listen to Fall out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, or My Chemical Romance. Just as many men listen to these bands as women do. Stop generalizing.Alot of bands get famous just because of teenage girls. Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, etc.

Seriously though, are you simply saying you don't like them? If you are, try to be a lot less ambiguous next time.

You're taking it out of context. Bands like say Nickelback. I think they are probably one of the worst bands around, yet they are talented musicians. Solja Boy isn't a musician. He takes beats that are electronically produced, and trys to rap over them. Saying a band like Led Zeppelin or AC/DC is overrated doesn't make sense. They helped music out in a huge way, and they are great musicians. I'd like to see any accomplished guitarist mimic move for move what Angus Young did. I'm sure there may be some that could, but it wouldn't be the same.I try to shy away from calling a band overrated anymore.
I could see what people enjoy in groups like MCR and FOB, but I don't care for them.

Teenage girls and people who think they are 'gangsta' are causing music to become awful. OMG its all their fault, NNooooo!

Yes, I was giving a reason at the same time, perhaps not in the best way, but it's better then a blanket "they suck" statement.I can't....>____>I try to shy away from calling a band overrated anymore.

Sorry, i just dont see how you could be a guy and listen to their music. And the majority of their fans are teenage girls.
