Agree with all 3 of those. I can't stand any of them, and yet all 3 are worshipped.

Also, Trivium are probably the worst band on earth right now, yet they are constantly being praised for "resurrecting thrash metal", which is a complete joke. Plagiarizing what Metallica did 20 years ago without adding a single new idea is not resurrectin anything. It's ripping off something else. Considering bands like Torture Squad, Violater, Toxic Holocaust and even some old bands like Destruction putting out great thrash nowadays, it is stupid to say some crappy metalcore band who have decided to rip off Metallica are bringing something that has been done well by many bands consistantly over the years.

Trivium worst band on Earth? I have not heard enough to give a full opinion, I heard one song, and don't remember it that well, but to say that they're the worst band on Earth...you need to hear Pussycat Dolls. Most overrated band, sure. WORST? You haven't heard a lot.

Most overrated band in metal...I'd say most flower metal bands. Flower metal is worshipped by so many, and it's got no aggression or balls to it.

Maybe I should have specified that they are the worst "metal band ever" sorry for the confusion.

And yes, flower metal = sick

The whole Trivium argument is stupid. You act as if Toxic Holocaust isn't doing something that was done 20 years ago! I'm sorry to say but nothing on The Crusade comes off as original, but it sure as hell doesn't even approach being deserving of the hate people shell out toward them. I didn't like Ember To Inferno or Ascendancy because of the screaming, but The Crusade kicks ass. Musically, Trivium have NEVER been a metalcore band. Pay attention.

Haters be damned. Worst band on the planet? Please. It's music. Who cares if the little turds that shop at Hot Topic like it? And 99% of the bands out there are NOT original at all! That includes most if not all of your favorite bands.

Quote :: Toxic Holocaust

It may not be musically related, but Toxic Holocaust BLATANTLY copied someone elses logo. Go look at Sarcofago's band logo, and then compare that to T.H.

The Axl Rose Cover band aka Guns N Roses. It is just Axl, nobody even has any idea who else is even in the band. Slash is gone, Izzy, gone, even Buckethead is gone. What a mess. The guys is selling out everywhere he plays. No new album. So over hyped

Whilst I generally agree with this, most guitar fans know who Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal is - incredible guitarist, right there.
