Worst Metal Band Ever?

Strange ol' name for a band too... they definitely have that working against them from the outset...

The most overrated metal band is probably Notorous B.I.G or Jim Carrey.

Staind, anyone? Trapt? Limp Bizkit? Creed? Ra? Powerman 5000? Static X?

Mainstream metal has really lost a lot of hold. A band like Divine Heresy, I don't even find interesting or good. The same story with Black Label Society. It's a recycled sound. Agro as a motherfuker, but what good is it? It reminds me of dumbasses with crew cuts that go to shows to start fights and masturbate to "Road House".

they've been discussed pretty thoroughly before. the problem with mainstream metal isn't that it's necessarily bad, but it's deeply entrenched in the quiet LOUD quiet LOUD dynamic that started in the 1990s. it's almost if a band explores a path that doesn't have that structure than there's little reason for mainstream music fans to enjoy it without those hooks.

Staind and Trapt are definitely not metal..and don't claim to be (at least I don't think so).

They make pretty good rock bands though.

It's more of a personal vendetta against Korn for me, than the fact that they're just bad.
Growing up in small town Minnesota, every wannabe badass on the block is a huge Korn fan, and I spent years and years being bombarded with it from all angles--and it killed every last bit of tolerance I had.
