Exactly, he's "ok". Youtube comments and fanboiz seem to think he's the Beethoven of drumming, when really he's closer to a cat running across the piano because it saw a bird outside.

I'd say that Joey Jordison a lot better than 'OK', to put it mildly. I agree with you on Lars Ulrich, though. I'm a better drummer than Lars Ulrich, and I haven't drummed in a band for years.

What about this?
Yeah, didn't mind it. I generally prefer more stoner-y stuff like Kyuss or Cathedral. For obvious reasons.

Dammit MGS now I'm gonna spend all day at work listening to Killing Joke on youtube.
Not too big on the 80's stuff, but this newer heavy sound is epic.

Yepper, the early 80s stuff is 'of it's time', I still enjoy much of it but it's a very different sound to the newer stuff.
Millenium and Hosannas from the Basements of Hell are my two favorite albums by Killing Joke.
And despite the intentional and cynical 'I'm mad and bad, me' attitude and stylings of many frontmen, Jaz Coleman is one original scary mad bastard. 100% Malkavian.

You want bad? Like, really, really, REALLY bad?
Limp Bizkit.
'Nuff said.
Also, i found Metallica rather overrated...

Lots of people saying Metallica, I still think the black album was a magnum opus an excellently done album and very good tunes, but they didn't just fail to meet up to it in following work, they plummeted into painful mediocrity thereafter, almost immediately becoming miserly old men with little to no love in their work.

Why
Lulu was such a terrible album, I didn't like the black album as much but did like Load/Reload
Currently debating whether to study for my exams or paint some Deathwing

I think after their first few albums (which were I thought were brilliant btw) they had exhausted themselves creatively, cause they made some real bizarre decisions lately like collaborating with experimental rock artist Lou Reed, they were kind of a big deal back in the 80's as they did pretty
much kick-started Thrash Metal and Extreme Metal (they were a lot tougher sounding than the NWOBM that influenced their music) and made that style commercially viable, but I don't understand the hate no artist or band releases 100% perfect material just listen to the band's strongest
stuff and ignore the rest I say.

The talk of Metallica meant I just had to add this as it makes me laugh to this day: Saw them at Reading Festival which was just before Death Magnetic was out. They played all the big hits and that was fine, they played nothing off St Anger and that was good, and then Hetfield steps up and says "we're now gonna play something off the new album", the crowd goes quiet... 20 seconds in to the song someone near me shouts "It's not gak" and the whole crowd (as if they were waiting for this guy) starts cheering.
So for my contribution to the topic: Worst: For me, pretty much any boy-band, no need to name names. I'm not one for lyrics (the vocals are largely an extra instrument for me) and so any good song writing is lost on me and that leaves nothing but the backing drum machine for most boy-bands.
Over-rated: All the recent "rock" bands like Kassabian, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, etc... I just don't get what people liked about them. They all seemed to appear at the same time and all sounded the same to me and just didn't seem to have anything special. Maybe it was the song writing again, but I didn't get it.

It's a subgenre of doom metal. It's quite slow, but really heavy. Actually, thinking about it again, you may prefer death/doom, for example My Dying Bride:

From Bradford, of all places!
I know, I've seen them, years and years ago! It was in Stockton-on-Tees, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, I like My Dying Bride, what I've heard of them. Still have a soft spot for 'The Cry of Mankind' even after all these years.

Most overrated? Lars Ulrich or Joey Jordison.
Let the flaming begin.
I dont see a flame war from what you said at all. Ulrich is a gakky drummer, and Jordison is only considered good because he can play fast. Big frigging deal. Michael Angelo Batio can shred a guitar like a mofo, doesnt mean I think he has any REAL talent outside of playing really fast and crazy. The day the guy makes a song that stays in my head for a week is when Ill think hes got talent
You guys. I'm late to the show. But it needs to be said. The Beetles are -not- overated. People who just want be included and maybe listen to three songs claim to love the Beetles.
I don't listen to them. But i'll be fethed before I deny what they have contributed to music as a whole.
Also. Worst music. Country, all of it.
Overated? I guess I feel Metallica is very -very- overated. Even their older stuff. Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets are good. But aren't bibles.
Also because were talking about music. I'm posting something not overated.
I've sold so many armies. :(

No matter what comes in the future, Bathory will remain epic! Even if you don't like Quorthon's music, you have to accept that Bathory has created some of the best heavy metal music ever.
Much of the modern popular 'country' is indeed foul dross with insipid lyrics and horrible prefabricated template construction. But Country has a rich and diverse heritage and some amazing musicians have been a part of it.
