Metallica is probably the most overrated band on earth.

And before you accuse me of being a brainwashed brat from 2005, do know that I was born in '87 and I've heard most of their crap and not only the latest.

Real metalheads dont give a ♥♥♥♥ what you listen to, be it Metallica, Pantera, Venom, or Sword, or so many others.. try giving each other 5 minutes alone!

This is the best answer yet. I don't care what anyone listens to, as I stated, I respect all the metal bands even if I don't like some of them. It's impressive to be a part of them because it takes work, skill, and talent.

My original point stands, that they were influential, but I'm not going to say that all other bands suck.

When you are talking about Pantera, then never miss them.

I agree, although I have to say that I think its a P R E T T Y close tie between Metallica and The Beatles..

You obviously arn't a metalhead then or a good one at least, if you honestly believe it's popularity that makes a band innovative. As well you really don't know the history of anything let alone extreme metal if you wanna call thrash that. Metallica have said without Venom there wouldn't be Metallica, so what's that then huh. Plus being the first extreme metal band that almost everyone sites as inspiration means something I doubt you care though that i'm making good points since you are obviosuly a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Metallica fanboy. To be honest the fact that you ignore Venom and praise ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Metallica shows how much of a sub human troglodyte you are and how less than worthless your opinion is on the topic of extreme metal. Just stick with your big four since those obviously are the only bands you know. Death metal and Black metal don't want you.

Lmao I didn't ignore Venom but you ignored what other bands have said about the top 4 thrash influencing them, especially Metallica. So I don't know what to tell you dude. I don't even like Metallica that much. On a related note, I also don't debate with people who don't have decent reading comprehension skills. I don't want them either.

The day you do something as great as them, I might actually take you seriously.

I'd say the same, ♥♥♥♥ stick. Maybe if you achive as much as Venom has I'll listen to your retarded opinion.
