The musicians are talented, the songwriting is downright goofy and forever endearing, and the wacky Les Claypool basically invented the most mind-blowing way to play the bass and thus turned it into a psychotic piece of art. Claypool's an unmedicated genius.

The problem with calling them underrated, though, is that everyone I know loves them. My friends can't stop singing the lyrics and bass/guitar riffs to "Too Many Puppies" and "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver."

Answered: Motorhead
Everybody knows the name, but only know the song Ace of Spades.. Motorhead has 30 years of rockin material out there for you to hear.

Another way under rated band is Faith no More.

GWAR is overrated. They're more gimmick than talent.

Hands down no one talks about Les Claypool (even though i prefer John Paul Jones)

motorhead is by far the best on this list yet its the only one most of my friends dont listen to

Answered: GWAR
Primus and Motorhead are under-rated how?
JESTER576 to Marc January 16, 2008 23:01:51

You don't get out much do you? No offense.
Marc to JESTER576 January 16, 2008 23:18:10

and you obviously have no clue, Motor head sold millions worldwide, so under-rated how?
JESTER576 to Marc January 16, 2008 23:20:15

Wow, they've sold millions of records. So has GWAR, and several other bands. That doesn't mean they're not underrated.

Answered: Motorhead
why are Motorhead on here??? They are not under-rated, they have only been touring worldwide for 30 years
JESTER576 to marekgo... January 13, 2008 04:51:26

Just because they go on tours for that long doesn't make them underrated.....

They have never recieved the credit they deserve. They are unique and talented beyond belief. I've seen them live before and sh*it what a show! Les Claypool is the man!
JESTER576 to Reveren... January 12, 2008 01:06:51

How was the show man?
Reveren... to JESTER576 January 12, 2008 01:11:37

I've only seen them once and it was back in 94 at lollapalooza. They were the closing act after Alice In Chains. They were amazing! Les Claypool gets bad as f*ck on that bass, I've never seen anything like it. It was an epic experience. i definitely recommend seeing Les live if you ever get the chance
JESTER576 to Reveren... January 12, 2008 01:16:41

I hope too.....sometime in my life!

Answered: GWAR
Obviously, among metalheads, Motorhead are gods. I'd have to say there's a tie between Motorhead and GWAR, but GWAR's last few albums were a lot better than the others, more intelligent lyrical content and harder music... which is surprising for a band that's been around since '85. But GWAR got my vote because people tend to write them off just because they have a sense of humor and put that into their music. It's good to not be serious all the time, and metal needs a little more of that. Motorhead would have, but anyone who knows metal loves them, and Mastodon seems commercially more successful than GWAR or Primus(correct me if I'm wrong) but they actually play really good music.
JESTER576 to Chavo January 05, 2008 00:42:33

Yeah, that's what really pisses me off. Everyone likes GWAR for their humor, nad their costumes, only a few people can look past that and see what a great band GWAR is.

And I do agree on the last few album parts. Beyond Hell, and Warparty are metal gems.
Chavo to JESTER576 January 11, 2008 23:19:30

FINALLY someone that agrees. I only know two other guys who actually respect GWAR, everyone else I know just hates them. But it's better than having them be huge mainstream guys and having lame-ass non-metalheads trying to act like GWAR is a band they'd listen to.
JESTER576 to Chavo January 11, 2008 23:21:03

Like slipknot!
Chavo to JESTER576 January 11, 2008 23:28:58

Hah yea. I still know kids that are pretty metal but listen to Slipknot... but that's because they were the only kids that knew metal at all. You can see why I have few friends (HAH I'm such a loser). There were about 5 metal kids at my highschool, and even less now that I'm in college.
Goddammit, I hate people.
JESTER576 to Chavo January 11, 2008 23:34:58

I have a few friends who listen to slapnut, but they make up for it by listening to like Megadeth, and Van Halen.
Chavo to JESTER576 January 11, 2008 23:45:31

Yea, that's how my buds are. But of course, "Compared to Coldplay and Nelly, even shitty metal rules!"
JESTER576 to Chavo January 11, 2008 23:47:23

Hahaha.

The musicians are talented, the songwriting is downright goofy and forever endearing, and the wacky Les Claypool basically invented the most mind-blowing way to play the bass and thus turned it into a psychotic piece of art. Claypool's an unmedicated genius.

Well, most of my friends love them as well, but they are seriously underrated.

I enjoyed seeing GWAR live. They put on a great show and have a great band history (coming from outer space and all). But Motorhead plays A+ great music and never hit it big like they should have. Don't knock the other bands
JESTER576 to Fef December 02, 2007 18:34:18

Very true. Motorhead rarely gets the credit they deserve.....it sucks.
Fef to JESTER576 December 03, 2007 08:37:28

at first I thought you meant "motorhead sucks"... I thought fersure you'd like them. Then I saw you did when I read your comment below "Lemme rocks"... He does.
