Thing is with me, I have been a hard rock /heavy metal fan since I could walk. (influenced by my older siblings records. My brother was into Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who and my sister was into Uriah Heep beside the disco that was coming on at that time she was also very much into the alternative music in the mid 70`s.. Camel, Lake, and so on) I "inherited my brothers passion for Led Zeppelin Deep Purple and the bands that came out of Purple( Rainbow, Whitesnake, Ian Gillan Band, Tommy Bolin, Glenn Hughes) In my early teens Iron Maiden and Judas Priest was hitting it big so I jumped on that wave as well.
I am at an age where new heavy bands doesnt really do it for me at all. I had my heavy time and I cherish those band I loved as a teen very much, no new band can take their place so I tend to listen to the new stuff, buy what I like but again they will never be a passion as it is with the "good old stuff"
Just wanted to say a bit form where I am coming from and what my views are, if I say a band might be overrated it aint to bash those who enjoy it, it is my personal opinion on the matter and in my mind nothing can top the trio of Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath.
But who am I to complain, I do understand that the "prime" dudes today love the stuff that comes out and deservedly so I really hope youall enjoy your stuff as I enjoyed mine and still do
