Fans discuss bands with “least amount of haters”

Last week Matt n Jerry set off to discover ‘The Four Pillars of the most hated Rock Bands’ and New Zealand voted in their thousands. Hotly contested however the final result was.. -Red Hot Chilli Peppers -Greenday -U2 -Nickelback  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Matt and Jerry Show (@mattandjerryshow) Now that this has been settled that only leaves one question.. Which bands are most loved? Fans have taken to Reddit to discuss this very question, over on r/MetalForTheMasses user VoidedGreen047 has posed the debate over the “Band with the least amount of haters”. The post features a photo of Alice In Chains. The individual who posed the question noted that they don't see Alice In Chains and some other classic bands, such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, get a lot of flak. Naturally Nickelback was thrown around sarcastically but everyone gathered to discuss and mention certain artists throughout the thread, others either upvoted the comment in agreement, or responded explaining why they don't like that musician or band. To organize the discussion a bit, we included photos of some of the artists that were mentioned below   Motorhead Coming in right at the top with the most liked suggestion was Rock legends Motorhead with a lot of the responses to the comment mentioning the late Lemmy Kilmister. A couple of people noted that they're not particularly a fan of Motorhead's music, but because of Lemmy's reputation and legacy, they could never dislike the band. "I don't dislike 'em at all. But I genuinely just don't like Lemmy's singing style that much. It's just grating at times. Though they're one of the most important, genre defining metal bands, and they have my utmost respect for that." "Never really got into them but I've always respected them. I love Lemmy as well. Rest in peace." "I don’t even enjoy the music and I can’t hate, too badass."   Black Sabbath Another heavily mentioned band was the mighty God Fathers of Metal, Black Sabbath. One of the most popular responses noted that fans of the band's different eras — Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio — often have something against other. "My first response was SABBATH!!!! But yeah, then I remembered that they released music in the 90s..." "The haters are so sad to see. Albums from all eras have their gems. I’ll admit I was Ozzy only Sabbath fan but now I almost never go back to those Ozzy albums as I’m just enjoying everything Sabbath did after him that I ignored for so long."     Iron Maiden One of the more surprising mentions that sparked a lot of conversation was creators of the album ‘The Number Of The Beast’ the one and only Iron Maiden "I'm a medium-heavy Maiden fan, but my wife doesn't like them much and didn't enjoy the concert we went to. Not because of the music, but the general vibe of the audience. It's funny because even though Maiden is basically power metal, the fans have this weird drunken redneck biker vibe at their shows." "My wife took me to see them a few years ago for my birthday, she’s never been a fan of them but had a great time at the show. Crowd seemed to be a good mix of people each time I’ve seen them."   Who do you think have ‘The least haters’ out there?
