I had hopes for FFDP until their recent cover of "House Of The Rising Sun", it was like hearing Seether's "Careless Whisper" and Godsmack's "Rocky Mountain Way" played at the same time during a prostate exam.

They have a few good songs. I like their cover of Bad Company. They're big supporters of the military which is a huge plus in my book.

I was done when they covered Bad Company and changed the lyrics.

This is the best thread VN has produced in awhile.

And to answer the OP, no, just no. Metallica and FFDP should never be mentioned in the same sentence.

Unless the sentence goes as follows..."Metallica and FFDP should never be mentioned in the same sentence".

Good laughs though.

I clicked on this thread hoping to see other fans of the band like me, but all I see are haters. Later, Rednecks!

I liked their first 2 albums ok, but ever since they've been meh.

They are decent but they are definitely not the next Metallica. I like many other hard rock/metal bands compared to them.

Their music is good, to me even great, and I don't like Metallica at all. I'm 20 fwiw.

HOWEVER, no they aren't the Metallica of the modern era. Whether it's the fact their music isn't as good to most of society, or the fact that rock/metal doesn't have the following it used to, it's something. 20 years from now you won't see 5FDP shirts in stores like Kohls and you do with metallica's now. Metallica were kings of an era, no rock band will be musical kings of this era as sad as that is. A7X were probably as close as it gets and they are miles away.

Side note: 5FDP is great live for those into modern rock/metal music.

Maybe it's because the industry now collectively offers more and the radio doesn't choose what people listen to anymore. Harder for one band to dominate "the airwaves" if no one listens to the airwaves. Not sad at all.

The last, closest "kings" as you described, were Linkin Park. You look at what they did in the 2000's and its not even close. And that was before they had arguably the greatest collaboration album of the decade as well.

Who said anything about radio? I'm talking about dominating the industry. Net sales of albums, iTunes sales, etc. I bet not one single rock/metal/etc band is on the top 15 of album sales this year at the end of the year (but that is me making a number up).

It is definitely sad. My name on here indicates I like rap, I just really enjoy my rock/metal too. Tons of good bands out there it's just a hurting genre. I live in the Atlanta area and there is one rock station in all of GA that I know of and it plays awful alternative rock. There are probably 5ish really popular pop stations and 3 or so for rap and country each. There isn't a single station here that will play new 5FDP music, new Shinedown music, new A7X music, etc. Not one. That to me is sad even though I don't listen to radio anyways :crazy:
