I can't think of a band that people consider a HUGE band across the world (festival headliners everywhere) that don't have a considerbale number of people that can't stand them. For instance, Radiohead, Muse, Kings of Leon etc.

Actually, I suppose Arcade Fire don't have many haters, but apart from that are there any?

We're talking bands that are still making records right? If so...nah, I don't know any. Unless metal bands count as globally big, then Iron Maiden works.

Yeah I've seen quite a few Killers haters out there. Arctic Monkeys, similarly have quite a few haters of their most recent stuff. U2 is a good shout though, although people make fun of Bono a considerable amount >_>

First of all

how are Iron Maiden not 'big'

second of all
why do you think they are universally loved

on U2

I'm not sure how many people actually hate them. A lot of people think they are overrated, or average, but hate? Not sure about that. I mean some guy I used to work with who was a huge music hipster hated them, but he also liked Mumford and Sons, and disliked Arcade Fire.

Nobody hates on Iron Maiden on the same level as Radiohead or Muse. This is a hard fact.

And I was hesitant to call them big because let's face it, the metal scene often looks way bigger than it actually is, to the point even one of its top bands might not be as popular as I think they are.

U2 are still amazingly huge and they're still making records. They get tons of hate, but otherwise they fit.

I really don't see that much Radiohead hate in the "real world" actually - there's some vocal internet haters who are like "I JUST DON'T GET IT YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS" but most people I run into day to day are like "hmm yeah they sound familiar I guess? maybe if you played me some of their songs." Mostly don't know who they are!

People who say The Edge isn't a good guitarist are kind of trolling (and tbh the same goes for saying Bono can't sing but yeah), but they definitely get hated hard online, to the point it's rarer to hear someone say they LIKE u2 than hearing someone say they hate it.

do you just think your personal perspective is fact or something?

They are more popular than most already popular bands posted in this topic. I don't see why you would argue that they aren't.



I hate Iron Maiden by the way. Guess that makes me the one of the few.

That's because people mostly aren't dicks IRL and don't feel the need to tell everyone how much they hate a band like they do on the internet

Butz sort of beat me to it, but yeah, I could care less if SOMEBODY hates them. The point of the topic is finding a popular band without a large hatedom, and Maiden fits that.

Look for Pride (in the name of love), Rattle and Hum version. It's no Joe Satriani solo, but it's definitely very well executed. Edge is a performer, not a technician, so obviously he doesn't pull off super technical solos, but then again, neither did Pete Townshend, John Lennon, or...etc.
