Metallica are amazing. 90% of their work is great. Tool is also mostly great. Sure you guys don't just hate their fanbase and not the actual music those great bands create? I'm sorry, I just can't imagine someone sitting down and listening to a whole record from those bands, with unbiased ears, and walking away saying, "Yeah this band is AWFUL. I HATE them." There are tons of shitty, untalented bands making SHIT music. Sure, Metallica and Tool might be shitty to your ears, no matter what I say, but come on... really, the most HATED bands you can THINK of?! Quotes like "get way too much praise & airplay over here" make me really stop and think... I guess there should be a distinction made here. A person's most hated band isn't necassarily the worst music they've ever heard. So, it makes sense now. I answered my own question.
Also, to whoever mentioned Captain Beefheart, I hope you're kidding. Beefheart's a genius.
