    And come to Portugal (own venue, not festival...)!

    3 Trivium
    Well...Crusade isn't as good as the other albuns...and the albuns seem like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs...and Matt's cleaner vocals are lame D:

    4 Tenacious D
    Truly Stupid...for the better and for the worse...Can't you guys grow up? Jack is always over-acting, it's getting boring...

    5 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
    The first few albuns are weird, Nick can't sing properly and some lyrics are really really twisted...ok, the last one wasn't really a bash xD
    And I'm fed up of that Kylie duet! D:

    6 Paradise Lost
    Hey dudes, what kind of life do you have? Do you even smile? Life can be good, ya know? But please, write more songs like "Forever Failure" please :) we don't really care if you're depressed all the time...

    7 Metallica
    SELL-OUT!!!!!!!!
    No, I won't bash St. Anger (ahahah it is better than Death Magnetic!), I think you're overrated nowadays, there are (and were!!!) a ton of bands better than you, and you aren't even true Trash D:
    Oh, and firing Dave Mustaine? For the love of Pete, what were you thinking? D:

    8 Dream Theater

    9 The Offspring
    Suited for 15 year-old kids, who are mad at the world, and like songs with no more than 3 chords...15 Years with no evolution...Seriously, guys?

    10 Moonspell
    Some lyrics are truly pointless, Mike isn't a very good drummer (sorry mate, it's true...), Fernando sings in some sort of Russian English...You're the most well known Portuguese band out of Portugal because Ramp didn't made the "outside" jump...

    11 Howard Shore
    Oh no, I'm hearing the same theme passage for the 50th time in the same disc D:

    Why were you junkies? Did you know it could kill you? Layne, there is no right in killing yourself! Selfish bastard, thanks to you, we can't hear more from you guys D:

    13 Opeth
    Some songs are "over-progressive" :S please, you can keep it simple sometimes...

    14 Bush
    GAVIN, YOU REALLY MARRIED GWEN? D: FAIL!
    And "The Science of Things" is a true disasterpiece...

    15 Danko Jones
    Well, I bet you haven't done a tenth of what you brag about in your lyrics...show-off!

    16 Incubus
    Too "girlie" sometimes...well...most of the times...

    17 In Flames
    Getting really fed up of them! I can't even hear "Whoracle" or "Jester Race" for 15 minutes straight :S
    And this last album...what the hell was that? We don't want copy/paste...
