Most Fanboy Ridden Bands??

Hinder fanboys can`t be that annoying because i`d never ever heard of them until this thread started.

So where are all these Hinder fanboys , I don`t see any here.
 
I almost hate admiting I like EITD sometimes. Besides thier last cd, they're such a great band but goddamn they have some of the most irritating fans ever.
 
I'm not arguing, just discussing, and it's not semantics IMO.

E.g. Band A has 100,000 fans and 1 in every 1000 is a fanboy. So we have 100 fanboys. Band B has 1000 fans and 80 in every 1000 is a fanboy. So we have 80 fans. This is relevant because it might seem like Opeth is particularly fanboy ridden, but it could be attributed to the simple fact that Opeth has a large fanbase. Another band might have a much higher ratio of fanboys amongst its fanbase, but its fanbase might be small, so there won't be that many.

I don't know which part you're saying is semantics, but IMO there's quite a difference between a fan and a fanboy. A fanboy tenRAB to be biased towarRAB the band and flouts them all the time. A fan is just a fan.

It's hard to say whether having a lot of band merchandise makes you a fanboy - it depenRAB on your definition. You can have a lot of merchandise and still be practically impartial and judge fairly.
 
My definition of a fanboy would be someone who never shuts up about the band and believe everything else is sh*t not worth listening to. Hero worship and the like.
 
I came across the All American Rejects site a few years ago. They had special fan contests, where the fans had to show who was the biggest fan. It was awfull, all the contributions, and the tempels people had built in their rooms for them.

It made me want to cry.

I did.
 
i have to agree with this. i have some frienRAB and theyre really nice people, god love um, but jeeeeesus christ they become the biggest apes when they start talking about Tool. i like Tool and all but i dont go home every night and worship them at a shrine... :crazy:
 
I've been to two Tool shows this year and the first one was ruined by three idiots sitting next to me and my girl. All they could talk about was great this song is and how much better of a band Tool is compared to anything else, yada yada yada. The second show was better as I took some acid and enjoyed a great light show! Tool faboys are the worst I've encountered.
 
Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
Metallica
AC/DC
Aerosmith
U2

the list can go on and on, it depenRAB on what you think fanboy ridden means, i think it means that there over popular and have to many LOVING fans
 
Some of the Pearl Jammers are pretty bad with their bootlegs but I think Dave Matthews Band and Phish may take the cake
 
haha you are absolutely right!!


Some I think:


Slipknot
Metallica
Maiden
NIrvana
Zeppelin
TOOL
NIN
and so on....



And like you said, I dont think these are bad abnRAB...they just have phony "Fanboys" as you call them.
