European metal is far more superior than the current lame ones in united states, as a matter of fact...Scandinavian and german ones are best.
I was thinking he meant bands more along the lines of In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Vader, Opeth, Necrophagist, Bathory... ect.
It depends what kind of metal you like. But I agree though, the best metal comes from Scandinavia, Germany and GB.
Whoa now, some Glam Metal was fucking awesome, Motley Crue in some stages can be considered Glam, Europe is Glam too in some stages, so is Whitesnake, Glam bands like Cinderella and Poison though, yeah those deffinetly sucked. Opeth kicks ass, the poster after me mentioned them. Everything else I'm kinda on the outs, not into much modern bands because most of them copy older artists.
Like I said, glam metal was a stage, the bands that were only glam metal obviously suck, like Quiet Riot. Motley Crue, Def Leppard, those bands are great.
Well I say europe death and black metal pwns american death and black metal. But we up them in thrash and speed metal.
The USA have Weakling Judas Iscariot Xasthur I Shalt Become/Birkenau Twilight Leviathan Lurker of Chalice Acid Bath/Sangre (black metal speedcore) Iced Earth Megadeth Novembers Doom (may have missed a few but generally, that's it as far as I'm concerned). Europe has, like... all the rest...
Don't forget Suffocation Cyptopsy Metallica Anthrax Vio-Lence Testament Death Pantera Deicide Obituary Voivod Annihilator Kataklysm Danzig Dream Theater Dying Fetus Exodus Unearth Suicidal Tendencies Superjoint Ritual Six Feet Under Mastodon Slayer The Mighty Nimbus ect, ect..
