American Metal vs European Metal
 

So which is better, in y opinion european metal has always been better and still is.

I agree. More technical, original, and interesting.

although bands like Byzantine and With Passion are giving them a run for their money.

Eoropean Metal seems more original than American Metal IMO.

I like American Metal for Thrash Metal. But thats about it.

British!#!@$@#$

<3

Couldn't decide.

On one hand you've got european metal...

Maiden, Children of Bodom, Sabbath, In Flames, Arch Enemy.. And the list goes on and on and on...

But then there's American Metal...

Pantera, Machine Head, Slayer, Superjoint Ritual, Metallica, Megadeth etc.

American Metal has Megadeth, so because of my extream bias against Dave Mustaine and all his associates, i will go with European Metal, even though Children of Bodom and many modern european metal bands suck some serious ass, Maiden and Sabbath alone are worth my vote, most american metal bands that are selling records nowadays are **** too...Fates Warning, Symphony X, Queensryche, now those are american metal bands that are actualy worth the hype...and Opeth and Nightwish are good european metal acts.

You're entitled to your opinion that CoB suck but you cannot deny that they are a very talented band.

Mr Miles Davis sucks?.... You have no idea what talent is.

i'd have to go for european metal, to me it just has more variation and melody and seems to give you all that you want to find in metal. but you cant deny that american is also awesome, bands like pantera, slayer and metallica kinda speak for themselves.

I love both, there is no denying the talents of bands like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, Chimeria etc etc. But unfortunutly American metal has a tendancy (in my opinion!!) to go a bit too melodic, which is fine, but I prefer my metal to be long, hard and heavy as ****...Having said that Usurper and Lamb of God are exeptions to that rule. I agree with Kempson, Children of Bodom are very talented, but listen to Decapitated, especially their early stuff. Their first album was done when they were in their teens, the drummer was like 12 or 13!

i know, i know, i'm a noob, but what does IMO mean?[/off topic]

In my opinion.

thank you very much

nooooooob. I just felt like spaming.:afro: afros are tight.

You Sir, do not posses the right to call me a n00b...understand you effin n00b

Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer, Pantera, Mastadon, and do we have Sep?

Edit: Zak Wylde

except for megadeth america has no metal, the finnish and swedes have taken over

children of bodom is very much melodic metal

I never said that Children of Bodom were anything different...I merley said that they were a talented band

u say megadeath is the only american metal band?....i hate to wonder what u consider old school metallica

it would be old school, who cares what happened 20 years ago, right now euro rules metal

not euro, nordic metal rules.

American Metal for me only has Symphony X

ok I second that

Tight^

I love finding new people who like Symphony X

^^^ Not heard of them. Have to check 'em out. Recenly discovered Gorgoroth, I think their from Norway or that region lol!

Cheers. Sweden, Finland and Norway rule power/speed/black metal right now. Russia's getting a badass folk-black metal scene too.

My vote went for European due to the majority of the bands i listen to are european but america also has some damn fine bands... Sarco***o, Black Witchery, Godless North, Judas Iscariot to name a few.

i totally agree with u that euro is dominant......but to say medadeath is the only american metal is ludacrist.....KsE, shadow falls, lamb of god and like wise? what do u consider those?

junk metal in my eyes

yay for more metal kids.



and Euro still crushes. I mean they have Kalmah...KALMAH!

kalmah is awesome, love them

Heroes To Us has been on repeat all afternoon.

great song, just learned it on the guitar, I have Heritance of Berija and Kill The Idealist on repeat

They both have their strong points and their ****ty points...

But I'll go with American.

i prefer European Metal personally.
to be honest all the new american metal is starting to sound a bit samey

my favorite metal band is rammstein so i geuss erupoein

and dont call it industrail is just a fancy word for metal your the same people sort of that call slipknot rap core

Would be the proper way of putting it and your profile says "punk, grunge, industrial, heavy metal, and just plain rock" you used industrial yourself. Your an idiot and industrial metal is a genre moron.

and dont take it out of your profile for that will make you look like a dumbass.

As a New Zealander, I have no biases towards/against either. So,
European metal all the way, but American metal is good as well.
