Don't forget L.A. for hair metal and nu-metal. http://www.animated-smileys.com/smil...-puking-27.gif

And most of them just sounded like the last fifty? I think the US may have a bigger percentage of crap than any other country.

And every word of this I agree with. We here in England may suck sometimes, but I don't think our bullsh*t factor is as high as the states.

I'd disagree with you but I think you're probably right.

Norway has to have the single most overrated metal scene. I'd take Brazil, Canada or Australia's metal scene over that of Norway and their horrid melodic black metal any day.

I sort of agree with that. There are certainly some Norwegian bands I like but it does seem like a lot of the metal bands I hear from there are kind of middle of the road.

Did you know that there's only one mainstream symphonic metal band in all Cheshire?

Well as far as I know there are none in Philadelphia. So there.:p:

You go one better, you've got your own symphonic metal record label.

I'll admit they work in France too, but it still counts.

And by the way, your post count now reads "11 222". How epic is that!!!

Damnit. Well hopefully the fact that we're also the home of Relapse cancels that right out.
