They just don't get it...
Has money and fame ruined rock music in America...

Coldplay? Oasis (yeah, Noel is a dick, but his music is good...0? Gorillaz? Radiohead (the greatest band in the last decade...)? The Hives?

I could go on and on....

rage against the machine, metallica, nirvana are these not freat bands i know there not technically rock but they still offer an alternative where being a dedicated musician is more important than shagging jennifer lopez and having big tits?

sleater kinney, the numbers, sonic youth, deerhouf, i am spoonbender, andrew wk (for pure funly goodness), erase errata, the list goes on....

The fact that good music has to come from the 'underground' really speaks volumes about the state of American culture.

Good music is still being made, just noone plays it. The numbers choose what music plays and blacks are fucking like rabbits!

you forgot Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Mudvayne.

and then there's Canada... well, we got Avril Lavigne, Sloan, Treble Charger, Kittie, Swollen Members, Nickelback, and a few others... well, at least these aren't TOTAL crap.

america has great rock what about slipknot and korn and limp biscuit
(please note sarcasim)

Kittie is total crap.

Any of you guys ever heard of Alkaline Trio,theimpossibles,H2O,deviates,rancid,nofx

These are all good american bands

The White Stripes

Somehow, the White Stripes seem soooo incredibly eighties to me. In a good way, of course.

That's exactly what I ment. Dead leaves on the dirty ground is such a great song title. Good song too, though it gets played too much.

Sorry, but American rock is better than British... and I am British. Beatles nostalgia and "bed-wetting" rock don't really do it for me.

San Francisco used to be a haven for Great rock bands


Santana, Jeffersons Airplane, Night ranger, Y&T, Journey, Huey Lewis and the News, Testament, Metallica and the list goes on and on.


Although I personally like the Mod music from the UK the best we invented rock, punk rock and new wave and not the brits as they claim.

Metallica�s from Downey, Calif

You wanna know why the music in America has gone to crap? 3 Simple letters M.T.V. I hate that fucking station, if it wasn't for that god damn station all the groups would actually play their own music, and write their on lyrics. Who's with me in saying those fuckin terrorists should have flown those plains into the MTV studios instead? Oh yeah, check out a couple bands: NOFX, Muse, American Head Charge, Hatebreed, Slayer, Primer 55, etc.

later guys

P.S. The other day a girl that likes me asked me if I wanted to go to an N'Sync concert, I replied, "Sure! If I can take my Gloc 9."

slayer is german

anybody who actually invokes pukes like Korn and Bizkit in this should be taken out, beaten, and forced to listen to only rock music produced between 67-74 for a year...

Come, Nirvava is gone, man, Kurt saw the music scene, and the man killed himself for it...

Metallica was good up until 'And Justice For All', then that stuff went sour...

You know, a few months ago, I saw Styx and REO SPeedwagon in concert, and it made me sad. It was sooooo good, then I thought, shit, where have all the good bands gone...

I agree, MTV went a long way to pushing good music underground, and paving the way for pretty boys with no talent and no clue what good music really is...

The only metal bands nowadays worth listening to come from Europe.

yea most good music comes from germany and europe but america does make some good music like hatebreed

Most German rock bands are terrible with a few exceptions, The Beatsteaks being one of them.

American underground Metal/Metalcore is very strong right now.

Bloodjinn, TheYearofOurLord, Hyde, CodeSeven, hopesfall..... Many more out there, and that's just Metalcore..... Of course we had to produce Limp Bizkit and make everyone hate us.


Rockstar: TheGloriaRecored is the shit.

EDIT: Yeah, European Metal is much better then any scene in America. If you all like metal take a look at some great Euro groups like: Caliban, HeavenShallBurn, The Haunted, M�erser, Pray Silent...
