you look at the most popular metal band today, sabaton, they're pretty great, in europe they casually get 50k people, in america they can't fill a public toilet inside a taco bell. americans have shit taste, which is also probably why they toss the salads of led zeppelin, gnr and other shitty bands from various genres so much
