In general that's true for most genres of music and types of band etc. But here we're talking about the 'metal genre' which is a fairly tight community wherever you go in the world and there is a general consensus on what's good and bad. But here you're saying the dividing line is between regions namely the US and UK that have very large metal followings. Sounds like a Metallica paradox to me.
