Visit Birmingham. It will probably convince you that Britain should never be allowed metal bands ever again. There's about 1000 metal bands in this city and in my opinion they're all rubbish. There's a particularly large number of 'classic' rock and 'classic' metal bands, who use that word as if it were a good thing. Nobody should ever play retro and this counts a hundred fold for people who are going to play retro but somehow make the music a whole lot crapper...Led Zepellin may have been from the West Midlands, but they did not use just two chords through an entire song, they didn't play out of time and with no dynamic variation and THEY WEREN'T FAT... so you're not Led Zepellin, guys.

P.S. You seem to have completely changed your opinion between posts, baker. First there are lots of British bands and no exciting ones, then there's lots of exciting ones which nobody has heard of. Which is it?????
