There are actually lots of good rock and heavy metal bands
from the states. The newer bands all sound pretty much alike
though. Some of the good bands which come to mind are Metallica,
Megadeth, Pantera and lately Limp Bizkit.

Havnt seen that one. Ive "talked" to a few Canadians on the net,
and they all seem to have french as their first language, and
"speak" english like a 7 yr old boy. Its a wonder they dont actually
learn to speak better english, being as close as they are to the
US. Fortunately, Taco Bell havnt spread their influence to our
country yet. Guess they'll have to compete with McDonalds and Burger
King for the worst "food" award :)
