you shoulda made the thread about bands from non-english speaking countries, cause you can jump oceans all day and still be speaking english, and listening to practically the same tunes. most of anything gets released overseas along side it's across-the-pond version. ac/dc was from australia, but noone really thinks twice about it. im sure some people would insist theyre as american as apple pie :P~


ill toss my hat into the ring however


iceland: sigur ros
chzech republic: jig-ai
sweeden: peter bjorn and john
italy: la quiete
brazil: chuck norris (always assumed they were from mexico for some reason untill i looked it up to double check)
japan: boris, melt banana, hanatarash, gerogerigegege
jamaica: bob marley (duh?), sister nancy

[xanosz]

Anvil(Canada)
Helloween(Germany)
Sweet(Uk)
Deep Purple(Uk)

I think all my other favorites have already been mentioned.

I think we should define foreign bands as bands that do not sing in your first language. For instance, my first language is English, so I'm discounting bands from the USA, Australia, New Zealand and such from being foreign. On that basis, I think my favourite foreign band would probably be Rammstein.

[RedSawn]

RAGE.

Just RAGE, not RATM.

[Velocity EVO]

Rammstein (Germany)
All That Remains (USA)
Flogging Molly (Ireland)
and many others

[Naryar]

RAGE.

Just RAGE, not RATM.

[Somebody]

Three Days Grace (Canada)
Ozzy (UK)
