3:45 as a European and former metal musician speaking, I think it's a different mindset. Europe has a very big and widespread metal scene and im sorry to say, Americans seem to think that there the 'centre of the world'. Over here in Europe we dont think this way. To tour with in Europe you can make enough $$ and reach enough fans to make a very well good living and for most bands that enough. Never the less is the fact that the visa requirements in the u.s. are so hard end expensive for Europeans that I can understand that most European metal musicians dodge this bullet.

definitely, i'm from canada. i've interacted with lots of european metalheads on forums such as facebook and reddit. Europe as a whole is more dedicated to music compared to north americans, i've spoken to europeans in chats who talked about quitting jobs and sometimes careers to attend festivals and shows. i've rarely met people from canada or the states who do that to go see a show. europe also has the short travel distance advantage as well. the american visa requirements are the same problems with canadian bands as well, which makes it shitty for the fans as well who would want to see said bands.

As Julie Weir current head of music for nations and former boss of visible noise who discovered BMTH/Bullet for my valentine said in a seminar, the British bands that do best in the US are either uniquely British eg the oasis, arctic monkeys crowd or sound American like funeral for a friend, bring me the horizon, bullet for my valentine.

@KingVibe Год назад

Asking alexandria was def apart of that category. But they completely moved to America.

@ericv7720 Год назад

I saw In Flames two or three times on their first big US tour back in 2001 with Nevermore, Shadow's Fall, and a few others, and I was a fan for half a decade before that. I was just floored that a European band that I had long since been into cared to play the US!

@Vickyeverythingelsewastaken Год назад

As a German, Americans seem to prefer their imported music to be more 4/4 on the nose and they LOVE a local cliché. Rammstein is an obvious example when it comes to metal, but let's not forget Kraftwerk. Electronic music wouldn't be what it is today if the US audience didn't adore these cold teutonic automatons this much on their first tour.

The Style of European metal bands is a bit complicated to American taste, at least that's how it seemed to me, an outsider to both continents. Not just Metal, Rock bands from Europe too. And we are not even talking about the decline (from mainstream platform) of both rock & metal genre.

@bhbuzzco7719 Год назад

I loved sounds of the underground!! In flames was touring with come clarity when i saw that show, also saw Gwar, dog fashioned disco, like such a good time! Sadly only saw it come through once dont think that went on for long but it was great none the less

@markthefuzz9321 Год назад

Miss that festival. Saw the 2007 fest with Lamb of God w/ Gwar and Hatebreed in KY at the Waverly Hills Sanatorium a long time ago. Good times!

@rubaidaallen2764 Год назад

With the exception of a few bands like Meshuggah, Gorjira, Opeth etc it does seem like European bands don’t do as well in the States. It’s a real shame, ‘cause some of the European metal bands are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@gx1tar1er Год назад

Modern American culture overall doesn't care about metal as much as the European culture. It also depends on a metal genres though. I mostly hear more black metal, folk metal, symphonic metal bands from Europe than in America.

@MortuusMachina 11 месяцев назад

European Metal is certainly more rich and varied than American Metal. Europeans tend to value richer melody, and chord structures whereas American Metal values groove and a destructive heaviness in their music

@theblah12 5 месяцев назад

I think in America hardcore, metalcore, deathcore and other -core adjacent genres are more popular over there than traditional metal music. There was the whole “Midwest Metalcore” scene and so on, very culturally American. Likewise those same bands rarely toured outside the US and in Europe the genre was not quite as popular.

@gx1tar1er 5 месяцев назад

@@theblah12 i think the whole punk genre (including hardcore punk, emo, pop punk etc.) are more popular than the whole metal genre in America. However, the metal scene in the UK is getting less popular than the other Europe countries, too. It seems like big metal fests tend to happen over there.

America lacks the castles and antique buildings that you need as inspiration to write and appreciate Power Metal and Symphonic Metal. 😊

I don't think most people here in the US give a shit about culture, especially European culture. It sucks. I am deep into film and my favorite filmmaker is Danish. His daughter is sexy too and makes some great europop. But anyway yeah I don't think people really give a shit and that kinda sucks in my opinion. That is a general view but there is truth to it

@marvintimke3978 Год назад

Who is that Danish filmmaker?

@Sheenoobie Год назад

Your comment makes it seem like you only care about that filmmaker because of his "sexy" daughter. No wonder why it seems like americans dont give a shit culture...

The comment I'm looking for. xD To be fair, American metal bands from 80s & 90s were the flag bearers. Starting around mid 2000s, almost nothing is worthy of my attention. Their European counterparts did better until today.
