Things America has won:
2. World War 2

this is way too simplistic, I would rather say the Allies won WWII. But I don't want to get into that debate.

When it comes to this thread, nothing good comes out of England.. Except for maybe soccer

That I care about.

England: Top Gear, car companies, comedians, historic architecture.

America: Food, fighter jets, computers, some metal bands.

Didn't England populate/colonize the modern world?

Yea, and where a lot of embarrassing shit happened. Such as the Salem Witch Trials. It wasn't until like 100 years after that, and living under a stupid monarchy, that people started feeling more American and less British


Viva la revolution!

Things England did:
1. won WWI
2. Won WWII
3. Won war of 1812
4. Invented TVs, computers, and the lightbulb - do some research and you will realise it's true

Things America did:
1. 800 americans die in fast food restaurants every year
2. though that 'war of the worlds' was true

American accent > English accent

Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motörhead
Diamond Head

/thread

Britain does have the best car show Top Gear I'll give 'em that lol certainly better than American Top Gear. They do have good soccer players also.

BUT

We did win the revolutionary war, have the most technologically advanced army in the world and we are in the most debt... its a draw the way I see it haha

P.S. (I am in no way trying to challenge anyone or get in a fight with anyone... just trying to defend my country :D)

And I could go on and on, but I'm tired.

Not only are half those bands not even metal, but none of them except maybe Slayer can stand up to the ones I listed.

>yfw when talking about metal

Dream Theater>Everything Else IMO. They're all one of, if not the best musicians in the world. Except for James Labrie.

I love how Americans are so proud of their army, the same army that was defeated by one of the poorest countries in the world; North Vietnam. No offence to anyone who know's someone, but you get the point.
What matters to me:
Music: Britain. We had The Smiths. But even without The Smiths; Elton John, David Bowie, Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Queen (the greatest proper rock band of all time, no doubt in my mind) Depeche Mode, invented heavy metal which the Americans are useless at, I could go on and on
Food: I was gonna give this to America but your 'French Fries' can't be compared to our chips. Calling them fries annoys me enough, but they're from Belgium ffs, which isn't some State in France or whatever Americans will be thinking right now.

Dream Theater is great, but they don't hold a candle to the bands I listed. They may have better musicians, sure, but in terms of legacy, legendary status, influence, worldwide recognition, etc., not a chance.


America isn't useless at metal. Saying that shows you listen to very little or you simply cannot recognize good metal. Other than Black Sabbath and NWOBHM, England isn't known for anything else metal-related. The US has a solid death metal scene in Florida, and you cannot ignore the thrash metal origins from San Francisco. The only other real competitor is the German Big Three (Kreator, Destruction, and Sodom), but they're obviously not British.

christ i say one thing bad about america and people can't take it. yeah i bet they know their origin... besides fries is short for french fries anyway so it's just as bad. the bottom line is they don't taste as good as our chips, im sad to say. anyone who'd had both will agree, unless they just want to support america regardless.
About the metal, I don't like metal although i used to, but it's about how good the bands are not how many. Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Iron Maiden, that stuff has a tune. Death Metal and 'nu' metal are completely and utterly tuneless 'look at me im a badass' music. I guess the thrash metal stuff isn't as bad. But I just can't take death metal and nu metal seriously and I can't enjoy music that I'd rather laugh at. In fact you know what I'm tempted to give America the point for music because England made metal in the first place and without us Slipknot, Korn, System of a down, and the countless death metal bands (apart from death who probably weren't death metal if anyone's honest) would hopefully never have existed.
But that's just my opinion.
