If you look for them on the TV and radio, switch to internet radios, actually, there's cool rock bands in europe
http://www.freakkitchen.com there's a whole album with scary solos on it...


Europe is WAY AHEAD of things in some respects than the U.S. The concept of "loyalty" exists in Europe.Many bands that are 'yesterdays news' in the U.S. are still popular in Europe, particularly the Metal Bands, Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest,etc... In Sweden Jazz in HUGE from what I understand. It's one aspect of the U.S. that dissapointments me. We live in such a Short-Term society in terms of music, and many other things.
