I mean the UK MADE metal and punk and has to win those scenes. 60s rock was pretty much a UK scene too with Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, and Led Zep (as well as some heavier Beatles songs). The US has unbeatable bluesy and more country style rock though, and thrash is one of the best metal deviations and distinctly American.

The Americans invented Rock'n'Roll Music. The British invented Rock Music.

[@sylvesternava1343]

But Africans were who invented music

[@lueysixty-six7300]

@@sylvesternava1343 Uh, No! Every culture has music back to the dawn of time. It's a natural human thing to hum to oneself melodies in some sort of rhythm. Africans did, however invent jazz and blues...which both went on to evolve into Rock. More recently, they invented rap. Me, I like hard rock - from Guns n Roses to pearl jam , Smashing Pumkins to NIN... RHCP to RATM. Anyway, I fully tilt my hat to the African people (particularly African American), in recognition of the fact that without them, pretty much none of the popular music over the last 70 would have come to be. Further, you could realise that without slavery, Rock/Blues/Jazz/Rap/Metal/Nu-metal/R&B/Pop would never have happened! In fact, all music directed at young ppl would not have happened, and music would still be being made by stuffy, conservative middle aged white men, for stuffy, conservative middle etc etc. You get the picture. It would have been bland! Imagine who you would be now if you grew up without music to connect with...

If Slash (he was born in UK) is in USA riffs because of an american band, why Hendrix isn't in UK riffs? His career with the Experience were mostly from UK.

I think it had a lot to do with ww2. White kids in the UK "got" blues and r&b more than the white kids in America. TRhe UK was fucked after the war. All the greats from the UK were piss poor kids who had nothing. From the Blues and rock and roll we made Rock and Metal. That opened it all up to the kids in America who did their own thing.
