Title: Your country's contribution to Rock N' Roll (Non US, UK) Post by: Genesis on May 03, 2007, 09:37:22 AM I know this sounds like a stupid thread, but I couldn't help but wonder after finding out that Freddie Mercury was Indian. So, what's your country done to make Rn'R better? Be it a band or a musician that has influenced Rock in some way.
Since I come from India, these are the ones I know of: Musicians: 1) Freddie Mercury (Queen, one of the greatest frontmen of all time) 2) Kim Thayil (Lead Guitarist, SoundGarden) Instruments: 1) The Sitar has influenced everybody from the Beatles to Guns N' Roses. Title: Re: Your country's contribution to Rock N' Roll (Non US, UK) Post by: stolat on May 03, 2007, 09:53:41 AM In Australia we have an unique phenomenon called Pub Rock. Two band of note here are - The Angels and Cold Chisel.
Also, we have a little known band called AC/DC. The original lead singer, Bon Scott - ROCKED! Title: Re: Your country's contribution to Rock N' Roll (Non US, UK) Post by: DarkFairy on May 03, 2007, 10:03:20 AM Hanoi Rocks 8)

Title: Re: Your country's contribution to Rock N' Roll (Non US, UK) Post by: Butch Français on May 05, 2007, 09:03:23 PM A-HA and Turbonegro of course.
also tons of black or death metal bands, I don't care what the difference between the two are. I also see albums by Madrugada in record shops here in Brussels, and people I know have seen them on festivals here, so they seem to get some attention outside of Norway. I have also heard Kaizers Orchestra down here, I can't really figure out why though. not that they're awful or anything, but they sing in norwegian... a girl put it on and asked me countinously through the song, "whats he singing?" I guess there are other ones too, but they ain't coming to mind at this point. my country right now is Belgium, and I have no idea what they have contributed to rock...not much as far as I know. I think the biggest rock band they've had here the past decade is Deus, and the singer there is half norwegian! (haha) Title: Re: Your country's contribution to Rock N' Roll (Non US, UK) Post by: DEAD HORSE on May 05, 2007, 10:23:25 PM Brazil = Sepultura
