American music

When I hear America... the first thing that comes into my mind is the Nu Metal band Slipknot. I remember how rock has developed so fast since the 50's until now, and it's inevitable to think about all the rock rhythms that were born in the USA.

I love bands such as Disturbed, Metallica, or Limp Bizkit. I like to see how people from bands like The Devil Wears Prada can do such great music. I love how some people can sing using guttural or screaming voices. I can do guttural stuff, but "screamo" is really difficult.

I think that many people in Mexico like the USA rock: my parents love Creedence Clearwater Revival's music, my siblings love Korn, and my girlfriend's favourite band is The Killers. My best friend listens to Avenged Sevenfold, I mean, everybody in the world has listened to a rock song from the USA, and I am so sure that they liked it.
