Hey, is Europe not important anymore? its the MTV Europe awards...you guys need your own booty bash. neh Europe sucks. as you know. you're the one who left Europe to live in the States! European music is by and large, dreadful. 90% of the bands who win awards will be either american or British and while i am well aware that Britian is a part of Europe - i don't, and never will, consider myself European!

Have to say I disagree AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Oasis, Iron Maiden, The Beatles, The Who, Rory Gallagher, Van Morrison, Travis, Coldplay to name but a few are all european, that's some of the best bands in the world and although I consider myself Scottish I'd say I was european before I'd say I was British. English music is of the highest standard I would say

I used to think AC/DC were australian. But it turns out the key members are Scottish, and they only started playing in Australia. Then they added some Aussie guys.

English music is of the highest standard I would say well my opinion on European music kinda depends on my opinion on Europe in general - i try hard not to consider Britain part of Europe so all those bands you mentioned are to me, British - not European. and yes British music is of the highest standard. i always thought AC/DC were Australian even though i knew the lead singer and guitarists are british! i guess i never thought about it too much my sole, pathetic claim to fame - my band once played a gig in front of the lead singer from AC/DC ;D

And that is pretty much the band since they wrote all the songs. Now and then the other two members would chip in on songwriting but most songs were written by Angus. Once Bon Scott died they replaced him with a singer from England so it's defianetly a Scottish/English band nowadays.

BRITNEY CALLS IN SICK Britney Spears has pulled out of the MTV Music Awards. She had been due to present an award at the ceremony in Edinburgh on Thursday. But organisers have confirmed ill health has forced the 21-year-old to withdraw from the event. BRITNEY RUNS HOME TO MUM Pop queen Britney Spears pulled out of last week's MTV awards ceremony because she had just been dumped by her boyfriend, according to reports. Britney was said to have cancelled her appearance at the Edinburgh bash and flown home to her mum in Louisiana. Her publicists had blamed her non-appearance on a bout of the flu. Dancer Columbus Short devastated the young star when he walked out on her and went back to his pregnant wife, Brandi, the News of the World reports. The split comes after Britney was seen snogging Columbus in California and then threw a lavish birthday bash in New York. She was even said to have treated him to a secret love-in in Italy. A source told the paper: "It wasn't just MTV she walked out on but all promotion for her new album." "She was due to play G.A.Y at the Astoria in London last night with Madonna, who sang on her new single. "But that's been a disaster in itself as it's already dropped out of the US Top 30 in just three weeks."
