The most important thing about Germany for me is that I want to get out!
 
America is great and Bush isnt stupid but anyway I'd love to see what England is like. America has a lot of good music. Not the greatest band of all time though. But theres ac/dc, Metallica, Megadeth, Guns n' roses, many more. America rules.
 
Sorry to disappoint you, but AC/DC aren't American... [!--emo&-_---][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sleep.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sleep.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

I agree. Let me clarify what I said before in this thread: America invented rock 'n' roll; however, the British perfected it. Yes, America has produced some great bands; England has produced many, many more.

Spanish horses called "Andalusian" - yes
but read on:

The Lipizzaners take their name from their original stud farm in Lipic (Lipizza), a small village north of Trieste, in present day Slovenia. The stud was established as early as the sixteenth century by Archduke Karl II to breed Spanish horses. Illustrations, pedigrees, and studbooks document the various Lipizzaner lines which still exist today.

Following the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire the imperial stud farm was divided between Italy and Austria. In 1920 the Austrian Lipizzaners were brought to an already existing state stud farm at Piber in the province of Styria, where they continue to be stabled.

Angus and Malcom are from Glasgow, Bonn from Kirriemur near Dundee. I guess he became Australian because he moved there very early ( in 1952). Brian Johnson was born in Dunston near Newcastle.
