Steel Dragon Anglo-American Band?
I was thinking about the nationalities of the Steel Dragon band members. Jason Flemyng as Bobby Beers, Dominic West as Kirk Cuddy and Jason Bonham as A.C. were British. Zakk Wylde as Ghode and Jeff Pilson as Jorgen were American. When I think about the classic rock and metal bands that I grew up listening to their original lineups were almost always either English or American, not both. When those bands replaced members nationality was not important. They seemed to hire good players who fit in with the band. Were Ghode and/or Jorgen ever referred to as the "new guys"?
For example, Judas Priest started to come together in 1969 in Birmingham, England. All of the band members were from the Birmingham area. In 1989 American Scott Travis joined the band as drummer. And in 1996 American Tim "Ripper" Owens joined as lead singer. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple are also English bands that hired American musicians as replacements.
The only band I can think of with an Anglo-American original lineup is Foreigner. Their original lineup consisted of three English and three American musicians. Someone said no matter where they were there would be at least three foreigners in the band. That remark inspired their name. Coincidentally two members of the fictitious Steel Dragon played with Foreigner. Jason Bonham was their drummer from 2004 to 2008. And Jeff Pilson has been their bass player since 2004.
