As I was going over the list of the ethnicities that dominate rock, metal, and punk music, I found that there were very few people of eastern european decent (except the Polish). I don't know if it's because the culture doesn't value music, or if there aren't that many people with that ethnic background that is the cause for this. And this is mostly for well-known people in the mentioned genres.

Gibson SG: The Guitar that Heavy metal was born on
Tony Iommi, the guitarist who is credited with the inventing heavy metal played a Gibson SG. For those who don't know he was the guitarist for Black Sabbath, the band who is credited with inventing Heavy Metal. Some say that all heavy metal comes from Black Sabbath. There are many metal groups influenced by Black Sabbath. Even the grunge movement was influenced by Black Sabbath.
Originally he was going to play Fender Stratocaster, but the Stratocaster pickup broke on him when he was recording. The only other instrument he had was an SG, which he used as a spare. And as they say, the rest is history.
Here are two pictures of an Gibson SG Standard:
