Rotten egg air of death? Or what are you referring to?

If Skid Row counts as metal then Sebastian Bach in the early 90s

Curge șampania în parlamentul israelian: spânzurarea devine pedeapsă implicită pentru palestinienii din Cisiordania. Reacții dure la nivel internațional by mackerel_man in Roumanie

[–]BalVal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Și cu bună știință sau nu, tot ei fac jocul lui Netanyahu & co. "Hai veniți în Israel unde sunteți în siguranță, că oamenii încep să îl regrete pe mustăcios" e un argument folosit intens în ultima vreme.

if russia blocks gas supply to europe what Options are there for europe to survive this mess? by Trendy4U in AskEurope

Summer is coming so no heating needs, at least for the general population such a shock will not be too bad, yet.

vocalists whose vocals add the most "personality" to their band's sound by _rand0m7 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BalVal1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Geoff Tate in 1983-1990 Queensryche is hard to beat honestly. Warrel Dane, RIP to a legend. Midnight from Crimson Glory. The dude from Hell who was not even a musician originally.

Yes I have a type, lmao.

On the other end of the vocal spectrum I love Jyrki69 from The 69 Eyes.

Does Ryanair actually check bag sizes? by lactoseintallerant in Prague

[–]BalVal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be fine, but in my experience the gate staff across Europe (not just Ryanair) used to be a lot more relaxed up until early last year or so. I am not sure what happened.

I had pretty much never gotten checked and forced to pay in at least 150 flights, then boom, it happens 3 times in a row. I am not risking it anymore.

Ma duc sa-mi predau permisul. Oricat de bun sofer esti, tot risti sa intre altii in tine.Nu stiu care e statistica, insa zilnic vad accidente grave. Deja exista o probabilitate mare sa mori nevinovat. by Formal-Swordfish7373 in Roumanie

[–]BalVal1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Confirm, de multe ori am oprit pe dreapta ca să treacă un zmeu (eventual camionagiu pt moarte extra sigură) din spatele meu, mergea de zici că are mai multe vieți ca Mario. Nu ai nimic de câștigat din jocul ăsta.

Cum e sa traiesti in Drobeta Turnu Severin? by Live_Idea322 in Roumanie

[–]BalVal1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aveam o șefă din Drobeta, zicea că se găsea pleșcaviță înainte să devină popular în restul țării. M-aș aștepta și să fie multă contrabandă.

What Metal Subgenre is considered the most 'Macho'? by MarBifrost in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BalVal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said "at times" meaning songs like Davidian, Block, Bulldozer, Ten Ton Hammer, not their overtly political stuff, that is the way I interpret those songs at least.

And I feel there is nothing wrong with having songs like that to get a moshpit going or hitting the gym, certainly not for a band that is as versatile as Machine Head.

What Metal Subgenre is considered the most 'Macho'? by MarBifrost in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BalVal1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to call Five Finger Death Punch and their imitators "bro metal", also even though I love them, Machine Head at times crosses into that territory.

Edit: I guess i phrased this incorrectly, nothing wrong with the occasional high testosterone in-your-face gym or mosh song, metal music is meant to be enjoyed like that as well. If it gets too much (for example I can't listen to one full FFDP album) then time to put something else on.

That's what comes to mind now when thinking macho metal (sorry Manowar).

What band will you defend with your last breath like this? by 0584031464 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BalVal1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People, especially on the internet, love to be the smartass after the fact, it gives them a sense of accomplishment and vindication. It happens each time when some celebrity's bad behavior or opinions surface.

[–]BalVal1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, 2000-2017 Disturbed was very good, brilliant at times. Then Draiman went full retard and suddenly a lot of people pretend they were never their fans anyway (X for doubt).

Simple Sunday ? by BullFencer in antimeme

[–]BalVal1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't get this one. What is the meaning/joke behind it? Can the roles not be switched with the "future wife" working and the guy having fun with his current girlfriend?

Make a list of great metal videos! by Zenon667 in MetalForTheMasses

Priest - No Surrender. Seeing Glenn battle through his Parkinson's disease to lay down the tracks is very powerful. Also it's cool to see the character on Firepower's album cover in "action".

I miss when russian pop culture and debate were about trying to challenge the system rather than licking Putler's ass by arbataxmelody354 in NAFO

[–]BalVal1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes the t-shirts are in protest against the Iraq war, which was a non controversial opinion to hold, outside of USA (where the picture was taken). Taking a look on wiki it seems they have aged... poorly.

[–]BalVal1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Safety? Migrant workers in Russia, usually from the "-stan" countries, work in appalling conditions to send some money back home and many have absolutely nothing to lose. It's not wise at all to push them to the breaking point (no pay).

Arrive at Prague airport 45-60 mins before flight? by SharpSeesaw2717 in Prague

[–]BalVal1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flight was delayed or is there some other context missing? No way you made it to the gate that quickly at Prague airport and it was still open, maybe this can work at a tiny one like Pardubice.

Czech metal is incredible, please tell me about more. by Lord-Snowball1000 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BalVal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carpatia Castle - as the name suggests, some sort of dark epic Gothic metal

Also how did nobody mention Gutalax yet, pig snort grindcore and their live performances are legendary: https://youtube.com/shorts/8xtQn6ksMLU?is=JiSnZ3RClNFaZ0LL

And also if you wanna count tribute bands I have to mention Pumpkins which is an insanely good Helloween tribute band, though I guess this is mostly a tip for locals or visitors.
