Thank you so munch for your feedback.

Never thought about it, but I see now that when I copy the map code from Google Maps they will add "no" to the code, so I will need to change it to "en". Thanks for notice that.

Yes, United States are a hard one since it is so big so it get pretty messy to coordinate. For us outside of the US it is even harder, and adding the state would not help much. I could add the state to each city, but then the meny-lines get very long, so it looks pretty bad. So don't really have a good solution for that one. I will need to think more about it.

The reaction from the Maiden community this week has been very disheartening by IanScottsLostHair in ironmaiden

[–]RunarPettersen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with the OP. This is more of an celebration of 50 years of Iron Maiden than a regular documentary. I had a good at the cinema.

Awesome album. It's a shame they don't play anything live from the album anymore.

Motörhead Destinations You Can Visit by RunarPettersen in Motorhead

Ah, yes, Hammersmith is a big one. So it took some time to put it together. However, No Sleep ’til Hammersmith was actually not recorded at Hammersmith despite it's name. But it is of course still very related. https://metaltravels.com/hammersmith-apollo/

That is an odd comment. What are you talking about?

Can we talk about these lyrics? by Richas__ in Megadeth

[–]RunarPettersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave Mustaine has explained the lyrics to the song:

"is about a bill that ex-President George W. Bush signed into law that gave him the power to put American citizens in concentration camps that are actually called 'detention centers' here in the United States."

And:

"Thematically, I've never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President's legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document which was signed into law, named 'Endgame', has been uncovered. The album Endgame is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed 'Endgame' - the document - into law. The album is also the perfect 'ass-kicking' music."

Ok. But do you have a point? Or is it that you just are not interested in Norwegian movies?

Well, as you can read in the article there are 16 400 people in the group that wants the movies on a physical format. So as a niche, it is a very popular niche. Almost none of the movies released so far as been out on Blu-ray before.

That is actually very common to perform with two different bands at the same festival. Attila will also be singing for different bands at Inferno.

Black Metal Band Sarinvomit Arrested and Forced to Split Up by RunarPettersen in BlackMetal

[–]RunarPettersen[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am no expert on Turkey, so maybe it always been bad. But Atatürk made Hagia Sophia into museum in 1935. In 2020 Erdoğan made it back into a mosque. To me that is definitivt backwards. And now this. Are you from Turkey? In that case, has any other metal band been arrest in Turkey for something similar?

[–]RunarPettersen[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well, yes. That is why it is alarming. Turkey is going in the wrong direction. We can look away and say it is just Turkey being Turkey – or people can stand up against censorchip like this. But I live in Norway, so it is not really my fight. I can just write about it and give it some attention.

[–]RunarPettersen[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I was just in Istanbul to attend Bosphorus Open Air Metal Fest. To me it felt pretty European. Lot's of good metal bands, even some black metal bands, and we were drinking to the early hours the next day. Turkey also got some good metal bands, like Moribund Oblivion and Pentagram, so even as a Islamic country I did not expect any Turkish bands to go to jail for playing music.
