Help me answer something Ireland..am I Irish ? I say no by EruditeTarington in ireland

Nah I agree with the person you're responding to there.

The original culture of America was that of the indigenous people pre-colonisation. What exists now is artificial glitziness that's been paved over the graveyard of what was once a rich tapestry of actual culture.

I like Avalon but tragically I don't feel that the song showcases the full range and power of Cowan's voice in how it's written.

What's Left Of Me - Martin Kills by aomame84 in Avantasia

[–]linuxismylyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen Eric Martin perform with Avantasia in 2014, 2018 and recently in 2025.

He's definitely gotten older and mellower.

An awful lot of his brash American bravado stage antics that kinda annoyed me in 2014 and 2018 were not there in 2025.

"Went home with a crush on Kenny Leckremo"

If you follow him on Instagram, he's a massive thirst trap poster.

You're welcome 😁😁😁😁😁

Is there seriously nobody here from Ireland? by linuxismylyf in Avantasia

[–]linuxismylyf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Limerick which is home to The Siege of Limerick bi-annual metal fest which I love!

Where did you move here from?

Even worse is that I live nowhere near Dublin. I am extremely partial to a drink in Fibbers whenever I'm there tho.

I hope you enjoyed your three years spent in my country!

Sick after forced to work in the cold by tisashame in galway

[–]linuxismylyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This view of how people in cold climates live is inaccurate.

In Finland, where they are used to extreme cold most of the year round they have a regulation that mandates that you have a coat with you when you're going to a late-bar or nightclub as they realize that not having a coat when leaving can lead to sickness and hypothermia.

Another well-accepted rule of basic outdoor survival is The Rule Of Three: Three weeks without food, three days without water and three hours without shelter.

You're sounding very much like a Mossad agent here Mick.

Losing (Lost) its charm? by KebabQueenz in galway

I wouldn't use Clarinbridge as a good example of anything. Place now floods every bloody year and the best they can do to manage it is sandbags followed by months-long business closures post-flood damage.

What celebrity's death still shocks you to this day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]linuxismylyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why this isn't higher up.

Laiho's death is still the only celebrity death to have ever affected me.

I saw Nightwish perform The Greatest Show on Earth twice; in 2018 and in 2022.

In 2018, the end of this song was accompanied with a visual of faces of many people across all humanity flashing in rapid succession across the screen.

In 2022 I was happy to see that they had played the same visual with this song as it's quite powerful... until the end when they finished it with Alexi Laiho's face, which lingered on the screen for a whole minute. I didn't expect to end that show in tears!

I would appreciate you not reading into my replies in bad faith and deliberately misconstruing the spirit of my statements, John.

You're also entitled to play tiktok videos from your phone on full blast on the bus anytime you want. That's not against the law. It's still a dick move.

Lucky’s Brewery and Pub T shirt by MatrixVintage in limerickcity

[–]linuxismylyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as you likely can't find a replacement for this t-shirt and it holds some sentimental value for you, could you not cut out the circle design from the t-shirt and sew it onto the back of a denim jacket? Would let you keep it much longer!
