Here is your rep from US! Even though you are trying to make fun of Americans - poorly, mind you
We are very generous people!

FWIW
Your “ Nightwish” sound is somewhat (too) ethnic - borrowed from Celtic ballads with a bit of unimpressive metal mixed in.
Pleasant, good job, good visuals; tamed for US audience though..
Nothing at Wembley’s Arena would impress us anyway.

Wembley Stadium- maybe..

The Hanoi Rocks (60th birthday celebration you posted) has made me laugh out loud: have you seen the movie “This is Spinal Tap”?
Reminded me of the main movie characters - including Michael’s bulging crotch

Worth watching for lulz
Hope, the movie and the parody translates well into your culture

We are spoiled here in US and some guys playing even in small clubs - are more impressive - though neither here nor over there nobody has ever heard of them…

So, chill, Väinämöinen!
Enjoy your rep for sharing your music with us!

I don't know about easthome, but according to legend, Jesus Christ was born on the night between 24 and 25 December in the year 0. Christians all over the world therefore traditionally celebrate the birth of the Messiah and Son of God on this date as Christmas.

This year ends great with Greta Thunderberg destroying Andrew Tate lol yet I still suspect Romania's police doesn't act on its own and someone from brusells/america sends the order. The west has a beef with Tate over his alleged on kids and continues to treat romania and eastern europe as a colony.

I agree with your assessment. Andrew Tate has definitely operated in the gray area for a long time and in plain sight. The why now question leads me to believe someone pulled the levers behind the scenes.

Unfortunately I'm not a scholar so I couldn't tell you, have a look at this though:-

Seems nobody is too sure but September is a good bet, due to shepherds tending sheep and what they 'think' the guiding star was it was unlikely to be in the Winter (apparently) but that's only what I've read.

We celebrate Christmas on 25th December because there was already Pagan festivals at that time celebrating the return of lengthening days. The bible doesn't specify when Jesus was born but it is most often thought by Scholars that study this that it was sometime in September.

Yeah. Everything possible. It's a legend not a fact, and interpretation might vary.
The earliest Christians did not celebrate His birth.

It just sounds like euro metal that has been around since the 80s.

How many Scorpions-like bands do we need?
Nightwish sounds nothing like Scorpions at all. It's symphonic metal at its finest.

Do you realize how difficult it is for European bands to break in Britain not to speak of US? Nightwish did that and they are playing sold out hockey arenas all over Europe and Britain. Many, many famous American bands have never been booked to play the Wembley Arena which is a legendary venue and a definitive sign of major succsess.

In Finland the police do not shoot unarmed people, but I know that this is common practice in America.
