@trincowski. Thank you for such encouraging words. I’m not gonna lie man, when I get into an article like this where it’s not so much a story of an event per say but my opinion instead, I get nervous clicking that post button. Thank you for your support, it means a lot!
You’ll have to excuse my connection, I clicked on both videos and I don’t have clear enough internet to view them—Danget! I’ll come back though until I can see them both and add to this response.
What could some consequences been had you been caught listening to that band in Russia? How did that happen, were you listening to them and then someone told you that you can’t—how did that work?
Well, Portugal isn’t on the list, correct. But I think it’s safe to say I covered it when I said they taught me to fear “every other piece of land on the globe.” 😉 But specifically Portugal, I think you’re right, they couldn’t find it on the map.
Fun fact, trincowski, the English speaking people who read this article and can only speak English, what I said went right in one eye and out the other.... ‘he’s talking about everyone else.’
Thanks for stopping by, @trincowski. Thanks for the Resteem, sir, I’m really grateful!
You're welcome.
I didn't even know. I only found out after I returned that they were banned in Russia and I never knew why.
Meanwhile, it seems the situation was reversed as Within Temptation have been touring in Russia for the last few months:
Oh well, I guess I'll never know what was that about. I can't even find anything about it on Google, very weird.
Yes! I was able to watch the clips this time, thanks for showing me those, @trincowski. That Abnormality video is wild! Like you said, they’re still performing because the US probably can’t underatand their lyrics—I sure couldn’t! Wild video.
I still can’t figure out what’s so unpeaceful about Within Temptation. 🤔
I don't know. Maybe they were victim of some retaliation against the EU sanctions, seeing that they are a Dutch band and the Dutch Government botched up the investigation of the fallen plane over Ukraine, which added fuel to this whole mess...
