Hope it may be interesting for you to have a glimpse of our life.

I saw a massive rock and roll show back in the early 80's at Gorky Park. At the time I was a huge "Bon Jovi" fan and they headlined the event. I thought it was cool when he came out on stage and greeted the fans in Russian. Music always brings everyone together! Russia has a huge following of American's rock music.

They need to shut down the regular skating and make some nice rinks for us hockey fans. Hell, I see even Putin likes to play.

There are plenty of them. They exist even in every district center of Russian Regions.
For a example. This one is in Lukoyanov, where I spent previous summer. Population: 14,000. Area:1890 sq.m.

Holy balls. I would kill to see that.

The crüe and Sebastian Bach at a peace festival is fucking hilarious. I remember Sebastian breaking a gin bottle over someone's head.

Same here, that was a dream line-up to see back in the day, all of them.


Actually that whole line up being called a peace festival is fucking hilarious.

I spoke to my brother and he said to also look at "US Festival" from 1982. I can't find a reference as to whether it hit Russia or not. Looks to me like it was all played in one location. But look at the line-up over a few days time

I'm just :poke: at him. If he actually spelled it in Russian, NO ONE would be able to read it. :laugh:

Yeah, his version was a typo, my version was from Google. Only Russian I know is "Balu". :laugh:

[Balu]

Москва!
True!
But he is TOO smart to see the difference between spelling mistake and misprint, as well as that letters "x" and "c" are located near оn a keyboard and it is not permitted to edit the titles of a thread. :rolleyes:
Besides, I would like to see him writing in Russian. :laugh:

You should see when I type on my cell phone. All letters are next to one another and liable to be used. I can barely find the backspace key, so there's only one shot for my fat fingers to get it right, so you see it as is!

I never care spelling and Grammar in forums, as anybody can make a mistake, not only let a misprint. But it looks very ridiculous to point at such things to a foreigner among you, English speaking. :rolleyes:

Nah. I got the misprint. But if I can make fun of me for doing it, you're just next. I speak 3 languages. Russian isn't one of them. Now if you want to talk to my dad who spied on y'all for 25 years, I can hook you up. ;)
