Glad you loved it! And that does make sense, because I picture something like that to.

Does it have to be a guitar solo?

That's the intent, but it can be any kind.

sent. Didn't have to think hard about it, even though it's probably not would jump into most people's minds when you think guitar solo...but its a great one.

Bitch slapped!

I'll work on a new song.

Edit: Sent!

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #76 on:** September 22, 2011, 07:40:44 PM »

I know what I want to send, but I forgot to send it before going to the office so I'll send it like 8 hours from now.

Results might take a little longer than usual for here on out. I am recently reemployed so I don't have nearly as much free time now.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #79 on:** September 24, 2011, 09:44:36 AM »

Gotta think of a resend. I wish I was still obsessed with awesome guitar as I used to be. I might have to go for a non-guitar solo.

How many rounds are you planning on doing?

Mine was only 5.

Eight.

When can expect to have the results ?

Genowyn · « **Reply #83 on:** September 25, 2011, 09:38:16 PM »

I'm off tomorrow so I should have them for you then.

Haha oh past self you silly.

So basically in hindsight I realize this was a stupid idea for a round because I don't actually like solos as much as I thought I did, I guess.

8 Points

Kingshmegland: Spock's Beard - She is Everything

So this is post Neal Morse Spock's Beard? That's cool because (incoming controversial opinion) I really didn't want to listen to a song about Jesus anyway

. Oh I do enjoy making fun of beloved musicians. Anyway. So this song is definitely awesome. The solo is awesome. Best kind of solo. Lyrics are sorta okay but at least they're not about Jesus (I'll stop)

7 Points

DTVT: Marillion - Sugar Mice

I've sorta heard this song before...on the SC tour DT did a medley with this and...Surrounded? So that's all I really know about it. Either way it was a very nice song. The solo was beautiful, definitely a good one for the emotional solo route.

6 Points

LLTWM: Genesis - Firth of Fifth

So I've never actually heard Genesis before, so we'll see how this goes. Overall this song is pretty good. Solos were good. I'm finding I don't have much to actually say about the songs themselves this round? My bad...

5 Points

PC: Marillion - Easter

I didn't quite like this one as much as the other Marillion track. It was a good song, the instrumental work was good, I enjoyed the solos. I've not much else to say.

4 Points

Nekov: Explorer's Club - Fate Speaks

Maybe I should have sent a length rule

. Oh well. So there are a lot of solos in this song. They are quite good, too. I'm not crazy about the rest of the song though. I think if they just took out the non solo bits and made this song an 8 minute solo it would be pretty cool.

3 Points

Cup: Riot - Sign of the Crimson Storm

So this was sorta some standard 80s metal I guess. The solo was great but the song as a whole didn't do very much for me.

2 Points

UMH: Annihilator - The Fun Palace

So uh, I wasn't really thrilled about the solo here because it was really just the same pattern getting higher and higher, or at least that's what it sounded like. The song itself was pretty good.

1 Point

Nic35: Meshuggah: Straws Pulled at Random

I was sorta surprised noone sent me Meshuggah during the heavy round. Now, I really enjoyed this song. Seriously. Buuut the solo really wasn't spectacular. I think it worked great for the song but not what I was looking for this round. It's only as a technicality that you get the lowest score this round

37 - LieLowTheWantedMan
34 - DTVT
34 - kingshmegland
33 - Perpetual Change
23 - Nic35
22 - Ultimetalhead
18 - Nekov
14 - Cup

So for the last two rounds we're gonna go TOTALLY CRAZY and everything is now worth DOUBLE POINTS. So it's still totally ANYONE'S GAME (but probably not).

Just for a fun tidbit, my favorite solos are probably Comfortably Numb and the one from this song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9oZk-v6TrQ

Also from now on please try to keep em under 10 mins

Theme for the next round is: Songs with unusual instruments. Basically anything that's not Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keys/Piano/Organ/Harpsichord etc. Sitars, mandolins, shamisen, whatever. Probably a safe bet not to send me ska or jazz though? I want rock/metal songs with these kinds of instruments in them.

mizzl · « **Reply #86 on:** September 27, 2011, 11:55:05 AM »

I would submit Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely but I can't

Genowyn · « **Reply #87 on:** September 27, 2011, 11:57:28 AM »

In case it wasn't clear: I mean I want unusual instruments in combination with standard instruments.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #88 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:15:33 PM »

Man, I have the perfect song but it's not a rock band, it's more indie rock, not that heavy. I'll have to work on this one.

That should be fine, probably. I'm just saying I don't want you to send me just some guy playing a sitar for 5 minutes, I want something with more unusual instruments incorporated into it.

Xanthul · « **Reply #90 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:23:21 PM »

Send him a 2 hour bagpipe concert imo

King Postwhore · « **Reply #91 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:39:27 PM »

I'll send that song tonight!

Nekov · « **Reply #92 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:41:09 PM »

I thought JP would do the trick $:-\$ . Will be sending the song for next round soon.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #93 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:42:48 PM »

Groan.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #94 on:** September 27, 2011, 01:33:35 PM »

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum woulda been perfect for this one. They make their own instruments.

Good thing we killed that one in an earlier round.

I know what I'm sending, just need to wait til I get home to send it.

Sure, just looking for stuff you don't normally hear in rock/metal.

Genowyn. Is the next round the last? I'm taking off from 10 to the 13 for business meetings and if it's longer maybe you can let me send my entries in early.

Genowyn · « **Reply #104 on:** October 02, 2011, 10:52:54 AM »

Round eight will be the last round, and results for this round should be up tomorrow (or later tonight?!) so you should have time.
