lonestar's roulette v.2 (And We Have a Winner!!!!)

[jingle.boy]

You guys are awesome, just waiting on King and Lowdz to send, and for Jingle to re-send.

Prolly won't get my selection nailed down until later tonight or tomorrow morning.

[kirksnosehair]

Just checked that out Barry.. awesome submission.... respect mister!

Thank you, my dear 

[jingle.boy]

Scrap what I just said.  I'm in.

[Lowdz]

Sent.
Difficult one.

[lonestar]

Awesome, as soon as I get King's, we can do this thing. I figure results Saturday night or Sunday morning.

[King Postwhore]

Sent!

[lonestar]

Ok guys, I have all the songs, thanks for the prompt responses, it's much appreciated. Fridays are hell for me, so I will get down to listening Saturday morning and will have results up by Saturday night hopefully.


In the meantime, chat thread is open for business........

Any and every thread can be a chat thread.  I'd better improve upon Round 1's performance.  These monkey balls leave a bad taste.

[kirksnosehair]

I will be unable to submit songs on the weekend.  Sorry.  So for the next round, lonestar, if you don't mind, could you please make the submission deadline, say, Monday afternoon or something?

[jingle.boy]

Sounds like at least a one (maybe two) point deduction for lack of commitment.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Working all weekend. But I'm off Monday so that'll work.



I am really stuck for the third round. There are so many songs to choose from that are 4-5 minutes long.  I spent a lot of time listening to different ones last night and I still can't decide.
Then I stumbled accross something I wish I had submitted for Round 2.

hee hee.  Rookies.  Piss poor planning!  Gotta be thinking 2 moves ahead.  Or like Nem, and go in randomly and blindly like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.

:evillaugh:

[TAC]

OK, second round song sent 

What song did you send first round?  RJ forgot to mention which it was.

Dat bad-ass guitar solo


And the closing riff....

Just checked this. Yeah, that's good stuff. I will likely order it today.

I actually think I'm set for the rest of the rounds. It's just the next one I'm having a problem with. Today, I will try and get some back ups ready just in case one gets rejected.

Backup plans are definitely required.  The tricky part is when to play your cards/bands.  There are bound to be a few that more than one of us are thinking of, and do ya hang on for a 6 or 7 minute round, and then someone beats you to the punch (as Lowdz did with Harem Scarem for me, and Barry did with HoC on a couple of us).  Decisions, decisions.

Also, as mentioned, The Voyage of Jonas is still streaming over at www.progstreaming.com if you want to give it a run through.  But, it is worthy of a purchase - as are their prior releases.

[TAC]

I really don't think I'll be ninja'd. I'd be shocked, frankly.

Given Lonestar's review of the first Harem Scarem song, Lowdz may have actually done you a favor.

[lonestar]

OK guys, for those of you asking about the next round's submission time, it won't be till next week. My weekends are fucked at best.

Another contestant asked for a list of band submissions rejected so far, here ya go...

Symphony X
Riot
Ric Emmet

That's all, continue the socializing...

Nah, there's plenty of gold in their discography.

PM me 2 or 3 of their best tracks! Ot post them here if HS cannot be submitted again.  I am off today, so I can check them out.

[MoraWintersoul]

9 out of 10 times, if the song isn't addressing partying, drinking, or f*cking, I have a hard time staying focused on it.

So I suppose Dream Theater makes up exactly 1/10 of your music collection?

My guess is that Coz is is either partying, drinking, or f*cking while listening to DT!

I need to live life like some people never will, so find me parties, find me women, find me booze?

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

DT makes up a very small portion of my collection.

Hey there.

[Lowdz]

Mine was a definite gamble this round. Lyrics have never  been that important to me. Alot of the stuff I listen to is written in the artist's second language so to expect poetry is unfair. Awful lyrics would put me off but they aren't a dealbreaker.
Had to shelve me first choice cos I realised theere was a time limit. I guess great lyrics need more than 4.00!
And Lonestar already knows Steel Panther or Community Property would have won

[lonestar]

Maybe not Community Property, but Turn Out The Lights would have 


Lyrics have always been a vital part of it for me. I can enjoy a song with average or standard lyrics, but when the lyrics and music mesh to tell a story or portray an emotion, that is the gold for me.



I will try to post results in the morning, no guarantees though, weekends are always tricky to maneuver.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. That's why I loved Rush and early Marillion.

 Hair Metal does lack it's poets though

[obscure]

wooohoooo.. the thread is on fire... bugger! I can't participate now.... 

[lonestar]

OK folks, just ran through my first round of listenings, and fucking winners across the board musically. Killer batch of songs. One little hiccup though, the last song was the only one I didn't previously check, and it was a no-go band, so I'm waiting for another submission.


Add Echolyn to the no-go list folks.

[TAC]

I am so screwed on the next round. I've been wearing out my iPod trying to decide. I think I finally settled on one late last night.

[lonestar]

Ok, King sent me another song while I was at work. Gonna burn through them all tomorrow morning and post results.

[jingle.boy]

I knew King was the problem!  And Echolyn is a band I've been meaning to check out.

[Lowdz]

Just realised there's another lyric round coming.   

Scrap what I had prepared.
