The Official Hard Rock / Classic Metal Music Discussion and Memorabilia Thread!

Brent is the hard rock wizard. His roulette will be tough to compete in

[wolfking]

And Kade.........I have all my submissions ready for your roulette , unless you throw some curveballs I am not expecting  

Good lord, I only announced it 2 day or so ago and it's not running for another 6 months.    Guess I can't back out now.

How the fuck am I gonna be in two roulettes at once?  I'm going crazy enough with Chad.  And yes Brent, there is probably gonna be stuff that can be sent, but it's gonna be a mission.

I agree it's not ideal with Chad and I at the same time . I am in two at the moment myself and it's quite possible that with Evermind's up next I will be running one and participating in two or three at the same time , so you have it easy 

We should be getting paid for this shit.

You couldn't get a better group of hard rock and metal consultants than we have here - if only it was a viable business

Fuck you're right, you could be onto something here.  We all have our expertise in different sub genres too

[jingle.boy]

For as deep as your collection is, there are some gaping holes.  We'll fill them up.  Got one more 'check' list to send over to you.

[wolfking]

I assume you have a list of bands or something Brent that we can use as a guideline.  I know there are some holes, but unlike you two, I don't take notes when the discussions come up.

Like I said Kade..............come up with a list of some obvious and not so obvious bands , send it to me via PM or email and I will do the work for you telling you what albums I have and don't have by the bands in question.  I reckon there's enough hints in that list a few posts back to get you through a couple of rounds if you're really struggling too.

I really can't see a "banned list" being much use - I've thought about it a lot . I can list the 2500 bands I have in my collection but even then I don't want to ban BANDS where I only have an album or two.

If anyone who is not a regular here joins up then I likely won't know anything they submit anyway (I have no idea who 90% of the bands are in most roulettes) and for you guys I think it's best to get some pre-approvals like Chad is doing and TAC has done.

One other thing I can do for you Kade (if you like) is review your Top 50 and tell you what I do and don't have.

You will also see later when I post the intro that I have a bonus system where you can attempt to convert me on all the "DTF faves" I have never got into - amongst those bands are Rush , Opeth etc...so there's more ideas there if you feel like a risk.

[Evermind]

I'm not starting my v2 soon. Not until the next year for sure. Maybe February or March.

I'm totally in for Brent's though.

The waiting list is going to be a bit of a clusterfuck with so many people waiting at the top, subbing in at any time. And at this rate I might end up getting my v2 going before the end of the year.

Like I said Kade..............come up with a list of some obvious and not so obvious bands , send it to me via PM or email and I will do the work for you telling you what albums I have and don't have by the bands in question.

If you aren't doing a banned list, does that mean this applies to everyone, Brent? If so I might draw up a list too.

Yes mate -  I figure it's a much better idea than a banned artist list that crashes the internet where I may also be interested in some missing albums from some of them.  It'll also help save on a lot of back and forward/re-submissions for participants.

I will mention that in my OP too - if I do it for some I should be willing to do it for everyone and I'm happy to do so.

Having said that I am dropping a few extra hints around here as the regulars here will have a lot more crossover with my collection and perhaps need a bit more help.   If any of the young ones decide to have a go I doubt there'll be any worries about me knowing anything

Yeah, I kind of think I fall into the middle somewhere. I listen to plenty of rock/metal but not really enough to be aware of the obscure stuff so it's not easy finding things you might not know. On the other hand, there's a shit-ton of bands in my library outside of those genres but I don't think any of it is stuff that would appeal to you in the slightest and I don't feel like torturing you.

I know, but I didn't expect so many people to bail out when I was signing in for v2. The list was pretty long back then.

[wolfking]

That sounds all good Brent, I'm sure we'll all make it work.

[bl5150]

Old age is a bitch.........I have had a song in my head for 4 days now , I can remember all the melodies/riffs of the opening minute or so but no words (there goes Google) and for the life of me I cannot think who it is.  I am loving the song though   

[wolfking]

Sounds interesting.  Any ideas? visuals? etc?

[bl5150]

Nah Kade........nothing except this riff/melody and it's starting to piss me off.  I am hoping that it's buried in Chad's roulette playlist in iTunes .......if so I might come across it some time before 2020 as it's a fucking big playlist - he was on the waiting list 12 months or something 

[wolfking]

haha, let us know if you figure it out.  I hate shit like that.  Especially when you wanna listen to the song.

[Lowdz]

Nothing worse than the elusive ear worm. I feel your pain mate.

How did you know it was a Winger song?

[wolfking]

If it was a Winger song, he'd know that shit inside out.

Bitch's intuition!

[Big Hath]

so I took the advice of a few here and blind bought the Saxon Carrere Years set.  This will be the first Saxon notes I have ever heard (that I know of).  What do I start with?

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Just start at the beginning!

I had one of these a month or two ago, and I'd completely forgotten about it by now fortunately. But I was sitting here just now going through some stuff for your roulette, and I fucking found it.

[bl5150]

 



I just stumbled onto an old demo with this band photo.  Who's the singer?  (2nd from right).  Not too hard actually    And that's some of the "best" glam gear ever.

[Kwyjibo]

[img ]here was a picture of an older and fatter Seb Bach but somehow this link didn't work[/img ]

[bl5150]

Is there any interest in the Hollywood Vampires project with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry (and Johhny Depp .....why?    )       It's mostly covers so not sure if I can be bothered .   

[Kwyjibo]

yeah and it's covers we have heard a million times by a million artists. Not something that sounds interesting to me.

[Kwyjibo]

Just read at mr.com about the "Carsten Lizard Schulz Syndicate" and realised that german names don't go well with metal. Never heard of this guy, but the name of this band sounds awkward 

And approximately 40 million people in germany are named Schulz.

Pretty decent singer and I was just listening to something with him on recently.  I wouldn't have thought that many people have heard of him though and so not sure why the name.

Maybe he should get together with Jake E Lee and form the Carsten Lizard Schulz Red Dragon Syndicate.

I'd skip the first album but everything from there is gold. They get better as they go up to Power & Glory, then drop a bit as they went a bit "American".
