The jingle Roulette Trilogy - Final Results - no more mind games

[TAC]

Elite:  Theocracy - I Am

I would've assumed Theocracy would've been banned. Oh well. I'm not actually a fan of this song.

TAC:  Lords Of The Trident - Shattered Skies

Cheesey lyrics for sure, and the band pics are laughable. But this is a really good 2015 metal album that is extremely easy on the ears.

jjrock88:  Accept - Losing More Than You've Ever Had

Jason, this might literally be the worst song of the Udo era!

[jingle.boy]

That was close!

I'll send something tonight after I get home and can run through my music library properly. This gonna be hard

And it was more of a case of some really, REALLY good submissions, because your tune was excellent.  I don't think there was eve any question of it making it through.  Some song has to be at the bottom though.

jjrock88:  Accept - Losing More Than You've Ever Had

Jason, this might literally be the worst song of the Udo era!

Well, if that's the worst song of that era, then I've got a lot to look forward to!

[lonestar]

Aaaand sent!!!

Jason, this might literally be the worst song of the Udo era!

Well, if that's the worst song of that era, then I've got a lot to look forward to!

Classic Accept is literally one of my favorite bands. They also put on one of the best performances by an opening band ever (1985's Powerslave tour). When you are ready, I'm here for you.

I sent some dub step

[jingle.boy]

I sent some dub step

That would definitely wow the shit out of me.     as in

Wow... just wow.

[Elite]

I guess I'm in the minority here who likes Voyager quite a bit. Though I definitely understand the criticism- those vocals are definitely hit or miss.

Hey, I like them too! Though I must admit that they're so much better live compared to their studio recordings.

[senecadawg2]

I've not seen them live before (will soon, though) but I sure hope you're right.

Maybe it's because I'm a vegetarian and haven't had steak with my cupcakes before.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Elite sent me Lost by Voyager and I've listened to it a few times since then. It's a good song.

[Sacul]

Oh I thought no one was eliminated

At least I can follow this one till the end.

[Evermind]

I sent some dub step

That would definitely wow the shit out of me.     as in

Wow... just wow.

I'll save dubstep for them non-elimination rounds.

After hating Udo's voice forever I have started to appreciate it recently. Some great stuff in their discography.

And glad I got through. Was worried that Anubis Gate were a band you'd tried and dismissed.

[bl5150]

Unfortunately Udo sounds like a drunken gay german bloke snarling at the world into his pint.

Glad to see that you've finally come to terms with your liking for drunk, snarling gay German army blokes

That closet was getting too small 

[Nekov]

Sent already

[Evermind]

I'll send something either tomorrow or Friday. Got a few songs lined up, need to choose which one to send.

[Prog Snob]

I'm glad you liked the song, Chad! They're one of my favorite bands and they really do have a unique sound.  I'll send you my next submission no later than tomorrow. 

[wolfking]

I'll send tonight.

[Elite]

This is me as well.

[Dr. DTVT]

I'm going all or nothing this round.  While I have things that are more to Chad's tastes, I don't want to send mediocre power metal or prog *cough* Soul Secret *cough*  from a band I am luke warm on when I can send a band I'm more into that has a chance to move the needle.  I'm prepared for first place or last place equally, but I'll settle for good enough.

[Lowdz]

Ahh the stress. This is why I don't volunteer for many roulettes. What to send? I think I overthink this stuff.
Getting ready to send.

I'm totally cool with this approach, but the fact that you feel Soul Secret is mediocre (and where I'm "meh" on Jolly) demonstrates why were incompatible sometimes. Tastes: One of us is doing it wrong.  It might be me!   

Someone posed the question recently, "what's worse than getting a low score on a song you love?  Getting a low score on a song you don't love"

Bring it on big boy.

[senecadawg2]

I don't know, there's something comforting about seeing the host dislike a song that you're similarly unimpressed with. Whereas if someone shits on your all time favorite band/artist you feel like they've shat on your personality. Or maybe that's just me, getting too attached.

[TAC]

Hey but I liked the Anathema song!

[senecadawg2]

Yeah and that was a big relief.

Plus, with you rating the songs, I knew I'd be in for something gentle and kind even if you didn't like it.

[jingle.boy]

I knew I'd be in for something gentle and kind even if you didn't like it.

That's what she said.

I guess my thought is if I was to send a song you don't like (but think the host will), and they crap all over it, I'd be kicking myself for trying too hard.  Whereas if I send a song I love, and they crap on it, well... they're just plain wrong anyway. 

Curveball coming later tonight.  Nothing too shifty.  Those that have submitted can keep what they submitted, or chose something else.  You'll understand later.

[Dr. DTVT]

Straightball I hit it very much.  Curveball, bats are afraid.  I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats.

[wolfking]

I would love to be banned.

Oooohhh, This sounds interesting, I'll wait to send.

[jingle.boy]

It's nothing too intense really... just a heads up as some of you might be anticipating (hoping) to make it to the main competition - though 6 of you are going to be eliminated... that's a pretty high ratio - 40% of you are about to go buh-bye.

However... for the confident ones, the main competition will not have any firm rules or themes.  The only requirement will be that everyone must send at least one ballad.  I love me my ballads - be it a power ballad like I Remember You by Skid Row, or a simple acoustic or piano only track like Hardline's In This Moment.  Do whatever you want, whenever you want it.  Just don’t send me songs until a round starts.  No squatting on your territory (band) early like we did in TAC’s.

So, if you have such a song in mind, don't use that band just yet.  Since most are bitching/whining/moaning about how tough it is to find me a song (I tease), I thought I'd give the heads up now so that if by any chance you are using a band this round that has an awesome ballad, you may want to take that into consideration.  I offer this because of a time (with Nick) where I submitted a Triumph song in Round 1, and then a couple rounds later, his theme was "song by a 3 member band".  Boy, sure woulda been nice to have Triumph for that round!  So, I don't want anyone to think "wish I woulda had that I already used band for the ballad".

There will be a couple more guidelines when the main competition starts.

[wolfking]

With the second qualifying round, do the ones that had a good pick in the first get a bit of leeway if their song isn't up to scratch this time, or are you treating this one totally separate?

[jingle.boy]

Probably a bit of leeway.  For instance, if Elite sends a mediocre song, he'll be aided by the fact he killed it in Round 1.  If he totally shits the bed though, I got no problem putting a bullet in him.

If it comes to a close decision for the final in-or-out spot #10, then I'll definitely be taking into consideration both rounds.

[Bolsters]

I'd been planning on sending you a fantastic ballad in the main competition anyway if I made it through, so this curveball means nothing to me.

Though with 6 people getting the axe, my submission probably isn't going to get me through anyway.

Good job I didn't send last night as I was going the ballad route (showing my versatility  )
