The Coolest Roulette around! Cool Chris' Roulette - RESULTS

[King Postwhore]

That's a high score for All Night Long, and Chris, how have you never heard that song before? That does not compute.

I thought the same thing!  You couldn't miss that song on MTV.  It played every other hour!

[jingle.boy]

And J Boy, you better sig those standings while you can...

[Cool Chris]

I had not heard that song before. My knowledge of Rainbow is minimal, as it is with UFO (I only know Doctor Doctor and only know that because of Maiden's cover).

[King Postwhore]

Man that's cool that you can get turned onto older bands you just never checked out.  Ok. Going to send a song soon.

[Cool Chris]

Some bands just flew right under my radar. Of course this was pre-internet days, and I had very few friends who listened to the same type of music as me, so unless I heard it on the radio or stumbled across it somehow, it would have been easy for me to miss.

Tomislav95: Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven (from Alive in Athens)

Didn't care for the vocals, but the music was awesome.

Oh wow.  This is one of my all time fave live performances from anyone ever!

Pretty sure they cover these bands on the first day of Classic Hard Rock 101.

I hear ya.  There are lots of bands that were just off my radar as well - Rainbow and UFO being a couple of them.  And as Kade found out in my last roulette, W.A.S.P.

It helps if your radar is turned on.

This this ironic.

To be fair, I was only .....

























Seventeen!

[King Postwhore]

I'll show you songs, like you've never seen.....

Well, you've got to admit!!

I thought the same thing!  You couldn't miss that song on MTV.  It played every other hour!

Bear in mind, gents, that I submitted a (somewhat) rare live version with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals.  It was a b-side to the "Can't Let You Go" single (I think) off of Bent Out Of Shape.  Even if he had heard the song, I would bet a steak dinner he didn't hear that version.

[TAC]

So you're saying you'd stake a dinner on it?

I have that at my parents house!

You mean upstairs?

[Tomislav95]

Sent. I'm really excited to see what score I'll get for this, it could really be anything from 1 to 10

[Crow]

yes, that is in fact how Chris' scoring works 
i feel like i should get a pretty decent score for what i sent this round but i'll probably end up with my worst score yet

[King Postwhore]

Tim, nobody lives upstairs anymore in the house.  Sucka!

[Cool Chris]

yes, that is in fact how Chris' scoring works 

 

[Crow]

i mean, unless i'm wrong and you're gonna give out a 0 one of these rounds

[Cool Chris]

I try and be honest in my scores. They are graded on a bit of a curve. I already have a potential 9 and 10 this round, so the bar is set high by those entries. A song would have to be really bad to get a zero. But then I haven't scored home's entry, which had vocals from a chicken.

[twosuitsluke]

Sent.

Sorry if I'm a little late. I didn't put anywhere near enough thought into this entry. Quietly confident though

[Sacul]

Sent.

[Cool Chris]

Sorry Sacul, Twosuitsluke beat you to the punch on your entry. And a solid one it was.

So please submit a new song, and I need Elite's song and I will be ready to post the results.

[Crow]

Saculite strikes again

also nice one luke 

[Sacul]

Well, had to delve into one of the few fogey roulettes I participated on before to send some stuff that got me a good score. Re-sent.

[twosuitsluke]

Saculite strikes again

also nice one luke 

 

I felt like I copped out a little on this one. I stand by the song and I love it but I knew it was likely an easy score. Gonna think of something a little more 'out there' for my next entry.

[Cool Chris]

I only know that band as an old co-worker was having a midlife crisis and wouldn't ever shut up about Myles. She even named her self-pleasure toy My Little Electric Savoir.

[Crow]

ahh, after burger

luke are you excited for EP round results
i know i am excited to share them like jesus christ i am tired of hosting my roulette but i'm D O N E now

In a total state of -phoria

Jingle.boy: Lords of Black - Ghost of You   
10      
Not a perfect 10, but a 10 nonetheless. Joining Innerwish and Ghost as my top 'Gotta check out more of these guys' from this roulette so far.

kingshmegland: Forgotten Suns - In Harms Way    
9      
Afraid this would be general forgettable prog-metal but was impressed with the musicianship and songwriting.

TAC: Glass Mind - Your Name In Silence   
9      
Great song, expected whiny vocals based on TAC's comments but I thought they were great and suited the song well. Heard some subtle DT influences.

Twosuitsluke: Alter Bridge - Blackbird   
8      
Hit the ground an average 5. Then the chorus hit, ok, maybe a 6. Guitar solo starts, damn, at least a 7. Then the outro made it an 8.

Parama: Baroness - The Line Between   
7      
Solid, fun rocker. I like how this song doesn't sound like it is from any particular era. It could fit in and been popular in the 90s, 00s, or today.

Sacul: Throne of Chaos - The Window   
7      
Good song. Was afraid it was going to get too proggy around 2:40, but it turned out to be a nice musical break that added complexity to the song.

Stadler: Night Ranger - Penny   
6      
"Penny I got your number, You know you gave it to me." I've had this happen to me…. Drunk chick gives you her number at the club and when you call her she doesn't have any clue who you are. Awkwardness ensues. Have you ever realized you never hear the word "Ensuing" without it being directly followed by the word "Kickoff?"

Elite: Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart   
6   
I know STP and that one hit song they had, or did they have more? No idea, but this one didn’t sound familiar at all. This is what I would think of as typical mid-90s alt rock. Which I never really got in to. Cool instrumental break, sounded jarringly out of place upon first listen, but when I listened to it again I thought it was really well done.

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Editors - Munich   
5      
Kinda cool, but nothing memorable.

Tomislav95: Paramore - Hard Times    
2      
Sounds like a lower-tier dance-y song from the 80s. Maybe intentionally? I wouldn't have liked it then, and don't like it now.

home: Igorrr - Vegetable Soup   
1      
Music was ok, then a rooster or a chicken came on. Who incidentally gave the best vocal performance on this song.

Jingle and TAC get some separation after Round 3, but there is a log jam not too far behind them.

Round 4: Instrumentals. People on here, at least with DT, tend to go ga-ga over instrumentals. I never did. I feel like vocals give a song focus, a voice (figuratively) and most instrumentals, while they can be good, are worse off for that lack of "voice." Challenge: Issued!
