The Coolest Roulette around! Cool Chris' Roulette - RESULTS

[twosuitsluke]

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.

Nice. It probably was a bit of cop out sending this song but I'll try and mix it up a bit from here on out.

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.

Not sure I would've sent that song but nice, nonetheless. Incidentally, I was thinking of sending a Baroness instrumental in the next round (as I think their instrumentals are some of their best tracks). FYI, I would've gone for either Green Theme or Stretchmaker

That Glass Mind album is killer.  They turned into an instrumental band with their last album and EP.  Never really understood why - I loved their vocals.  Good thing I wasn't going to use the instrumental from that album - I think it was #5 option on my list.

Forgotten Suns are also awesome.  I don't play that album enough, but every song on there is 4 and 5 stars.

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!

My triumph will become a reality soon enough.

[Crow]

Either The Line Between or Chlorine & Wine would be my fav baroness song so that's why I sent it 
Also yeah blackbird is alright
Still think it goes on a bit longer than it needs to though

Also geez poor home 

[TAC]

Kingshmegland gave me that Forgotten Sons track in my roulette. That's a great tune.


Lords Of Black, huh? That is a good album. A 10 though?? Hmmm..

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!

Yeah, grading instrumentals can be tough.

[Crow]

hello darkness my old friend

[Sacul]

Oh damn still haven't sent my entry.

[TAC]

Oh damn still haven't sent my entry.

Really? That's a shock. 

[twosuitsluke]

Oh damn still haven't sent my entry.

Same. I'll have to get on this tonight.

[Cool Chris]

Remember that I am actually ahead of schedule. My Round 3 Results are due this weekend, Round 4 submissions are due Wednesday the 4th.

As TAC said, these rankings are harder for me. But good submissions this round so far. Lots of artists I've read about, mainly on here, but not familiar with their work.

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.

haha, yeah, they had a few hits including this one.

Blackbird is killer indeed, great send.  I don't know much here besides that.  Bolsters sent me Glass Mind in my roulette and it was pretty good.  From what I've heard of Lords of Black, it didn't impress me, but might be time to try again since The Ferrymen have come around for me.

[Cool Chris]

Twosuitsluke, Sacul, Stadler, Elite... "The waiting is the hardest part...." 

[twosuitsluke]

Sending tonight, I promise!

[Crow]

Don't get John Caged

[Cool Chris]

What??? Are you talking about this being my response if someone sends me a song with growlie vocals?

[Stadler]

I can't decide!!!

[Crow]

Everyone who doesn't submit on time in my roulette submits John Cage - 4'33" by default, which is 4 minutes 33 seconds of silence

[TAC]

Who is John Cage?

[Stadler]

No longer waiting on me, bitches. 

[Cool Chris]

I thought John Cage was the guy from Mortal Kombat. The Wikipedia tells me he was a pretentious composer who's biggest claim to fame is not writing anything and passing it off as music.

Stadler, do you realize how close you came to being disqualified from this Roulette? I will overlook your transgression, this time, as I was somewhat pleased with your submission after my first (blind) listen.

[TAC]

What's Mortal Kombat?

[wolfking]

What's Mortal Kombat?

The fuck?!?!?!

[twosuitsluke]

What's Mortal Kombat?

Trolling??

If not can someone please send the MK theme tune in TAC's roulette??? for the love of God!

[jingle.boy]

What's Mortal Kombat?

The fuck?!?!?!

When it comes to Tim, I've found



is often a completely plausible response in these situations.

[twosuitsluke]

Sent.

At least I know Bolsters would appreciate this one 

[TAC]

The fuck?!?!?!

I've heard of Mortal Kombat, in name only. It's a video game, right? But I have definitely never heard of John Cage.

[Cool Chris]

Correct, tournament fighter game big in the 90s, especially due to the blood, which was pretty rare back in those days. I was a Street Fighter II guy myself.

Hadn't heard of John Cage either.

Waiting for 2 more songs. So far, I have a 10, a 9, nothing below a 5, and one song from the Band Who Will Not Be Named.

[TAC]

What's Street Fighter? 

[Crow]

proud owner of that 5

[King Postwhore]

What's Mortal Kombat?

The fuck?!?!?!

Dear God!

[Sacul]

Sent a chill 8-min instrumental.

[Bolsters]

At least I know Bolsters would appreciate this one

Can't win if you don't play.
Go big or go home.
It's all about the journey.

I'm running out of cheesy reality TV aphorisms.    But I struggled with this round for days, back and forth, not wanting to resort to the easy (any of 15 Blackmore instrumentals that I have/love) and I kept coming back to THAT SONG.  And I figured... what do I have to lose? 

[Elite]

Well, shit. I sent a song that's not an instrumental apparently (didn't look well enough...). Will send again in a bit!!

Gutsiest move I ever saw man.

You cut out the part where Val Kilmer does the "Horatio Caine" sunglasses removal.

Now, do I get Kelly McGillis (1986 Kelly McGillis) to chase me through the streets of wherever the hell they were?  "Stadler... my review of your post was right on... but I held something back.  I see some real genius in your posting, Stadler, but I can't say that in there.  I was afraid that everyone would see right through me, and I just didn't want anyone to know I was falling for you."
