Re-sent!

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? 

Gutsiest move I ever saw man.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5MOgcpUdQI

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."

So glad you specified 1986 Kelly McGillis.  Best thing I've read today.   :rollin :rollin
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Easy Stadler, you submitted a highly questionable song, by an artist I have repeatedly documented I hate, including in this very thread. So, no, you do not get Kelly McGillis c.1986 making you a sandwich, to say nothing of falling for you.

On topic, you know what always bothered me? Why does Iceman bite down when Maverick tells him he is dangerous? Is he trying to show how tough he is? How nice and bright his teeth are?

HAHA, that got a laugh out loud.  Sorry, I got too big for my britches there for a second.   :)

As for Iceman, that's a good question that I don't have the answer for.   That might be "acting".  :)

I haven't decided on a round 6 song yet but I'm thinking it may end up another instrumental, cause sending instrumental stuff is the only way I can really send some of the bands I'm big into right now :B

Round 4: Instrumentals, or The Log Jam. Definitely the hardest round to score, top to bottom so far.

TAC: Heavenly - Hands Of Darkness   
10   
   
Superb blend of musicianship, creativity, melody. Everything a metal instrumental should be.

Jingle.boy: Beyond the Bridge - Triumph of Irreality   
9   
   
Thought this song doesn't really get going till about 1:30. From there, it is gold.

Twosuitsluke: The Black Mages - Force Your Way   
7   
   
This was cool. They get in, rock, get out. Nothing extraneous or unnecessarily wanky. Thought the space-y effects weren't necessary.

Parama: East of the Wall - Precious Memories   
7   
   
Didn't like the main riff enough to score it any higher. The riffage starting at 3:30 was killer though.

Tomislav95: Mark Knopfler - Going Home Local Hero Theme (Night in London)   
7   
   
Sounded mediocre at first, but kept feeling like coming back to it, and liked it more and more each time.

Stadler: Genesis - Wot Gorilla?   
7   
   
Stadler asked me to listen to the song without knowing the artist, which I did and evaluated as such. This is a nice, concise instrumental with some good musicianship.  The keys alone make this a good song. The drumming make it less so. This is a 6, but +1 point for going with a risky pick.

Sacul: Air - La Femme d'Argent   
7   
   
Best youtube comment: "If I owned a space station I would play this in the lobby." Not my bag at all, but I dug it.

Elite: Riverside - Reality Dream III   
7   
   
Solid 7. This band has been on my "Check them out" list for a while. This song doesn't dissuade me of this.

kingshmegland: Frost* - Hyperventilate   
6   
   
Feel as though I should like this more than I do. Just didn't fully connect with it.

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Buckethead - Sled Ride   
4   
   
Not a song I see myself coming back to, but a fun little ditty.

home: Sigur Rós - 03 Untitled (Samskeyti)   
4   
   
How the hell do you pronounce this band's name? Decent song, piano melody got a little repetitive.

I'll gladly take the 9, but 6 for Hyperventilate is wrong... just wrong.  That would have been my #2 choice to send, so I'm glad I went with Triumph of Irreality - and yes, the first 90 seconds is a slow build.

Stads... you know what it takes to send Genesis in this roulette?



Now... how much of a chance do I want to take in this round??

To each his own but yeah, that instrumental kicks all ass.  Just not Chris's cup of tea.

imo that beyond the bridge album gets better as it goes on, the last few tracks are stellar but the stuff near the start is still at least pretty good, wouldn't call that particular song a 9 myself though

also samskeyti is beautiful :'(

I'll take that. The Black Mages have generally been more of a miss than a hit, when I've sent them previously.

Some great songs here. Sad to see Buckethead and Sigur Ros scoring so low :tdwn

Of course I've heard of them, I've heard their music, I know even a little about them (they're from Iceland, lots of falsetto vocals...) but I've never heard their name said.  How DO you pronounce it?

Also about the pronounciation, from their website: si-ur rose (the i is like the i in "hit". "rose" is said very quickly) :https://download.sigur-ros.co.uk/sigur.mp3

I'm at a loss with what is wrong with "Bing"?   I use Explorer, because it's a pain in the ass to load alternate browsers on the computer (it's an old work computer that they just let me keep).  I type "john lennon chuck berry" in the box at the top, and then on the next page, click the link that most closely looks like what I'm looking for.   

Later in the video, at the start of "Johnny B. Goode", Chuck looks at John, says "Johnny!" and points at him.   "Be good." and starts.  Really cool.  It's also really cool to see John Lennon, one of the all-time greats, and the guy that by all accounts was the driving force in the early years of the Beatles and got them to the point where anyone could actually say with a straight face "We're bigger than Jesus", fawning over Chuck like a school boy.

went ahead and sent out the rest of my roulette entries for this one so i can comfortably sit back and lose with style
i basically have no clue what you like and dislike besides "growls r bad" & my pick for round 7 is probably gonna be rejected but what the hell i tried & got to send no less than three songs off albums with growls on them

i'm also one step closer to my dream of having sent the entirety of The Apologist across all roulettes I've participated in. except I won't do that because I don't ever think tracks 9 & 10 will be worth sending but I've sent tracks 1-6 and 11 & 12 now thus far

If you click the link to the in my post you can hear the pronounciation (it's an audiofile on their website). It's soft but not completely silent if I hear it correctly.

Having a hard time scoring this round. No 10s and no 1s to set the curve. Everything is getting bunched up in the middle. Waiting for Sacul and Twosuitsluke to wrap this baby up.

would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

Round 5:

Tomislav95:  Vanden Plas - Vision 8ight - Misery Affection   
9   
   
Great song, the slow build was so nice, the vocal harmonies were great. Excellent lyrics. Is this song representative of this band's material?

Elite:  The Devin Townsend Project - Supercrush!   
9   
   
One of the top names I seem to see on dtf.org that I have never checked out! I am generally not a fan of the "Wall of Sound" approach, but this song makes it work! Whoa, is that Anneke vanLongname singing?  I can't decide if I think she is hot or not! Sometimes she is amazingly beautiful, others she is very pedestrian. Maybe she is a Two-Face #Seinfeld! Anyway, oh yes, the song! I really enjoyed this! A song that is going to bust your balls, but do it with finesse!  Note: Twosuitsluke wanted to sbumit this, but Elite came in first!

Stadler:  Alice In Chains - Brother   
8   
   
Grew up in the birthplace of Grunge (and Heart), but wasn't in to it during its ascendancy. I didn't like eveything that AiC released, and this one eluded me. But when Alice does it right, like they do here, they are the best at what they did. Maybe a 'hot take' here, but Jerry Cantrell is one of the most talented musician/songwriters to come out of the 90s, and for as big as AiC made it, his talents were held back here, he could have gone on to even bigger things.

Jingle.boy:  Firewind - Breaking the Silence   
8   
   
Nothing particularly memorable about this song, and it didn't do anything to distinguish itself in this round, but it is a rocker and made me want more of this band. A safe pick with me, 88 mph fastball down the middle; but only worth a double, maybe stretched to a triple.

Twosuitsluke:  Oceans of Slumber - Winter   
8   
   
Note: This is Twosuitsluke's Wild Card. His first submission was Steven Wilson - Pariah. It is also this round's Blake's Brass Balls entry, with the Scott Farrell vocals. Dare I say I liked how they worked in the song, providing a pleasant counterbalance to the powerful female vocals. Great music, soloing, all around great song.

Sacul:  Steven Wilson - Routine   
8   
   
Beautiful music from SW, Some of the best I've heard from him in my limited experience with his material. I've been critical of his whiny 'Peter Gabriel in Genesis' vocal style, but when it works, it works well, as it does here.

TAC:  Alice Cooper - Millie and Billie   
7   
   
This made me think of Meat Loaf. Not the food. Nothing makes me think of meatloaf. Thankfully. This song is much more appealing than meatloaf. I get why they closed the way they did, but I thought it could have either ended on a stronger note, or a more cacophonous one. This one ended on a bit of a whimper. Note; TAC's Wild Card was Project Aegis-Angel In The Ashes.

Parama:  Bodies of Water - Under the Pines   
5   
   
That was an annoyingly jarring keyboard intro. Is Derek Sherinian in this band? Intro was longer than it should have been. Gained momentum after that and got better, unfortunately that was half-way through the song.

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Diablo Swing Orchestra - Voodoo Mon Amour

Didn't think I'd make it through the first listen. But did, then came back to it later, and my ill feelings went away. 99 times out of 100 I dislike horns in my rock. This might be the 1 though, they made it work. The vocals were the weak link for me in this song, which hurts on around with a vocal theme.

What was up with the opening vocals? The gal vocalist came in to help, and turned it in to a good song. The last third of the song it felt like they were singing over each other, instead of with each other. I really liked the music though, and that kept my ears intrigued. I liked the Beyond the Bridge instrumental I got last round much more than this song.

Piano reminded me of my sister's piano recitals I went to when we were kids. Not a knock on the talent, just not what I want in my music. Really liked the change at 4:00, from there I enjoyed it much more. Up till then it was a little too weak for me.

Parama: 32
Sacul: 32
Tomislav95: 32
Elite:   30
Shadow Ninja 2.0: 29
Kingshmegland: 28
home: 14

Coming out of the midway point, the top two continue their stride. Will they risk an extra push to secure a victory? Will they play it safe and hope the other one falters? Will someone catch them down the home stretch? This is where champions are made.

Round 6 is open. Fire away!

That's why I used it as my wildcard. I thought the harsh vocals would kill it for you Chris. Glad you liked it but also a bit gutted I didn't manage to send Supercrush! before Elite :getoffmylawn:
