'Images and Words' in Loudwire's March Metal Madness

[Scorpion]

Sweet. I'll do the voting before the dawn and then we'll have it covered.

[bosk1]

Cool.  Do you normally get blood red skies at sunrise where you live?

[Scorpion]

Depends. The way the sky looks has been a victim of changes lately.

[bosk1]

Are you in the desert plains by any chance?

[TheGreatPretender]

You guys are derailing the thread. Bunch of hellions! Bosk, shouldn't you be keeping an electric eye on this place? Some days, you take the rules and ram it down our throats, and others, you're the sinner. Sorry, I'm just having a metal meltdown here.

Excuse me, but who are you to come into the thread with all guns blazing?  It's not my fault I have to step in here and be the grinder sometimes.  I swear, sometimes policing this forum is like being on hell patrol.  Be glad you have someone like me being the sentinel to make sure this place doesn't get completely out of control.

Well, I'm sorry for being a leather rebel, but someone needs to stand up to you, tyrant! It just takes a touch of evil. And even if I become exiled, I am doing it for the goodness of mankind. So even if you eat me alive, I will remain the defender of faith.

[bosk1]

Okay, I'm done.  I don't even like Judas Priest.

[TheGreatPretender]

I love Judas Priest, but yeah, I wasn't gonna take it any further. You don't have to be old to be wise, and I'm wise enough to know that this game is taking up wayy too much of my time.

[gentaishinigami]

DT encountering some pretty heavy resistance now.  Dropped back behind again.  I feel like its 5 DT fans (spam voting) vs hundreds of *other band* fans (casually voting) battling it out.

[Yoshi Yogurt]

Wow we are 49% we have to win! (*PSSTJUDASPRIESTISGARBAGEPSSST*)

[ZirconBlue]

Back in front with 52.35% now.

[Sycsa]

Still leading comfortably.

[Scorpion]

So DT won against Screaming For Vengeance, and now they're in the final four, along with Paranoid, Rust in Peace and Master of Puppets.

Yes, I know that this is completely pointless, the whole poll, but I'm still interested in seeing how DT will do.

[espion]

Does anyone know who they go up against next?

[gentaishinigami]

Megadeth, and it's going on now.  Just click the March Metal Madness link on the top toolbar and it should show DT vs Megadeth.  Losing pretty badly atm but it always starts out that way.  Gonna be a tough two fights!

[champbassist]

Doesn't really mean a lot, but I have to say that I really like the top 4 list, personally.  And, in my book, I&W, in all honesty, ranks higher than the other 3 albums.

[IdoSC]

While I also hold Images and Words in a much higher regard than the other 3 albums there, it probably won't stand a chance in this round, let alone vs. Master of Puppets.

This vote is apparently going to be another Metallica vs. Megadeth. Oh well, being in top 4 is still respectable

[espion]

Don't give up yet. They always start out losing at first.

[TheGreatPretender]

I guess like everything else about DT, the vote count really grows on you. 

[theseoafs]

Damn, Sabbath is getting their asses kicked in the other poll.

[IdoSC]

Don't give up yet. They always start out losing at first.

The ratio was 40-60 in Megadeth's favor when I wrote that previous comment. Now it's roughly 50-50

Very true haha

[iamtheeviltwin]

Which is unfortunate...Paranoid is a better album than Master

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

I dislike Paranoid and am ambivalent towards Master. So my vote goes to Metallica.

[MoraWintersoul]

Damn, let's make a good deed and spamvote Paranoid. DT ARMY

[Syzzle]

The best part about these polls are the facebook comments at the bottom. I don't think I have ever seen more butt hurt Dio, AC/DC and Judas Priest fans in my life.

[gentaishinigami]

Didn't even know there were comments there.  All my internet paranoia filters have all that stuff ripped out.  Gonna have to load it in IE and read some ftlols.

[Lolzeez]

Well,DT is winning. Can't wait till we get our asses kicked by Mehtallica.

[gentaishinigami]

Well,DT is winning. Can't wait till we get our asses kicked by Mehtallica.

I wonder if we can possibly pull out that victory.  Any casual passerby is going to most likely vote Metallica, and everyone bitter from losing to DT in previous brackets too.  We're really gonna have to crank up the spam votes to pull through this one!  I'm pretty surprised though by all the positive DT comments on the poll.  Figured it would be much more against DT (or more "who is DT") than it is.

[Scorpion]

It would be completely meaningless if DT won against Metallica, but it would also be fucking funny. lolspamvoting

[gentaishinigami]

I want to see the tears :3  Is that wrong?  Also, I would feel bad for spam voting but they literally asked for it so eh.

[Shadow2222]

I loved the one comment: "Dream Theater is music for gays."

I never realized, as a gay man, that that was why I liked DT! 

*btw, totally off topic, but just got engaged to my boyfriend. Yay lol!*

That's awesome, congratulations!

Edit:  We are losing again

[espion]

Its sooooo close
