I've got some of that in my arsenal.
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".
Remember the mark of a great vocalist is if TAC hates them with a special passion

(If you don't have an issue with female vox, I'm in lol)You are correct, I really am not a female vocal kinda guy. Obviously growls are normally fine but with clean vocals the type of voice I'd like is someone like Magali Luyten. A chick with a bit of grunt. Someone like Amanda Sommerville I quite like too but when it comes to the pretty sweet or operatic type, it's normally off to a bad start.I was gonna send you a PM about this when the roulette started, but that kind of answers it. I'll avoid them for prelims but if I'm in the roulette itself I definitely have a few artists that might surprise you.

Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Doing a female vocal round is probably something I SHOULD do, but I want to enjoy the roulette.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?
Congrats Lizzo!
Litho ... The North American Evermind!
Litho is like the Stadler on the Music side.
“Zantera / Sacul music”
I want your D if it's still up for grabs
I outpopped Sacul

Hey Stadler, your PM inbox is full.
Derek Sherinian probably stands 10 feet away from the urinal, shoots from downtown, and announces loudly that he's making history.

Lonestar, speaking wise.
Listen to Lonestar and trust him.
While you're here Chris.....um.....am I putting Enslaved on the banned list or not?
Fuck it, count me in...been a while since I battled someone for dead last.

I'm working on the next update, it's just been slow because of work/life/personal issues...etc...So, up to you I guess

They all sound like motorcycle brands.
Maybe I’m ready to run another Roulette…
Quote from: Dr. DTVT on January 06, 2024, 07:33:10 PMMaybe I’m ready to run another Roulette…You still haven't finished the last one!
I don’t have the last round songs. Just declare the winner of whoever was winning up to that point.
Round 6 – SpicySacul: Throne of Chaos – The WindowAfter a slow start, I think Sacul is starting to hone in on my taste. This song has some really nice instrumental parts, and the singer fits the music well. He doesn’t seem to fit into some of the known singer archetypes and no one is going to confuse him for JLB, Bruce Dickenson, or Russell Allen, but he seems to know what he can do and doesn’t do, which is why his voice seemed to stick out. The main riff was very catchy, and the mellow middle section had a slight Caribbean feel. 7/8TAC: Lucifer’s Friend – Ride The SkyJust finding something that fit your handicaps was really good. To find something that was pretty cool from before 1978 and featured an organ and French horn…mighty damn impressive. I loved how the horn was used too. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of these guys influencing other bands, because it certainly seemed like they were doing a lot of interesting things back in 1970. This score is more a result of ranking songs than how much I enjoyed it.2/8Obfuscation: Rammstein – Te Quiero Puta! Translation: I love you whore! Back when I was in high school and starting college, I had two Rammstein albums (Herzeleid and Sehnsucht), and just assumed they made German industrial metal ever since then. Then in my second roulette Metty sent me a Rammstein song that felt like it was heavily influence by surfer music, which was quite a surprise. This song had a Latin feel beyond the Spanish title, so I my official stance is I have no idea what these guys did beyond those two albums, and they are clearly a stronger band than their gimmick laden persona suggests. The one part that will generally be a mystery is their songwriting, because I don’t speak German, but I respect the hell out of them for sticking to their roots and writing their songs in German.3/8senecadawg2: Byzantine – JeremiadIf White Zombie and Pantera had baby, and it was raised by Mikael Akerfeld, this would be the result. It was heavy, groovy, and had maybe the best guitar solo of the round. Black_floyd had asked me to check them out before, and I never got around to it. I’m going to have to change that post haste.6/8Nekov: The Contortionist – Language I: IntuitionThis song from the first listen had pole position this round, and it never gave it up. The song started with a very mellow airy intro and started to build up, and right when it seemed like it was going to boil over into some aggressive riff, it suddenly ended. I think the song is more than the sum of its parts, because while I can’t specifically say what I loved about it, I thoroughly enjoyed it when I listened to it.8/8jingle.boy: Glass Mind – Haunting RegretsThis song and lonestar’s were real close, and initially these were switched, but while I think musically they were neck and neck, Profusion had just a slight edge in the vocals department. But another solid entry by jingle.whiney.5/8lonestar: Profusion – Dedalus FallingAnother solid prog metal entry from lonestar. The strength of this song is the chorus, which is catchy. There is a nice instrumental section in there towards the end, because all prog songs must be at least 7 minutes.6/8Scorpion: Tyr – Hear The Heathen CallAnother folk metal entry from Scorpion. If it works, might as well stick to it. The strength of this song is the pre-chorus, which shifts up an octave and grabs your attention, whether you want to give it or not.4/8Dark Castle: Red Hot Chili Peppers – Sir Psycho SexyI probably should have DQ’ed this song because I used to own this album…on cassette tape, but that probably also gives you an idea of how long it has been since I heard this song. When I was a kid I thought 8 minutes was entirely too long for a song This song is just RHCP being silly and overly sexual. The lyrics are so over the top all you can really do is smile and laugh because I don’t think the song is meant to be taken seriously. NOW SUCK MY DICK! This song is what it is; a funny song that in the second half turns into a groovy romp. Songs like this have me wanting to see Flea take a crack at something like prog because I think he’d slay it. Time being what it is…20 years ago I thought this was funny and cool, now it’s just not my thing.1/8Round theme winner: Dark CastleHANDICAPSJingle.boy, for the next round your song name must begin with a G, H, L, U, or V TAC, for the next round, your song must feature a non-traditional rock/metal instrument (something other than drums, guitar, bass, keyboards)Public Standingsjingle.boy – 35Senecadawg2 – 33TAC – 32Scorpion – 32Dark Castle – 30Sacul – 28Lonestar – 23Nekov – 23Obfuscation – 19
So, I'm not getting added to the waitlist? I can go back to lurking then, I can see I'm not wanted
Updating: my roulette will likely be done within the next 10 or so days.
