[lonestar]

I don't see my name, but you got mine, right?

[obscure]

oh yes I have yours lovely.... turns out I read the message and failed to see the song... I must have checked it via my phone when I was out or sth.. anyway sorted now....
but yours on the other hand my king, I can't see it in my inbox... the only song there, is your first submission.... you're dying to give me that belly-dancing, aren't you  hey I'm dying to see too.. so it's win win... shoot!


hey I must confess, since I was traveling through my roulette so far, I have been a little disorganised, just to avoid keeping you guys waiting for ages....

anyway.. I will be looking for your song dear king.... feel free to help me though!


kiss you all...

[King Postwhore]

I sent you mine as well before you posted this. Let me know if I need to resend it.

[obscure]

ok guys.. only Elite is missing...

I'm gonna post the results today... in a few hours....

[obscure]

This round, five souls are damned to float the eternity of pain that is the river. Yet, don't lose hope as one of the lost souls from the river emerged with enough silver pennies to catch the Ferryman's eye and that one soul, namely DTVT is back in the Halls of the Dead!!!

The other Elite is nowhere to be seen

The remaining 12 souls are hoarding pennies for more real estate in the Elysium Fields (and maybe even backstage passes).

This is going to be the last round in the Halls and it is going to be semi-open. Those with enough pennies to tempt the Ferryman from this round will start the journey towards the Elysium Fields with me...




who submitted what and the semi-theme are coming shortly.....

stay tuned.... 

[Cyclopssss]

I have no idea what you just said.....





But it's you who said it, so that's fine... 

[obscure]

aww...  aren't you sweet!!! .. hang on... everything will be crystal clear in a few minutes... 


edit: ok here is the total scores .. this will help with the explanation above....



Round 2 scoring next....

[MasterShakezula]

I'm dead, aren't I?   

[obscure]

you're in the river hun.... but DTVT swam his way back to the Hall... so if you've got a song to send... shoot... or send me a belly dancing perf.. and ta daa you're back in the game   



First of all I want to let you know that I had to reject some songs... I know how it feels to want to get someone into the band you love... but there are some bands that I think I’ve given a fair chance but never could do the trick for me.... So.... No more Pain of Salvation ... No more Opeth please... feel free to send those in addition to your actual submissions... I’d appreciate that... You might also wanna avoid sumbitting The Dear Hunter and Mars Volta... I don’t want you to hate me after this roulette    but again, reccommending me songs by these bands is always appreciated....  Who want to miss on great songs??...


Now R2 resuts:

JBoy  6+1+1 Flaming Row - Rage of Despair (1 extra silver penny for introducing an amazing concept album and a whole lot of great musicians to me another penny for the compelling summary he provided about the project).. very well done honey... I'd give you one more penny if I could...
WebRaider 6+2  Protest The Hero – Moonlight  (2 extra pennies for only sweeping me off my feet.. bloody hell Raider.. you’ve done a great job)
Yorost 6+1 Dead Soul Tribe - Angels in Vertigo (1 extra silver penny for giving me a good background)
boy_floyd  6+1  Rusty Cooley / Outworld – Warcry (Bloody Hell floyd… this song made me bang my head hard… all these guys are on fire.. very impressive chorus.. nice riffs… very well chosen honey.. congrats… also extra penny for walking me through how you came across the song)   
King 6+1 The weight - Sieges Even (extra penny for sending me a what I consider a really good ballad for a non-ballad round... y'all know that it’s a challenge in my roulette.. King nailed it)
Rich  5,5 Closure in Moscow – Afterbirth
Zantera   5 Amplifier – Airborne
Ytse 4,5  Ozric Tentacles - Waterfall City
Kari 4,5 +0,5  And So I Watch You From Afar - Set Guitars To Kill (half a penny for the cute drummer.. not kidding… this brings me to our very first semi-theme… in a few secs…)
Deathlok 4,5 Moonlit Sailor - Hope
DTVT 4,5 + 0.5 Haggard - Per Aspera Ad Astra (half a penny for telling me why he picked this song... This score could be higher actually... the trouble is that I'm familiar with Haggard's work... and sent him an e-mail regarding this and asked for a new song... but he might have told me that he's not checking the e-mail account and asked for a PM instead... so he's now given  the chance to give me an extra song to ask for extra pennies next round.. I think that's fair.... )
lonestar- 4,5 Martin Orford- Out In The Darkness
King in Crimson 4 Intronaut – Elegy
Nekov 3 Korpikliani - Voice Of Wilderness - Beer, Beer
Cyclops 3,5 Ka-Boom  -  Didn´t mean a thing (?)
TheStinger 3 Tantric – Astounded
Cup – 3 The Flaming Lips - Fight Test (Cat Stevens - Father and Son rip off???)








New Round...

It’s actually another open round... But slightly specified... I want a video (along with the mp3 if possible) where I see me some exciting performers... I don’t mind guys or gals... I love watching good looking or passionate people on stage..for me it’s part of the experience.. you can take kari’s and floyd’s submissions as examples... or take a look at this.. I dig Einar’s passion on this video.... or give me a Daniel  or a Stu.. I think you got the idea.... don’t get me wrong tho... all those songs (bands) are gold... I am not asking for pretty-faces-only ... I’m want some good shit with some extra this time....
I give you 4 days... Deadline is the 3rd of March.... go.. bring me gems....






WebRaider and Chad... thank you ... just thank you! damn....

and Rich... thanks for Scar Symmetry.. I checked them out God knows how many times.. and had some fave songs like Morphogenesis, The Anomaly, The Illisionist.. and so on... but never thought they could one day go up there right next to my fave bands... so thanks hun... I owe you one extra penny... please claim your silver penny with next round's submission.... that song and a lot of others by SS are blowing my mind at the moment....

Best of luck guys....

[Cyclopssss]

Me in the red....there's something new.... 

I'll try and find you something exciting.

[obscure]

go for it....

your first song was really good btw... you seem to have done some good stuff!

[Cyclopssss]

go for it....

your first song was really good btw... you seem to have done some good stuff!

Some... too bad it's almost all in the 'analogue' era.. 

I'll send you some outside of the competition, if that's alright with you....

[obscure]

I'd love that!

[YtseBitsySpider]

so....it's the total of the two numbers?
so..I'm doin ok then?


video..and the mp3...and have them be fun, exciting on stage.

Right.

(women...so demanding)

[obscure]

I know 


but hey... you know you can do it... shame that I saw your Asking Alexandria submission on of the roulettes and fell in love with them right away... it could be a perfect choice for this round....

c'mon now... gimme one of your gems.... gimme gimme gimme

[YtseBitsySpider]

gems...right.


I'll find something.

[obscure]

I know you will 

[ariich]

and Rich... thanks for Scar Symmetry.. I checked them out God knows how many times.. and had some fave songs like Morphogenesis, The Anomaly, The Illisionist.. and so on... but never thought they could one day go up there right next to my fave bands... so thanks hun...

Awesome!

Glad you enjoyed the Closure in Moscow as well, I wasn't too worried when you mentioned you weren't a fan of the Mars Volta, as like I said, CiM are a lot more accessible and energetic.

[obscure]

They are awesome.... of really high quality stuff!
I've already benefited greatly from this roulette

[King Postwhore]

I'm glad you like my song Nem.  They are a very cool Prog band but like you said less on the heavy side.  Check out their 2 albums from the 2000's.  I bet you'd like them.

[obscure]

I bet I will my dear... 

[jingle.boy]

hhhmmmm... Dilemma now.  Most of my favorite live performances are from bands you will already know.  This round is gonna suck for me.  Good thing I started strong.

[obscure]

oh very strong indeed!

[jingle.boy]

Question, can bands already submitted (by anyone) be re-used?

[lonestar]

Damn, seems I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth.

[obscure]

 


Fair question Chad...

It might be acceptable for this round, only if I'm not already familiar with their line up and performance on stage..... The thing is I have accepted bands that I know of up to now.. such as Gamma Ray... Symphony X... and some others...

I mean I have seen Russel Allen live three times for heaven's sake.. even got hit on 

so I will reject such bands... others are OK FOR THIS ROUND! (and for the next round of which I will declare the theme today)

Checking with me wouldn't do any harm.. but mind you ... giving me something new tunes can always bring you extra pennies....


I hope it makes sense....

[King Postwhore]

I think I've got a perfect song.  Not prog by has prog elements.  Very famous musician but I need to look into your music when I get home Nem to see if you've heard it before.  It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it and see it.

[obscure]

[lonestar]

I have absofuckinglutly no idea what to send.  This may take a bit.

[Elite]

Oh, crap. I thought I was dead and could choose when to send my song, oops. How do I go from now on?
Sorry!
