Finally a decision!

So here we go then...

FINAL - HERETIC VS LONESTAR

Who will be crowned Champion of Champions? And who will have to settle for the quite awesome but less prestigious title of Runner Up of Champions?

One problem with song roulettes is that it’s often hard to choose which song to send by a band you love. Sometimes there’s not just one song that encapsulates all that’s great about the band. Well that’s not going to be a problem for this final. Send us two or three (your choice, so choose wisely) songs by the same band or artist, to give as much of an impression of them as possible, and to entice into wanting to hear more!

Good luck to both of you!

Congrats RJ!! One hell of a battle. Good luck

This whole roulette has to be one of the most exciting events on the forums ever.

I was thinking about making another one where the judgement to the song provided by the champions will come as an average of the ratings and reviews given by every member who would like to contribute. Could be a tought thing to handle, but I can see it becoming a worthy show too

Mechanical Poet is cool, but I did kind of get tired of the vocal stylings after a few listens.

Woodland Prattlers is still a pretty great album though.

*takes a deep breath*

Sent...

Heretic, best of luck to you man. I hope you will be as worthy of a competitor as the mighty King was.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #461 on:** February 04, 2013, 06:17:58 AM »

Looking forward to this. Interested in what you both pick for the band.

I already wished good luck to Heretic, good luck to you too loney

ariich · « **Reply #464 on:** February 04, 2013, 11:47:23 AM »

I've PMed Heretic to let him know that the final is up.

Once he sends, I'll post the list of who was guessed for the identity of the mystery judge, and how many people guessed them (including non-particpants).

Heretic · « **Reply #465 on:** February 04, 2013, 01:39:53 PM »

One question: is this like, pick your favorite band and send three of their songs? Because my favorite band is a band you're already very familiar with, Rich. So I'm assuming pick a favorite that's fairly obscure even if it's not your TRUE favorite?

Also good luck to you too lonestar! I think you'll probably end up winning which I am super cool with, getting this far was something I never even expected in the first place so I'm VERY humbled haha.

Well I'm pretty fucked if that's the case.

ariich · « **Reply #469 on:** February 04, 2013, 02:25:29 PM »

Doesn't have to be your absolute favourite band, Heretic. Just a band that you love that you think we might not know and therefore would enjoy exploring/discovering. For me personally, that's what these roulettes are all about - discovering amazing new music!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #470 on:** February 04, 2013, 03:09:48 PM »

So then I'd like a revue of this album when you get it.

Fucking commas, how do they work?

lonestar · « **Reply #472 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:49:06 PM »

Damn I'm nervous

ariich · « **Reply #473 on:** February 05, 2013, 03:03:46 PM »

You'll have to be nervous a bit longer, Heretic hasn't submitted yet...

King Postwhore · « **Reply #474 on:** February 05, 2013, 03:52:37 PM »

lonestar · « **Reply #475 on:** February 05, 2013, 05:06:57 PM »

Well crap, deduct some point from him for lagging then. Sheesh!!!!

Lolzeez · « **Reply #476 on:** February 05, 2013, 05:20:58 PM »

Good luck to both of you guys!

Heretic · « **Reply #477 on:** February 05, 2013, 07:46:57 PM »

I don't get a lot of internet time these days, YEESH. Sending in the next few.

Right, the songs are in, which means I can tell you who the mystery judge isn't! Here are the guesses, and how many people including non-participants guessed them:

GuitarCozmo: 5
black_floyd: 3
DTVT: 1
RobWebster: 1
lateralus88: 1
hefdaddy42: 1
BlobVanDam: 1
Jordan Rudess: 1

I think it's important to note that of the 5 people who guessed GuitarCozmo, one of them was even Coz himself.

So is the judge one of them or someone totally different?

lonestar · « **Reply #482 on:** February 06, 2013, 12:58:16 AM »

The judge is someone else.

And Rich, when can we expect results? Just curious, I'm not impatient or anything.... $:\$

Scorpion · « **Reply #483 on:** February 06, 2013, 12:58:43 AM »

Damn.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #484 on:** February 06, 2013, 05:25:19 AM »

Coz, that's too funny!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #485 on:** February 06, 2013, 05:33:43 AM »

My guess is El Barto.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #486 on:** February 06, 2013, 06:57:11 AM »

Definitely if I didn't know that it wasn't me, I'd have TOTALLY thought it was me. Mystery judge's comment have me written all over them. Obviously, since enough people guessed me.

So you have a copycat somewhere on the boards? Are you that influential? Or is it the other way round?

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #488 on:** February 06, 2013, 07:16:45 AM »

No, it's likely someone else who has as much disdain for the music that's popular around here as I have.

It must be Blob.

ariich · « **Reply #489 on:** February 06, 2013, 01:50:10 PM »

Ok so results will be later tonight or, at the latest, tomorrow.

All I can tell you right now is that this very close.
