Hello everyone, welcome to my first song roulette! In the words of James Labrie, I'm extremely excited.

---PARTICIPANTS---

-Scorpion
-?
-LieLowTheWantedMan
-senecadawg2
-Elite
-Lucien
-Lolzeez
-Nekov
-jingle.boy
-elefantStone

Unless someone drops out, spots are closed.


---RULES---

- There will be eight rounds, each lasting a week, or until everyone submits something.
- Please try to keep the songs thirteen minutes or shorter; it makes listening to them and grading them much easier.
- Songs will be graded from a scale of 1 to 10, with half points (i.e. 8.5/10)
- You should try to follow the theme for each round, but songs are graded based on how much I like them, not how well they follow the theme. That said, if the song doesn't fit the theme at all, it'll probably lose some points.
- No more than two songs from the same band can be used in the roulette. See the "newly banned" section at the bottom to check which bands have already been used up.
- In terms of submissions, PMing me a YouTube link is preferred, or anything that doesn't force me to sign up to hear it. If the song doesn't seem to be available anywhere online, just send me the name of the song and I'll find some way to listen to it.

I'm ready. And that's probably the shortest 'banned list' I've ever seen in a roulette. This should be a breeze. Get ready to die, bitches! :D
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

I'm not really anticipating mine because I'm either gonna have to make a really gigantic banned list or just put bands I absolutely adore on it. :lol

On mine there will probably be a big list of partially banned bands.

Alright, everyone's ready, so let's do this!



ROUND 1: THE OPENER

The first song on an album or the first song in a setlist is very important; it should be bombastic, energetic, and should let everyone know that they're in for one hell of a ride. So, for this round, you must send me a good "opener" song. While it's hard to come up with a concrete definition for what that means, you can usually feel it when you've got a song that's a kickass opener.

Keep in mind, the song you send me does NOT have to be the first song on its respective album, as long as it wouldn't feel out-of-place as an opener. (i.e Metropolis Part 1)



This round will last until next Thursday or whenever everyone has sent in a submission. Let's get this show started!

Sent, yo.
And based on the banned list and my favourite bands, I'm sure there's people who could guess what I sent.

Let's get together with all the participants for a couple of consecutive rounds and send him songs by the same band. That'll show him :P

Yeah, I got it.

Everyone has given me a submission already, I'll obviously need some time to absorb everything though. Stay tuned!

So you're saying I shouldn't allow songs from a band already used? :lol

I would limit it depending on the score. Like for example, if a band gets a 7 or above it can't be used no more.
