The Song Roulette Tracker Thread 3.0 - v. Betting on red just this once

[jingle.boy]

I've got some of that in my arsenal.

I meant growls only, no cleans! 

I *think* I know/like a couple of songs like that.  If not, I can tag someone in for a round. 

[wolfking]

If I remember you have a serious distain for female vox in general so I wouldn't send you any of that stuff. (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.

And that's what it's all about. 

Look, depending on interest, I'll have the time to take a lot of participants on truthfully.  Over the next few months it's now and probably never.

I have faith in you Chad!

I do like the idea of themes, but then as long as they are not too restrictive.  Doing a female vocal round is probably something I SHOULD do, but I want to enjoy the roulette.

All the more reason to do one!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I had a whole round of people sending 20 minutes each of styles that I'm not that into.  Some of it was brutal to get through, but there were some real gems too. 

[Sacul]

Yeah that dreamcrusher tune really blew away all of your expectations

It's true, there's no point doing a roulette and just wanting to restrict it to what I'm comfortable with.  That defeats the purpose.

This would equate to the exact opposite of what I just wrote.

It's more about making Tim uncomfortable.

Fuck it, count me in...been a while since I battled someone for dead last.

[wolfking]

While you're here Chris.....um.....am I putting Enslaved on the banned list or not?

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

While you're here Chris.....um.....am I putting Enslaved on the banned list or not?

If you're wondering about the Enslaved Discography thread, it's still active. 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 

[wolfking]

Fuck it, count me in...been a while since I battled someone for dead last.

After discovering Takayoshi, I was checking out some Galneryus last night so there's hope for you yet! 

I might add them to the band list, I'll be checking more, this Syu is fucking amazing.

.....oh and Anthem!

All good mate, hope things are all okay.  But yes, I guess they will be added to my list since I want to follow along in that one.

Just wait till you hear Kanami, Hal-CA, Saki, and Lisa-X

[wolfking]

They all sound like motorcycle brands.

The only difference is they ride you!

I mean.. Lisa just turned 18 so ew...


Saki on the other hand....

Beat me to the jab. I was gonna ask if he was ready to FINISH a roulette too. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Your last one was before my time here, so I'd love to participate.

[Dr. DTVT]

I don’t have the last round songs.  Just declare the winner of whoever was winning up to that point.

Well shit!  I can dig that.   

Although, apparently I've been whining in roulette's since 2014!   

Round 6 – Spicy

Sacul: Throne of Chaos – The Window
After 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.
7/8

TAC: Lucifer’s Friend  – Ride The Sky
Just 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.
2/8

Obfuscation: 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.
3/8

senecadawg2: Byzantine – Jeremiad
If 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.
6/8

Nekov: The Contortionist  – Language I: Intuition
This 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.
8/8

jingle.boy: Glass Mind – Haunting Regrets
This 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.
5/8

lonestar: Profusion – Dedalus Falling
Another 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.
6/8

Scorpion: Tyr – Hear The Heathen Call
Another 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.
4/8

Dark Castle: Red Hot Chili Peppers – Sir Psycho Sexy
I 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.
1/8

Round theme winner: Dark Castle

HANDICAPS
Jingle.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)
