Got some time right now, so Round 7 results!! Great round overall!
Wolf:
Winger- Seventeen: Of course this stupid song is a bonus song! This is the song that has consumed us at DTF for how long? I just can't believe it took till round 7 for someone to send it, I figured it was a gimme for somebody early on. I was just kind of hoping that Tim would have sent it; this would have been the ultimate irony. 11
TAC:
Mcauley Schenker- Anytime: Another TAC classic!! I am a big fan of MSG, especially the first two albums. In regards to Mcauley Schenker, I've heard "Save Yourself" and this one before, and really liked them, but never looked into them any further because the Save Yourself album seemed so hard to find. I really should look into this closer because this ballad is exactly the reason I have a shoe box of bics. Really the definition of an 80s power ballad and awesome stuff. And Tim, before your blood pressure goes through the roof, yes its true. You are getting a perfect score, but still lost to Winger. 10
Splent:
Lita Ford- Kiss Me Deadly: For fucks sake Spencer! This is getting weird and I'm starting to think that Splent is actually Criss Angel. 11
Hath:
Black Tora- Fuel My Hunger: Awesome choice with this one, this is exactly what I would look for in a newer metal band. Classic sounding all the way, maybe a heavier version of Y&T mixed with Dokken. Great stuff. 9.5
Paul:
Talisman- Mysterious: This is another band that has been on my radar for years, the main reason being that Jeff Scott Soto is the lead singer. I've never heard anything from him that I didn't like and this is right up my alley too. Melodic metal/rock 101 right here and another great pick from Paul. What albums would you recommend from them? 9
Chad:
Star One- Master of Darkness: A Star Wars heavy metal song! I've noticed Chad pimping this band a few times and it sounded quite interesting. Well, it is. And to have Sir Russell Allen on vocals on top of it! If Russell was singing me the breakfast menu at McDonalds I would be rocking out! Very very cool song! 9.5
Fluff:
Stooges- Fun House: Just like Janis Joplin, I respect what the Stooges have done musically, but there is a zero percent chance I could ever get into them. Not a bad song though, just not my thing. 6
Brent:
Heavens Gate- Livin in Hysteria: Brent is a roulette master and he continues to be very consistent in sending me songs that he knows I will like. Another old school metal band that I've never heard of, but is totally my thing. Just pure pedal to the metal and is a band I will have to look into further, just like Leige Lord and Artch. 9.5
Evermind:
Marillion- Sugar Spice: I've seen this band around DTF many times and I have checked out some of their stuff. But the material came across to me sounding a bit like Peter Gabriel era Genesis. And I can't say that I enjoy the trippy stuff too much. But I will say that this song specifically is much better that what I remember sampling and I actually dug it quite a bit. But still not enough to look into the band much more further. 7
