Round 8!!
Brent:
Zool- Snake Eyes: Brent sends another fantastic choice and plays up my Dio love, just like Evermind did earliier. Imagine if Dio was still with us and reunited with Ritchie in Rainbow. This would be the end result and this song is killer! Another great choice! 10
Chad:
Pathosray- Scent of Snow: This song may have been slightly out of my comfort zone, but Chad really wanted me on a Taste of Italy. It worked, I really liked this one. It has a very cool atmospheric sound to it and the last third had a Dream Theater/Redemption vibe to it. Cool song! 9
Fluff:
Kyuss- Supa Scoopa and the Mighty Scoop: I was tempted to give you one Japanese bonus point just for the song title. If I'm not mistaken, Queens of the Stoned Age and Kyuss are the same band. They both play a solid slab of stoner rock. Like all your submissions Fluff, this is solid stuff, but nothing that would overly be my thing. 6.5
Paul:
Night Ranger- You Can Still Rock in America: Yikes, this was close, but sorry Paul. "Sister Christian" is actually a bonus song. But if it makes you feel any better, "You Can Still Rock in America" is my favorite tune from Night Ranger. 8.5
Evermind:
David Gilmour- The Answer: EM didn't think I would like this song that much, and I was quite surprised that I did enjoy it as much as I did. A bit heavier than I expected as well. This was a cool selection dude. 8
Splent:
Great White- Once Bitten, Twice Shy: Yup. 11
TAC:
Jack Starr- Concrete Warrior: Tim plays to my old school interest on this one with Rhett Forrester on vocals. Imagine combining Virgin Steele and Riot; thats a winning combination and right up my alley. Is this a TAC classic? 9
Wolf:
Dream Evil- Book of Heavy Metal: I know Chasing the Dragon from Dream Evil and always thought that was a cool tune. Well, this one is right up there with CtD and is Hammerfallish metal 101. Awesome old school sounding metal and another great selection by Wolf- he knows his newer metal! 8.5
Hath:
Jaded Heart- Ain't a Perfect World: This song sounded like a combination of Hardline, House of Lords and Axel Rudi Pell. In the melodic rock world, that's as good as it gets and I really liked this song. The vocals sounded very familar to me so I had to look into it. Michael Bormann from Silent Force! That made the song even cooler! 9.5
