I had enough of that in the first 10 rounds.

Most of us have - the guy making the moves is called Bonus Point and he is managed by some guy called JJ. ;D

Splent, what instrument does your father play? If you don't mind me asking, how old is he?

Little known fact:

Splents mother is Tawny Kitaen



Update coming soon!!!

jjrock88

Alright.  Overtime results:


Brent:

Letter7- Mystery:  Catchy, melodic and heavy.  The triple threat of jjrock.  Fantastic song and one of my favorites of the roulette. 5

Stormwitch- Welcome to Bedlam:  I am familiar with Ravonlord from Stormwitch, but haven't heard much more from them.  This is another of Brents old school metal, which suits me fine!  Similar to Lizzy Borden. 4.5

Animal- Eye of the Storm:  Take WASP and turn it up a notch.  And no wonder, its Randy Piper from WASP and this song just kicks all kinds of ass. 5

Knight Fury- The Message:  An all star lineup of rockers and this tune is just pedal to the metal.  I think I'm catching on that Brent knows what songs to send in roulettes! 4.5

Striker- All the Way:  A newer Canadian band that plays NWOBHM.  I can't believe that I haven't heard of these guys.  But this is a perfect example of a newer metal band playing old school metal at its best.  Great choice! 5

Twisted Tower Dire- The Reflecting Pool:  And just for Brent to top things off, a longer metal song with some progressive touches.  Very cool song and like all of Brents songs, I enjoyed this one.  4.5

28.5/30


Splent:


Angra-Deus le Volt and Spread Your Fire:  Angra will fall into the category with Hammerfall, Stratovarious, and Edguy.  Like them, but have never felt the need to look into them beyond some hits. 4

Chimp Scanner- Dark Age of Technology:  This is great stuff.  I've been getting into instrumentals the last few years and this is just a kick ass shred fest.  4.5

Living Colour- Cult of Personality:  This is the only song from Living Colour that I know of.  But when I hear it daily on the radio, I always enjoy it.  CM Punk is the first thing that comes to mind.  4

Sonata Arctica- Still Loving You:  Great Scorpions cover!  This is a cover done right.  Not a clone, but they put their own spin on it.  Good stuff!  4

John Petrucci- Glasgow Kiss:  I need to check out John's solo stuff more.  This is absolutely awesome and right up there with the shredders from the Shrapnel albums. 5

Queen- I Want it All:  I'm only familiar with the radio hits of Queen, so I can't say I've ever heard this one before.  But I really enjoyed it, and actually liked it more than alot of their big hits.  4

25.5/30


@Brent- Congrats dude!!  I think you were probably the favorite going into this thing and you didn't disappoint.  Some classic old school metal songs at their best!  I'm sure you didn't think it would come neck and neck finish with Splent though.  Congrats once again!

@Splent- Fantastic effort Spencer!  You almost pulled this thing off and even made it closer then I thought in Overtime.  Honor having you!  However, ironically, it was a Japanese bonus song that caused you to lose.

Once again, thanks for everyone who played and followed!!

Sir GuitarCozmo

Brent clearly has the biggest house.

On the biggest hill.

On the biggest side of town.

Evermind

Yeah, I was sure Brent had this in the bag. Good job.

Sucks for splent, but hey, you can't always do the Japanese-bonus-point thing to secure you victory.
Quote from: Train of Naught on May 28, 2020, 10:57:25 PMThis first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

jingle.boy

Wow... that was a good showing by Splent.  Good choices.

Congrats to another win by Brent.  He's got this roulette thing licked.

Most of your Japanese bonus songs were not radio hits out here but this one was  :)

What were your thoughts on my (bonus) instrumental Jay?

Top post of the roulette. It might be a little late, but 2 Japanese bonus points!!

And I really enjoyed that instrumental bonus song. Right up my alley as well, would have gotten you a 4.5 or a 5

Lowdz

Well done Brent. Some stuff there for me to check out. I had Striker lined up all the way through, just kept sending somehting else.
