okay I'm going with the combo 0-8

High scores this round might be scarce - I mean, how can something be loved, but offensive.

Unless it's Crayon names:

I can see my song being musically good, but politically offensive.

That being said, I'm probably getting 3-3.

Alright gang, results are in. We're doing this in couples, like a wrestling card. Why? I'm a goofy booker and for this roulette I'm more interested in cross trash talking than suspense. It's totally random, we add points and standings up at the end.

Let's begin pitting the Figure Four Lock versus the Sharpshooter, bleached hair versus Kerry King goggles:


TAC: Armored Saints – Up Yours  10.5

The most underrated heavy metal vocalist ever

Musical Value: 7.5 Solid balls-to-the-wall honest banger, on Reload's editor room floor at its worst, as main single from Countdown to Extinction at its best. Some Foo symptoms here and there, but a lot of groovy stops-and-go's and a pretty hung solo. Plus, nature vs nurture: what if Bruce Dickinson grew up as a Bronx street hustler oblivious to the sophistications of limey culture? You get John Bush.

Offensive Value: 3 I've been invited to make a bowling ball of my sweet arse countless times, but it's the first time I've been asked to “sit and rotate”.


jingle: Ayreon – Memories / Love 13

One more vocal line and my nose starts to bleed

Musical Value: 8 I've said this before, Ayreon is a rock music thief, BUT, when executed with such love, competence and passion, theft becomes an art. Mandolin strumming, vintage moogage, Big james, musical theater complexities. And ¾ meter; have I ever mentioned everything works better in ¾? I can't foppishly escape it anymore and I'm bound for a huge binge. I'm sold.

Offensive Value: 5 Chad? Sit and rotate. And change your Bret Hart into Jesse Ventura. You know why.


Coming up: Bulldog vs Camel

Wait, Up Yours is 7.5 in musical department? :lol

Also, what's so offensive about Memories / Love? I'm really curious, as I love both songs.

I haven't looked at the scores yet, so I'm going with

7-1, or using the Jingle Scale, "Boner Pill Blue" and "Your Parents Divorce Was Your Fault Peach"

Clearly you haven't read his Scenes From My Memory thread and his exploits of Girlfriend #1. It's offensive for sure.

Stimulating memories of wife / marriage number #1 is full-on offensive.  At least, that was my goal.

And regarding (Indian) Orange... I lived in a community of >50% southeast Asians up until a year ago.  Not to mention North Americans used to refer to Indeginous/Native Peoples as such for like ever ... the 'feather-not-dot' line was a very common (if not fairly racist) term - only used behind closed doors in small groups.

ariich: Strapping Young Lad – Fucker 9

It makes me want to punch walls

Musical Value: 6 There's a rule for pornstars, basketball players, and songs: as long as you possess at least one elite skill, you're ok. This one has one good violent riff, and to be honest I kinda dig the ridicolous “yeah yeah yeah's”. The rest runs the gamut from “acceptably violent” to “I need a drink or I start torturing the house cats”, but still we have that one elite skill. It's ok, hence it's a six.

Offensive Value: 3 It should have been a mere 1, but 456 instances of fucker instead of focker must be slightly frowned upon.



Podaar: Alice in Chains – God Smack 10

I've been skipping this track for 30 years

Musical Value: 6 Fun fact: I bought this vynil the same day I bought I&W. Funnier fact: I always skipped this track due to something deeply disturbing in the riff. My loss, because the chorus is REALLY good, despite Layne switching between univibe abuse and George Harrison impressions. Plus, Jerry Cantrell is the contemporary wah master. One elite skill once again.

Offensive Value: 4 Unlike Chad, I know for a fact the allusion to my former personal demons is involuntary, even though you're a Scenes regular. Or you're a reeeeeeaaaally sneaky camel focker.



Coming up: snake versus scorpion

Whatever you do, Indiscipline, make sure all scores maximize the chances of Podaar weighing in with comedy gold like this (I'm being serious).

I think I have to agree with TAC here. I can see no reason anyone would want to watch that or why they would think it's funny. I mean, these are grown men, for chrissakes.  I've seen more mature and more clever bits on Sesame Street. SMH





























Oh, who am I trying to kid. Did you see this bit flash by?

Wtf happened to the rest of the results?

Time zones, horny bored wife, shoveling snow on focking spring ...

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENED!


Train: Moron Police – T-Bag Your Grandma 11

I would pay good money to have Billy Milano sing this

Musical Value: 6 What can I say? I like these silly pimply motorcycle crashers, especially when the riffage is good – it morphs into Ska-Motorbreath for at least 8 bars – and the upbeat hook is wicked catchy. Too bad it's sung by a dude picked on the street outside the studio, lacking both vocal qualities and punk spunk. Wasn't Billy available?

Offensive Value: 5 Leave me granma alone at tea time.


Puppies: Manticora – Through the Eyes of the Killer 11

Rythm section roid rage

Musical Value: 8 Well, Sting, that was a focking big bat you just showed. Train of Thought riffing (and In the Name of God melody chorus thieving) plus Helloween soloing plus a minotaur on drums and suddenly there's hope for serious metal in these troubled times. Perfectly discrete use of hobgoblin vocals when necessary.

Offensive Value: 3 Essentially, a long variation of “Bring out the gimp”



Coming up: Sacul vs Elite, the waiting game.
