Breaking the walrus, breaking the walrus

[ariich]

Also I realise that Mr. Crabs and the Walrus sounds like a novelty ventriloquism act.

Are we having a Hangman?? Or going right to Impressions? I have mine ready!

Man I just said earlier both are happening but I am kind of working right now hold on 

But actually yeah we'll skip right to impressions this time tbh cause why not

[The Walrus]

Omfg I finished an album on Spotify right as I posted that last message and I swear to god Judas Priest started playing. WTF

No, not good for me! It was You've Got Another Thing Coming so it wasn't all terrible, I stopped it before the bad singer came in.

You're now Mike Wazowski

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Honestly, I don't know how you can like power metal and not at least like Painkiller. It's pretty much pure proto power metal.

[Crow]

give me the D

[Stadler]

That's what she said.

[Crow]

congrats, you got the joke!

Well, but honestly that's like asking how I can like Toto but not like The Beatles. Just 'cause they came earlier doesn't mean I gotta like 'em. IMO Judas Priest has awful lyrics and their image has never been appealing to me, their whole 'leather and metal' schtick is cornier than dragons and magic to me, honestly. And they have thin, forgettable riffs and a terrible singer. One of my least favorite metal bands ever, one of the only few I actively dislike.

Also I rag on so much power metal I have friends who are convinced I'm a prog metal snob which is even funnier because I bag on prog metal all the time. Good power metal is really fucking good, but the vast majority of it is terrible and even worse than 80s hair metal.

I'll have first impressions up probably this afternoon. I've been slammed with work this morning

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I don't care for the Beatles either, so we agree on that. Kinda questioning my decision to send you a bunch of Judas Priest songs now though.

[Crow]

i like the beatles but i grew up on them so
them and elvis and the beach boys and steve miller band, all bands my parents had compilations from and i listened to a lot.
pretty clear how i got into black metal from that, i'd assume

A couple people sent me Judas Priest songs in a past roulette despite me issuing a dire warning against doing so. They scored miserably, as predicted, the worst scores of the roulette if I remember correctly.

The Beatles have lots of good tunes. They also have a bunch of crap

[ariich]

I turned off that "automatically play recommended songs after your playlist finishes" feature as soon as I noticed they'd added, because it's the actual worst.

[Buddyhunter1]

There was a good month or so where that feature gave me nothing but Junius for some reason.

[Crow]

give me the T

bold of you to not use the DTF Apollo theme, the only good DTF theme

[Stadler]

I LIKE Judas Priest (first concert ever!) but I understand the criticisms.  There is as much in the catalogue I don't like as that which I do.   I recognize that it's an odd position for an Iron Maiden or Kiss fan to take, but I just find Priest so... cartoon-y and, honestly, a little fake.   I think Priest wanted their cake and to eat it too; they wanted the metal cred of Maiden, and the commercial success of a Rainbow or Kiss, and so started walking the line.  For all the pomp of Maiden, they never really adopted the sort of "mettle" (because that's how Rob pronounces it) approach.  The music was what it was, and if they wanted to do a 15 minute epic, or a ballad, they did.  I think Priest was more calculating in that way. 

It bugged me a - A LOT - that Priest always talked about "their fans", but Maiden and Kiss always seemed, in their own way, more respectful of their fans.  Sure, Kiss fleeced their catalogue like pros, but there isn't a major band that is as accessible as Kiss, and Maiden is as good as any band at being responsible to their catalogue and giving their fans an opportunity to see all facets of the band, warts and all.   

It also bugged me - A LOT - that Maiden and even Kiss would put out live stuff and it was either a complete show or they told you where the material came from.  There are few full shows from Priest, and even the stuff that was so obvious was passed off as "a live track from one of our many world tours over the years".  I thought that was cheesy.

Chad you sly devil. Good Choice.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Damn, now I can't use Megalovania when I inevitably send a bunch of Homestuck music.

[Buddyhunter1]

You can still use the male pregnancy song that he retrofitted for the new Pokemon game.

...or so I've heard, anyways.

[TAC]

Backstreetpressions!

[Evermind]

The wide awake one? I mean I would guess Backstreet Boys but you know

[King Postwhore]

LOLOL  I have no clue which one is mine. 

[The Walrus]

Damn, now I can't use Megalovania when I inevitably send a bunch of Homestuck music.

The TAC rule, as it's known, also in effect in ariich's roulette, applies to mine as well, just in case you still want to use it. You just have to inform me that you want to use Toby Fox or Megalovania specifically in a future round, before round 3's results, but if you do, you have to use it when the time comes. Your choice, you can gamble and reserve it before you see how it does, or you can sit it out 

[Buddyhunter1]

The earlier versions of Megalovania aren't as good though

[Stadler]

Chad you sly devil. Good Choice.

I was thinking the same thing. 

Chad, see if you can find the episode of Later... with Jools Holland where DD do the live version of "Wild Boys".  WOW.   I think it slays, and it's a fine example of how you don't have to play "metal" to be "heavy" - or at least "powerful".   

[The Walrus]

Omg Tim knocking it out of the park with impressions again. Backstreet themed, one that's literally no text just a picture of the tour poster, and the "THIS SHIT IS TIGHT" one made me bust up laughing
