Hollow Years

Matter (a toss against Knife really)
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

I assume it's going to be the two songs that win these semi-finals will guarantee their place in the tournament, while the two losing songs will play the 3rd-place match to determine the 3rd qualifier.

That's right. Probably the only tournament where there's more on the line in the 3rd place match than the Championship Match.

Hollow Years and OAMOT.

If I could have picked three songs from the original list, it would've been HY, OAMOT and The Looking Glass (with Along for the Ride in fourth).

Very difficult this round - would've been MUCH easier if these pairs of songs would've been squaring off differently. I much prefer RtK and OaMoT over HY and TBoT. That said, given the options, I went with TBoT and RtK.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

The Best of Times
Only a Matter of Time
People figured out that the white thing that comes out of cows' titties could be drunk, and the relation between sweet desires and women's bellies growing up for 9 months. It can't be THAT hard to figure out how a trumpet works.”
