ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[King Postwhore]

What the hell.... re-watching Secret Santa vids to get a still-capture?  I mean, I know I've got a lot of time on my hands, but that's next level, man.

I'm next level, what can I say.



(and no, I didn't watch it, it's the still at the beginning of the video)

Imagine his family seeing Tim freeze this?

"Dad is going insane.  Did you hear his evil laugh?"

[Crow]

i thought i PMed you this but (MP3) is not part of the song title lol
that's just spotify having an error

[TAC]

Wait...you mean somebody actually sent Winger?

[Crow]

Puppies: Drudkh

4: The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist

also having these in the same round is kinda funny

[wolfking]

I can hear Kade groaning all the way from Australia looking at that gif.

I haven't stopped yet either.

yeah I'd just remembered that after posting, so corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Wait...you mean somebody actually sent Winger?

Yep I literally just swapped your submission for rom's.

But of course Chad still doesn't know who the real mastermind was behind all this.

[wolfking]

2 lots of Winger submissions?! 

[ariich]

2 lots of Winger submissions?! 

I know right? One Winger, one Kip solo.

EDIT: And as far as I know I'd never heard a single song from either before this roulette.

[HOF]

2 lots of Winger submissions?! 

This is the second time someone else and I have had a Winger submission in the same round of a roulette. This truly is the Winger Theater Forums!

[ariich]

Alright my dudes, for the last time this roulette, it's time for some first impressions.

Round 6 first impressions

Epic as hell. [wolfking – Stortregn]
This was a lot of fun. [lonestar – Gacharic Spin]
Not sure what all the fuss is about. [romdrums – Winger]
Seems like a nice mix of influences here. [Nekov – Iluvatar]
These songs are cool in slightly different ways. [Stadler – Paul McCartney/Wings]
I like weird music, but I suspect this will be too weird. [Cyril – The Paper Chase]
Really cool mix of groove and a bit of experimentation. [Elite – Vulfpeck]
Some of this was gorgeous, some was quite surprising. [Sacul – Sufjan Stevens]
Grand and immersive, might be your best of this roulette. [Puppies – Drudkh]
A couple of very enjoyable tunes, but the rest did little for me. [jingle – Mötley Crüe]
Moody and emotive - I definitely like it, but do I like it enough? [Evermind – Antimatter]
Sounded intriguing and kind of bleak, not sure what to think yet. [Buddy – Greet Death]
The music was pretty good, and the vocals added a nice warmth. [HOF – Kip Winger]
Making good use of being able to send music from this millennium. [TAC – Burial In The Sky]
A little middle of the road probably, but salvaged by one great tune. [king – Paul Simon]
The style isn’t anything special really, but the execution is really nice. [Kwyjibo – All About Eve]
This was excellent - quirky, intense and with some great riffs and hooks. [Ruba – Animal Alpha]
Incredibly similar sound to another band I quite like, if a little more serious. [Luke – Propagandhi]

[wolfking]

Wouldn't know where to start.  Could be literally half of those for Stortregn.

[King Postwhore]

Yep.

The other guesses so far were not correct.

Very possible. I think the reaction to Gacharic is an extreme one no matter the direction. I'll guess the above and these...

Epic as hell.

[romdrums]

Wait...you mean somebody actually sent Winger?

And this is exactly the reaction I was hoping for!

Rainbow In The Rose actually won..er..had the least worst score.. in The Winger Round in my first roulette.

[wolfking]

Rainbow in the Rose is a great song.  I'm not a big fan of those 5 tracks though besides that one.  Surrender is alright I guess.

I've always preferred Pull onwards.  That's a great album but the last two also are fantastic. 

[HOF]

Yep, the first two Winger albums are fun in their own way with some great moments here and there, but Pull was on another level altogether. Kip’s solo stuff kind of followed that direction and built on it. I’m actually listening to IV now for the first time in a while. Kip always says that album is where he tried to merge his classical composition with rock and it just went over the fans heads, so now he kind of sticks to straight rock with Winger. I don’t think I really got all of IV either, but listening to it now I can definitely envision some of the more complex songs on it as classical compositions. Have always felt there was a strong King Crimson influence on it as well.

[King Postwhore]

IV is an amazing album.

I struggled with IV.  It's very spotty, but a few really good songs.  Clover is easily a Winger fav.  I just love the more straight up direction they took for the last 2.  Loved the more metal Karma too a lot when it came out.

[wolfking]

IV is an amazing album.

I might need a revisit then.

[TAC]

But it has Stairway To Heaven!

[King Postwhore]

IV is an amazing album.

I might need a revisit then.

I remember thinking we waited this long for an album this great? 

[TAC]

What about Jukebox Hero?

[TAC]

IV is an amazing album.

WTF are you talking about?
