The TAC Back To School Roulette V.7 Schools Out!!!

[King Postwhore]

I never would have got that but I'm happy about it.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

And no, you cannot use a band once they've been used.

Figured.  In your next roulette I might have to try a 90s Nevermore song, those don't have the super-low tunings the 00s ones do like rom's.  Though I'm unsure about how you'll react to Warrel's voice.

You'd be better off sending Sanctuary.

I think you said at some point that you saw them live.  His vocals are too screechy in that era for regular listening for me though. 

[TAC]

Pretty sure mine is either #4 or #14

Pretty sure it's neither..

I never would have got that but I'm happy about it.

Don't get too excited about it. It's only 5 seconds of the song.

How about 16?

No, but I suppose it fits your song as well.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Pretty sure mine is either #4 or #14

Pretty sure it's neither..

Then it's 2 

[King Postwhore]

Oh I figured with you comment about my reaction to Chad's song.

I did..

Megadeth
Warlock
Sanctuary
April 20, 1988

Honestly, I didn't get the album but I played them on my show a few times.

Then it's 2 

Then it's not.

I guess yours is kind of vague, but it does contain a tidbit that I thought would jump out at you.

First Listen Impressions


1. Lethean- Vanden Plas This song would’ve been better if the singer took the clothespin off his nose.

2. Stadler-Our Lady Peace I hate this guy’s voice lol.

3. Faizoff-Volbeat I really like the pounding driving rhythm of this.

4. This song smokes, and the vocals are..acquired.

5. One listen and I have no clue how I feel about it. Reminds me a little of Michael Monroe though.

6. One of the first bands I tried with harsh vocals…always liked their music.

7. This is groovy as shit. I dig it.

8. Litho-Scariot This is riffy…and chunky…and tasty metal.

9. Puppies-Septicflesh Hey this isn’t….er..yeah it is. Great drumming though.

10. Wow, that’s a smoking intro. This whole song hits a sweet spot.

11. Jamesman-Katatonia So, I’ve been sent this band before in roulettes, and yup, this is them.

12. Romdrums-Nevermore A tad low tuned for my liking. This song would be much better if played a step or two higher.

13. This has kind of a haunting vibe. Reminds me in parts of modern era Uriah Heep.

14. Well, this is fucking heavy lol

15. Kingshmegland-Queens Of The Stone Age My guess is that this song would come across much better if played live in a club…what..is that 
Michael Shenker cameo?

16. Nick-Klimt 1918-Snow Of '85I thought this was a bit iffy, but even on this first listen, it continued to build.

17. There’s a lot going on here to try and make a first impression with.

18. Glasser-Sacred Oath Old school band I wasn’t familiar with, and the vocals were cleaner than I expected.

19. Reaper-Tool WTF? Dream Theater is banned! This song needs a melody infusion.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Hah, ok, #14 might be Septicflesh. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

So it's could be 9 or 17, with a slight possibility of 16.

[ReaperKK]

19. Reaper-Tool WTF? Dream Theater is banned! This song needs a melody infusion.

Haha, yes, DT totally ripped off that intro on "Home". 

Despite being a massive DT and Tool fan I never made that connection until I listened to the commentary on Metropolis 2000

It's 9!

Despite being a massive DT and Tool fan I never made that connection until I listened to the commentary on Metropolis 2000

When I was just starting to get into DT it was when SFAM was new, so I heard it pointed out all the time, but I hadn't yet heard Tool, so it was already in my mind to look for when I did get into them a year or two later.

How have I never noticed this before! It's so obvious. DT really did rip off 46&2

It's the Back To School Roulette.

Lessons everywhere!

2 has to be Andy Kuntz/Vanden Plas.

And Kade, you remember VP had 2 albums in a row where every song had a number in it?

[TAC]

Well, it's true, but that's not the impression I gave them



Dammit, I thought this was the most obvious one!!!

[nick_z]

I love Vanden Plas, but it's likely to be #1...?

Am I #16?

[TAC]

I love Vanden Plas, but it's likely to be #1...?

Am I #16?

Correct on both.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Andy's is a little nasal, but not nearly as much as Raine's to me. 

[TAC]

Who is Raine?

[wolfking]

2 has to be Andy Kuntz/Vanden Plas.

I thought that but I though if Tim wasn't going to allow a song with Part 1 in it he surely wouldn't allow those 2 full albums........surely........

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Who is Raine?

Lead vocalist of Our Lady Peace. 

[King Postwhore]

Who is Raine?

Lead vocalist of Our Lady Peace.

Saw them 3 times live. One time that Raine said it was the most bizarre show he every played.

[wolfking]

6 or 10?

Mmmmh...they both are, but I think Andy Kuntz takes the cake  (and, to be clear, this is from someone that actually enjoys his singing!)

[TAC]

Who is Raine?

Lead vocalist of Our Lady Peace.

He blows too. get it...nasally..blows?

6 or 10?

Huh..I kind of thought you'd pick yours right off. Playing humble?

[TAC]

No, there's nasally, and that's Vanden Plas, and then there's gurgling drooly gobbley.

[nick_z]

Correct on both.

Not the greatest first impression, but hopefully it kept building and growing 

[lonestar]

All the shit ones are taken, so I'm good... 

[wolfking]

err.......7?

But come on, those VP songs are pretty much the same thing, for example;

Vision 3hree - Godmaker

That;s the same fucking thing as a song with 'Part 1 or 2' in the title!? 

[wolfking]

All the shit ones are taken, so I'm good...
