Ha! They'd play an E to D to C to D to E progression over and over, really fast. Love me some Paul Dianno era Maiden, though!

The question for Nur Ein is always : What would Frankie Big Face do? I'm sure he'll redefine metal for us all.

I think this is Oltalgia's to lose.

THey would do a song about the devil.

But I did that last week.

WWKD?

If you go "Rock and Roll All Nite", fine.
If you go "Detroit Rock City", hell yeah.
If you go "I Was Made For Lovin' You", consider your song DQ'd.
If you go "Beth", you should be ashamed of yourself.

PS- C-Ray, you're an Aussie. AC/DC.

Awwwww.....flattery is always welcome here. I mean it doesn't say make a metal genre song, it just says "metal." So there better be some fucking flexibility here.

Not with the title or challenge, but statistically I'm fucked this round.
I desperately need to find some way of turning around this inexorable doom.

Now where did I put that box of riffs?
I'd look somewhere in 2009, based on your current output :)

The title is brilliant - it's a competition - wheat from the chaff time, kids.

Wait 'til you see what we have for round 5. "Chris Martin Keeps Sending Me Pictures Of His Peen." Non-Optional Challenge:"Sexually arouse a judge of your choice".

There are so many sub-genres of metal that I think this is going to be a crazy round full of unexpected outcomes.
"that's post-grunge!" "no, it's nu-metal!"
"that's electronica!" "no, it's industrial metal!"
"that's folk music!" "no, it's folk metal!"

Basically, whoever uses the least guitars will probably squeak out a win with all the confusion and diversion tactics.
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

I sure hope lawyer-metal doesn't prevail.
We used to yell "LCD" ( lowest common denominator) at Idiot Flesh shows, they would divert into Flying High Again or my favorite : the monotone chorus of Metal Gods.
This should be about rock power in my metal opinion.

Written and recorded. I'm away for the weekend, but I've got 2 hours over the next two evenings to add some more metal and tweak anything that bothers me.

I'm well aware that I scraped by on the last one and for the second half I'm in better shape to get to business.

This is, of course, the correct interpretation. However, the other stuff sounds like fun. I think.

So, I have bronze wound steel strings on my guitar.

Does that count?

Paco is so silly, thinking the indefinite article was definite.
