On Beyond the Pale.  And Kip's brother Paul was an engineer on Squeeze.  Good lord, how deep is this rabbit hole of Kevin Bacon?  TAC is beside himself with all this Winger and affiliates talk!  Luke better save us all from the conniption with some results before this turns into the official thread for them. 

TAC

Luke, how about an impression update before these guys go all Winger here.

TAC

Not sure Bosk would approve of that around here. Wolfking..would definitely approve.

Is there a story behind his avatar?  It seems like a troll move, but maybe there's more to it.

Wolfking loves himself some Kip, and the lightning was added after his accident.

Hey-o, just catching up. Weird night, my wife and I used paint stripper to try stripping all the paint off our stairs (yes,this is how we now spend a kid free evening) and the fumes set off our carbon monoxide detector. My wife panicked, we called 111 and they advised we go to hospital for a blood test.

Well we were in and out quicker than expected, and we were all clear, but it ended up wiping out part of our night and we got home really late.

So yea, apologies for getting back to the Winger thread later than planned. Here's the updated First Impressions...



You know what, these vocals are really  refreshing.

TAC: Well, this is straight up [redacted genre] which reminds me of [redacted artist]. Well they released a great album last year so im loving more than ever at the momeng.

Wolfking: Solid and reliable, which will likely be reflected in the score.

Evermind: Music from this country just has something special about it.

Kingshmegland: I think this sound may be too dated for me.

LithoJazzoSphere: You've potentially gained some sneaky guest vocalist points here. Not sure if that was intentional or not?

Ariich: You probably should've sent like this earlier.

Covers a few different styles I enjoy. Also possible influence on some bands I quite like.


There's only two left but I think it's pretty obvious which one belongs to Buddyhunter1 and which to Nick. Better get my ass moving with results now!

Now that it's confirmed, it didn't have anything to do with the initial selection of Jeff, but as I tested some different combinations and orders of songs, once I double-checked your list and last.fm, it ensured that I kept the Ihsahn track as "saving the best for last", hoping you'd like it even more than I do.

I'm the last one. :lol

Wolfking loves himself some Kip, and the lightning was added after his accident.

From memory after the whole thing with Tim and Winger years ago, correct me if I'm wrong but bosk I think changed all of our avatars to a picture of the band to troll Tim.  Now, I've always liked the band and Kip is one cool good looking guy, that was about it, but the joke just grew about a man crush and I always play on it. 

Now, everyone else changed their avatar back but myself and Jon (Big Hath) just decided to keep it and roll with it.  After my accident and the thread I made about it, the jokes started to come and I was presented with this avatar by.......was it Joe, or Kev?  Anyway, so this incarnation of the avatar could indeed be considered a troll, but it was all originally a troll on Tim.  :lol

He did that during the infamous Winger Round in my first roulette. The reactions were priceless.  :lol

So Luke's first impression of everything except king's is at least mildly positive, which means king is coming in at the last moment with the surprise victory.

Sorry guys, been kinda out of action the last few days, as I've been having bad stomach cramps. I'll be taking the day off work tomorrow and trying to get in to see my doctor, so my plan is to try and smash out a load of writeups if I'm not feeling too uncomfortable.

OK, I can only apologise for how behind I am with this final round, and the lack of updates.

I've put in the hours this evening and drafted up the writeups for everything. This round feels like a bitch to try and score to be honest. Don't expect results in the next 24 hours or anything, but we are getting closer!

It's okay, results have taken so long I've already made it to the acceptance stage of grief. :biggrin:

As long as he beats 425 I think I can live with it.   :police:   As to what the results are, I don't know if I'll be able to live with those.   ;D

The one thing that I am upset about is that I discovered a new band like one week after sending for the final round that would have been perfect for it. :lol

It's damn fucking impressive that this thing started on the 1st of September 2021!

twosuitsluke

By impressive I assume you mean infuriating.

I don't know what the record for the longest running roulette (that reaches completion) is but it was no intention of mine to try to beat it. I just really such at hosting roulettes  :loser:

I know we are inundated with roulettes at the moment but remember, when I started this it was the only one running,and the first in some time.

Also it's important to remember that apart from a bit of a delay for this final round, the general pace was never slow. There was just a full year hiatus.
