Jamesman Roulette 3.0 - Post-roulette: And now I go exploring...

[twosuitsluke]

Can't believe I actually wasn't guessed.  I suppose it's clear no one read my writeups.   

90% of the time, people only read the writeup for their own submission.

I 100% do this 100% of the time.

Last day of winter break, so let's do this

Round 8 first impressions

1   A band I have seen live, with some of the most insane mosh pits. They're still writing cool songs like this.
2   A very slow builder, does that beautiful synth solo in the middle make up for it?
Jason Richardson – Sparrow   jingle.boy   Absolutely brutal sounds.
4   Cool textures and back and forth with the vocals, heavy stuff too.
5   How did a short amount of time accomplish so much?
6   Knowing a few of their songs, this has some of that same feel, lighter than I would think, but some old school feel.
7   Reminds me of the days in high school listening to metalcore bands with my friends.
Once Human - Only in Death   vmads   Rippingly brutal, so much energy.
9   Sounds like a Neal Morse song.
Psychonaut – Violate Consensus Reality   Litho   That build-up to the growls, yeah that's good.
11   There is quite a story here. I dig it.
12   This lady has a nice, airy voice.
13   This lady sounds like she has matured.
Bloodywood – Machi Bhasad   lonestar   This sounds absolutely devastating.
15   You almost made me shit my pants.

A few of this could apply to Jason Richardson/Sparrow, but I'll go with 8

Alternatively, 7 or 15

None of those!

[jingle.boy]

14 is the only other one I can see fitting.  Or 11?

[Jamesman42]

Also no

[lonestar]

8

[Jamesman42]

8

No but I can see why you chose it.

There was more brutal stuff than normal this round, so these are gonna be harder than normal.

[lonestar]

3 or 14

4

[Jamesman42]

3 or 14

14

4

Try again

[jingle.boy]

Also no

Ok, so it's an instrumental - scratch all the vocal comments
It sure as shit doesn't remind you of Neal Morse
I doubt you've seen this guy live before
It ain't old school
I wouldn't consider 5 minutes "short"

The only possible one left is 3.  If it ain't that, I give up.

Also, where's that playlist?

[Jamesman42]

It is 3.

Also, it's always "where's the playlist" and not "how's the playlist"

Well, I think the impressions answered the "How's the playlist" question.  But point taken.

[Jamesman42]

I was just playing

[Lonk]

Am I passing you some toilet paper for #15?

I mean it could be 10, but I'm not sure I would call that a build up. And it could be 8 but the energy parts are in small burst.

It is 8, but sometimes my first impressions are bad takes

[LithoJazzoSphere]

#10?

[Jamesman42]

#10?

Yes

Posting because it's a new page for me.

I didn't even notice Jason Richardson got sent...his work is fucking god tier stuff.

[faizoff]

1 or 4?

Years ago I went to see Intervals, and he was opening. I had no clue who he was, but man...did he put on a fucking clinic that had by jaw on the ground for weeks to come. Such an impressive guitarist. He joined Intervals for their encore, and seeing him with the two amazing guitarists for Intervals shredding was something to behold.

[romdrums]

5 or 11.

Hmm, when was this show?  Aaron Marshall is incredible, but I'm wondering who the second guitarist was at the time.

It would've been about a year or two after A Voice Within. Jason was playing with just Luke Holland on drums and backing tracks. I know he does shows solo now (at least his last tour with Babymetal was solo)

I dont know if you know, but he joined All That Remains after their former guitarist passed (RIP Oli). All That Remains is finally writing some new materials with him and I can't wait to hear what he does 

[romdrums]

15 then?

[Jamesman42]

15 then?

No, one more guess
