hahaha you're awesome V.

a few of those might actually get atleast a review from a panel of judges. (maybe one or two, disturbed possibly. I don't like them, but I don't hate them)

Who wants to be a judge? I need help making sure only real bands get in this one.

note: LED ZEPPELIN WILL NOT BE IN THE TOURNAMENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE THINKS

I can be a judge, I didn't see much point in listing any bands that no one on hear would have heard of, and I still don't so I won't. Except for 1.

Ricaine.

k, you're a judge.

I thought good bands where gonna be in this?

name some bands

Well just off the top of my head.


Lamb of God
Chimaira
Hatebreed
Static - X
Strapping Young Lad

well hello thar, johnny headbanger

I used to like hatebreed a lot, they're in.

Chimaira - are you kidding me? they suck now. meh, I'll leave it up to a judge.

Lamb of GOd - sure.

Statix X - fuck no

Strapping Young Lad - sure.

out of all those bands, it's funny that SYL is the only one that doesn't sound exactly like the others... definitely my favorite out of the 5.

Vote for:

-Black Sabbath
-Kyuss
-The Cult
-The Damned
-New York Dolls
-Alice Cooper group
-AC/DC
-Thin Lizzy

Can I be a judge?

Some more...

Blink 182
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
System of a Down
Garbage
Megadeth
Cradle of Filth
Carcass
Slayer
Dark Lotus
Zug Izland
Sum 41

Iggy Pop and the Stooges

The Doors

Gary Numan (please?)

Alice In Chains

Nine Inch Nails

The Prodigy

The Rolling Stones

Pink Floyd

Rammstein? ( Hey I like them. )

That's all I can think of now.

As a judge I'm going to rule out Blink 182 and Sum41 right now...

Reason?

As a Judge, you cannot be biased on your own personal opinions alone, but discuss it with the rest of the Judges in the panel.

Haha that is completely killer! I wish that was the case with magazines and TV shows too :D

all in for sure.

Soon as there are more judges I will confer, but obviously a judge is going to give some personal opinion. But if you must know, they are blatant rubbish rip off of a great sub genre of punk, which many more bands are more worthy of being in the tournament.

For one...

Frenzal Rhomb!

Seems like a fair request.

Did someone nominate Iggy and the Stooges?

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds?

The Sonics?

"Raises hand"

all already included in the short list I have so far. keep nominating! :cool:

I really hate ska, but I blame my old roommate who was obsessed with bad ska bands . I'll trust you that goldfinger is a good band, because you have good taste.

but... because of the bad taste ska music left in my mouth, I'm limiting the ska in the tournament to FIVE bands. Luckily there are 5 ska bands that I enjoy quite a bit.

Bad Manners
The English Beat
The Selecter
The Specials
Madness

Goldfinger will have to win in a qualifying round against The Selecter.

Just a few quick noms, I could list good bands all day though.

Jesus Lizard
Sublime
Bob Marley and The Wailers







Oh, and you know what _V_... I like Korn, Especially their older stuff but the unplugged show they did on MTV was awesome and Jon can play the bagpipes better than any other metal guy I know.

they're in.

........

I thought you were limiting the scar bands?

Then you let Sublime through... :confused:

true.

I guess I could put them against The English Beat in a qualifier.

It must be done.

The Church
E.N
Swans
Misfits
The Dirty Three
Slint
Shellac
Guided by Voices
Trans Am

Sublime wasn't just a ska band and you would only think that if you've heard a couple of their songs. Unlike regular "ska" bands Sublime fused hip hop, reggae, punk, and rock and has an extremely diverse catalog of songs. From their acoustic album to their dub style instrumentals, Sublime's a completely different ballgame.

But they do involve ska.

So fucking what? Elvis involved country but I wouldn't call him a country musician. Yes, Sublime may have started out doing more ska than other things I was just pointing out that they had a lot more depth. I don't care if they're just in the qualifier or not in the tournament at all, you can argue with me all you want, which is all you seem to do. I hope you're raped, killed, and disposed of in a back alley dumpster... preferably one with Sublime graffiti on it. :)

:eek: How am I arguing?

If nominations are still open, how about

Apocalyptica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu9uxGP5nL0

Enter Shikari: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4MiC67seUY

Ha! Fair enough.

I personally think of them more like a ska influenced punk band than a full on ska band (like the Bosstones or something). That's cool though, in or out. Either way, I don't really care. It's your tourney. ;)

They do have a bit of skunk to them, nothing like Op Ivy but I can hear it.






What about RHCP Murder?

Die Haut
Neu
Kratwerk
Ride
My Bloody Valentine
Stereolab
P.I.L
X.T.C
Minor Threat
The Beasts of Bourbon
