[Draft Dodger]

interesting, the Beasties were the only 2nd place vote off that hasn't been voted off yet.

[The Afoci]

REMOVE THE DEF LEPPARD!!!!

[WSUCougar]

Def Leppard has had a varied career, but they've put out some very good music. Let's take down The Beasties first!

After that, I'll be happy with eitehr The Eagles or Led Zep.

[Kodos]

I have joined the anti-Beastie coalition. Down with them!

[3ric]

Down with the Beastie Boys! :D

[McSweeny]

down with the leppard!

[heybrad]

Keep the Def Leppard votes coming.

[Coffee Warlord]

/lends his support to the....

anti Beastie Boy coalition!

Up with Zeppelin! Down with the Boys!

[scooper]

Who are the asshats voting off Zeppelin?

[Anrhydeddu]

I'm anxious for the Eagles/Zep final.

[Easy Mac]

I need my leppards to hear.

[Kodos]

Woooo. It's ugly early. Can the Beastie coalition stage a comeback? :confused:

[AgPete]

Down with hair bands! :mad: :D

Even with one arm, DL's drummer may be better than the Beastie Boys. :redface:

[Easy Mac]

I say we start an anti-LZ, anti-Eagles coalition, just so we can hear the old timers bitch about the poor quality of music we youngsters listen to.

[heybrad]

Once Def Leopard is out I would be happy to vote for the Eagles next.

Zeppelin and the Eagles are hardly from my generation and that of many of their defenders here. They are old timers to us as well, but quality is ageless. Zeppelin will win.

[Kodos]

I think the Eagles fans should make a push next round to vote out Zeppelin and then cruise to an easy victory over the Beasties.

[heybrad]

Thats a good idea. Vote Zeppelin or The Eagles next round.

[Ryche]

There is little doubt it will come down to Eagles-Zeppelin, and LZ should crush. Out of all these groups, the Eagles is probably the group I would be least likely to listen to for more than five minues...or however long Hotel California is.

[Kodos]

Eagles fans - I will support you in the final versus LZ if you help bail my Leppards out!

[astralhaze]

Down with the mullet.

[scooper]

It's probably a little late for that, Kodos, so you should throw your support behind the English band Def Leppard tried to sound like. I mean come on, their name sounds like Led Zeppelin.

Interestingly, Def Leppard chose to spell it that way to avoid being mistaken for a punk rock group (Deaf Leopard looks like a punk name), which was popular in the late seventies when they formed. The name came from a fictitious band that Joe Elliott invented for a poster in an art class when he was in high school.

But I will certainly admit that Led Zeppelin influenced DL, especially early on. They were actually bigger fans of Queen, Mott the Hoople, Bowie, and Slade, than LZ, but obviously the Zep influence is there too.

I had no illusions from the start that Def Leppard would win the contest. Like it or not, they got lumped in with the hair bands of the late 80s, even though they are more of a pop-rock band than a heavy metal band (which they readily admit). Sure, their early albums were heavier, but as they refined their skills, they became more poppy over the years. Frankly, I'm surprised that they got this far, with the stigma of being from the 80s pop metal era. They will always be my favorite band, but obviously bands like Led Zeppelin will be better regarded in the end, which is fine with me. To each his own. :)

[scooper]

I like Def Leppard. I never really considered them a hair band. On a related note. You mentioned Queen's influence. Remember the Freddie Mercury tribute concert? I thought they had one of the better performances that day. Them and Extreme. While they were overshadowed by bigger names like GNR, Elton John and Metallica, those were the performances that stuck out to me.

[Kodos]

I thought that Extreme did especially well at the tribute. I found myself wishing that they would do a cover album of Queen songs after that. The medley they did was just great.

[Ksyrup]

I think I have some of those Extreme songs from that performance on a bootleg of theirs.

[Radii]

I've voted for Def Leppard every round except for the Backstreet Boys round. Looks like I'll finally be on the correct side for once!

[Kodos]

Their chances seem remote right now, but there are still probably 30 votes floating around out there. The Leppards are on life support for sure, but not quite dead...

An alien can hope, can't he? ;)

[HornedFrog Purple]

If you don't like what you see here get the funk out... hehe

[Kodos]

Not bad, for a pasty little white boy... (I think that's what he sings next)

[Aylmar]

Down with the Beastie Boys!!

[HornedFrog Purple]

Whoops we must be on different wavelengths Kodos:

If you don't like what you see here
Nobody wants to take you prisoner
So let me make it nice and clear dear
The exit is right there
I don't mean to be rude dude
But you'd better change your attitude

I don't like what I see here

You're all invited to the party
You know you didn't have to come
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun

If you don't like what you see here
Get the funk out
We won't try to force feed you
Get the funk out

You can't please everbody
But everybody cannot please me
That's why I do what I want to
So why don't you do, do it to, do it to me, hey
So if you don't like what you see here
You can always leave the country

I don't like what I see here

You're all invited to the party
You know you didn't have to come
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun

If you don't like what you see here
Get the funk out
We won't try to force feed you
Get the funk out

All I see is pronograffiti
All I hear pornograffiti
It's a monster we all have within us
The American dream
I need more money
I need more money
Just a little more money
Just a little more money
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
He man woman hater
He man woman hater
He man woman hater
Dancing to the decadence dance

It's an Extreme song of which I only remembered the one verse heh.

[mckerney]

This contest was flawed from the begining because none of the bands deserved to win

[vex]

Ok Beastie Boys fans, who do we take out next round? Assuming we make it past this one.

[Coffee Warlord]

Calling all LZ fans to eliminate our prime competion next round, the Eagles!

[Kodos]

Actually, we are on the same wavelength. It's not listed in the lyrics below, but it's there. It comes right before the "you can't please everybody line."

Down with the Beastie Boys!!!!

[Easy Mac]

All Beatie Boys fans, unite against the Eagles and LZ, its sabotage time

I Can't Stand It I Know You Planned It
But I'm Gonna Set It Straight, This Watergate
I Can't Stand Rocking When I'm In Here
Because Your Crystal Bal Ain't So Crystal Clear
So While You Sit Backand Wonder Why
I Got This Fucking Thorn In My Side
Oh My, It's A Mirage
I'm Tellin' Y'all It's a Sabotage
So Listen Up 'Cause You Can't Say Nothin'
You'll Shut Me Dow With A Push Of Your Button?
But I'm Out And I'm Gone
I'll Tell You Now I Keep It On And On
'Cause What You See You Might Not Get
And We Can Bet So Don't You Get Souped Yet
You're Scheming On A Thing That's A Mirage
I'm Trying To Tell You Now It's Sabotage
Why; Our Backs Are Now Against The Wall
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage
I Can't Stand It, I Know You Planned It
But I'm Gonna Set It Straight This Watergate
I Can't Stand Rockin' When I'm In This Place
Because I Feel Disgrace Because You're All In My Face
But Make No Mistakes And Switch Up My Channel
I'm Buddy Rich When I Fly Off The Handle
What Could It Be, It's A Miracle
You're Scheming On A Thing; That's Sabotage

Damn this all to hell. The Beastie Boys have lasted much much longer than they should have. This is terrible. Grah.

[vex]

Beastie Boys fans, lets go for the bigdog next round, lets take out Led Zepp.

[astralhaze]

We MUST unite. We cannot split our votes. People indifferent will more likely vote The Eagles since LZ is clearly better. All Beastie fans should also vote for the Eagles. In addition to our coalition voting for them, so too will the undecideds. Politics gentleman.

[heybrad]

I will be voting The Eagles next round.

[vex]

But if we don't get rid of Led Zepp now, we definitely won't get rid of them the round after next when it's head to head.

[JeeberD]

See ya later, Def Lepard.

[vex]

Beastie Boys are only 6 up now!

I was thinking The Eagles. There seems to be more support here for Zep than the Geagles...

The 80s are my speciality. I watched enough MTV for everyone, and, as a result, I know a lot of lyrics. :) Just another useless talent.

[Kodos]

Bumped for the anti-Beastie coalition!

[vex]

Ok, lets go for the Eagles:)

[Kodos]

Save the Def Leppards! Save the Def Leppards!

why do you want to save a band with 2 members of NAMBLA in it?

[heybrad]

Why does it seem that we are letting this round go longer. Is it because the inventor of the poll wants to wait until DF catches the Beastie Boys. Lets move on. Def Leppard is out.

[Kodos]

Actually, each poll runs 24 hours. I have no control over it. I have called races that were 10 votes margins, but never one that was close. So nyah! :p

[Kodos]

Ahh, I tried to rally support for the Leps. But they lost. No big whup. No tirades about how everyone who voted against them is an idiot. :) I think the Leps did well to make it to the Final Four.

[Kodos]

P.S. What part of the 24-hour poll that I don't control the end time for don't you understand? :)

[Anrhydeddu]

pjstop, what comes around is the fact that you complete missed the point of this thread (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5456)

It was all about accepting the fact that someone will have an extreme opposite like/dislike from you - for whatever reason. You were picked on initially because you got defensive about that. It what makes each of us unique. 'Nuf said.

[Kodos]

I think we have the resident curmudgeon tags here reversed.

[Anrhydeddu]

I'm a really angry asshole

It goes with the bands you like, huh? ;)

But, as much as I am the Resident Curmudgeon, I need to stop making it appear as personal attacks when they are not. I was just slammin' on your, ahem, taste in angry music, and not you personally. Sorry you took it that way. As much as I would love to see the tables turned (you ragging on a band I like), I actually don't expect anyone to like what I like.

Peace and love.

I seem to remember liking your choices in the "5 CDs" thread. U2, Heart, the Boss...

[Kodos]

I heart Heart.
