Re: Rush Survivor, series 2: Caress Of Steel round 4 (July 31 - Aug 2)

I must say, I'm surprised this Rush Survivor isn't getting more voters. I thought Rush was fairly popular among Maidenfans members. That's why I selected Rush in the first place.

Or maybe people just don't know these early albums very well. Perhaps we'll see more action when we get to 2112 and the other famous albums.
 
Re: Rush Survivor, series 2: Caress Of Steel round 4 (July 31 - Aug 2)

Yeah I noticed that too. I know Shadow likes Rush, and Perun too (esp. 2112). And wasted155. Let's hope they, and others will join later on.

By the way I have a suggestion for the new series. Judas Priest could be a nice band as well.
 
Re: Rush Survivor, series 2: Caress Of Steel round 4 (July 31 - Aug 2)

I'm not going to start any more of these right now - but Priest is indeed a band I've strongly considered. Also Zep, 'Deth, and even the Beatles would be fun.

My concern is that I don't want to spam the forum with Survivor games. The five we have now seem like enough to me.

Of course, that's just me. I'm not stopping anyone else from starting more of these, and running it themselves... :innocent:
 
Re: Rush Survivor, series 2: Caress Of Steel round 4 (July 31 - Aug 2)

We could start in the fall of 2010 or something. :)

Re: Rush Survivor, series 4: A Farewell To Kings round 1 (Aug 4-6)

SMX, just in case: Did you make double vote or is someone taking the piss with us?

Since we did this with the two of us, it's hard to believe that suddenly someone joins us and picks exactly the same tracks as you just did. ;)

I didn't vote yet.
 
Re: Rush Survivor, series 4: A Farewell To Kings round 1 (Aug 4-6)

I happened to agree with SMX in this case ;)
