BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[Ariana]

Who fucked up that vote?

 

[Diesel 11]

Turn your thumb right-side up.

 

[Night Prowler]

The poll will stay open for about 3 more hours. If there's one tie, there will be a rematch. If both matches are tied, I'll shuffle them into two new matches.

 

[Night Prowler]

Eliminated after Round 31:
Ritchie Blackmore
John Petrucci

Promoted after Round 31:
Tony Iommi
Alex Lifeson

Final match begins!

 

[Diesel 11]

Iommi is all about the riff; Lifeson is all about what you can do with a guitar. I'm going with the latter, but these two could do great things together in a band.

 

[Night Prowler]

Iommi.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Remind me: is the intention of this game to create an ultimate band that we would want to hear or to crown the best musicians for each instrument, or both?

 

[Night Prowler]

Little bit of both, to be honest. Some people will always vote for their favorites so it's hard for the voting to be unified in that regard.

 

[The Flash]

I'm treating it as the latter.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

Iommi cos metal

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

They’re both great. So If I’m going with who I would rather have as a guitarist and songwriter in an ultimate band - Iommi

 

[mckindog]

Wait, can’t we have two guitarists?
Because these two in the same band would be freaking awesome.
Not just their ability, but their contrast.

I want this to happen.

 

[Diesel 11]

Is there going to be two guitarists in this band or just one, @Night Prowler?

Two, but there'll be a definite winner between them.

 

[Forostar]

Iommi can do more than just riffing. Take Nightwing. Here are some beautiful solos Diesel and others (and note the playing behind it, not just riff, riff, riff).
Nightwing

Agreed. Shut down the poll! Both win.

 

[Diesel 11]

Agreed. Shut down the poll! Both win.

[MrKnickerbocker]

I just quoted mckindog and got blindly excited!

 

[Diesel 11]

 

[Brigantium]

And tied again

 

[Night Prowler]

Bassist game is coming right after this one, then drummers, then vocalists.

This is probably going to be the longest game ever, because there'll be at least 32 rounds for each of those, assuming I don't think of a different format later
