I feel like I'll come in like sixth or something as I continue to send in mediocre, inoffensive songs while other risk takers make the wrong gamble until only the true heroes remain

I full intend to spit in the face of safe choices and submit highly polarising stuff. This tactic will definitely blow up in my face in a round or two.

Let's put Dizzy/Eric out of their misery.

Atlas reminds me of this

Sorry to hear that you're taste in music is broken.

lol @ 3 quarters of you submitting like 8 minute songs

tryhards

Dizzy submitted 'Welcome Home' by Coheed and Cambria.


Eric submitted 'Night to Remember' by Prism

It almost sounds like you agree with my assessment, not that my assessment is wrong.

This would have finished in the nodium, but ultimately the submitter would have advanced to round 3.

haha nooo - could have done a better job with category fit for sure. gl all

Oh and I know why the drummer has his crash cymbal so high. It's because he was afraid he'd overuse it if it was closer and easier to reach.

game changer idea

if you are likely to overuse an instrument, just make it harder to reach

could instantly improve a good number of bands

should say 'super safe' for the super safe song

and Edge of Extinction for the song just above being cut

Round 3 Category: Side Project
Round 3 Deadline: 11:59 PM on Sunday, September 6th

I'm looking for a song by a person who is a regular member of a band who went off and produced/performed a song without that band.

Here's an important stipulation. The song has to be released while the member is still an active member of his/her band.

This is a valid timeline:

1) Band Member "A" is a member of band "B" and releases albums, goes on tour with band "B", etc.

2) Band Member "A" goes off on his own and produces an album or releases songs without band "B".

3) Band Member "A" resumes releasing albums and/or touring with band "B".




This is an invalid timeline.

1) Band Member "C" is a member of band "D".

2) Band member "C" leaves band "D" and releases new songs/albums.

3) Band member "C" never returns to band "D".



It is permissible, but not necessary for the side project to be a solo effort. If someone has an entire side band that's separate from their more recognizable band that they're most associated with, that's fine.

The following acts are ineligible.

Battles	ELO	Jeff Beck Group	Pink Floyd	The Apples In Stereo
BB King	Fila Brazilia	Jeff Buckley	Platinum Blonde	The Cure
Beastie Boys	Foo Fighters	Juice WRLD ft Marshmello	Portishead	Third Eye Blind
Beyond	Foo Fighters	LCD Soundsystem	Prism	Tool
Blind Melon	Frightened Rabbit	Led Zeppelin	Rush	Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Coheed and Cambria	Funkadelic	Linkin Park	Slint	Weezer
Cranberries	Gentle Giant	Manic Street Preachers	Sneaker Pimps	Weyes Blood
Daft Punk ft Paul Williams	Heavy Metal Kids	Massive Attack	Sparkle	Wu-Tang Clan
Depeche Mode	Igorr	New Order	Stereolab	XTC
Dire Straits	INXS	Nick Drake	Talking Heads

Nevermind

Read yours more closely

If an artist has already been used would I be able to pick that person's side project? I don't necessarily have anything in mind but it's the first question that popped into my head

I've thought of this, myself. Since the question was raised, let's go ahead and say the answer is "no." If you submit a side project song by Jimmy Page, of Led Zeppelin, for example, that will be invalid.

What about the inverse? Does a Jimmy Page song invalidate Led Zeppelin (if they weren't already used) for future use?

I'm only going to have this stipulation in place for this category. I don't plan to do the research to find out every band that a person has ever been associated with just for the purpose of eliminating people from this game.

If you want to submit a Jimmy Page song in round 4, that's fine.

For the record, 'Beck's Bolero' was performed by both Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin in round 2, and I never considered disqualifying that song.

Seems fair

So if I submit a solo artist then their band(s) is NOT disqualified in future rounds.



Example: I submit one of the Hanson brother’s solo song then we can still submit Hanson in a future round?

I thought about submitting Uninvited, but it just isn't interesting and I never felt like it was building.

Go for it.
