Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (2 Viewers)

[simey]

Is this the guitarists other than rock and blues category?

It is Guitar Hero (Solos and/or Riffs - 2x Bonus for dual leads).   That's all I know.

 

[Ilov80s]

It is Guitar Hero (Solos and/or Riffs - 2x Bonus for dual leads).   That's all I know.

I am pretty sure it’s rock leaning guitar work 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

It is Guitar Hero (Solos and/or Riffs - 2x Bonus for dual leads).   That's all I know.

Also, it's supposed to be not the usual suspects.  Clapton denied.

 

[krista4]

Also, it's supposed to be not the usual suspects.  Clapton denied.

No, that was a category that was denied.  This is just great guitar parts.

 

[krista4]

It’s just the guitar version of All About That Bass and Beat It.

 

[rockaction]

Wait, I was just going to ask...is this obvious monster riffs, solos, or are these under the radar riffs and/or dual leads? It's not the anti-Clapton one, is it? No matter, actually, because...

Ah, well, I had a ton lined up and then this just screamed out of the sky today while looking at said monster riffs, getting a kick out of it, and Googling the best ones ever. The ones I would have picked were all mentioned, and above this, but this one...whoa. So now that guitar riffs and solos and dual leads come into play, I'm going with

Round 247.xx

Category: Guitar Hero

Song: Sweet Child O' Mine

Artist/Guitarists: Guns N' Roses, Slash, Izzy Straddlin

 

[rockaction]

I wonder how many babies are on earth, either incidentally or directly, because of some of these riffs, solos, and leads here. There's definitely a pyrotechnical display of what some might call auditory excellence, and what others might call auditory flatulence. But they're pyrotechnics all the same, begging for some sort of recognition in the sonic cloud, whatever form that recognition may take. Riffs are so distilled, solos so sprawling. What are we all looking for here in our guitar heros and heroines?

I'll be your mirror...

Free association posting since 2012. Carry on.

I had the exact same problem.  This makes things simpler.  I'll go with:

Round 247  -  Guitar Hero  -  Boston  -  It's Easy

 

[rockaction]

I had the exact same problem.  This makes things simpler.  I'll go with:

Round 247  -  Guitar Hero  -  Boston  -  It's Easy

These guys were in my top ten. It wasn't easy to winnow it down when one their tracks has like six different guitar tracks going nuts during it. Their sound is so impeccably thick.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 247

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd (Guitar Hero)

one of my favorite guitarists, David Gilmour.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

These guys were in my top ten. It wasn't easy to winnow it down when one their tracks has like six different guitar tracks going nuts during it. Their sound is so impeccably thick.

It does have a lot to do with why this song is awesome.  Just outstanding.

 

[Yo Mama]

GUITAR HERO

247.YM - La Villa Strangiato - Rush

Had to do it. No Geddy vocals, so stop your complaining. 
 

 

[Buffaloes]

Round 246

Featuring

Wyclef Jean featuring Lauryn Hill - Sang Fézi

 

[Buffaloes]

Round 247

Geetar Gyro

Radiohead - Just

pretty excited about the 2x bonus here until I realized the standard bonus is zero.

 

[Eephus]

247.8 or 12 - MUNA - Number One Fan  (Synth Smorg)

A bit of Sunday Synth Pop positivity* from my newly vaccinated daughter.

* although you wouldn't know it from its opening line

Nobody likes me and I'm gonna die alone/ In my bedroom/ Looking at strangers on my telephone

 

[simey]

I love Run Like Hell but for this playlist I should probably go with a song that features more guitar solos (although I love his tone on RLH). Sorry but I’m re-picking

Round 247

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (Guitar Hero)

You'll have to pick again. That was taken in Classic Rewind.

 

[rockaction]

Wyclef Jean featuring Lauryn Hill - Sang Fézi

I think I chose this song off of The Carnival for one of the two representative songs in the Desert Island draft we did a while back when COVID had just started. I love this track. I think Pras is on the track also.

 

[Buffaloes]

I think I chose this song off of The Carnival for one of the two representative songs in the Desert Island draft we did a while back when COVID had just started. I love this track. I think Pras is on the track also.

Best songs on that album are the ones in French imo. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

You'll have to pick again. That was taken in Classic Rewind.

I kind of knew that would happen. I’ll pick again.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 248

Let Me Get By - Tedeschi Trucks Band (Guitar Hero)

 

[rockaction]

Best songs on that album are the ones in French imo. 

Quoi? Je ne parle pas francais...

 

[Yo Mama]

Found a sweet stupid Twitter account:

Ted Lasso Dancing to...

This one is a Tame Impala song with the perfect cadence. 

 

[Yo Mama]

One last try 

Round 247

One of These Days -Pink Floyd (Guitar Hero)

I’m on my phone so if this was taken stick with RLH.

I just liked this post but realized I took it a month or so ago for Classic Vinyl

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I just liked this post but realized I took it a month or so ago for Classic Vinyl

I’ll stick with Run Like Hell

This is not the anti-Clapton one. This is outstanding guitar performances -- leads, riffs, whatever. Like Sweet Child O'Mine. 

 

[krista4]

247.k4  Cheap Trick - Lovely Rita  (Poptopia)

 

[rockaction]

247.k4  Cheap Trick - Lovely Rita  (Poptopia)

I think they forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, but it's still a cool thought and song. 

In all seriousness, is that him singing? Can't be. Oh, the female voice at the end saying "Thank you" might have just given me the answer.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 248:

Poptopia

Giving It Back -- Matthew Sweet

The lyrics are so negative for something so powerfully poppy. IMO this is Sweet's best post-Altered Beast song.

[Ilov80s]

Guitar Hero

Rd 248: Girl Gone Bad by Van Halen

RIP Eddie 

 

[krista4]

I think they forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, but it's still a cool thought and song. 

In all seriousness, is that him singing? Can't be. Oh, the female voice at the end saying "Thank you" might have just given me the answer.

It's Joan Osborne, and I considered taking another song because I want Robin Zander here, but I also thought this one sounded "power poppiest" of the covers.

 

[rockaction]

It's Joan Osbourne, and I considered taking another song because I want Robin Zander here, but I also thought this one sounded "power poppiest" of the covers.

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought it would be power poppy, but then it made sense with the big horns and all of that and it certainly was a driving pop/rock song.

 

[krista4]

248.k4  Cheap Trick - Southern Girls  (Poptopia)

Let's fix this and make sure they make it in here for their own song, too.  

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 247

Guitar Hero

A bunch of songs I would've used for this category have been taken.Checked a bunch of playlists and surprisingly didn't see this anywhere. One of the great classic rock solos and also scores the 2x bonus.

The Eagles- Hotel California

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 248

Guitar Hero

The first song I ever heard by this band and have loved them ever since.

Metallica- Fade to Black

 

[simey]

This tune written by Dickey was Duane's last recording before his accident. Duane has the first solo, and then him and Dickey play together, and then Dickey has a solo, and then they play together again. 

Round 248

Blue Sky - The Allman Brothers Band  (Guitar Hero)

248.8 or 12 - Thin Lizzy - Roisin Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend  (Guitar Hero)

Scott Gorham and Gary Moore on guitars play on an epic that weaves four traditional Irish melodies together. Moore provides the solos and I think the harmonies on his leads are Moore overdubbed as well.

 

[Yo Mama]

GUITAR HERO

248.YM - Nutshell - Alice in Chains

Guitar work and solos don’t all have to be shred-fests to create a major vibe. This song is probably my favorite from AiC and the guitar is as important to the mood it creates as Staley’s vocals.

About a month into the draft, I noticed an error in the channels spreadsheet that meant some categories had a slightly better chance of getting rolled. I fixed it then but it meant that there was a large blank space in the 970-1000 range.

We were still working with the original channels at the time so it didn't make any difference but now that we've gone crazy, I might as well squeeze another channel for the 970-986 range.

There are a ridiculous number of entrants in the Dayton bubble today so one lucky contender will get a pass straight through to take the new channel slot.

Round 248.xx

Category: Poptopia (Power Pop)

Used to listen to this quite a lot back in the late aughts. Even saw Wreckless Eric in concert. Yes, he played the "hit." Fun was had by all hundred of us.
