**Battle of the Bands Official Thread**

[VaderFin]

So has Vader lost all internet connection or just work? I haven't seen him around in quite a while.

He's lost it at work and I guess he's pretty busy at home too. Nothing too major from what I understand and he should be back when the season kicks off, but for now he's taking a hiatus.

Is that code for-His Wife wears the pants in the family

That or she threw out the ol' "You spend more time on the computer than you do with me and the kids" line at him.....

Boy, I hope that's not the case. If it is, that's the harbinger of the End of VaderFin - that's what that is.

HA! NEVER!!

Just got some crap going on at home.......

i really dont like the metallica/pink floyd one, cuz i think they are both incredibly overrated

yeah, the wall only sold 23 million copies...and dark side of the moon was only on the billboard charts for 14 years. nobody likes those jackasses except for a handful of stoners.

"The Wall?" "Dark Side of the Moon?"

What are these things of which you speak?



Seriously, Fleshner, calling Pink Floyd overrated is like saying Michael Jackson is as normal as they come or Beethoven was sort of a decent composer. You don't have to like their music and you're more than welcome to vote against them, but let's give quality bands their proper due, eh?

Absolutely correct. I'll be posting the Final Four tonight. Both Battles will run for two days so we're sure everyone has a chance to see them.

I'm thinking of letting the Finals (Pink Floyd vs. whoever) run for three days for the same reason.

Damn! its not right pairing pink floyd up with zep....but what u gonna do

I don't know - if any of the Final Four bands win I don't think it'll be an upset. I think if anything that if the Beatles lose to anyone that will be the only thing that surprises me.

I'm just saying that about Floyd because I'm a Floyd fan and there haven't been any close votes with them yet.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had no idea you were a Floyd fan though. I will be surprised if the Stones make it to the finals.

Remember, I grew up in Fremont. That town is stuck in the 70s to this very day. Growing up Floyd, Zep and Ozzy were about all we ever listened to.

I think those 4 pretty much account for most of the music the whipper-snappers listen to nowadays (rap/hip-hop aside).
