I am the Necrus - Walrus Reveal Thread

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:03pm

In 2nd Place – with 21 points…

LeVar

Blake Shelton - God's Country

Have I heard this song: Yes

Ah here

LeVar

is at it again :P He discovered the hidden cheat code of Blake Shelton in this round. I absolutely love his stuff. Religious overtures aside, this is a phenomenal track. It just makes you want to go out into the fields, grab a clod of earth and let it crumble in your clenched fists. God Tier choice

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:06pm

In 22nd Place – with 1 point…

Trigger

No Frontiers - Mary Black

Unfortunately someone has to come last, it makes it worse given the story

Trigger

told me about the song after he submitted it

But it just doesn’t do anything at all for me. I’m loathe to be too critical of the song given the background which I’m sure he will share when he has time, but unfortunately it (the song) just didn’t resonate with me. Sorry

Trigs!

Country is probably my least favorite music genre so I could have nominated anything here but nostalgia led me to Reba, a favorite of me and my sister back in the day. I'll accept your synopsis this time

Excellent as Heather Gummer in Tremors too. She kicked ass :cool:

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:08pm

Meaning that

In 1st Place – Scooping 22 Points….

Deja Boo

Desperado – Clint Black

It sort of had to be didn’t it :pac: Look I know it’s a cover – but it’s every bit as good as the original Eagles track imo (he actually released it on an Eagles tribute album).

And yeah it’s against my earlier comments of slow songs etc – but when you have a song this powerful with a voice this incredible it doesn’t really matter. Context is key. So well done

Boo Boo

, you’ve earned yourself the first Necro Maximum Score!!

That it, I thought you were doing all 10 rounds tonight

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:16pm

I've them written up but I don't want to monopolise the prime time Forum Games Saturday night slot

too bad the lead won't continue, cos... :rolleyes:

the other songs I forced upon Necros ears are of the biscuit variety

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:23pm

Lookit I'm free this evening and if there is appetite I have Round 2 ready to go?

Up to you folks though.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 19-09-2020 6:24pm

I heard a rumour that if we all want it and ask really nicely, Necro might give us the next round reveal tonight too...

EDIT: Damn he beat me to it... I had heard the rumour from Necro, obvs...

Tauriel · 19-09-2020 6:28pm

I'm game

Will take the doggo out for a quick walkies but expect good things when I return

Let's do this sh1t then.

2 Round Premiere Show as was mentioned to me... I like the sound of it.

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:30pm

This category was all about the air guitar and rocking with your co… erm sorry this is a family show. Anyways here are a few ditties I was thinking about in particular for this round:

So let’s get cracking shall we? Same format as before – 19th to 4th and keep the top/bottom 6 in some suspense

Kolido · 19-09-2020 6:31pm

Might be a few looking for a bit TLC Necro, not Palace fans obviously

ShaneU · 19-09-2020 6:31pm

No need for that :pac:

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:33pm

So... the last round I said I loved every song, which was pretty much true.

Once again the quality here was off the chain. There were a few I couldn’t really get into even remotely though if I’m honest.

Sawduck · 19-09-2020 6:34pm

Need something to cheer me up after watching that dreadful football match, as do a few others I imagine. This should be a great round with some good old rock tunes

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:35pm

In 19th place with 4 points…

Sawduck

Foreigner - Jukebox Hero

Yeah this just wasn’t my cup of tea unfortunately. I’m familiar with I Wanna Know What Love Is, which is grand on occasion but I’ve never been blown away by Foreigner tbh. Sorry

Sawduck.

The timing of that post

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:37pm

In 18th place – with 5 points….

The purple tin

Dead Kennedys: California Uber Alles

I didn’t dislike this song, it just never clicked with me. On paper it’s a great choice. The chorus gets on my nerves something fierce though.

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:40pm

In 17th place with 6 points…

Green&Red

Kings of Leon - Taper Jean Girl

I’ve a love/hate relationship with Kings of Leon. Their more popular stuff while I enjoy it is overplayed to infinity. Though Use Somebody would have done really well here. This unfortunately just didn’t fit what I was looking for in terms of the category.

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:43pm

In 16th Place with 7 points:

JP Liz V1

Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues

Hahaha, I do like this one but again it just doesn’t fit what I was thinking of for this category. Yep, I am a cruel mistress this time

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:46pm

In 15th place, with 8 points:

S1ippy

Mansun - Rock And Roll Loser

The opening to this is very Cigarettes & Alcohol-esque. Definitely what I had in mind, the singer’s voice though. Whiny doesn’t even quite aptly describe it.

tusk · 19-09-2020 6:47pm

13 points!

Don't mind if I do.

I have no confidence in this walrus tbh ahahha

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:48pm

In 14th Place with 9 points:

Kolido

Firehouse - All She Wrote

Another song that started up near the top but on relistens started sliding downwards. I think here is about right for it, very good choice.

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:50pm

In 13th place with 10 points…

Tusk

The Eagles - Victim of Love

I’m sensing a trend in these entries that I can’t put my finger on yet :P This is a really good song, I enjoy it a lot. But the competition in the upper echelon is rather fierce and so we end up here with this.

tusk · 19-09-2020 6:51pm

I'll take it...

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:56pm

In 12th place with 11 points

fixXxer

80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Celebrate Your Mother

This is daycent, really grimy feel to it which I like. Good choice.

Love the song, great pick. Should have picked Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon for the country round!

Necro · 19-09-2020 6:59pm

In 11th place with 12 points:

ShaneU

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

Man I was sure this was going to be near the top of the pile as it’s a song I absolutely love. But I think I’m just so familiar with it that it slid down into the middle of the pack. Still a great pick.

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:02pm

In 10th place with 13 points:

Gru

Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer

Another ‘cheat code’ song for this round really. You cannot go wrong with Livin’ On A Prayer, I’ll always stop what I’m doing and jump on my coffee table for that chorus. Over-familiarity costs it a few places though – this actually won a category in the previous Walrus I hosted.

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:04pm

In 9th Place with 14 points:

JohnGreenFan

Thunderstruck - AC/DC

Ah here, stop the lights lads – the quality tunes are coming from everywhere now! It’s another belter and perfect for this category. A romper stomper of a song and one I’ve absolutely rocked out to on many occasions. But, like Livin On A Prayer before it, over familiarity cost it a few places in the end for new shiny things :P

ShaneU · 19-09-2020 7:06pm

Last three songs should be top three

I demand a recount! :pac:

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:07pm

In 8th Place with 15 points:

Clarabel

Little Monster - Royal Blood

Hmmm… Monster, Little Monster – did someone’s Spotify get stuck on a playlist :pac: Anyways it makes no difference – the chorus of this is epic and that bass line…. Oh yeah my air guitar fingers are twitching already.

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:09pm

In 7th Place with 16 Points:

Rikand

Eddie Money : Two Tickets to Paradise

Haha, an oldie and a classic. Top top choice

Rikand.

I’ve spent the last few days belting out the chorus at random intervals so for that alone it’s worth it’s slot here.

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:12pm

In 6th Place with 17 points:

Reberetta

Girl Trouble - My Hometown

This is classic rock and roll and it’s just brilliant fun. Very enjoyable and a great entry.

Reberetta · 19-09-2020 7:13pm

Back in contention! Did you ever hear that song before Necro?

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:14pm

No I didn't, really enjoyed it though.

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:15pm

In 5th Place with 18 points:

LeVar

Gary Moore & Phil Lynott - Out In The Fields

Ah Jaysus now we’re rocking. The top 5 in this are what I like to call God Tier – just absolutely untouchable, the only tough part about it was determining their rankings. Familiarity has this drop a place or two but it’s a belter. Fingers are twitching again!!

Reberetta · 19-09-2020 7:16pm

I always try to submit songs that the host won't have heard beforehand. I could have gone for Bon Jovi or AC/DC if I wanted to be boring. ;-)

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 19-09-2020 7:16pm

Very happy with 5th, especially combined with the 2nd place in the previous round... It's been a good Premiere Night Double Bill for LeVar...

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:17pm

In 4th Place, with 19 points:

Osh

Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll

Here we fcukin go lads, this is a cracking track. Fits the bill to a tee in what I was thinking about for this category. Screw Stairway, this is much much better. *Runs*

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:18pm

And that takes us to our final 6 again… Nervous times ahead for

Deja Boo
Mustang shelly
RasTa
Arghus
Trigger
Irish Aris

Quite right, Stairway is overrated. I can think of at least a dozen better Zep songs offhand.

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:20pm

In 20th Place with 3 points…

Deja Boo

I'm the Only One - Melissa Ethridge

Not gonna be two in a row for

Deja

unfortunately. This is an ok song, I do think she is straining herself so much in the chorus she’ll end up with haemorrhoids though. It’s just not ‘there’ when I think of Rock’N’Roll. Meredith Brooks would have done way better, but anyways…

Necro · 19-09-2020 7:22pm

IN 3rd Place with 20 points…

Mustang shelly

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

Heh,

mustang shelly

this time was reading from my notes. ZZ Top are great, this is great. Fab choice.
