Hey everybody, I decided to take a break from these, cause I was really not inspired at all before, but I actually have some things on my mind that I can use for the next challenge, and hopefully it won't suck.

So what's been up all?

[QUOTE=Disco Dragon]Darn the luck. But I sense that perhaps you took my comment to heart. In that case I ask............why?[/QUOTE]

Because I was going to say something tacky about how your envy of people who have actually won a challenge is a bit over the top. But that would be rude, so I decided not to. :)

Also, I'm a slut.

Actually, I'm not really envious at all. It's an internet lyric challenge. I think I'll be able to cope with my losing. Besides, I do it for fun, not to win.

And after all, some day I might be a winner, but you'll still be a whore. :)

...DD, you've passed off your title as challenge whore? ****...I have been gone awhile...

wow, reading back, is it just me or have a lot of peiple gotten pissed during this contest...

i mean, me, yeah, then the whole noob/vet arguement....etc...

and then the amount of people unhappy with the word....

not a good challenge for anyone...lol

The rest of you guys that are in the challenge that haven't voted or finished voting need to hurry up and do so
I'm not going to be an as[color=white]shole[/color] and DQ alot of people so I'll give you until monday night about 10PM central time to get it done and then I'm calling the voting thread closed cause I wanna move on from this challenge and just get a fresh start from all this animosity

Uh, I don't know why you think I didn't give you a content critique, because if you look at what I wrote, you'll see I mentioned it specifically.

Yes the noob/vet argument. My two cents:

Being a vet is a huge accomplishment, and one that should be respected...lets say this...you are looking for tips on playing ice hockey. Who are you more likely to ask, a guy who has been playing twenty years, or the guy who just started last year? And when learning guitar, would you rather learn from Eric Clapton, or the 13 year old across the street who just finished his lessons at the local music shop?

My thoughts exactly.

agree...except being a n00b to this forum doesnt mean one is new to writing.

Clapton played emotionally, he wasn't amazing though.

Using older players verses new players, I'd take lessons from Peter Lindgren over Eric Clapton anyday

Isn't emotion kind of the point? The reason I dislike Dream Theater is simply because their music may be amazing, but it has no emotion...Like I mentioned in one of my crits, like reading from a textbook. Besides, ones music is not a complete showcase for how much knowledge and skill you have. I design web pages. If I design a small, and straightforward site because it's all I want/need, does that imply I couldn't do more?

Look guys, we aren't asking for much, lyrically. I know there are different styles, different musical genres, blah blah. But somewhere we need to see something...I want to believe that there is a POINT to reading your song, not just because the rules say so. I want to enjoy reading your song. Having trouble with imagery? It's not hard, check out 'White Room' by Cream:

In the white room / with black curtains / near the station.
Blackroof country / no gold pavements / tired starlings.
Silver horses / ran down moonbeams / in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles / on you leaving / my contentment.

I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings / could secure you / at the station.
Platform ticket / restless diesels / goodbye windows.
I walked into / such a sad time / at the station.
As I walked out / felt my own need / just beginning.

I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party / she was kindness / in the hard crowd.
Consolation / for the old wound / now forgotten.
Yellow tigers / crouched in jungles / in her dark eyes.
She’s just dressing / goodbye windows / tired starlings.

I’ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

I said nothing about you not giving me a content crit.....i said nothing about you giving a crit...where you gettin that from?

She mostly pulls it out of her vagina. The herpes may have hindered her reading capabilities momentarily.

And yes Minos, I have given up my title as challenge wh[I]o[/I]re. I'm thinking about downgrading to challenge prostitute-on-the-side.

DD you going to vote tonight?

I'll save superD the trouble.

super deluxe - cute. referring to your crit on my piece, I think I would actually consider it a critique if you read for content and not just read for the rhyme at the end of the line. that's your downfall

Thanks, Minos! :)


Now will you save me the trouble of telling DD that he's become an insufferable tool?

i'm sorry, this is going to be a stupid question, but what's going on here?! i've read through the thread, but i get the feeling that it's not what i'm supposed to do. you guys keep commenting on each other's lyrics (i think), but where can i view this?

i'm not a writer (of words) but i try to write on guitar. i found this thread interesting and would really want to find out more. please help
