If it makes you feel better, I think you have a really good taste in music. And I feel no guilt about liking Poison, or any 80's hair metal.

Also, Twisted Intestine totally didn't get the full 12 hours between 6foot9 and KOAB. I appreciate the draft moving as quickly as it is, but make sure you give everyone the full amount of time between picks. Let's wait until 9:30 CST tonight before anyone else picks, and if TI had his heart set on one of the bands taken before his time was up, I'm inclined to give it to him and have someone else re-pick.

I'd say this is acceptable, but if we're ranking everyone's new religions here, your squad's dead last on my ballot now.

For the record, if KOAB makes his next pick before BradyQuinnManCrush (and I fully expect that he will), then BQMC will be eliminated from the draft. I PM'ed BQMC a couple days ago, so he's had fair warning. Posting this mainly so KOAB and Rocket know to start PM'ing each other for picks when the order changes.

Dionysus From Wiki: Sounds pretty cool.

Guess I made the right call with Bon Jovi... I figured out of all the bands I was considering, they were the least likely to make it back. Didn't think they would be this popular, though.

Bon Jovi

I think NBC has to pick their flex game 12 days in advance, which would be today. DAL/PHI or MIA/NYJ are the safest bets for games with playoff implications. Would you rather have the Dallas Cowboys show or the Brett Favre show?

Make sure I get a Norse pick... Jotun

Ok

Man, the first pick's always the hardest. Journey

Yep, I knew that wasn't coming down to me at #9. Stupid random draft order.

I suppose Jebus can pick to move things along. I did want to give Rocket 12 hours after the rule was clarified, so if he really honestly was going to take a band that gets picked in the next 7 hours or so, I'll have another decision to make. Hopefully that won't happen, but Rocket is a victim of unclear rules on my part, so I want to be fair.

Yeah, I'll say no to solo artists. Please re-pick, Rocket.

Because I missed you. My bad. You're on now.

Changes to the first post. Let's get this show on the road!

Let's get some western hemisphere influence here. Quetzalcoatl

Oh yeah. That was forgettable.

5 coaches, really? That seems like way more than usual. I know we've had Carlisemo, Mitchell, Jordan, and now Cheeks... Who was the 5th one again?

Anubis

I'm glad someone mentioned the Raw 03 combo of boredom with Booker/Christian and Steiner/Test. Both of those feuds were awful and never wanted to end. Kane and Show's match on Raw a couple years ago (during the May 19th angle I believe) where they chain-wrestled for 5 minutes makes up for every bad match they've ever had.

That didn't work the first two times... I think they tried it again, but I'm not sure how it turned out.

You know the drill. Sign up stays open through the weekend unless it fills up super fast. I'll take up to 20 people, but if there is a lower number, I'll probably want to make more rounds because there are so many options here. Any rock band from the 50's to now... Classic, metal, punk, screamo, whatever. Ok, we'll get this started now. When you make a pick, I encourage pictures and/or youtube links to your favorite song by your chosen band. No embedding, though. It makes the page look like shit. Also, keep in mind this is a rock band draft, so solo artists do not count. I'm thinking 15 rounds. If there's a lot of desire for the standard 10, I'll do that, though. Official order: 1. TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 2. Dr. Zoidberg 3. Nighthawk 4. Jebus 5. Gosunkugi 6. Darthtiki 7. Brooklyn Zoo 8.
