and said "Boy let me tell you what!"
Do we all remember the movie Crossroads, 1986, the karate kid is a classical guitar virtuoso who hits the road to learn what it takes to play the blues...he ends up making a deal with the Devil for his and another's souls, a musical duel

So here is the game...keep in mind this is strictly an opinion based game so no hard feelings if someone does not prefer your style of music or your favorite person...it is just a game.
Game RulesCutting Heads
1. one poster puts a pic and video link of a musical talent...it does not need to be guitar...could be horns, drums, violin, vocals, etc...then the next poster puts up a challenge pic and video link.
(challenges should be from a related source...guitar vs a guitar rather than guitar vs kettle drum...the exact type of source need not be the same, a bass guitar vs lead guitar would be fine...at least somewhat related)
* Also lets try for some variety. If the last match up was between a guitar vs guitar lets try for vocals vs vocal or something else rather than another guitar match up. Posters won't be punished or criticized for posting a match up similar to the previous one, but things could start to get old if a trend of a certain style starts to occur.
2. video link should be 5mins or less...if longer then only the first 5mins should count.
3.
When posting your video be sure to state which is the main focus of the video. For example if you post a video with more than one person in it, state what you want the viewer to judge the video by. Like vocals, guitar, drums or the bands performance as a whole. That way the next video poster will be able to find an appropriate video to combat yours. 4. broken links are a loss by default.
5. after the two are posted then we vote...first one to get 5 votes wins...the other is cut...never to play again...thrown into the pit of dispair!
(the two posters do not vote on their challenge!)
6. winners may be brought up as often as it can be done,
losers posted later down the line are default losers automatically...so if they lose do not use them again.*The cases of videos with lots of backup instruments should be rationalized by the voters...give credit to the main artist/musician and not all the backup and supporting efforts.*
Just to review, using the above video...
Poster A...Jack Butler
Poster B...Lightning Boy
By the votes Lightning Boy wins 5:4, close match
Jack Butler loses and he is cast down down down
Lightning Boy survives to fight another day if desired
That is it
Rule additionsPS
The real person behind Jack Butler (Steve V) is still available because it was just an example. Characters used as with Lightning Boy are fine, but keep in mind that real people played the music (Ry Cooder), best to respect the artist and show their picture with the actor/character in the video.
PSS
Post a cruddy video link or your guy's not best performance, don't cry...just because they may be the best if you post a yuck video he or she may lose anyway
PSSS
If a challenge goes on for 3 days after the day it was posted without a result then it will be called a draw, and restarted with another pair!Let us begin!
