500 MB Cash Contest

[gnr2k3]

Now that I have your attention, there is a 500 MB Cash reward for the first person to sucessfully identify every riff in this Medley. The 500 goes to the first person to identify them all in one thread (I am not going to look for your answers in 8 different threads).
In order to gain full credit, you must identify the name of the artist for each riff and the name of the song the riff is from. Oh yeah, it is possible for the same artist to do different riffs in this Medley. The deadline for this is February 20th. If, for some odd reason, nobody has successfully answered all of the riffs, the person with the most will get 200 MB Cash.

Enjoy, and if this goes over with the crowd, I will do more Medleys (and amount of MB Cash may increase and decrease due to difficulty)

Good Luck

[Ralph'e']

[Ralph'e']

:confused:.. i recognised like, one tune outta that.. man, thats tough..

[ZelRiptha]

Wow, I know quite a few of those... how do you want us to answer, via e-mail? Otherwise... everyone will know everyone else's answers. :)

[eireboy]

man, this a hard one.

[gnr2k3]

You can answer in the form of a message on this board. See the thing is the message has to contain Every Artist Name and Song Name in order. The first person who has every one on ONE message reply wins....I will verify the winner by the Date his/her reply was entered...;)

[gnr2k3]

Oh, and my suggestion, don't post anything with the names of songs until you have them all...:)

PS...There are 15 different riffs from songs in there...

[gnr2k3]

It is now the 17th...3 more days Til the deadline....

(I won't post anymore until someone successfully answers something by then)

Oh yeah, if anyone posts the answers to the second Medley here, they will be disqualified.

If no one guesses all of them...The first three people who have sent me an attempt at the Second Medley will recieve 40 MB Cash Per Correct Riff....The Second Medley will be put up on this Thread in 10 Minutes. Good Luck with the New Rules and the New Medley

[gnr2k3]

Here is the new Medley, and there are only 14 riffs in it this time. Good Luck, and remember this time, PMing is the only way to win

[jeaniesing]

Great idea... great game... I haven't a shot in h3ll though..... :rolleyes2.... I can sing every voice part of every song in a my rotation at school (usually 12-15 pieces x 3 or 4 parts) but can't remember the words or titles of any of 'em..... and that's stuff I've heard in the last 5 days let alone 5 years....... The human mind is mysterious! :)


and "participated" ;)

[ZelRiptha]

Yes, nice game gnr2k3. :)

It's harder than it ought to be because I haven't listened to the radio since about 1987, thus don't know most of the newer groups.

[gnr2k3]

There has been someone that has answered 13 out of 14 in the Medley 2 contest. The contest will end February 25th.

[KingXII]

gives contest a little boost with a sticky :D

[doodnessitty]

this was a great idea. i know all but like 3, but i just can't think of the names. So far, i can name 4... :/

[ducvader]

Im new to this! Ill get better at it. This forum rocks!

[doodnessitty]

so when's medley 3 scheduled to come out?

[gnr2k3]

Medley 3 is scheduled to come out.....March 3rd..So Be PREPARED

[gnr2k3]

As promised, March 3rd equals the third installment of the Medley Contest....So without further ado....MEDLEY CONTEST 3

The rules remain the same as Medley Contest 2 (PM Answers to me, no posting answers in the thread, but feel free to coment on the Medley here.)

The only thing different is that the stakes are higher. The prize has been raised to 1000 MB Cash for the winner. To win you must name the artist and song from the Medley...There are 15 riffs to name. All must be named in order to win. It is a winner take all contest. In the case of no winner, the top 3 entries will be given a percentage of the total prize amount. The more answered equals the more MB Cash....So have at it...The deadline is in 10 days...the 13th..

[silvers10]

I have a feeling this will not be easy...

[doodnessitty]

ok, now i'm down to 3. i think medley one was the hardest

[doodnessitty]

finally, i have 1 to go. blast you number 14!! i shake my fist at you and say bah!

:shakes fist and yells bah!:

[gnr2k3]

You may have one to go, but there is nothing saying that all of the other fourteen answers are correct....And as for Medley One being the hardest, I beg to differ, because no one has successfully answered everyriff in one of my medleys. And Medley 4 is in the process of being scouted out, and I will make good old number one look like child's play....

[KingXII]

:: decides not to try but dl's the midi anyways just for the hell of it ::

[KingXII]

hmm i know a few of these but can't put titles to the riffs

[ZelRiptha]

Hrm, Medley 1 was the only one I could make heads or tails of. :)

[gnr2k3]

Just give it a whack King, what could it hurt...Because there is no entry fee here...LOL

[gnr2k3]

Don't worry Zel, Number 4 is going to be going back to the roots of the 80's

[ZelRiptha]

Make it 70's and I could probably compete. :D

[gnr2k3]

70's/80's....Final Offer....

[KingXII]

the bad thing is that i can't really differentiate the different riffs well some of them have breaks but right now I could name one and i don't know which one it is lol

[KingXII]

i'll enter that lol
:: prepares to send 4th set of riffs to a friend :
lol
a few of them are quite obscure (talking about 3rd riff)

[gnr2k3]

All understandable....So it is official, the next contest will consist of ONLY 70's and 80's Riffs...

[ZelRiptha]

I'll give it a burl... ;)

[doodnessitty]

ok i guess i'll just keep my mouth shut from now on

[doodnessitty]

Originally posted by gnr2k3

so are you incinuating (i think i spelled it right) that i got one (or more) wrong? and how's come you're evil now.....?

[gnr2k3]

Mr. Doodnessitty, I am incinuating that you more than likely missed one, or two. Remember I am the Medley Contest Creator, hence I decide how much of a percentage you will get if you don't complete the Medley 3. As it looks you have successfully answered 15 out of 15 riffs, the only problem with that is that you correctly answered 14. You are still beatable. I am now evil because someone once told me that "I am one EVIL mod." So it is time to live up to that. Bring me all 15 correct riffs, and I will give you 1000mb Cash, til then, fair game for everyone else. Good Luck

[naleca]

ok i guess i'll just keep my mouth shut from now on
Hey dudenessity maybe you should refer to your above post, please abide by the rules, when gnr2k3 tells you that you have got them all right then and only then will you be given the reward Thats assuming your in first.
P.S. The word you where looking for is "inSinuating"

[gnr2k3]

Well spoken naleca....
See Dudenessitty, even the EVIL mods get support...

[doodnessitty]

i know i don't have it in the bag yet and that it's fair game to everyone else, but i think i am pretty close to getting that last one

[doodnessitty]

but your right, i'll stop posting until i'm sure i have it

[ZelRiptha]

*chants*

Go, dood, go!
Go, dood, go!

:)

[gnr2k3]

I am thinking about declaring Doodnessitty the winner by default due to the lack of other entries. I will decide on this by 1:00. If I declare him the winner, he will recieve a large portion of the initial prize.

[ZelRiptha]

Hrm, only a few of medley3 jump out as being recognizable to me (one hugely obvious, the rest vague). :(

Pretty nice sequences in general, though. Are these from your personal collection, gnr?

[ryeman]

Are you planning another test for march or maybe april?

[gnr2k3]

The Medley 3 Contest is officially ended. Doodnessitty is declared the winner with 14 out of 15 Correct responses.
The answers are as follows:

Alice In Chains - Man In The Box
Metallica - Memory Remains
Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People
Disturbed - Prayer
Papa Roach - Last Resort
Tantric - Breakdown
Default - Deny
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats In The Cradle (Harry Chapin)
Three Doors Down - Kryptonite
Cinderella - Nobody's Fool
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing (Stevie Ray Vaughn)
Kansas - Dust In The Wind
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Boston - More Than A Feeling
Taproot - Poem

Zel....The Medleys are by me, I get bored doing nothing all day, so I listen to my mp3 collection and decide which riffs I want to use in the Medley and whola....I have a medley in which only I can take credit for.

There will be atleast one more Medley Contest coming out in a few days, but if there is a lack of interest, as in Medley contest 2 and 3, there will be no more additions.

[doodnessitty]

wow, i guess i was way off on number 10 then huh. lol...metallica. that's crazy

[gnr2k3]

LOL...I am out of state for the time being...but when I return, Medley contest 4 will be posted....

[M@g!k]

thats good

This is a really cool idea! Seems to be a lot of fun (and time consuming as well... but it keeps your ears and brain working) :)

[M.O.T.E.]

Where the hack did she go....... I need to talk to her.

[ste2k]
