Battle of the bands

Put two bands that you personally think would be interesting to watch face off, as well as why and who you think the victor would be and why. There is no limit to genres or time periods, as well as you can disagree with someone if you have a valid reason why the band they picked as the winner would lose.

Example of what is not acceptable

The Jonas Brothers vs Suicide Silence

Why:
Cuz it would be fun to watch Suicide Silence PWN those noobs!!!!

The winner:
Suicide Silence!!!!

Example of a bad response

Nu uh! I Love the Jonas Brothers!!! :kiss:

My example of what is acceptable

As I Lay Dying vs Bullet for my Valentine

Why:
Because they both have similar styles. As I Lay Dying is a Christian metalcore band that writes songs about their faith in Christianity as well as important people in their lives. Bullet for my Valentine is a metalcore band that writes songs about love and being picked on. They both use hardcore vocals as they both have the same vocal instructor, as well as impressive guitar techniques.

The winner:
Bullet for my valentine. They have a wider variety of different emotions connected to their songs, It is a lot easier to absorb the message in their songs, and they have a slightly better stage presence. Their pronunciation is also a lot clearer than As I Lay Dying, so you can understand what they are saying and most of us aren't hardcore Christians, so we can't really relate to their music or absorb their message properly.

My example of a good response
Well, there could be circumstances in which they would lose. Like if the audience was made up of all Christians. And you left out the fact that Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying usually gets involved with the Audience a lot more the Matt Tuck from Bullet for my valentine.
 
haha I made exact the same game on another forum (got quiet active lol)

I'm not sure which was your entrie BUT I guess it was As I lay Dying vs. Bullet for my valentine
(Pick one ang give another right? ;))

As I lay dying wins

Why?
I picked AILD over BFMV because BFMV gained all there fame from a couple of good song, while 3/4 of there stuff is pure garbage. AILD has more good stuf and the good stuf they have is better then BFMV's.. And AILD has a better clean vocalist.


As I lay Dying vs. Haste the Day

As I lay Dying vs. Haste the Day

Opinionated. BFMV's "The poison" did gain them a lot of their fame, but so did AILD's "shadows are security."

As I Lay Dying vs. Haste the Day

Winner:

As I Lay Dying. These are two really good christian Metal bands, but the fact is that As I Lay Dying is more popular and had had a lot more hits then Haste the Day. Tim Lambesis also has a more unique scream then Stephen Keech.

Next:

Journey vs. Metallica
 
Haste the day also had Jimmie (okay he wasn't as good as the new one.. but Haste the day is WAY more balanced when i comes to Scream/clean vocals and the clean vocalist is deffenly one of te best of any band.)
Also I would say this isn't about 'more popular' but better in personal opinions :biggrin:

Winner : metallica
How much I hate metallica they are the better one of these two. Especialy when it comes to instrumental play. Some of the guitarplay pieces are fantastic. And Journey just isn't my cup of tea :smile: . Not really much to add because the only thing I lik about both bands is the guitar xD


Blessthefall vs. Vanna
this could be an intersting one. (one of the best Screamo bands against the most brutal one)
 
Winner:
Vanna.

Why?
Because there really wasn't much of a choice...new age emo post hardcore band v.s. another new age emo post hardcore band... Eh, honestly, I'm not really a fan of that genre, but I don't hate it either. I don't really like the mixture of singing and screaming. It's either one or the other for me. I don't wanna be throwing down in the pit and then have to stop because the song gets soft.
Though, I will have to admit. From Autumn To Ashes was totally my favorite band back in high school. >_>


Norma Jean v.s. Botch

(Oooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!)
 
Rammstein v. TDG (Three Days Grace)

Rammstein and Three Days Grace are alot alike except Ramm. is from Germany and TDG is from Canada xD

but I honestly think Rammstein would win since they have very good muski and put on a damn nice show.
 
Very close. But I would have to say three days grace. Their fan base is a lot larger and they have been popular internationally for quite some time. I have to give more props to Rammstein for breaking the norm of an international rock band singing in English.

Velvet Revolver Vs Stone Temple Pilots
 
Aerosmith v.s. Van Halen
Both are classic hard rock bands, and went through a fallout before coming back together again - but Aerosmith kept their vocalist while VH got a new one.

Winner Van Halen
Why?
The two vocal periods provide more variety, and the majority of each of them is top notch, while Aerosmith's new material, though good, just doesn't quite mach up to good ole toys in the attic.
