Speaking of badgers, what a great opportunity to smuggle in a video by one of my fav bands 😉

... and I was waiting for the moment the badger starts talking in the car and you realise that you really should not have eaten these funny looking mushrooms you had found earlier in the forest 😉

Nice, but is it really metal? Sounds more like hard rock to me 😉 Which language is it?

@Woodinblack, I just mentioned it over at the other thread that focuses on Sarah Brand, that this is definitely an experiment. As you mentioned her here first, you are either Sarah Brand yourself or you help her with the experiment. Very clever way to create content for Sarah's MSc dissertation. BTW, the research method she is using is called netnography: Netnography, an online research method originating in ethnography, is understanding social interaction in contemporary digital communications contexts. Netnography is a specific set of research practices related to data collection, analysis, research ethics, and representation, rooted in participant observation. In netnography, a significant amount of the data originates in and manifests through the digital traces of naturally occurring public conversations recorded by contemporary communications networks. Netnography uses these conversations as data. Netnography - Wikipedia

The Voodooo Kungfu bloke also looks pretty metal. I am sure that is real blood. Not sure whose blood, but hey, METAL!!! 😎

Agree and it is obviously not his fault that these current Top 10 lists are what they are.

Thanks, this was pretty good. I especially like how several bands incorporated traditional Chinese folk music. I also liked that the first and last band featured Spector basses 🙂 All in all, much more creativity here than in the following "Top 10 Metal Songs" video:

Well, when was the last time that stopped us from buying one? 😉

Maybe she is currently taking some singing lessons and will then conduct the second experiment as suggested by you. Multi-study designs are de rigueur 🙂

We need MORE badges. The badge for "Collaborator" looks exactly like the one for "Community Regular". How does that motivate me to make it to the next level? Not cool ☹️

They also released this one: https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-bongo-5-hh-crescendo.html

Alright, checked EBMM's Vault today and found the Kingpin. Well, it is not bling in the sense of a sparkle finish but still too bling for me: https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-stingray-special-hh-kingpin.html

Well, reading your very interesting "Brian May To Sue Basschat" post, I now understand why you list "My own little world" as your location 😉

Good stuff. I hope you are right and we all end up getting cited in her MSc dissertation. Although, for ethical reasons, she should ask us for permission beforehand.

BTW, my previous post "promoted" be to "Collaborator". I don't know, is it just me, but somehow the word has some negative connotations.

Well deserved, @Dood as you have always been my hero 😉

Nope, this is actually a nice song from a great singer. Wanted to show that Sarah Brand, even with the help of autotune, is nowhere near the level of a singer like Hannah Reid. I chose the live version of the song to show that she can really sing and does not need any tech help. So, it's the opposite of a hilariously bad song. Maybe did not make it clear enough.

Admittedly much butter but still far, far away from someone who can sing properly (without needing autotune). Someone like her:

Agree, this is probably the most likely scenario.

Could be that the booked the bar and invited family, friends and colleagues. Could also be that she paid people to come to her gig. A bit like when David Brent in "Life on the Road" paid his "Forgone Conclusion" band members to go on tour with him and to socialise with him.

Well, what can I say, I am speechless and that does not happen too often 🤪 I did some googling and found the following: https://www.gtc.ox.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/sarah-brand-fantasy-music-video/ "She is pursuing her musical goals while also studying for an MSc." Well, my advice: don't quit your day job! "”Fantasy’ is the debut single from my first album, ‘EyEs’. This reminded me of this song - eye to eye. I think these two should team up for a duet. It will either bring us instant world peace or the planet will spontaneously combust, leaving behind only a "globule" or a "stain" 😉

Man, this is bad. Her "singing" is awful and beyond autotune-repair. However, what's worse is that the red dress is not even as nice as the white one. Double whammy.

Well, at least now I know where Stu Hamm got the idea for his tattoo from (although, it seems his tattooist was illiterate ;- )
