Since I have been moderating the "Metal Bands World Cup" with a lot of fun,
it gave me an idea...

Why not do the same for the 'Classic Rock Bands' from all over the world?!

So, with credits to Agent_AAS for giving me the idea, here it is!!!

Ladieeeeeeees aaaaaaaaaaand gentlemeeeeeeeeen, we proudly present to you, the

_______________________________________________________________________
### CLASSIC ROCK BANDS WORLD CUP !!! ###
_______________________________________________________________________

The format of this World Cup for Classical Rock Bands is based upon the organisation schematics
of the Soccer World Cup, same as the "Metal Bands World Cup" was made. It has the same rules
as the Soccer Cup in terms of proceeding through, but it will follow a few rules of its own too.
To elaborate the >binding rules< for this competition:

# The Group stage:
-There will be 8 different groups presented in the thread, one at a time, and each group will
be consisting of 5 Classical Rock Bands that will be pre-selected by me or one of the co-mods.
-Every user of Armor Games has the power to give one point with one vote for one band only.
So you only get to vote for one band in a group, no double voting for a single band or
voting for more than one band per group. No exceptions will be made in this matter.
-When one of the bands in a particular group reaches the 10 points limit, the voting for that
group is over and that group will be closed for voting by me or one of the co-mods. Both the
'group winner' and the 'runner up' band will proceed to the knockout stage of this World Cup.
-If two bands will reach the 10 points limit at the same time in a group, the band that reached
the 10 points limit first, will automatically be declared 'group winner' and the band that
reached the 10 points limit secondly, will automatically be declared 'runner up'.
This rule also applies for the second place in the group. If two bands reach a similar point
count for second place at the same time, the band reaching this point count first, will then
automatically be declared 'runner up'. Remaining bands will be eliminated of the competition.
Again, no discussions about the outcome are allowed, should this situation occur in a group.

The Knockout Stage:
-After completing the Group stage, the 'group winner' of the first group will be up against the
'runner up' of the second group. The 'group winner' of the second group will be up against the
'runner up' of the first group. This scedule will be followed for the rest, to clarify:
#1 Group A vs. #2 Group B (Winning band is called 'Winner I'
#1 Group B vs. #2 Group A (Winning band is called 'Winner II'
#1 Group C vs. #2 Group D (Winning band is called 'Winner III'
#1 Group D vs. #2 Group C (Winning band is called 'Winner IV'
#1 Group E vs. #2 Group F (Winning band is called 'Winner V'
#1 Group F vs. #2 Group E (Winning band is called 'Winner VI'
#1 Group G vs. #2 Group H (Winning band is called 'Winner VII'
#1 Group H vs. #2 Group G (Winning band is called 'Winner VIII'
-Like in the famous 'Battle of the Bands thread', you (again) get to vote once for one band only.
-When one of the bands in this knockout battle reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is
declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition.

The 1/4 Finals:
-The next stage, the 1/4 finals, will be held in this order:
# Winner I vs. Winner V
# Winner II vs. Winner VI
# Winner III vs. Winner VII
# Winner IV vs. Winner VIII
-When one of the bands in these 1/4 final battles reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band
is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition.

The Semi Finals:
-The semi finals will be held in the order of:
# Winner I/V vs. Winner II/VI
# Winner III/VII vs. Winner IV/VIII
-When one of the bands in these Semi Finals battles reaches the limit of 10 points first, that
band is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition.

The 'Shadow Final':
-A number three and four is decided in a match between both 'losing' bands from the semi finals.
Again, the ranking of third and fourth place in this Final is decided upon the band that reaches
the 10 points limit first.

The Final match:
-The Final match is held between both winning bands from the semi finals.
-When one of the bands in the Final reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is declared
the winner of the competition and is crowned The 'CRBWC' Champion 2010.
-The remaining band is ranked #2 in this competition.

# Further rules for this competition:
-You can only vote once per group and only once per knockout battle
-You are obligated to give a good reasoning on why you choose the band to get your vote.
('They are the best' or 'I like them' is not accepted as a reasoning.)
-There will be NO playoffs held in this competition.
-You don't get to complain when 'your band' is eliminated from the competition.
-Swearing and obscene language is not tolerated. Always respect the opinion(s) of the other users
participating in this thread, even if you disagree on their reasoning.
-The 'Armor Games Community Forum Rules and Regulations' and the 'Battle of the ... Thread Rules'
are to be followed for this 'Classic Rock Bands World Cup'. They will be referred to when needed.

Ah, not sure if you guys mind. But I'd like to post a suggestion for the next band battle or whatever lol. You should do the great bands of the '90s such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc. Maybe excluding Nirvana, cause I have a feeling they'd take the
'cup?' home pretty quick.


I don't think 90's music qualifies as classic rock...

Does Twisted Sister do "I Wanna Rock"? If they do, they get my vote. I love that song!


This one's by Kiss if it's the one you're thinking of: " I, what to rock and roll all night; and party every day. (repeat)

KISS. They pretty much started the whole shock rock image


Actually, the first real "Shock Rock" performers would be two fellas, one by the name of Screamin' Jay Hawkins (in the 50s), and another Mr. Arthur Brown.

And that's all I have to say about that.

In order to have everyone able to vote properly, there will be a time limit of a maximum of 5 days placed on the rounds of the group stage next to the vote limit. This way all users can vote and no one will be left out! =D


Yay, my idea was implemented... Thanx.

Ah, lemme see who I vote for... Errrrr...

Only one I've heard of is KISS, but upon seeing the music videos, I have to vote for:

Twisted Sister

I just found the other videos boring or lame. Sorry to the great bands...

LOL You mean with Gene's massive tongue hanging out? hehehe XD
He has the biggest tongue in the history of Rock... man, steak sized! =P

Yay, my idea was implemented... Thanx.


Yup! Good ideas are always welcome!

Same with the idea of wajor59 for putting up videos of the bands for those who don't know all of them! Good one wajor59!

Of course I meant Gene but I wouldn't compare his tongue to a steak, just a cow's.
Just don't forget Mick Jagger's tongue.

No problem, I'm already looking them up for myself, you know, 'old-timer's', I mean altzheimer's.

Seems I'm always forgetting to vote! Ahmmm... let's see...

I've seen both currently leading bands perform on the same day and I'll base my voting on just that festival experience...
Allthough Twisted Sister gave a hell of a show and rocked me to my core... KISS was even better with their wall of sound!!!
Man, the decibels shooting in your direction were simply staggering! So to make this easy: great show + awesome songs + wall of sound + world domination on 'Shock Rock' + FIREWORKS! = KISS

And with my vote counted... KISS is in the lead! =D

Current ranking shows:

Group C:

-KISS - 5
-Twisted Sister - 4
-Poison - 1
-Motley Crue - 1
-Cinderella - 0

Voting is open till Monday, then the group will be closed and the next group will be posted! So if you haven't voted yet... better hurry! =D
