Guest Low Roller Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Survivor used to be one of the more popular re-occuring topics on the message board (nothing will ever top "5 Disc Rotation"), but time restrictions and lack of imagination stunted it's continued success.It initially consisted of a list of six well-known musicians, and one by one they were voted off until a chanpion was crowned. If I remember correctly the winners of the first two editions were Bob Dylan and Jerry Garcia. You can look up the topics using the Search tab (maybe).Then Survivor faded into disinterest.But lo! It returns with a chilling new concept!I've randomly picked six videos posted on the Youtube sub-forum by various Skanks, and have pitted them against each other in a battle to the death.Every day your vote will count towards the elimination of one of the contestants, while the survivors carry on into the next day. The voting period ends at midnight every day, and your final survivor will be announced on Saturday morning.And now without further ado... the contestants...The Yardbirds live on French TVPosted by BoucheTalking Heads- Life During WartimePosted by PaisleySonic Youth- IncineratePosted by JaimoeCarlos Santana & Eric Clapton- JingoPosted by Dr_Evil_MouseGRAB- Billie JeanPosted by BajPete Townsend- Rough BoysPosted by Bradm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Awesome spin on a fun old concept. The only problem is the time investment in watching six videos. Good thing I don't go to class.To the wanker of all wankers, the overrated Mr. Santana, who likes to make people cry, I say: take a fuckin hike, ya jingo.

SmoothedShredder Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I vote the Pete off, it was tough, but I base my vote on the fact that it was the hardest for me to get to the end of. And that's saying something considering the length of the Yardbirds, or even Santana... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 great idea, but I can't commit to watching all of these to make a vote. I vote myself off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Phish can take a hike.The Yardbirds clip is one of the best things I've ever seen on Youtube. It's one of the only existing and interesting artifacts regarding the transformation/break-up of The Yardbirds and the formation of Led Zeppelin.
