This Or That? (Part 2)

[Charger]

It's an Iron Maiden album...and not a very good one!


Nothing Else Matters or A Tout Le Monde?

[Zzzptm]

A Tout le Monde



The guys digging in the record company vault found something!

A previously-unreleased track by The Monkees

OR

A previously-unreleased track by The Partridge Family

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I quite like The Monkees... so their lost song!



Most people agree that Global Warming is a real thing, but...


Is it man made    or    Is it a natural cycle of the planet    or    A bit of both

[Zzzptm]

Given the scale of change of previous natural cycles, the amount of change we are experiencing over and above what was historically typical indicates that natural causes alone would only account for a small fraction of the current warming trend.

Therefore, man made.



You are now a massively popular rock and roll guitarist. Time to pick out the hat that will define your on-stage persona!


A top hat

OR

A bowler hat

[Charger]

I'd rather go with a cowboy hat but if that's not an option bowler hat just because it looks stupid.


Time to then shoot a music video.

Wear leather gloves while playing or white silk gloves?

[Zzzptm]

Leather gloves, gotta project that metal image.


Studded leather

OR

Spiked leather

[Charger]

Studded


Leather pants or Leather shirt?

[Zzzptm]

Leather shirt, I seen the Friends episode to know where leather pants leads to...


The Devil is offering guitar lessons!

Sell your soul for the full course or become a rock band manager and try to convince the guitar player to take it up with The Devil and to sign an ironclad representation contract with you...

[Charger]

Sell my soul for sure! Who needs one anyways if you can play mean guitar!!

Time to put your band together but you have to settle for:

A bad drummer or a bad bass player?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Bad bass player, you just have them do something simple and it's can still be effective.


... next one in the band you have a choice of


A keyboard player   or   a third guitarist?

[Zzzptm]

^ Lol at bad bass player... the And Justice for All solution... "Hey, there's no bass in this mix, what happened?"


Keyboard player, I don't do "guitar army" stuff...


Add in a horn section and backup singers or keep it just the 3-5 of us?

[Vyn]

Just the three of us, we can make it if we try. Just the three of us. You and I. And that other person.

Produce your own record for the first time or let Rick Rubin do it?

[Charger]

I'd want a good sounding record so I guess I'd have to try to do it myself...bigger chance of getting it right than with ruin rubin...

Album artwork time.

A specific art made by an artist or a standard picture of something?

[Zzzptm]

Standard picture, but with effects. I don't need a controversy with an artist that does something I hate but then have to contractually use.


Record company says they like the stuff they've heard so far, but could you do something a little more commercial to boost the sales?

Do you...

Record a 2:34 bit of ear candy that is pretty much NOT what you're doing on the rest of the album 

OR

Just hear the first part of that and carry on with what you're doing and have the rest of the "more commercial" argument later?

[Vyn]

Ear candy. And make sure everyone gets a writing credit.

Your commercial tune was massively successful, people are willing to spend $ to go hear you play that one song, and are also getting into the rest of your catalog.

Allow your management to use Ticketmaster, or go grass-roots for ticket sales?
