I suppose it takes some skill to use your instrument to intentionally create noise and feedback, but that doesn't mean I'm going to enjoy listening to it. Right there, that gives CAFO the default win. I did enjoy parts of the CAFO song's guitar work though, so I don't want that to come across quite as negatively as it may have sounded.

Animals as Leaders It made me glad I was invited here. Never heard this before and was duly impressed.

TOTAL TRASH – Ronaldo/Moore/Sonic Youth

That other....thing....was just painful. The ability to pluck notes at a high rate of speed does not necessarily equivocate to the ability to create music. And that drummer - omg - what song was he playing? (I know, I know - its not Drummer Wars TOC, but still, it was like two separate, non-complementary pieces of music being played simultaneously.)

Animals as Leaders, easy call.

TOTAL TRASH – Ronaldo/Moore/Sonic Youth

Speed kills.

That said...

Total Trash -- Lee Ranaldo & Thurston Moore/Sonic Youth, please!

Is this what you mean?

CAFO – Tosin Abasi/Animals As Leaders
Never heard of these guys...don't care about the song.

But I HATE, HATE, HATE, sonic youth

Set you up I did...

Okay Yoda.

This match will close tomorrow.

Tosin Abasi (CAFO) leads Ronaldo/Moore (Total Trash) 11-6

That's what I heard, too. Thurston et al to advance.

John Bonham did that a lot for Led Zeppelin and perfected playing one time sig while the band played another. He mastered it and many try to copy, but it's extremely hard to pull off.

I like Total Trash a great deal more, but in a guitar match I'll take CAFO.

WOW. Just...WOW. This contest is going to make me broke. I don't have time to type, I'm going to go listen to CAFO again. Who nominated that? I want to rep them.
