  • Online Asian women for daing  oneman4u.info

  • what's tuning is in that song could someone tell me?

  • Sir Jay has been sighted on the main channel thread. Now let's see how long it takes for justplayman to take credit and repost here like he usually does...

  • Could it be... the contest has come back to life? News on Sir Jay's Riff King Channel has been updated.

  • SPV Records filed for bankruptcy on May 25th. This was their contest. Epic Fail.

  • So this means... riff king was just a waste of time?

  • It sure looks that way, tho I wish it wasn't so.

  • 1. Check out this latest video.

    2. The 4th vow Jesuit Leader gets confronted about the

    bloody oath.

    3. You Tube channel: wearechangela

    4. Black Pope gets questions from WeAreChangeLA

    5. Yep,.....could have been a teacher

    6. Could ya see me as a preacher?

    7. Another solo...

    5. youtube com / watch?v=D4VWq3idxWU

  • From the RiffKingList moderator:

    Most of you have probably figured out by now that r.edward31@... (aka RiffKing contestant and wacko conspiracy self-promotor justplayman, aka Russell Edward) has been booted off RiffKingList for abusing the forum.

  • He's since moved on to spamming the riffkinglist comments section on YouTube, and having been locked out of that appears to have moved on wasting everyone's time with spam comments in the YouTube "Master Backing video.

    ...And no, I have no idea what that guy's all about, except that he's quite the joker. I recommend marking his posts as spam, since that's what they are.

  • On another note, welcome back from the Memorial Day Weekend everyone - I was hoping I might have received a final email from Sir Jay regarding who we should contact at SPV regarding the contest, but no. Just covering for the label, I would think - it doesn't look good.

    Regards,

    -rkl

  • 17. I can wait til' forever.

    18. I'll wait and see.

    19. I still know that the 4th vow Jesuits are temporarily behind everything that happens in this world.

    20. I said, " Temporary"

    21. google search: Jesuit Bloody oath,

    22. Some say the oath is authentic: Some say it isn't.

    23. I know that 4th vow Jesuits were formed because of the Christian break away from the Catholic church.

    24. The Devil wants all men under his one religion control.

    25. I could have been a teacher/ preacher

    26. Solo

  • 1. Everybody has an opinion.

    2. They are entitled.

    3. Everybody can have a forum or channel.

    4. That's their choice

    5. Everybody decides what they want on their sites.

    6. That's freedom.

    7. Each man decides for himself what abuse really is.

    8. Opinion rules the world,...but truth ends it and brings us into eternity.

  • Posting when you're off your meds is never a good idea, justplayman. Ask your doctor if Thorazine is right for you.

  • zzZzZZz....

  • The best source for news and gossip about the contest is the Riff King Crusaders Group on Yahoo. United we stand, divided we fall - why guess about things you don't know about when you can just sign up and join your contest brothers? It's better to light a candle than stumble in the dark.

  • May 31st 2009 Or Bust!

  • are the comments turned back on?

  • This is the dumbest music contest

    in the history of music contests.

    Hey,SAXON?

    Try laying off the drugs.

    & What's with the "thumbs up" stuff?

    You rate the videos by clicking a STAR. The "thumbs up" feature is to concur with PREVIOUS COMMENTATORS.

    Simply giving someone a "thumbs up" COULD mean you DON'T like a certain video...

    if the comment you agree with was NEGATIVE. This is stupid.

  • Another puzzler, I'd say, is this sentence from the "phase 2" description:

    "To ensure equal opportunities, every entry will start back at zero."

    Huh?!?! Zero of WHAT? And HOW will this be accomplished? As far as I know, you can't remove ratings (or "thumbs up" votes on comments) on another user's video, even if it's on a playlist of yours. I'm interested to see how this works out....

  • According to Sir Jay? We should be in the finals (10 left) today, I think - but we haven't even selected the semi-finalists (50 left) yet. Still some hours to go...

  • When is this happening man?

  • Countdown To May 11th... 3 Days. Countdown to SAXON Landing In New York: 11 Days. Chance of Anything Actually Happening In Between: Priceless.

  • Right after posting that, it got repaired. Doesn't seem to be anything new going on, though. Maybe it's time to start working on Anvil's guitar competition...

  • Anybody else getting "An error occurred, please try again later" msgs watching SirJ's RiffKing video? This is new.

  • When is the result date officially due?

  • Let's start a betting pool for the actual prize award date - the prize could be, oh, half the kitty with the rest going to the Jason Becker Foundation or something.

  • Are we there yet? zzzZZZ mumble mumble

  • If i will win, i`ll take my girlfriend with me! :) We both like Saxon very much! If icould take more people with me, i would take all my friends too because theay all pretty much listen to Saxon!

  • Live to Rock! Never Stop!

    I love this song...

  • I also wish to say that Saxonriff didn't do anything wrong here. God bless the contestants, one and all - it's the organizer's job to enforce the guidelines that they set.

  • I saw the video today, is that Nigel on the motorcycle? I'd like to take that motorcycle out for a spin, that's a nice bike!

  • It's funny I thought everything was fine, the next day I was getting a little worried. I think my cable internet burped. Either way, it's nice to get to know other players, and see their talent. Live to Rock is such a great song, it's no surprise it's Saxon. I can't get it out of my head.

  • You're very welcome. I agree 100%, this is a great thing that Saxon is doing and I see he has a comment already deleted by the author, so it's no wonder his mouth gets him into trouble.

  • I reserve to correct my own typos, thank you very much. Mod-deleted comments show no trace - "deleted" messages are visible only when the author edits himself. Could we please have a smarter person speaking for the contest here? I don't think you're doing the label any favors with your rude comments.

  • I had actually uploaded it on the 23rd, I thought it went through but for some reason it didn't.  So the next day I tried again and wound up deleting the other. Youtube won't let you have duplicate videos so I deleted the first. Aces, thanks for your help, I appreciate it. To me it's a non-issue, these things happen and it's no big deal.

  • Pizza, You want to know who's got the problem, look in the mirror, and while you're at it, get that thing out your @#$!

    Everybody here is having a great time but you. Here, let me show you the door...

  • The submission date of the videos are contained in the entry - if you paid proper attention, you'd note that the dates displayed are earlier than the actual posted date - the difference in time between than and now is the time it took the moderator to post the file.

  • OK, that does it - this competition has officially BECOME a labyrinth. New entries are still coming on line, including one uploaded after the cutoff date! wtf!

  • Pizza, you need to relax. How do you know when these videos were submitted? Once a response was made, someone has to approve it before it shows up on RiffKing, and this competition is worldwide. So according to your logic, approvals have to made right away, which means someone has to sit at the computer 24/7 so responses from around the world can get approved right away, and they better not be one minute late. Listen to yourself!

  • Hello... Check my solo out! Rock on! :)

  • There's more mod censorship here than in the North Korean Information Ministry. (I'm just sayin'...)

  • Who knows... i'm really confused right now.

  • Comment removed

  • Saxon.What a bunch of lying has-beens.What are they doing?These assholes need to be flushed down the sewer.Everybody should pull their video.Saxon Sucks.

  • Let's see if I get this right. Biff is now going to be picking the Semi-Final 50 from the 126 entries between 4/23 and 5/7 (2 weeks), followed by YouTubers selecting the Final 10 from among them during 5/7-5/11. Biff will then pick again and announce the Special Prize Winner on May 31st. I don't know what the March references in Phase 3 are all about.

  • Being a print journalist, I see people make these kinds of mistakes all the time, especially in these days of lazy typing habits developed from too many hours spent on Instant Messenger (or YouTube- doh!). I think this is a case of copying and pasting without double-checking to make sure that doing so doesn't produce errors in the resulting content (like incorrect dates!).

  • I'm guessing it's too late to enter this into the competition, but just for a lark, check this out:

    watch?v=y3cVKlKigrA&feature=ch­annel_page

    (Warning: This is extremely daft! )

    A big salute to everyone who participated in the contest!

  • I think i'm out because of the Date....=S

    Please Check my solo...Good Luck toEveryOne....

  • Of 151 entries to date (4/21), 23% have pulled out with 116 active entries remaining. 37% of these (43) are entries that came in after 2/1, when the contest was extended.

  • What'd ya'll think? we've been posting since last december i guess, i posted it the day before it was "over" in february. I really feel that we were played on... but still, hope this ends up for the best.

  • What's happened with the new video/responses?

  • My video/response is no there!?!?

  • comments are back on!

  • I THOUGHT IT WAS IN ASIA MINOR

  • what key

  • C minor

  • CHUPASO PA

  • Awesome riff to play different rock solos! Yeah!

  • Chupacabra rocks!

  • japalubaczow rocks!

  • who?

  • yup!

  • This has been torn into the song i heard most since i knew about the contest. My own solo screams out each time i try to listen to other ones... lol, it will totally mark a stage of our lives.

  • Casting ends on april 23rd, check out my video and plz comment!!! it's groovy bay-bay!!!!! ENJOY...

  • So what are the rules now and when is the competition ending? Your site is written in pigeon english and does not explain what you will do on the 23rd April

  • Comment removed

  • WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA

  • DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA...........

  • the contest is over now??

  • I agree with you as for the rules should have been applied, still, you have to think that they might have thought that almost everyone sucks. lol

  • The rug's been pulled out from under the competition? WTF! No respect for the contestants who followed the rules here. This deserves better than the quietly added news blurb on RiffKing's channel.

  • Agreed. I was miffed by that too, especially after all the technical crap I went through trying to get my entry on here in time (uploads taking forever and then failing for no good reason, waiting for videos to be approved, etc.). And I'm not looking for sympathy, because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who experienced this. Also, the contest rules could have been worded more clearly- the way they were, I honestly was not sure how this was even going to work. I just hope it all works out.

  • You're absolutely right. I found out about this contest last monday and had a lot of trouble but still uploaded my entry on time. I had to record directly from my stompbox!

  • yeah, this is bullshit!! totally ruined the contest! pick the top ten already! people are tired of waiting!

  • Can you believe this shit?Saxon's EXTENDED this fuckin' contest!This shit has gone on long enough already.Who the fuck wants to sit thru this shit?Ridiculous.95% of these motherfuckers are horrible.They can't play.They suck.Get rid of the mediocre retards.Narrow it down already.What a fuckin' sham this is.EXTEND THIS,MOTHERFUCKERS!

  • Hej! Here is my video, waiting for approval: watch?v=SmUdlL3d3_Q

    Hope you like it!

  • and i've submitted an entry too 4-5 days ago but i'm STILL waiting approval,why does it take so long? watch?v=w0zZgvsiDqM

  • I've submitted an entry, but it's awaiting approval. In the meantime, it can be found at:

    watch?v=bFvBm6bQvWI

    I've enjoyed most of the entries so far. Hopefully we can keep back-biting to a minimum. Cheers, everyone!

  • /watch?v=8j8EHgOmaBg

  • Y'know, pretty much everyone who entered this contest late in the game is at a disadvantage for views 'n ratings, so could we please cut down on the sniping? 30% of all total entries have already been recalled, for cryin' out loud. I have no idea how this contest is going to be judged fairly, but one thing's for certain - cheerleading squads and posses are both in very poor taste. Ultimately this competition is all going to boil down to the band's gut feeling, methinks...

  • /watch?v=pl1Kb5n_fPI

  • Hey guys I am in no way defending anyone, all i would like to say is, all who posted it was a pleasure to have seen so many different takes on the song and each is unique in its own way. The kool thing about it is we all gave a tour of our brains for the duration of the solo. I find it difficult to see fair judgment passed seeing as there are so many things that come to mind when it comes to  voting. (Theory,Technique,Timing,Subdi­visions,Melodic establishment,Dynamics) Anyhow its been fun.

  • Let's keep things civil, people. there's only 13 days left to go...

  • Dallas needs to win this competition. These other guys are simply clowns.

  • Hey,jjpeppercat,if these other guys are "simply clowns",how come they all got a zillion views & you only got 223?Hmmm...maybe it's because you "simply suck".Guess what?Eat my fuck.

  • hey,jjpeckerhead! you've got to be musically retarded! and an asshole! that man just ain't got the chops to win!!

  • hey jjpeckerhead, that comment about the others being clowns, ain't gonna help any. in fact, it's gonna do him in!

  • I think that i have my video posted,why i can't see it here?

  • watch?v=MTKoa_IYEbc

  • ...and two days later, still waiting - so, here's a newer version! /watch?v=Ru7hTm_cNhs

  • New video response posted... and now, the wait!

  • /watch?v=pl1Kb5n_fPI

    watch mine please!

  • Friends of riffguy cheering. (lol)

  • how do iget my video up ive tryed posting a video but still hasent come up

  • same thing happened to me

  • riffguy is the best ! ! !

  • Wow, there are some really great entries! That said, my vote goes to Riffguy!

  • riff guy!riffguy!riffguy!....

  • are you gay?

  • riffguy wiiiiiins!

  • riffguy takes it man

  • Dallton Santos have more then 21.000 views in only 10 days ?

    If judges accept his entry, this contest is down.

    Dallton Santos is a f*cking idiot cheater. He´still using a virus youtube software to give up more views in his own video. He used this cheat in others videos that he uploaded here.

    Ask him - How to cheat on youtube ?

  • Ditto,beforstorm.But why did he even cheat?He's not a bad guitarist.WTF?Congratulations,­D.Santos,you just lost the contest.What a dumbass.

  • as expected riffguy lives up to my high expectations. most definately the best in this contest so far. its unbeliavable that hes not in a big band and had been discovered yet... well hopefully saxon has the connections to help him with introductions at this level... //stratman miggez

  • riff guy wins

  • Riff guy takes it i think.

  • for whatever reason, i cannot post a video response...

  • This is a freaking genius idea!
