As stated last week its winners choice this week :) congrats to all of you guys who got first place!

I just placed advanced song for masterclass since veggs said they probably wont pick a song

i included the paths from songs that were picked as a bonus incase anyone wants to dive into them. (first place is the main song)

Havent played any except for the linkin park one so this will be an interesting week :)

as for the songs some info that may or may not be true xD:

White Winter Hymnal – Fleet Foxes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNE

neat video

  • The song has no traditional chorus—its hypnotic feel comes from repetition and layered harmonies.

  • Its lyrics sound nostalgic and wintry, but they actually hint at something darker (a childhood memory involving loss).

  • The famous line “Michael, you would fall…” sparked tons of fan theories about its meaning.


Two-Faced – Linkin Park
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kivUsDGWojU

  • A lesser-known track compared to their big hits, it reflects the band’s early exploration of identity and inner conflict.

  • Like many Linkin Park songs, it blends rap and rock elements—a signature of their early sound.

  • The theme of duality (“two-faced”) shows up often in their lyrics, especially on their earlier albums.


Arahja – Kult

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vw2K0AgFF0

  • The title “Arahja” doesn’t have a clear meaning, adding to the song’s mysterious vibe.

  • It became one of Kult’s most iconic tracks, especially in Poland.

  • The song’s lyrics are often interpreted as political or societal commentary from the late communist/post-communist era.


Heavy Metal (Slaughter's Version) – Sammy Hagar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpBqZjwE1Oc

  • Originally written for the animated film Heavy Metal (1981).

  • This “Slaughter’s Version” is a re-recording tied to the band Slaughter, giving it a heavier, more modern edge.

  • Sammy Hagar later became the frontman of Van Halen.


None of Them Knew They Were Robots – Mr. Bungle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Rw-BqqBTw

  • The track is a wild mix of genres—thrash metal, circus music, and avant-garde chaos.

  • Mr. Bungle is known for unpredictable songwriting, and this song is one of their most chaotic examples.

  • The band features Mike Patton, famous for his insane vocal range and experimental style.


Soothsayer – Buckethead
was suggested by Phantasy in discord and I said id put it up the next time i hosted. Also Emmy was kind enough to revisit their chart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adV8-_hgL4g

  • Widely considered one of Buckethead’s most emotional and accessible songs.

  • It was written as a tribute to his late aunt.

  • Unlike his more experimental work, this track focuses on melodic, expressive guitar playing rather than technical shredding.


@cacahuate51

Thanks for Kult. It's a pity that the guitar is a bonus, but the Bass is the most fun to play path, so it's ok.

I just wanted to point out that you made a mistake in choosing Dance Gavin Dance song. Lead and Rhythm are a solid 9 in this song, so you were probably supposed to put a different song there. Not to mention using rhythm path only, which would be criminal 🙂

  • Author

ok thanks mikson, like i said no clue how the songs actually are so will do some switching later on. I just used it since @ALSRC suggested it but he mightve just been expecting to win bass not rhythm.

@cacahuate51 Thanks for hosting and thanks to all for the song picks.

Out of town this week, so here are my scores after a few warm up passes. I think this chart is the better of the two options.
