TTR Game of Toanz

All righty y'all. I said this would not be a long drawn out affair since we have to be ready to vacate our house at the butt-crack of dawn. Got that pesky floor guy coming to to sand, re-stain and poly our wood floors.

First off. You guys all did great. Way better imagination than I have. So we had 17 left after my untimely demise. One competitor voluntarily bowed out the competition. One did not submit. What I did was to put everyone up as a Tab on my laptop so I could bounce back and forth easily. I narrowed it down to four from which I will pick a winner. Frankly there was no clear cut "Best." As I said, they were all good. So with no further ado.....

Don O: I dug the wine cork bulletin board. Laughed at the Husband Day Care sign. Tornado warning sign. And the fact he has no money. No phone. And he hangs out in front of the store with his "I will play for food" sign. Which in reality is quite sad.

Headache: Being the educator, followed instructions and posted on a real live Ace Hardware bulletin board..... at least that is what he wants us to believe, Posted right next to the Yard Sale.... Fresh Tortilla's....Music in the stacks at the local public library.... etc, Thought the pencil drawing of the guitar player was a nice touch. The clincher is the comment Disco's dead. Although, he does lose points for misspelling Drummer the second time..... Unless he really did mean "Dumber."

mcblink: Picked Blinky for one reason. I laughed out loud as did my wife when I read it to her. The line. "At least one band member must be at least 21 years old since my Mom won't buy me beer" was a great line.

LiveEvil: The sign was okay.... but the dude did write me a nice eulogy after I got kicked off the island for some dumb transgression like not reading and following the stupid rules. :LOL:

To pick the winner, if we were in the same room I'd have you guys do Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock to determine who wins. Or... which ever one of you know what the heck I'm talking about. But since we are not in the same room. The winner of this round will be the one and only.....

Headache

You other three are in a solid tie for 2nd. If for whatever reason, Headache is unable to fulfill his duties, I leave it to you three to have a Battle Royal Cage Match to determine who takes his place since I am outa here.
 
Congratulations to @Headache - If you can't sell yourself first, you'll never be able to sell any music!
Thank you @iblive - a fair, just and well-considered decision.

Now, the critically-important Immunity idol of Magical Hardwood changes hands from
@4406Pack's disturbingly flaunty loving care to the new and deserving holder @Headache
REMEMBER with GREAT POWER comes GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

OH BOY - Does he even know how much he's gonna appreciate having it?
The Game of Toanz must continue... Now it's time to reveal the next step on your way to the top.

Game of Toanz - Chapter 4
GUITAR DEPOT HERO

Your totally excellent Gear4Sale ad is getting traffic in Craigslist, couple calls, a few tire-kickers. There was even some talk of a box of old sticky skin mags and a dusty bag of powdery skunkweed with one guy as part of the transaction, but NO DEAL! You decided you needed to bogart those pleasures all for yourself. Still, you’re pretty confident your gear's gonna go, probably pretty soon too.

So, after pinning your rather awesome “Puttin’ it Out There” notice on the Guitar Depot bulletin board, you figure
“Hell, while I’m here, might as well “run the racks” and see what sort of crap they got in this dump!”

It's a pretty busy Saturday afternoon, place has about fifteen shoppers and only a couple on staff. When the floor salesdude gets to you, he looks you over like a real sketch piece of work, but reluctantly sets you up with a guitar/ amp combo for you to start play testing, then leaves you alone.

You wheedle away for a bit, nice little warm up. Then, as if on cue, two dudes you sort of recognize from moderately successful regional band "ACiDiC" stroll in. They swagger over to where you are, and hover. You rock out a bit, maybe kind of showing off a little... but then, somebody says something, then a bunch of stuff happens. It gets a little weird, cops show up, but at the end of it all there were no arrests or charges made.

Your Chapter 4 "Guitar Depot Hero" Challenge:
Post a maximum 120 second vid of your most cliche-laded Guitar Depot guitar trial riffs & licks. Must recognizably reference at least five universally overplayed rock guitar staples inside the allotted time (but more is better), throwing in whatever else you can dig out of the deepest recesses of your trick bag to blow away those trash-talking "ACiDiC" arseholes rudely creeping your space.

When you post, you must:
1. Tell us your side of the how the whole thing went down, maybe not exactly the story you told the police, but the truth.
2. Show us the video of you balls-out rockin' the faces off those dudes, before things went sour
3. List the riffs, etc.

Video and/or audio quality is unimportant. Neither is guitar skill. Raw Rock ATTITUDE is what wins this. However, see below to understand your chosen setting could be a factor, as well as your song choices, your extreme guitardedness and your wicked-cool bag of tricks. Even the T-shirt you wear might be a deciding difference. Now, you may wish to play it safe, or even gamble. Totally up to you! Inevitably, the whole TTR community will vote, (3 votes each again).

But wait, there's more!

To make it real interesting, you can really kick out the jams by aiming for TWO separate BOOST Awards generously made available by the Cowboy From Hell! He's in a real good mood tonight, finally got hisself a hot bath and a shave today, after ten days on the trail.

Boost Award #1 “UGH!” Worst tone, lamest song choices, most obnoxious playing (my wheelhouse, I judge), earns max +2 votes to your total.
Boost Award #2 “No Shame” Actually recording your video in actual guitar store we can see also earns +3 votes added to your vote total.

No edits to your video, or to your post once posted.

Oh, and one last thing.
Cowboy demands at least 1 epic pick slide be part of your recording, or an annoying penalty will be leveled upon thee. Yeah, he digs pick slides for some reason. Says they remind him of the sound of a braking locomotive, when his main squeeze comes to town.

Cowboy is still thinking about @C-Grins non-participation penalty. Maybe waiting to see he has any kind of reasonable excuse.

This is an Elimination round.
When it's over, someone will be humping bundles of shingles up a ladder, instead of pretty ladies.

Deadline countdown: RIGHT HERE

The good news is, at least I'm not waking up every morning with a woody in my face anymore.
