    Just cast my first item in this thing fornirwal good reason. Alice Cooper always seemed pretty cool to me. Dio...not so much.

    Alice Cooper has definitely got the edge as far as length of career and productivity but I feel like Cooper was a lot less consistently good. Dio is also more "metal" in my mind for whatever that is worth. Cooper was always just "heavy metal" to people looking from the outside in. Like yeah, if you enjoy Garth Brooks and Whitney Houston I guess Alice Cooper is pretty "metal". Still like both.

    We need to get someone with venn diagram skillz to do something with hard rock and heavy metal. Some hard rock can be metal, but not all metal can be hard rock. Does it "swing" or not "swing", that is the question.

    Dio is Mount Rushmore. Cooper is a foothill somewhere.

    I couldn't fit the pentagon and the triangle and it's way too much work for a shitty screen shot ms paint job to edit it. I always think of glam metal as pink for some reason....

    Have you seen the voting? Fuckers can't get enough Winger, Poison, and GnR. That shit is playing in too many dad's basements.

    That's only because there were only three grunge bands that made the tourney and two of them played each other in round one and the other played the winner in round two and none of them were AiC.

    *shrug, it's also just a joke. Accuracy and technical prowess weren't my priorities.

    Would you say I was at least 81% accurate?

    Back to the polls, this is such a good matchup on paper and I'm really not sure which way it will turn out. It'll be chintersting either way.

    I still think Nirvana would have won the bracket even with AiC included. They had the close scare against Soundgarden but rolled the rest of the way.
