Awesome! Anything from “The Real Thing” is welcome in my library!
My thought exactly. Thank you N&S!
Hey there Rockers,
Things have been so chaotic during my move. I have had far less time and things like hints and such have been just more than I can do. I am now all moved and almost back in full gear. People have pm’d me and that has also been a victim of time during the move. I apologize for that, if you sent me a pm and I didn’t get back to you it was just a time thing. I love this community and have been a part of it for a long time. I will be back full force, which leads me to a few questions for all the Peeps.
If you are a fan and want to help out, could you please give us your thoughts on these couple of subjects?
1. Do you like hints? Have they gotten old with you? I understand if they have, it has been over 2 and 1/2 years of them. Would you like to see changes in the hints? Did you like picture hints?
2. Do you like the RockFights? Do you enjoy the write-ups? Do you like that you get to vote?
The reason for asking the second set of questions is that I have some new RockFight stuff coming soon. Some of the focus will be shifted to single songs rather than all packs. We have more than just that to add.
Coming soon. we have more RockFight : On the Road.
Also coming soon, a new RockFight spin-off called RockFight : Redemption, where Rockfighters that came up short in earlier RockFights get another chance to show what they can do. There will be more on this later.
Also In the future… RockFight : Battle of the Decades and RockFight : Battle of the Sexes
We recently posted our 800th song to the database. We have been at this for a long time and we always want to improve the experience for the Peeps. If you have a chance, drop us a line and let us know how you all feel.
We appreciate your time and thoughts! Thank you for all the support and kindness.
Remember to Rock Out… Life is Short
Hey Nun – I feel kinda weird about saying *anything*, because I’m one of those people who think the artist should be appreciated for the art, and this entire thread has been on creative fire for so long, that I’d be scared of messing with that in any way.
But since you opened it up to comments…
I read each and every Rock Fight, and thoroughly enjoy them. As a long-time wrestling fan, I get every reference, appreciate the consistency of the format, and eagerly await each and every appearance of the
HOLY SHIT!
HOLY SHIT!
HOLY SHIT!
chant. It makes me chuckle to myself. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Having written my fair share of overly detailed “themed” posts, I also really, *really* appreciate the time and effort you’re putting into the writeups.
That said…if you chose to stop writing them, and saved yourself the 20 or 30 minutes a week (or whatever it is), I don’t think anybody is going to think any less of you, nor would it diminish the incredible contributions you’ve made to this community. People are still going to download your stuff, because your content is well done, and we can sense the passion and love you’re putting into your stuff.
It’s really about what makes *you* happy as an author…if you enjoy doing the writeups…dude…keep doing them if it makes you happy. If it’s becoming a time drain…don’t keep doing it because you feel an obligation or anything like that.
Hope this doesn’t come off as too “preachy”…that’s not my intent or the tone I’m trying to write in. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, bro!
Honestly, I look forward to the hints every week. I check the forum daily for that reason. And I also dig the rock fights (although I’m upset ICP loses every time lol)
I’m a huge fan of the hints. I look forward to them every week and have a blast researching them. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Hey there Rockers,
After a lengthy moving time I’m back and I have your hints for this weekend’s release. Let’s see if you guys can still get the job done and guess all the clues.Hints for Song # 1
Our first track this week was nominated for a Grammy. This track was referred to as a career-saving song for the band. The band name was inspired by an odd game show franchise that still lives on Michigan. The band has shared film with Britney Spears.Hints for Song # 2
Our second track is from one of today’s brightest stars. This ode to unambitiousness was the artist’s 3rd single from his debut studio album. It was a 3 times platinum single.Hints for Song # 3
Our last track this week began as a collaboration with the Muppets. The lyrics lead me to believe the Muppets would not have used this song, at least not in this version. The band has been to the Funhouse before.Have a great week! Thank you for all the comments! We’ll see ya all this weekend!!
Remember to Rock Out… Life is Short
Hey there Rockers,

Release Notes
Bowling for Soup – Girl All the Bad Guys Want should bring a few smiles to Peep’s faces. This catchy song has been on my lists for a long time. Today it is here!
Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song is an infectious pop song that is an ode to chillin’. This is a fun addition to the game with cool harmonies and a great-for-parties-type-sound;
My Morning Jacket – Outta My System is a great spacey track that was originally intended to be a Muppet song for a project, but the executive in charge was fired and it never came to be. The lyrics are not Muppet-type fare, but the song’s lyrics are reflective and would have been great coming out of Kermit’s mouth!
We had 2 “Big Brains” this week
Epietro (1)
Dantrav (1)
Great job! I see some of you are still sharp out there. The Muppet hint should have given it away, still… great work !
Next week is
RockFight Saturday Night Pink Floyd vs. The Doors
Have a great weekend everybody! We’ll see you soon!
Remember to Rock Out… Life is Short
Welcome Rockers, Peeps and Rock Band Freaks!!
RockFight Saturday Night Presents
Pink Floyd
vs.
The Doors
In a Shaman’s Psychedelic Submission Cell MatchTonight, the arena is a very weird place. Over the ring there is a huge cell-like structure covering the ring and its surrounding area. The bars of the cell seem to be made of light bars. The mat is a tie-dye and swirl pattern. There appears to be a small tee-pee just outside the door to the cell. The crowd is quiet and looking a bit lost here. This is like no RockFight before. We have some celebrities in attendance tonight. In the crowd we see… Timothy Leary, Hunter S. Thompson, Roky Erickson and Bill Hicks. The normal violence in the air has given way to a sense of unknown and adventure, so far. Over the house PA you can hear faint sitar and bongo music playing.
We go now to correspondent JJ Nagin who is standing by with Commissioner Sam J. Glarms. We see both men standing near a chalkboard. Let’s see what they have for us!
JJ – “I’m here with Commissioner Glarms, we are going to go over what we have in store for us in this crazy Shaman’s Psychedelic Submission Cell Match. Thank you for joining us, Commissioner.”
SJG – “Thanks JJ, this is a first here for us at the RockFights. We are in completely uncharted territory here. What you are about to see is completely unprecedented. Both teams have been given very explicit and detailed description of this match. Both teams agreed and signed the contract for this unsanctioned bout. No athletic board anywhere would sanction a bout where all competitors would be under the influence of a psychotropic substance. One man will enter the ring every 3 minutes until we have all the entrants in the cage, then the match will fully begin. Until all entrants are in the ring, no winner can be had. After all the rockers are in the cage, the first team to get someone from the other team to submit will be our winner.”
JJ – “That sounds like an insane event to try to pull off! This is the strangest cell-type cage I have ever seen. What is the story behind this monster of a cage?”
SJG – “This cage features LED light bars for cage bars, which allows for this…”We see the cage as the lights go out in the arena. The cage begins to light up. Each bar lights up and changes color for us to see. Then the bars begin to strobe and flash. They light up in patterns and begin to swirl color around the cage everywhere. The cage colors and light begin to pulse. We have our first chant tonight…
Holy Shit!!!
Holy Shit!!!
Holy Shit!!!The crowd stands and gives this cage a standing ovation. Which leads to our second chant…
This is Awesome!!!
This is Awesome!!!
This is Awesome!!!JJ – “That is amazing! We have never seen anything like that. So what is a Shaman’s Psychedelic Submission Cell Match?”
SJG – “We will find out tonight! In that small tee-pee there is a Shaman. Before a rockfighter can enter the cage he must sip from the Shaman’s cup.”
JJ – “What is in the cup?”
SJG – “I believe it is an Ayahuasca-type thing. Only the Shaman knows his secret recipe. It is said to be intense and almost immediately effective!”
JJ – “This is gonna be a wild night, I think!”
SJG – “That is for sure!!”
JJ – “Thank you for your time, Commissioner.”
SJG – “You are welcome JJ. Have a good fight and a good night!!”We head back to ringside. Bob-Wayne Zim, Dom Epietro and SC Smith at the officials table. Bobby Light, our referee this evening, is going over the match rules for this contest. Spindoctor and Dr. Housequake MD are briefing the medical staff on what to do here tonight. At the announce desk, we see Gordon Carray and “Funk Master” Floyd Cooper. Let’s go to them now!
GC – “Welcome back for another, shall we say dose, of RockFight Saturday Night! We have a anxious crowd tonight. We are about to embark on a long strange trip with this match. What do you think, Funky?”
FM – “I visited the Shaman. The room is electric and I think I can feel the hair on my face growing now. Did I ever mention I love… wait what was that sound… Are you fuckin’ with me Gordo? Did you always have this nose? I can feel the zip code here, I get it now!! Ever see a blue rose up close? Maybe I should go see the Shaman again I don’t think this stuff is working… Did you see the bats by Hunter S. Thompson?”
GC – “Dr. Housequake, can you please help out Funky? He seems to be having a bit of trouble tonight.”
Dr Housequake MD walks over to the announce desk to check on “The Funk Master”.
Dr H – “Ok, Floyd, come with me.”
FM – “Hey, you are are beautiful! I will follow you anywhere.”
Dr H – “I will take care of Floyd, but you will probably need a new color man tonight.
FM – “I’m the color man. I see lots of colors… Red and yellow and blue and… Holy shit look out for the green, the green will get you if you aren’t careful… Hey you are pretty, can I touch your face?”
Dr H – “Sure Floyd, but we have to go now.”
FM – “Bye-bye Gordo. Me and this pretty lady are gonna go see the Shaman and find out why this stuff isn’t working… OOOH I want White Castle, can we go to White Castle, pretty lady?”Dr Housequake MD drags “the Funky One” away as he points at all the colorful bats he sees.
We go to JJ Nagin who is now standing by with the members of the Doors. We see Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger all seated around a large hookah type bong. JJ Nagin is in this hazy, smoky room, trying to not breathe too deeply (or so he will say later), but we aren’t buying it.
JJ – “I’m here with the Doors. Thank you for allowing us to join your pre-fight warm-up. Do you guys have a strategy going into such an unusual match?”
Jim – “We are here to explore and we will do just that. It is a strange thing seeing what others can’t, you dig? I mean the colors aren’t always going kiss you and hug you, sometimes they shake you and try to pull you… Have you met my bong Chloe? She is beautiful.”
Ray – “Jim, get your head in the game, man! We need to show these people that we are going to be the chosen ones tonight, quit babbling about that damn bong and being so damn poetic. We need strength and power tonight — not love and flowers and shit!”
Jim – “Life is love and flowers and shit, man!”
Robby – “Not this damn argument again. Both of you… Let’s act like a team or a band and not lose sight of why we are here. To win, dammit, to win!!!”
John – “Typical, so typical!”
JJ – “Are you guys worried about the Pink Floyd and their strategy?”
Ray – “We don’t worry about things tonight. Tonight we shape the way this match goes. We have nothing but respect for Pink Floyd. In a match like this, every moment can be the most important moment of the match, we will be ready!”
Jim – “Wanna give Chloe a kiss, JJ?”
JJ – “That is all the time we have for this interview, let’s get back to Gordon and I’m told he is with Commissioner Glarms now!”We go back to ringside where Sam J. Glarms has now joined Gordon Carray at the announce desk.
GC – “Thank you JJ, I’m here with Commissioner Glarms. Do we have any word on Floyd yet?”
SJG – “Floyd will be fine. He is under the care of Dr. Housequake MD. But this does leave us a few men down for the broadcast crew. So, I’ll be filling in on color commentary tonight and Dr Timothy Leary will take Dr Housequake’s place for the evening”
The crowd cheers as Timothy Leary joins the Spindoctor at the official ringside table. They both immediately go through their Doctor bags and exchange bottles of pills. They laugh and this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
GC – “It appears as though JJ was unable to get an interview with Pink Floyd, either because they declined or else he is still hanging with the Doors and Chloe in the back. I’m getting word now that the match will begin any moment!”
SJG – “Let’s go to ring announcer Towelie Buffer!”TB – “Welcome Rockers, Peeps and Rock Band Freaks! In tonight’s main event, we have… weighing in at a total of 637 lbs… from Los Angeles, California. Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore… The Doors!”
The crowd goes wild and pyro goes off. We see Jim Morrison standing at the top of the ramp to the cage.
TB – “And from London, England weighing in at 46 Stone… Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and… Syd Barrett. Pink Floyd!!!”The crowd is in awe. They seemed stunned by the fact that we have Syd Barrett with the Pink Floyd not David Gilmour. After the initial shock the roar of the crowd becomes deafening, as Roger Waters take his place next to Jim Morrison at the top of the ramp, under a cloud of sparks and smoke.
TB – “We will have the first 2 entrants start and then a member from one team will enter after three minutes, then three minutes later a member of the other team will enter the cage. The match can only be won when all 8 men have entered the ring. Are You Ready!!!”
GC – “Now both Jim Morrison and Roger Waters will go to the Shaman and drink from his cup, then enter the cell. It has been decided that The Doors will be the first band to enter the cage, giving them a one man advantage for most of this match.
Jim Morrison makes his way down the ramp to meet the Shaman. An old man comes from the tee-pee with a carved bowl in his hands. In this bowl is an ayahuasca brew. Jim takes the bowl from the Shaman and takes a large drink. He appears to reel from the taste a bit, but regains his composure and enters the cell. The cell is a mammoth structure. It is at least 20 feet tall and it covers the ring and a 12 foot space around the ring. The tie-dye and LED light bars are a great combination, although certainly distracting, even in a sober state. Well… if there was a sober person here, we could test that theory, but we will just assume so.
Roger Waters now makes his way to the Shaman’s tee-pee. Roger tips back the bowl and takes a large swig from the bowl or large cup. He is visibly shaken by the taste and the quick effects of the brew. He carefully enters the cage. As soon as the door shuts behind him, the light bars begin to pulsate with light as the house lights go down.”
SJG – “Looks like the match is on. Both men look like the Shaman’s brew is hitting them hard. Jim is seated on the floor next to the ring. Roger Waters has climbed into the ring and is lying down in the center of the ring staring up at the light bars that make up the top to the cage. I hope these guys can handle their buzz!”
GC – “We see a large clock appear on the big screen. It is counting down from 3:00 minutes. Both men are still just trying to gain composure and get on top of the drug that is clearly all on top of them now. Jim is now crawling around on the ringside floor inside the cell. I have no idea what he is doing. Roger sits up in the ring as the clock hits 00:14. He makes his way to his feet as the crowd counts down.”10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
A loud burst of pyro startles everyone in the arena! Ray Manzarek is making his way to the Shaman, who is waiting for him with his dose. Ray quickly downs the mixture and charges the ring.
GC – “Ray Manzarek hit the ring like a house of fire. He hits an unsuspecting Roger Waters with a stiff clothesline. He picks him up and as he sets up a body slam, he begins to laugh. We see Roger tickling him. He quickly drops Waters and rolls around on the floor laughing. Jim has somehow found a small toy piano at ringside. He is now playing it badly. Ray hears the keys and immediately jumps up. He rushes to take the small piano from Morrison. He begins to play on it.”
We hear a loud buzzing and the clock hits 10 seconds left. The crowd counts it down 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
Out of the back comes Richard Wright. He is carrying a small casio keyboard in his hands. He meets the Shaman and drinks his dose. He methodically enters the ring. Jim and Roger are just sitting on the mat listening to Ray plays that little toy piano.
GC – “Richard Wright takes a seat face to face with Ray Manzarek. Oh my god, it looks like it is keyboard duel time. Both men play back and forth trying to out-do one another. Jim and Roger have had enough keys. They both begin to climb the cage. Jim falls down and lays in a heap laughing. Roger sees an opening in the top of the cage. He crawls through and is now perched on top of this giant structure looking down as the clock hits :10 again.”
The crowd counts it down 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
John Densmore is the next fighter to enter the cage. He get his dose and enters the cage carrying a set of bongos. He sits next to the key players and joins in on the jam.
GC – “Jim Morrison may have passed out. He is just lying there now. Roger Waters is now laying face down on the top of the cage watching the jam from up above. The jam is a steady beat and the players are deep into the sounds. Jim Morrison is up again. He appears to be leaving the cell. He walks up to the Shaman and starts to speak to him. We can only imagine what the conversation is about. The Shaman give Jim a second dose from the cup. He takes the drug, makes a bad taste face and starts to climb the outside of the cage. He is headed to the top. The 10 count hits again!”
The crowd counts it down 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
Nick Mason is on the ramp. He also has bongos. He stops to get his drink from the Shaman’s cup. He dashes into the ring. He is now standing above the 3 musicians who are just jamming out.
GC – “Looks like Nick wants to join the jam. He watches for a minute or so. Nick Mason blasts John Densmore with the bongos. He starts to hit Ray Manzarek with some very hard kicks and stomps. Richard Wright stands and joins his bandmate in pummeling the Doors guys. He smashes the Casio keyboard over Ray’s head. Plastic is flying about as he hits him repeatedly with the keyboard. Up on top of the cell Roger watches, unaware Jim Morrison has snuck up to the top of this structure too. As he reaches Roger, the clock goes off again!”
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
the crowd counts it down, as we see Robby Krieger at the top of the Ramp with a sitar in his hands. The Shaman administers his dose and Robby begins to play the sitar, before even entering the cage. The cage’s light bars seem to be in tune with the sitar as it pulses along to the sounds
SJG – “Whoa, that is crazy and cool!”
GC – “Looks like our commissioner may have tested the Shaman’s brew.”
SJG – “Gordon!!! Let’s not get into that. Let me be amazed, you had a little too.”
GC – “Good call chief! Back to the action! The sitar is hypnotic with the lights. Let’s just leave it at that. Jim Morrison has now laid down next to Roger Waters and is enjoying the show. Roger has, however, started to stand. He viciously stomps away at Jim Morrison. He sets him up for a suplex. Oh my god the cage roof broke free as they hit it with the suplex. Both men crash to the mat with a thud.”The crowd chants…
Holy Shit!!!
Holy Shit!!!
Holy Shit!!!The clock reaches 10 again. The crowd counts down 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
Syd Barrett is at the top of the ramp holding a mirror. Both men who fell from the top of this cell are a pile in the ring and the crowd is just stunned by what has happened. Syd makes his way to the Shaman, takes the cup, gulps down some of its contents and takes the cup and the mirror into the ring.
That is all the time we have for tonight!!! Join us Saturday for the exciting conclusion to
RockFight Saturday Night : The Doors vs. Pink Floyd
