Awful Overplayed Dadrock Mafia [sign-ups]

#1

A burglary Mafia game for a minimum of 7 players (any number beyond that is gravy)

The setup is closed. It won't be vanilla-heavy. The time and date of the game are very much open to discussion.

Let's play this thing and get a game moving. We're The Syndicate! We play Mafia!

The cycles will likely be 20 minute days and 10 minute nights, with a 10 minute (or so) Day 0 to get everyone situated.

Yall aint have to do my boy [mention]Epignosis[/mention] like this.

I like The Eagles and Hotel California is their best album. The song itself opens a semi-conceptual album about greed, sex, addiction, and the constant craving for more. "The Last Resort" that closes the album is the perfect conclusion to it.

I actually agree. I can't tolerate the title track anymore because of classic rock radio (that's not the song's fault), but there are good moments. I like "Try and Love Again" especially.

It's too bad Randy Meisner really didn't like singing in front of people.

Regarding the title track, I think the final line before the guitar solo is perfect given the concept of a hotel and the theme of addiction: "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

That's just good writing.

If you want some hate, however, here is a list of bands I almost always change the channel if they come on:

The Rolling Stones
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Doors
AC/DC
The Grateful Dead
Guns N Roses
Bon Jovi

These just off the top of my head.

More like a buncha old people music

I was going to make a joke about how I always assumed Hotel California was about cannibalism but then I checked and it turns out this is a real thing some people think it is about.

It's also about the church of Satan.

(Although, in a roundabout way, they are right, if you consider Anton LaVey's moral philosophy)

Hello friends

Hi Made

I'd like to play. Any ideas when the game might run?

Probably next week, unless we have seven people and can roll either tonight or tomorrow night.

Thank you. They won't stop playing, even on my modern/all eras rock station. Every commute. Every time it's on. These two.

How has nobody mentioned CCR yet

CCR is okay because all of their songs are like two minutes.

I'd swap Lynyrd Skynyrd for the Door, personally.

I can likely play this coming Sunday if you guys try for that day. Preferably early.

#19

Can i get an opinion on Whitesnake, mafia dads?

#20

I will NOT stand for a thread that both endorses The Eagles and slanders Bruce Springsteen

#21

#22

I actually like Desperado but that’s the only ground I’ll cede.

#23

This weekend won't be possible. Sometime during the week next week or next weekend would be more ideal.

#24

hotel california is actually a song written about a real hotel that bernie leadon stayed at that just really sucked real bad. he told me himself.

i'd like to play this game if schedule allows

#25

It's been a torrent couple of weeks, but if y'all want to play this thingy any time soon, let me know!

#26

Any odd days this month are free for me

#27

Who's game to do this during the coming weekend?

#28

#29

If you guys need someone you know how to get a hold of me. Just ping me. If necessary text me Jay.

Question for the field:

If "Hotel California" had been written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagan, and had been created by Steely Dan, would your opinion of the song be different?

Why or why not?

It'd be a bizarre departure from their norm, which might make it more interesting. If the Steely Dan version was played as much on the radio as the Eagles version though it wouldn't matter. Burn it all.

Steely Dan wrote about addiction, excess, and the irony of having things go you way. How is that a departure from their norm?

I am referring to the sonic qualities of Steely Dan music rather than the lyrical content.

No. It was fine the first few times I heard it, but hearing it ad infinitum over the years has made me really detest mostly everything about how it sounds. Not big on that main riff or the chorus.

#35

How about this coming weekend then?

#36

Sunday might work.

Works for me.

#39

I voted "maybe" because I'm down but don't intend to keep checking this to know whether I'm available for the next date or not.

So just tag me when it's about to happen and I'll say if I can play.

This sunday I'll be busy after 5 PM EDT, otherwise it's cool.
