Same Meme, New Twist...

...and a testament to the fact I have too much time on my hands that I have created so many characters to a deep eneough depth to be able to do this.

The following are all lines from the theme songs of my roleplay characters, live and tabletop, past, present and future. Credit is gained for naming the song, bonus marks for (if you don't already know it) taking a stab at the character they represent - We have TL, LT, Shadowrun and Exalted ones to choose from.

1) It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get.
- Meatloaf - Life Is A Lemon (1998 Arrangement), guessed by indigogecko (just before _peter got there).
- Theme song of Daenaram Fearsbane, a scout, TL.

2) They murdered X, and tried to blame it on Islam.
- Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up, guessed by _peter
- Theme song of Timothy Jared "TJ" Dyson, an asshole, Shadowrun

- Motorhead - The Game, guessed by duke_of_krondor

6) Whispering secrets in rain.

7) To those who ground me, take a message back from me.
- Wicked - Defying Gravity, guessed by an indigogecko/vivelabagatelle combo.
- Theme song of Tarryn Dreamweave, A ritualist, third in the LT queue.

8) It ain't easy livin' free, season ticket on a one way ride.
9) My Shangri-La, I can't forget.
10) Lived and learned from fools and from sages.
11) The one full of promise, and the one I knew would hurt.

12) Every time I hear my name, it sounds like a symphony.
- Jim Johnson - I Got It All, guessed by duke_of_krondor

*cracks knuckles* RIGHT then. Though I'm aware this is kind of more a memory test than hazarding a guess, as you've talked about it often enough with me!

1) Meat Loaf, Life is a Lemon. 80's remix for preference, and I believe that's Daen if memory serves.
3) I have no idea what the song is, but I'd pin it on a Dark Hunter any day.
7) Defying Gravity from Wicked. can't remember the character.
13) Burn by Jo Dee Messina (or the other one who did it), and I'd say Vexarius (sorry if that's spelled wrong) but I thought that was Fire.
14) is Live and Let Live, Beatles. HAS to be Juilin.
15) Rutter Requiem: Kirie. Fallenaire (spelling again).

That's more than my fair share but I missed out on most of the last lot.

1 - Correct on both accounts.
3 - Not Mindstalker, though he's in there somewhere.
4 - Music obviously right.
13 - Song is right, character is very, very wrong.
14 - Again, correct music, character is so wrong.
15 - Spot on.

[magicaddict.livejournal.com]

That's 7 is obviously right, rather than 4.

[indigogecko.livejournal.com]

oh and I know 8 as well! but keeping stum for now.

1) Meat Loaf - Liufe is a lemon
2) Rage Agaiunt the Machine - Wake up

[http://users.livejournal.com/_peter/]

Pisqued Peters should not attempt to leave commednts

[magicaddict.livejournal.com]

Both correct, and there is no good reason why you should know either of the characters, having never met them.

[drabbit.livejournal.com]

14 is Live And Let Die and I'd say was Tiny.
5 has to be TJ, though I don't know the song.

[magicaddict.livejournal.com]

14 is correct, but not Tiny - that said, I don't think I've ever gone that far along my LT queue with you, so you wouldn't know.

5 is a guy like TJ, but I was more generic when picking his theme.

Elpheba! Elpheba! Elpheba!

AAhrm. What I mean to say was, "Num ber seven is "defying gravity" from Wicked

[magicaddict.livejournal.com]

Yup.

3) I am your pain, and I know you can't take me.

The Game
I'm assuming the Motorhead version as it's better then the Drowning Pool Version

[duke-of-krondor.livejournal.com]

12) Every time I hear my name, it sounds like a symphony.

I got it All (Billy Gunn's theme, and I'd presume Juilin)
by....well it doesn't actually say on the theme tune.

oh, and The Game is a great song to play before you go out and GM :)

[magicaddict.livejournal.com]

Music correct (I heard Drowning Pool's version, thought it sucked, then listened to some more by them and thought that sucked too) in both cases, and a correct guess of Juilin.

6) Evanescence, Rain - I'm guessing Nimbus?

[magicaddict.livejournal.com]

Close enough, and correct character.
