We just went out and bought a killer PA, we are anxious to get out there. Gotta play to the crowd though.

[Artmageddon]

Your suggestions so far that we could possibly do:

and no, I won't try to do zeppelin. I'm a baritone, not a tenor.

I only picked out specific songs mentioned. just add to this please. Thanks!

Oh, and I'm hoping we can be the official OR event band, hint, hint.

Nutshell Alice in Chains

Weezer - Say it aint so

Uncle Cracker 'follow me

Oasis - Wonderwall

Unwritten Law save me

[jagr]

aww... I'm sorry kiddo... have a concert, I'll come and cheer on the hot drummer and singer ESPECIALLY if you sing some unwritten law

[V4junkie]

Radiohead - Reckoner

Love me some Radiohead (excluding Creep), but maybe too obscure...

Fuel - Shimmer

You need a shtick, rickroll the audience at some point in the show.

i love this idea

[Artmageddon]

i love watching cover bands! and i go to drink dance and have a goodtime. the band i go to see on a regular basis sounds like what you are trying to go for. so here is the bands they cover.

AC\DC, Aerosmith, Alice in Chains, Autograph, Bad Company, Badfinger, Billy Idol, Billy Squire, Blackfoot, Black Sabbath, Blur, Bob Seger, Bon Jovi, BTO, CCR, Cheap Trick, Collective Soul, Danzig, Def Leppard, Dire Straits, Foghat, Foo Fighters, Free, Golden Earring, Great White, GreenDay, Guns n Roses, Jackyl, Jet, John Cougar, Judas Priest, Kiss, Led Zepplin, Lenny Kravitz, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica, Nazareth, Ozzy Osborne, Quit Riot, Rod Stewart, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Sweet, Ted Neugent, The Beatles, The Eagles, The Darkness, The Doors, The Godz, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy, Tom Petty, Tommy Tutone, Trouper, Van Halen, WhiteSnake, ZZ Top

now i will say the crowd favorites are ac dc, jet, foo fighters, billy idol, beastie boys, and green day, they really seem to be the ones that when im out on the dance floor it seems to fill up around me.

hope that helps.

Lots of bands in here we can and like to play. Any specific song requests that you like to dance to?

x eleventy billion to both!

[cmoosego]

you should be able to pull off some doors action.... you got the range as a baritone

I'm a big Doors fan, we'll do Roadhouse Blues, maybe Light my Fire, but most of the other good songs are too long. The End is one my all time favorites, but as a cover and the fact that I will not be hypnotizing the audience because I am not Jim Morrison, it may put people to sleep.

[max power]

I heard The End in a Taco Bell once. Weird. The old people were looking around like WTF?

[Big Speazy]

FREEBIRDDDDD!!!!!!!!!

ha Classic

[Big Speazy]

Hey Ya, outkast has some pretty easy chords on geet... I'm sure you might be able to fill in with the rest minus keyboards, and andre 3000.

Just to throw a curveball into a show.

[Artmageddon]

I think we have an Outkast song in the mix; I haven't done it, but I'm still pretty new with these guys. I don't sing on a few songs, so it may still be in there. We do have keyboards as well on a few songs, so not a problem.

Any more suggestions? In this situation, female opinions go to the top of the list, so girls, speak up.

It's just how being in a cover band works. You get girls come to dance, guys come to hit on girls, guys buy lots of alcohol for the girls and courage to dance, good alcohol sales mean we get to back and play there again and get paid.

Now if we were playing in a roomful of guys, we may play some stuff that we normally wouldn't, and we are trying to prepare for that as well.

I'm kinda hoping the OR crowd will be regulars at the shows as well, so we are taking your suggestions seriously.

MJ, Save Me went over well with the other guys, so it will be in the list soon.

I don't really see us being a shtick band like Naked Karate Girls. I know that brings a crowd too, but we are hoping that a showed played well, upbeat, and good production will overcome lack of trying to be silly. Don't get me wrong; we are all about having fun and getting the crowd going, I just don't see us dressing up in bunny costumes or running around in bikini underwear.

Could you cover this?

Skip the 2 minutes of white guy pimpage.

[Artmageddon]

J, could do that for sure. I like it. Never heard it before, but actually think it was in the set list before I joined. My bassist would go crazy to do this, this is his type music.

BTW, the hookup in the beginning was just painful to watch, and I was fast forwarding through it. That guy is lucky he is rich, or he would never get any if that is how talks to girls.
