essexbasscat Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 It's coming up a lot less now, but my loathing for Mustang Sally is eternal. I've noticed my head sag forward and down in response to requests for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjm Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I play originals and I hate a couple of our older songs. We play death metal and have slowly progressed from melodic death to blackened death so the change is obvious. I, as the songwriter, really hate the change in dynamics between songs in our set. I'm hoping when we release our EP we will abandon the old style. Luckily we aren't having much luck with gigs at the moment so I don't have to play them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyg42 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Sex on Fire,Dakota and bloody Freebird which to me sounds pants as we only have one guitard but every pub we do wants to hear it. Admittedly he's a bloody good guitard and me and the keys try to back him up as best we can but it just doesn't do it for me. Just started doing Hero, Nickelback/Chad Kroeger and that is starting to grate as well! Still, the other 30+ songs are good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblin Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 To be honest I hated the majority of the set, hence why I left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) From my last band that I quit, that I now dep for! ....That perennial favourite 'Mustang Sally', 'Unchain my Heart' , 'Hey Baby', 'Love Me Do' & 'Sweet Home Chicago' - all standard working mens club fodder.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 The band that I rejoined after quitting have got 'just a day' by feeder,'sweet child of mine' and some foo fighters to be learnt . But me and Mr. Drums are gonna say ''no!'' The song that pi***s me off at the moment is 'somebody told me' by the killers. One minute we were gonna do it, then we weren't. I can play the intro fine,but without realising it I was overfilling the chorus ,making it sound s**te. As for the bridge..? If we mess this up next gig, then I suggest this goes down on the hate list. Thankfully ,we're not a 'brown eye'd girl/Mustang Sally' sort of band, but we do 'pork and beans(which hardly anyone seems to know) and 'tie your mother down'.. Think we'll end up giving 'I predict a riot' a rest too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 As much as I like 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number', I've played it on every gig for almost 14 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepurpleblob Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 "I predict a riot". Mostly because it's a thrashed through set closer. The song actually has some subtlety to it but not the way we play it. It's more embarrassing than hateful to be honest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Our band insists on doing 2 Sham 69 numbers in the classic punk tribute section of the gig. I bloody hate those songs - "kids r united" and "We're all going down the pub." They seem to be real drunk lads anthems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 As I'd only recently joined a standard covers band, I didn't think I'd have a say yet but I've already got "On the road again" and "I'd rather go blind" dropped The latter being so boring , I started to add the hammond with my right hand while the keys player played sax. Still, they're gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Sex on Fire - even the Kings don't like playing that one! Also, one which I think we'll have to do, Celebration Time, not looking forward to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin E Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 On a topical note no one's mentioned the 'C' word yet. With Christmas coming up and gigs in the offing my function band is again having to gloomily contemplate putting at least a couple of 'Christmas' numbers in the set. So, my pet hate is playing any 'Christmas' number ever done by any artist - they are all without exception appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a stupid song with a stupid bassline. Punters seem to like it though.[/quote] Hate that repeated slide up at the end. I dread anything by The Doors (I know it was keyboard on the records) and Status Quo. I like a lot of Quo songs but the bass lines are just mind-numbing (and finger-numbing).

bartelby Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 The band I joined used to play a cover of Racey's Some Girls, When I say cover I mean they've taken the lyrics from that and mashed a few Ramones tracks together to form some kind of bastard child. I refuse to play it, mainly because I have some metal block and can never remember how it goes. On the subject of christmas tunes, we have a song called Christmas Sucks.
