Annoying Twit Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Is "I Surrender" the David Sylvian song of that name? I"d guess not, but if it is, I'd really like to hear what a heavy version of it sounds like. If I see a covers band, I want to hear some interesting/obscure choices as well as the obvious stuff. Even if it's a song I haven't heard. For HM, and since you cover Deep Purple, what about Glenn Hughes more recent-ish songs like 'High Road'? Can't find a youtube video of it, but here's 'Soul Mover' from the same album. (Though, I think Soul Mover isn't such a good choice as its a less 'immediate song). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXz6ASogp7w&list=PLowsEZEvFOXhWzPUHl_yXTnRtmVtpciQe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmchich Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 May well cover a lot of the stuff already suggested, but most stuff featured in Guitar Hero/Rock Band could be a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6v6 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Some slightly less-obvious suggestions: Raising Sand - Burn it up, Alchemy or Dirty Weekend The Raging Honkies - Mary Lou Cry Of Love - Highway Jones or Pretty as you please Rival Sons - Pocketful of stones Nazareth - Hair of the dog Turbowolf - Ancient Snake The Temperance Movement - Ain't no telling Rose Tattoo - Rock 'n roll outlaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Savage Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 For SLIGHTLY more modern (and I don't think anyone else has posted 'em yet, apologies if they have), Foo Fighters' or Feeder's rockier stuff seems to go over well (I've seen cracking audience responses to Monkey Wrench/The Pretender/No Way Back and Buck Rogers/Just A Day). \ From my own personal preference, there's some awesome 90s British rock that never seems to make it into cover bands' setlists - there's probably a reason as it might be a bit obscure, but with a late 20s/early 30s rock crowd slipping in a Wildhearts/Terrorvision/Skunk Anansie/Almighty number might push the right buttons. Dammit, now I want to start a covers band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbandit599 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I can see many fun hours ahead researching Youtube for some of these, cheers guys. Disco Tex and the Sex-o-lettes, now that's a tune, can't believe I haven't heard that before. Liking the Rival Sons vid too, haven't been through them all yet. I know the other lads in the band are watching this thread too, so thanks from them as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yepmop Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Don't believe a word - Thin Lizzy Wishing Well - Free Can't Get Enough - Bad Company God gave Rock N Roll to You - Argent Paranoid - Sabbath Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple All reasonably easy and classics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] When I was in a rock covers band we did both Get What's Coming and Pressure And Time and they went down a storm. Both big fun to play bass on, too. Great lines.

peteb Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 A few ones that always went down well and don’t seem to have been mentioned when I was in such a band a couple of years ago: Forever Young (Tyketto) Alive or Evenflow (Pearl Jam) Panama (Van Halen) - a bit obvious but great fun to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy64 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) It's always fun to chuck the odd song in from other genre's but play it the way you play the rest of the set. That Adele song is a good example, the one that got covered by Black Stone Cherry. Daft as it sounds stuff like Abba can sound great rocked up, its fun playing them and everyone in the room will know it. ....and then there's stuff like Slade, T-Rex, Stones, Bowie to lighten things up a bit after an intense Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir medley!! A few from my bands set list that I haven't noticed listed already....she sells sanctuary, l'l Devil, Highway Star, Crazy Train.

dudewheresmybass Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 We have done beat it before. Goes down a storm. We've also thrown the time warp and the xentrix version of ghostbusters for hallowe'en shows. They're always fun to play, which normally means the punter has fun too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
