Ramble On - Led Zepplin
[/quote]
I've been wanting to play that since I first learned it as a teenager. The guitarist that I grew up with learned it, but we never had a band together.

The other song that I've always wanted to play is Shy Boy by Talas (or DLR, or Mr Big). Awesome song to play & looks & sounds 100 times harder than it is.
A recent one that I've learned which I'd like to try is Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus.

We do Sandman - it always goes down a storm. Great to watch a 50+ year old audience headnbanging to it and then pogoing to Pretty Vacant at the end of the set!

I've always had a soft spot for Blitzkrieg - the Metallica cover version :

"White Wedding" (Billy Idol) for me - no idea why I've never been able to sell this to rest of band

[/quote]

Weird isn't it, I get to play this tune practically every gig (actually played it last night)......great crowd pleaser though:)

I've always wanted to play 'Don't stop me now' but never been in a band where the singer could do it justice (and I've been in a few!)

It was Room 335, until I got the opportunity to do it back in December. Since then it's been Street Life by Randy Crawford (which I heard another band doing at the same gig!).

So...who wants to guess what I discovered I'll be playing on Tuesday night's gig? :D

I'd love to play Anchor by Cave In, but it'd fall flat on it's face at our gigs

This video always gives me Gibson Ripper GAS

Always loved that song.

As a bassist it would be Welcome to Paradise

In my current situation (flying solo) it's always been Let's not Sh*t Ourselves by Bright Eyes. I've never found a situation where this one (9+ minutes) would be 'audience appropriate'. Plus I think it would only really work with a full band.

The Jam, Funeral Pyre. Unfortunately, the rest of the band think its a noisy racket! :(

Dreadful state of affairs, I think you need to learn to hypnotise them, Funeral Pyre is a cracking track, and they will benefit greatly from playing it.

We've started doing this one too. Many people only know the second half (the F1 theme) and look a bit confused during the first half. Then the penny drops :D

And it's the easiest bassline, but they react like you're some kind of god.

From a bass point of view Stay Clean by Motorhead, so I could play the great bass solo Lemmy does.

From a song point of view, Swords of a Thousand Men by Tenpole Tudor so I could holler along to the choruses.

Ive done the tenpole Tudor one. ( sorry ;)
