chris_b Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I really hate Red House! How about Won't Back Down - Tom Petty. Anything by Bad Company. Badge and White Room - Cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkonthehill Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 im assuming you missed the 'modern' and 'popular' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Munk As you and I play the same sort of boozers (have been offered a gig or two in the Dakota down your way). Sorry if these are on the lists already mentioned. Anything by The Killers Anything by Kings of Leon Jenny dont be hasty by Paulo Nutjob (the women love it) Folsom prison blues by Johnny Cash-trust me, 2nd set, everbody pissed, killer! These songs have been scientificaly tested on the pub goers of the West of Scotland by us! Ones to avoid....I know, we tried em recently and they died on their ar*e! Play that funky music Anything by Biffy Clyro Innocent by Stereophonics Burn baby burn by Ash. The drummer picked this one, says it all! Hope that helps.

FuNkShUi Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 New song we added that people seem to love is "sweet disposition" by Temper track. I think its because people dont expect bands to cover it. We have no keyboard player, but our guitard plays with decay and to be fair to him, sounds pretty good. Always see peoples faces light up when they realise what it is. Stupidly easy on bass too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom in Dorset Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Bowie's "Star Man" you can see people's faces during the intro and first verse looking puzzled -they know this song but what is it? When the chorus comes in that look changes to "Oh wow! It's that one!" if they are p1ssed enough they all join in on the nah nah nah bit. It's a bitch to play and requires the vocal range of a god.

In the very, very old but still good department check out Fish Fry by Tom Principato It's a version of Louis Jordan's Saturday night fish fry from the 40's but it's got a modern blues trio feel. That seems to fit what you have in your set currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
