Gig coming up. What songs are well-known, but not too well known and shit?

[Brawkoli]

[QUOTE=Doriol;17188557]Open with John Cage's 4'33''.[/QUOTE]

This.
Definitely this.

[DaveP]

Play songs you like to listen to.

[QUOTE=Water|Marine;17189007]
Or Sultans of Swing by the Dire Straits. Your choice.[/QUOTE]

Played that, nice fun track, everyone in the band has a bit of creative freedom to mess around with and the vocals aren't too straining (We had Bass, Lead, Rhythm, Drummer, Keyboard)

[TheDKer]

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;17181305]We do play that, it's our best song.

Also link me to the video of the HAARP.

I play my own solo for it.[/QUOTE]

not all of them, just do one

they aren't exactly obscure, but if you're a teenager it will be fresh enough for the meat of the crowd

Clever idea, but you'd probably get heaps of walk outs before the song's over

[pyrofiliac]

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;17189125]Rock the casbah[/QUOTE]

yes

[Pepin]

Electric Funeral by Black Sabbath or maybe Be Quick Or Be Dead by Iron Maiden. Great songs that nobody knows in my area.

I need a tab I don't know which notes they are to give the hammer-on effect.

[Patjo_sweden]

play Bass Communion - Pacific Codex

[TheDKer]

The Resistance by Muse got leaked, you could play some of their new stuff before people know of it [url]http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DCEB4A0052094E15[/url]

Unnatural Selection could be cool

A very big iinfluence, the first time I heard that song I thought it was the twin brother of Stockholm Syndrome.

And for something interesting the OP can do, get a popular song and play it with a different genre from the original. Like a punky Living on a Prayer.

It's sure to make people laugh.

I agree with this man.

Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat" with death metal vocals. Instead of a catchy looped beat use a killer repeated riff.

Do it.
