No Stairway and no Free bird.. please...

Whippin post is a great song or that other one Midnight Rider? I will talk to the guys on one of those...

Jeff.. I will check out your recomandations.

I really like the guitar solo in Comfortably numb.. A very cool song I think thats a keeper for sure.

Oneprof,

For the love of god.. Is not as hard as it sounds.. Once
you get the "feel" and "sustain" down its very do-able
give it a try and let it rip! I also love My guitar wants
to kill your mama. Great song! every rock guitar player
can relate to that one :-)

Keep em coming guys...

I need to mix it up but also keep it somewhat mainstream.
How about some Tool? any Tool fans?
Or how about some ZZ so the girls can dance? which song?
What about some Black Crowes? which song?

Parabol and Parabola are an excellent tandem from their latest, but not sure if it's great gig material.

If you're looking at Tool, I'd look at LIbras by Perfect Circle.

Have Fun!

Voodoochile, don't dismiss "Freebird". Once you get a vocalist have him (her?) do it as an unacommpanied solo vocal. At first the audience won't recognize the song, but when they do it will slay them. Check out the ending of the film "Duets" to see how it would go over.

Zstokes.. I agree with you I like the latest Tool too but its just not party/gig material.. I was thinking we could get away with "Aenema". Its funny because we keep saying were gonna do some stuff for the girls but I dont know... We added "7 words" from the Deftones last night. So far its a pretty hard set.. At some point im gonna have to start
putting some softer danceable material in.

I think that song is called "3 Libras" its a really good cut by Perfect Circle. I like anything Maynard works on.. I think he's pretty much the best rock vocalist in the world right now.

Onhwy61,

I was more kidding than anything else. Those are two of the all time greats.. In fact i really think that those two bands(especially Zep)paved the way for all the new stuff..
So i think i speak for the rest of the band too when i say great songs and nothing but respect for artist but doesnt
really fit in with what we to what we want to do...

Its funny you mentioned the girl singer thing.. Because we have a gal that REALLY wants to sing and she is very good (and she's a HOTTIE too) but i dont she will fit in with what we want to do either. But we might try a song or two.. And ask her to do some special apperances... But you never know???

Maybe some Lita Ford? Humm... Now you got me thinking...
That song she did with Ozzy... "close my eyes" would be
a cool slow song to do.

Thanks for input guys. We are having a blast so far :-)

Voodoochile,

I agree with the hardness aspect of Tool.... Edgy dance tunes are kinda tough to come by.

If you are a fan, you might think about some Van Morrison. I dabbled a little on the bass with some guys from college (my talent PLAYING music is quite absent, although I sing listen wonderfully!), and Brown Eyed Girl was always a hit. Maybe some Aerosmith?

Hard to suggest without knowing your taste.

Have fun.
