ultraman Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 (edited) Hey guys i have a band and we havent been playing any new material recently. Were trying to find some new songs to play because its getting kinda repetitive. We got 2 shows in two weeks but we dont want to play the same old stuff we always do. Anyone got any song suggetions? Any suggestions you can offer would be really appreciated. By the way were about 16 years old each and were playing to 16 year olds just to give you a brief idea of what this is gonna look like. Thanks! Edited November 23, 2004 by ultraman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Cover Barry Maguires cover of PF Slones “Eve of Destruction” The songs probably more relevant today than it was when it was written. Also the first time I heard it was when John Peel played it years ago (and John sadly passed on last month, so I’d be a good little tribute). It doesn’t sound that hard to play, but I could be wrong because I’ve never tried it. Either way, it’s got to be better than yet another smegin Metallica cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLS Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Megadeth is a fine choice, now play Hanger 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Megadeth is a fine choice, now play Hanger 18 good luck with that. Vote number two for some APC or Tool. Nobody can possibly dislike either band's music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StratDudeDan Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 when i think covers, i think songs that aren't already punk or rock, and that shouldn't be. a lot of oldies just plain rock as punk songs, not to mention things with female pop stars as the original artist. not britney, though. her stuff just doesn't work... spice girls are incredible when my band plays 'em. probably the most fun we have the whole night.

ultraman Posted December 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 i want to play holy wars... but my guitarist cant keep up! The intro is pretty fast so were probably gonna choose something a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 i want to play holy wars... but my guitarist cant keep up! The intro is pretty fast so were probably gonna choose something a little easier. not so fast...but very tight.if played properly you have these miniature gaps between the open notes and the hammer ons/offs.it is meant to be a very disjointed(for lack of a better word) rythm,yet played smoothly. hard to describe what i mean.mustaine is the king of that sort of playing style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
