post by Sacreligion at May 6,2008 11:22pm edited May 6,2008 11:24pm

Fiona Apple - Criminal
Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive
Sade - No Ordinary Love
The Toadies - Backslider
Esthero - Heaven Sent
Squeeze - Tempted
Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty
Toto - Africa
Silverchair - Tomorrow
Aerosmith - Seasons of Wither
PJ Harvey - C'mon Billy
Flight of the Conchords - The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room
Brother Cane - And Fools Shine On
The Outfield - Your Love
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze
Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
Blind Melon - No Rain
Berlin - The Metro
Mazzy Star - Halah
Radiohead - Karma Police

I know you guys got some good ones.

post by Sacreligion at May 6,2008 11:26pm

We have a couple maybe songs as well that we can't get to work right (either the one guitar isn't enough or there are weird harmonies going on or something along those lines):

AIC - Got Me Wrong
Deftones - Cherry Waves
Perfect Circle - 3 Libras
Dirty Vegas - Days Go By

i would also request you not cover "the metro" on principle.

post by Sacreligion at May 6,2008 11:34pm

that's one of my favorites! it's like the most metal (playing wise) song that we have. it's like palm-muted down picking the whole time. hahaha

def worth tryin those out. we 've done got me wrong before but for some reason my sis is uncomfortable with the harmonies in the chorus. i don't think she'll be open to the joker though. she's wicked annoyingly picky sometimes.

i know how to play it, but there was a reason we weren't gonna do it. too low-key maybe. there was a point when we had a ton of slower songs and decided to try to step up the tempo on our song choices. i'm still gonna try to convince her to do it though.

not familiar with him, but i will check some shit out. any specific songs you think are better than others?

----------------------------------------------

thanks for the suggestions. keep em coming. i think we're gonna be trying to hit up some places outside worcester over the winter so maybe i'll post the shows on here to see if anyone wants to go. we're better than i bet a lot of you are thinking

i don't necessarily like all of them. we try to find a middle ground on what songs we do and is the problem we have when it comes to learning new songs.

we just play songs man. what the fuck is it to you?

post by Josh_Martin at Nov 7,2008 4:09pm

Don't get sand in your pussy. I was just asking a question and stating an opinion.

Suggestions:
Skynyrd
Zeppelin
Stones

post by Sacreligion at Nov 7,2008 4:13pm

so it's ok for me to say that i think about 90% of anal cunt is garbage? cool.

i tried to get her to do beast of burden by the stones but she wasn't down. i've wanted to do a zep song for a while but am trying to find the right one that works with her voice and won't sound too empty with just the acoustic. i'm all set with the skynyrd covers, shit's a little played out. almost every acoustic cover band i've seen does a skynyrd song.

Get in line.
Of course its ok. Even though I didn't bash whatever band you're in, its still ok to give an opinion. Its a free country.

Find a Skynyrd song no one's covered yet. That AIDS band Shinedown ruined Simple Man. The Obsessed fucked up On The Hunt. But there's a shitload of others. I don't think anyone's done One More Time. That would be perfect.

i'm not familiar enough with the catalogue to really have a good opinion about it. i was just bein a douche for the sake of douchebaggery.

i'll talk to her about the skynyrd song but i doubt she'd go for it. if you couldn't guess, she's responsible for the fiona apple, pj harvey, mazzy star, and whatever other vagina monologue music is on that list. the songs work though and people seem to like em.

Space Cadet? It'd take some tinkering but I could maybe squish the harmonies together into one riff. Good song but it's kinda long and way more instrumental than most of what we do, which because of the one guitar may not translate well.
