razze06 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Have you noticed? No less than three bands (including ours - guilty as charged) were practicing this last night, and that's just at the practice room place we use (The Depot in Edinburgh). I blame the acoustic version! I'm trying to push for a stripped down reggae version of it, should spice it up a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 [size=4]I'd never heard this number until we had to learn it for a function just before Christmas. It was easy to learn and play and I liked it. The audience went mad for it, so I'd suggest it's a great number for a cover band.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I do a full on kick ass rock version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razze06 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I also kind of like it, just wondering how the hell is it that EVERY covers band seems to be doing it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I love it, but my band doesn't play it, might be a good suggestion though. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Very weird, over the weekend I was looking for a song to learn to show my 6-year old so he can play along (on his keyboard at the mo, but the bass is sitting there waiting its day), and out of the blue I decided Price Tag would be good. It might be the phase of the moon, or something in the water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) [quote name='razze06' timestamp='1328630817' post='1530339'] We're not all so lucky, Marvin [/quote] You say that but you haven't seen/heard some of the crap she does want to do I'd quite willingly play it if...it was because I was in Jessie J's band . Otherwise any time I've heard a cover of it it hasn't really worked very well. Edited February 7, 2012 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ha. We thought we were being "cutting edge" by learning this one, but apparently not! Seems like you're all doing it. We've also just put in "Pounding" by Doves and "Sweet Disposition" by Temper Trap. They work quite well along side the usual Chilis and Foos stuff.

EdwardHimself Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I hate that song. If I do a cover version I would do it in the style of something completely different. Edited February 7, 2012 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftyhook Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 We do it as part of a medley. dropped it for a while...but it has crept back in. I enjoy it. Muting strings and it's a great one for testing your tightness with the bashy one in the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
