What cover do you enjoy playing the most?

[xgsjx]

Doesn't neccessaraly have to be a cover band. My past few bands have been originals bands that chuck in 1 or 2 covers that aren't played like the original.

[KevB]

Hang on, I'm supposed to be [i]enjoying[/i] this stuff? I'm in the wrong band...

[FinnDave]

One we always enjoy playing, and goes down well with audiences is [url="https://soundcloud.com/finndave-1/my-dog"]our version of Elvin Bishop's 'My Dog'[/url], Very little similarity to the original!

[Mr Stinky]

Anything with open strings, so I can do a lot of pointing.

[Mr Stinky]

Or.

Stupid Girl and Pretty Fly For A White Guy.

[chaypup]

Really enjoying playing Snarky Puppy's 'Gone Under' at the moment, even though it's easy as chips.

[Norris]

Current band favourite is Witch Queen of New Orleans by Redbone, re-arranged and extended to suit our guitar-bass-drums trio

Edit:
or Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile)

Feeders "Buck Rogers" and "Tobacco Road" in the Dave Lee Roth styley are both smile inducers at the moment.

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Mine is Heard It Through The Grapevine - played in the CCR style. So much room to play around with the bassline.

[KevB]

Actually I quite enjoyed it on Saturday when we decided to throw in the Arctic Monkey's version of Drake's 'Going Home' as a final encore. Considering we'd only briefly discussed doing it after the previous gig and didn't rehearse it at all in advance it didn't sound too shabby and the audience got into the groove with it.

This one.... Just love the grungey feel and some great-sounding guitar chords:

[PaulWarning]

My Way done Sex Pistols style

[topheteatwo]

Territorial Pissings is always great fun, Waiting Room by Fugazi has a great bass line which is great to play and War Pigs is a classic!

[gapiro]

Really loving doing "Runaway Baby" at the moment (Bruno Mars)

[tauzero]

Gigwaise, I think my favourite is "She sells sanctuary". Certainly not a complex bassline but with lots of energy if played a little faster than the original.

I also enjoy Feeder's "Feeling a moment" for rather different reasons - I find it rather satisfying to play and there's room for some passion.

I'm quite enjoying We Close Our Eyes at the moment.

Call Me is good fun to play too but my fav at the moment it Rio

[BassBunny]

With the Function Band it would have to be either Ain't no Stoppin us Now (McFadden & Whitehead) or September (Earth Wind & Fire).
With the get together once in a while Jazz/Fusion band, either Cold Duck Time (Al Jarreau version) or Cissy Strut (The Meters)

Definitely agree (apart from the going faster than the original bit - couldn't manage that! ). I like it cos I can do a bit of headbanging during the long drum fill when I'm not actually playing.

My other fave is Heart Shaped Box. I love all the string bending business. We don't do it that often though, due to the down tuning. Neither I nor guitarist are very good at down tuning quickly

[Jonesy64]

We are running through some new songs for the new year and I am loving Suspect Device - SLF.

[Kinder]

[sup][size=3]Slightly ashamed to say it's currently All Night Long by Lionel Richie. We gigged it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it went down a storm, best reaction of the night by a mile. Very dull bass line but loved watching the drunken dancing.[/size][/sup]

[ezbass]

Ooh that's toughie, I can't pick just one. Current faves are: I'm Gonna Tear Your playhouse Down; Sledgehammer and Babooshka.

[BassistInTheNorth]

Won't Get Fooled Again. Great fun and audience reaction is always fantastic!

[SlapbassSteve]

Crazy In Love by Beyonce- The bassline in the original doesn't actually do anything in the verses, so I try and shoehorn in a different classic riff or two every gig in to raise a knowing smile from my bandmates. Current favorites to chuck in include Jungle Boogie, Come Together, and Moby Dick/Black Dog/The Ocean... sad thing is the crowd are usually none the wiser!

[skej21]

Reeling in the Years - Steely Dan. Just a great tune.

[Oopsdabassist]

Love doing Pinball Wizard, our lead guitarist nails the energy of Mr Townsend and I love the ox's approach on this tune.
