skidder652003 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 oooeeer missus! Actually at last rehersal we have managed to shoe-horn in The Tramps Disco Inferno as an introduction to Sabbaths NIB, just wondering what other unusual mashups people are "slipping in"?

Monkey Steve Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Punk covers band (me playing guitar) 1. Bass intro to Walk On The Wild Side in to Jilted John; 2. We always ended gigs with (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) and much to the disgust of the punk crowds we'd end it with the main riff from Smoke On The Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We used to do The Joker by Steve Miller and slip in a touch of Don't Fear The Reaper. A chum of mine used to play organ at a church I went to and would improvise around a classical piece for the collection. After the service when we were having coffee I would be challenged to identify the "classic" on which his variation might be based... "Money makes the world go round", "Money, Money, Money", "Ain't too proud to beg", "Money" (Pink Floyd or Flying Lizards versions), "Ain't nothin going on but the rent"... convinced no one else in the congregation sussed.

Trueno Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We also had a church organist as a keyboard player. Sometimes we would play Johnny B Goode in the encore. He would slip in some JS Bach in a solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 In the chorus after the middle 8 in Counting Stars by One Republic we normally (audience dependent) go into The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang for 16 bars, sits nicely and normally raises a smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom skool Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The into of Tom pettys American girl in the intro of the strokes' last nite. I used to sing talking heads' road to nowhere' over ' in the morning' by razorlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeystrange Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 In one of my old bands we wrote a happy, bouncy pop song. We would sometimes play the intro to For Whom The Bell Tolls then go into our song. Then back to For Whom The Bell Tolls for the middle part. Then back into our pop song for the last chorus. We also did similar with Raining Blood. We just liked to annoy the metal heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROConnell Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 A Royal Blood-esque version of Come Together. If you think about that bass riff, with some nasty fuzz on top and a huge drum sound, that's what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Used to do the intro to Brown Eyed Girl (audience would groan) but then straight into Lip Up Fatty. Crowd pleaser - don't know why we stopped doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) When we're playing the big atmospheric into to Another Brick In The Wall, our singer will often start singing the beginning of Bootylicious by Destiny's Child (the "Beyonce, can you handle this" etc. bit) but substituting in the names of our band's members. Normally raises a smile . Edited October 29, 2016 by Painy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panamonte Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Our Zeppelin medley of Heartbreaker/Whole Lotta Love makes a handbrake turn into Gay Bar. Goes down well with the punters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Had great fun doing Grease. The guitarists and I had a running bet on how many Zep quotes we could fit in. Guitar 1 took the prize when he opened his solo in Grease Lightening on the final night with a perfectly executed Black Dog riff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lefrash Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 My band from school (so 19 years ago) stuck in the solo section from the dream theater tune 'under a glass moon' into 'message in a bottle'. Mainly because the drummer and guitarist could play it! 😂 would love to hear that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I was in an originals band once where I used to play the theme from Steptoe & Son as the intro to one of their songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
