Silvia Bluejay Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 @MacDaddy should we also add Let's Dance? (Double sigh.) Quote

Oh well, better get up and make out we’re enjoying it, otherwise they’ll start playing an extended version of smoke on the water or something”. Edited January 10, 2020 by ambient 5 Quote

Silvia Bluejay Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Wouldn't think so, @Newfoundfreedom! That'd need an audience of old metalheads. We're a very fast-dying breed... 1 Quote
Maude Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Why don't cover bands ever do Hocus Pocus by Focus? I would love to see that, and the look on the average punters face. 😆 3 1 Quote

TJ Spicer Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Are we really this many posts in without 'Mr. Brightside' making an appearance?! 🤢 3 1 Quote
mep Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Plenty of AC/DC & War pigs for our punters. Sweet Child too. Forget the usual tosh such as Sex On Fire & Mustang Sally etc that keep getting mention on threads like these. Ultimately is depends on the audience. Quote
Muzz Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) If we're talking the average pub gig, old school heavy metal is completely done in most of the ones we play in, the nearest people want to get is Teen Spirit or Killing In The Name or pretty much anything by the Foo Fighters. I've noticed a lot of the others above becoming less and less popular over the last few years, too...and I'm not sad to see the back of most of them. I spent an awful lot of time in rock clubs in Manchester for an awful lot of years, and even I'm sick of stuff like All Right Now, so the average pub punter under 50 really doesn't want to hear it... Oasis, on the other hand... 😕😀 Edited January 10, 2020 by Muzz Quote
Al Krow Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Don't Stop Me Now - Queen @mcdaddy - dunno if it's worth collating the suggestions into your OP, so that you don't get the 234th suggestion of Valerie as we get to page 33 of this thread? 😁 1 1 Quote
BigRedX Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 And this is why I have almost zero interest in covers bands. I don't think there has been a single song mentioned yet that I would want to have seen/heard being performed by the band that wrote it back in the day when they were still young and sexy, let alone a bunch of middle-aged blokes churring it out in a pub... 5 1 Quote
