Songs you play when you've just got in from the pub

[far0n]

Obviously you're drunk. therefore no Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten or Level 42. Strangely I like to sit down and play On The Beach by Chris Rea. Fab little laid back affair, just the right tempo for a pissed person to drag themselves through. For the record it has to be the extended album version. Headphones are compulsory so you don't wake the neighbours up !

[skankdelvar]

Ramonesmania, Highway to Hell, Led Zep IV, Who's Next...that sort of stuff....lots of air guitar, trip over the headphones lead...

...then fall asleep on the sofa.

Joan Armatrading - The Shouting Stage
Stick that on and mellow out until my eyelids droop
Yeah I'm posting post-pub so I may regret this

[johnnylager]

AC/DC - Back in Black, of course. Doesn't everyone?

[Lifer]

To play would be How Many More Times or some Clutch. To listen to would be Down, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity or the majick Mystik Krewe of Klearlight.

[Oscar South]

Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrel is great post-pub music, I also enjoy listening to Red Sparowes, Rush or King Crimson.

[Deep Thought]

Best of the Doors-especially Riders on the Storm.

[bluesparky]

All of "one hot minute" album by Chili peppers - easy, and fun to play.
Also, sympathy for the devil is another.

[Delberthot]

I tend to go through Youtube watching Bon Scott AC/DC concert videos, some Pink Floyd / Roger Waters and strangely enough, the Buddy Rich tribute concert.

[Cornfedapache]

Could be anything - Portishead perhaps. Pink Floyd's always a favourite. So's Bat for Lashes.

Or the Bloodhound Gang if I'm feeling really perky...

You lot can play when you get home from the pub?

Christ... after a few pints, my basses all become twelve stringers in some ancient tuning.

Same here, i usually put on Dr Feelgoods Milk and Alcohol. and end up making a balls of it. i always thought Wilko Johnson played guitar on that track.but it seems Gypie Mayo did it. you learn something every day.

[Protium]

Anything by Venetian Snares

You are missing a word... THINK
Yeah when I get home from the pub I THINK I can play and the Joan Armatrading track I mentioned is a nice slow number so I have plenty of time to hit the chord changes and sometimes I get it right

Hahahah.

That's obviously where I'm going wrong. I'm not drunk enough to think I'm playing properly.

[leschirons]

Has to easy listening for me. Last time was the best of Carole King.

Hey... wha' d'ya mean "obviously"...? Are you intoxicating that I'm insinuated!?! <hic>
Seriously though, I have to say I don't get in drunk after a gig. I simply can't afford to lose the old driving license otherwise it's pretty much goodbye music career!!
The only thing that goes on after a gig is the kettle! Followed by the computer (to check email). Followed by, if anything, something on the laid-back side. A bit of Joni, maybe. Or maybe a bit of Latin/Jazz. It's probably 2 or 3am after all!

Cheerzzzzz,
Steve

Depends what you mean by play, really. If it's play as in CD, it's usually something dubby/trancy like Jah Wobble or Bill Laswell. If it's play as in bass, it's inevitably blues. Usually something by Muddy Waters.
