Sarging, the Band!!

[hooks]

I played drums for 13 years, was in 4 bands and had a scholarship to college (which I turned down) but haven't played in over 10 years. Not sure I am what you are looking for but I might be able to pull it off if no one else steps up.

I have been wanting to get back into playing

at your worst youre sure to be a better drummer than i am a bassist... i can probably get by ok so im sure you will be fine... the rythm section is coming out of retirement!

SWEEI!!! We have a band! Now, what about equipment? Twitchy, do you have access to a kit? What kind of amps and guitars do we have? Anyone got a sound board? Mics? A place to practice?(cant use my place).

sympathy for the devil will be on the play list... can we pull off Freebird?

If you want HBs, you should learn to play "Jessie's Girl."

I'm not a shredder. I'm more bluesy/funky rock. It would probably be best to start out with something simple and play it really well. I'm way too rusty to break into Eruption in front of an audience.

Here's my first suggestion: a heavy cover of "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel.

As far as equipment. I only have a Mesa Rect-o-Verb 50 Watt (a surprisingly powerful 50 Watt, but still a 50 Watt). It would be good for a garage band, but not for playing out.

no origional stuff?

neuromancer i thought you liked punk rock

[Neuromancer]

If you want to write original stuff, I'm game, and yes I am into punk and there is a Pulp song on the list: Common People. I don't generally look at punk for something to sing, so I didn't put much on my list. BTW it is just my suggestions and not the official song list. My tastes as far as what I would want to do on stage go to the classic and southern rock genres. It is also the most generally liked and therefore the most palatable for everyone else involved.

Stuff I didn't put up is country Depeche Mode, Enjoy the Silence would go great with a steel guitar, I could go for Too Drunk To Fuck from DK, the Love Spit Love version of How Soon is Now. I would also throw in Everybody Wants to Be a Cat from the Aristocats.

When we sit down and work up a song list that is palatable for everyone involved we will know what kind of band we are, but I get the feeling we will probably lean to classic rock cover band.

I would like to come up with an NLP laden original song eventually. It must be done.

Oh, and Billy Idol is punk.
