Or do you just have the time it takes to play two songs? If i had to enter in a battle of the bands i would probably do something like Metallica did at the VMA's this year. Im not sure you saw it but they played about 30 seconds of all the most important rock songs this decade (or something like that :hmm: ) And it was good! I am no fan of metallica but i thought it was a great idea! ;) Not sure if that helps.... Michael sunburstbasser 10-30-2003, 07:49 PM If you only have the time for two songs, make them two good ones. Scuttle Buttin'-Stevie Ray Vaughan Backwoods-Red Hot Chilli Peppers If you can play two songs, make them awesome, epic songs. Roundabout-Yes The End-The Doors These are just suggestions, by the way. Jontom 10-30-2003, 11:12 PM Originally posted by SMASH I've always thought it unsporting to do covers in "battle of the bands". What I think is that all the bands should perform the same song and be judged as to how well they perform/inspire/impart their abilites to said cover. It just wouldn't make for a very exciting show!:( |
