"Practicing" White Wedding, hitting the same note (B) for 8 x ?!? bars, I am thinking to myself... is there anything more boring to play?
The little intro is cute and fun, but that's it. It comes back for 2 bars, and then back to root 8.
And there is nothing else you can play... If you over complicate it, it becomes a different song.
Seriously, we need to add some songs to our set list fast so we can keep it going for 3 hours (yeah, bar gigs, beer selling business) and we need easy songs.

Any Ramones song. I Wanna Be Sedated springs to mind.
ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man (A lot of ZZ Top is not quite what you'd call a bass workout)
Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love
And yeah, we do all four.
