Sign in to disble this ad
We need 15 more songs to be able to go play out. We are wanting to add some really easy ones to our setlist so we can get out faster. My drummer has been drumming for 30 years. So we need to find something that is easy for guitar and bass. It doesn't have to be girly either. We cover AC/DC, Judas Priest, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, 38 Special, Def Leppard, Hole. You can see our set list at www.cherryoctane.com if your really interested. But we are struggling with coming up with some easy ones to add quickly. Got any ideas for us?? |

In high school I was in a band with a girl singer.... Let me think....
You probably already play "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "Hate Myself For Loving You" - those are easy and are bigtime crowd pleasers. Go-Go's songs "We Got The Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed" should be on your list. "We Got The Beat" is fun as hell to play on bass. Madonna's "Like A Virgin" translates very well to a guitar-only arrangement and is also lots of fun on bass - bouncy bass line. It may be too obscure for you, but some Missing Persons songs also translate well to a guitar band - "Words" and "Destination Unknown".
Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet" would be a great song to play but I wouldn't exactly describe it as "easy". Quote:

And how about "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull? It's a rocking crowd pleaser and just 3 chords.

The Ramones' stuff was a good suggestion. I concur. Quote: |

ok seriously - Cool chick fronted songs that look like they would fit in your set list would be "House of Ecstasy" The Cherry Bombs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcMuebiWraY
I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMICD3aMZpw
I know what boys like - the waitresses - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsneH0mOq-0 | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
