In the rock band we're doing "Message in a Bottle" by The Police .... rocked up a bit.
Actually when I joined they were doing some '80s tune "Send Me an Angel" but I quickly put a stop to that

| Ooops. i forgot to mention that he didn't actually play the solo, instead we just played it into the Peter Gunn theme and then back into the verses. He could never play that solo, its crazy. But yeah, its the first song we both learned together and MY first song.

|  | Registered User | | | | | my first band was a chili pepper cover band, the first songs we worked on were "Get up and Jump" and "Sir Psycho Sexy" but i bailed before we played them live.
i am in a new band and we are trying to think of some cool songs to work on. we'll most likely do a Jimi song or two. |

Breaking the law - Judas Priest
Sin City - AC/DC
Rock & Roll - Led Zep
Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
Message in a bottle - Police
Roadhouse Blues - Doors
all played as 1/2 hour guitar jams... no singer
first cover with a full band in front of people was either "2 tickets to paradise" by Eddie Money or "Tom Sawyer" by Rush...I forget which show was first |

Now we still sometimes do December, along with Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and Skynyrd's "Gimme 3 Steps"

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Indianapolis | | I'm in a Christian rock/funk/blues band fronted by a singer/songwriter with INCREDIBLE talent. We have done all original stuff but lately to expand our horizons we started practicing the following covers:
- "Black Water" -- Doobie Bros. (Have you ever heard anybody cover this?)
- "Higher Ground" -- Stevie Wonder. We're having a lot of fun with this one.
- "Jeans On" -- Keith Urban.
- "Dance With Me Tonight" from the soundtrack to "That Thing You Do". This song is incredibly fun to do.
We've also toyed around with "Jesus Just Left Chicago" before and have occasionally done a super-funked-up version of "Come Into This House" by Carman, who I can't stand. 
Covers can be a lot of fun if you do ones that are a little unusual and put your band's own unique signature on them.
