5. The Allman Brothers - Whipping Post
6. George Thorogood & the Destroyers - Bad to the Bone

I know this is an old post, but I have to agree with much of this. I played a private party for a bike club a couple of years ago. They HATED our blues-based sets. What did they want instead? Metallica. Motorhead. AC/DC. Guns and Roses. We would have done great with that crowd with most of these songs because even the blues-based tunes are well-worn radio hits.

We played a biker bar a few times. The owner liked our singer (who I was married to at the time). One REALLY big biker kept yelling "play some ZZ top" (inebriated). We ignored him for most of the set - we did original new wave kinda music, which didn't really fit the vibe of the place, but they were mostly OK with it.

At one point, our drummer said (he had a mic on) "Here's some ZZ top for you". I was horrified - we didn't do any ZZ Top, and I was at the front of the stage, assuming the guy's gonna kill me when we don't play ZZ Top, or we do a butchered version. I'm pretty sure the drummer caught my laser gaze shooting a hole in his head, but he launched into our next tune on the set list, which...sounded nothing like ZZ Top. The big guy started dancing wildly (ever see a 300 pound 6'8" biker dance wildly?), and passed out halfway through the song, taking out some tables and chairs on the way down. Bar owner came over, took away his keys (so he couldn't kill someone on the way home when he woke up), and the crowd applauded. Apparently bikers appreciate performance art or whatever you call what we managed to pull off.

So, play what you want, but....just in case, maybe have "Sharp Dressed Man" practiced and ready to go.

Maybe practice this killer version thereof:

Maybe practice this killer version thereof:

I'm not sure the bug drunk guy would have waited patiently for us to do a costume change, but otherwise...that would probably work.
