Songs you just won't play

[Son of Wobble]

MacArthur Park. It was my signature tune, but it is just too emotionally draining for me anymore. I feel it is Will Lee's song now.

 

[Son of Wobble]

I will play anything if there's money involved. My artiste days ended when I was 21.

condolences.

one of my favorites, got the single when the movie came out and it still plays! So vinyl trumps CD. But don't put candy in my order, or I'll go over to Musician's Friend. Yes, I'm down to one bass to rule them all! But I still want that 4003. Listen children, to a story, that was a-written long ago, these TIs are floppy but JJ used the magic thumb and if it is good enough for JJ, I just don't get Jaco but I respect him peace on earth was all it said

Pardon.... TB hairball

 

[Son of Wobble]

should have spit that one up in the cat thread

 

[Cowboy in Latvia]

Ms. New Booty. That's it. Otherwise, you pay...I play.

 

[JeezyMcNuggles]

Totally intended to be lighthearted conversation, and not serious discussion. Play what you like.

However, there some songs I just won't play. Ever.

1. Anything from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
2. Radio country.
3. Eye of the Tiger. (My high school's mascot was a tiger and I was in the marching band, jazz band, pep band, all the bands. We played this horrid song a zillion times and if I never hear it again it'll be too soon. In fact, just recently I left a restaurant while waiting for a table because it came on the overhead. Grrrr......)

So, what won't you play?

Billie Jean. It just hurts

It is fun to rock for a little while though.

 

[Bassheart365]

As long as people like to dance to it...I'll play anything.

 

[And I]

If a band insisted I play come on Eileen I would quietly pack up my gear and leave

condolences.

Three guesses what doesn't matter to me.

HINT: Your opinion.

Still, Billy Jack, the record reflects you walked away from the computer for a good hour, during which time you were reportedly
seen doing much of this:

 

[pellomoco14]

Yeah, I'll force myself to get into anything if paid and wind up almost liking it half the time.
So very thankfull nobody wants limp biscuit, disturbed and kid rock songs

 

[RhynoRock]

I will never play rap or hip hop.

Do a cover of Baby Got Back and watch how much fun to watch that front row of ladies becomes.

I'll never perform Free Bird ever again as long as I live. I did back in the early 2000s with my old rock cover band at a private party for a group of drunk scummy country folk, and the people made us play it about 6 times. We were gonna say "ok enough" when we finished attempt #3, but someone hurled some choice words & a car battery at our drummer and tried to start a fist fight, so we did it again...3 more times...

 

[Volker Kirstein]

Hey Joe.

Every guitarist and their brother does a 15 minute version of Hey Joe, no one ever signals when they're gonna do the signature run, and everyone has their own take on how that signature run "should go".

§$%# Hey Joe. With a barbwire enhanced baseball bat and no lube.

 

[Nunovsky]

I said I would never play Sweet Caroline until I subbed for a band that played it.
I'm a semi-pro bassplayer and if I'm hired to do a job, I'll do it unless I don't feel fit to do it.
I had to play some songs that I really hate just because it's my job to do so. That's just it. The money doesn't walk into your pocket by its own.

 

[biguglyman]

Used to be Free Bird. I finally realized I was being a twit and learned it. Haven't played it out yet but the next schmuck who yells it is in for a surprise!!!

 

[interp]

The Davy Crockett TV show theme song. We get requests for it constantly here in Germany. I will play any song other than that.

 

[zubrycky]

If I'm not getting paid for that, any song created by other bands that I'm not involved with.

Been there, done that. It was a great school, I'm glad for it but now I'm tired of that. Time to play my own material.

Do a cover of Baby Got Back and watch how much fun to watch that front row of ladies becomes.

Don't care. I will never play it. I will sell all my gear and quit playing music before I play rap or hip hop.
