    Fer me, and I have no idea why, its...

    My Own Worst Enemy

    For some reason pretty much every cover band I've ever played in played it, and played it every time we played.

    And I still give it my all :). Well... I try...

    Been in 5 bands since 1983, Sweet Home Alabama was on all of the set lists. Thankfully, that song is deceptively difficult to play, especially if doing backup vocals or I'd hate it by now, still.....

    Around 2008 that would have been mine too. People around my parts stopped playing that right around that time for some reason. Or maybe just the bands I've played in stopped playing it :). I don't ever go out to see bands anymore. When I have a free night these days, I'm home.

    These seem to be staples for Long Island Cover Bands
    Hard to Handle
    Long Train Running
    American Band
    American Girl

    But I think the one I've played the most is Roadhouse Blues

    Long Train Running. Since it was first released, and ever since. And I still enjoy playing it today.

    Sympathy for the Devil.
    We called our band the abbreviated version "Sympathy".
    Which turned out to be predictably appropriate :)

    Wicked Garden by STP. Great finger loosener, and the opening notes are perfect for dialing in overdrive.

    But it's possible I've played What's Going on by Marvin Gaye more times, since I tend to play it five times in a row. Five years I've been working on it and haven't quite gotten it to my satisfaction. It's nearly impossible to get Jamerson's feel while sober, and nearly impossible to get the fingering while drunk.

    What is and what should never be

    Simply because it's the first thing I play every time I pick-up a bass, at least a few lines of it. I love the song and the bass lines in it.
