Americans would love this.

American Drummer in Cover Band !!!!!!

Bloody Yanks LOL

The good thing is that most have simple base line for the simple bass player (oh thats me!!!)

I love it. Especally liking the inclusion of George Thorogood, saw him live a year or so ago, amazing

Thinking of calling the Band "Homemade Jam"

How about All Bases Covered?

crap like sweet home alabama is what is needed in these situations. Ultimatley you have to play what people will react and dance to.

i dont think many people in pubs would like enter sandman by metallica..too metal

You forget its New Zealand, and we are talking about drunken patrons re Metallica, obviously nothing like Pulling Teeth or Ride the Lightening, but Enter Sandman does go down well.

Dan I agree dont like Sweet home Alabama but its on the list

ah, didnt notice the new zealand part

Yellow Ledbetter....

Nice.

Do some covers of pop songs, but make them your own, my band do this and it works really well, gets the crowd going as everybody know the songs.

NO SKYNARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! every cover band on the friggin planet plays that country rock crap....well my band doesnt, and thats the way it will stay. rest of the set looks pretty good though.
