SONGS I NEVER WANT TO PLAY AGAIN

[Banned]

Hmmm, I think I'll decline to reply to this category, just in case karma should come back to bite me on the ass. You know how that works . . . you complain too much about songs you are sick of playing, then you turn around and have a massive hit song with the worst tune you ever wrote and are doomed to play it endlessly for the rest of your career.

[BassFinger]

Don't forget Brown Eyed Girl. I've officially wiped the chord structure of that song from my head, so even if someone were to request it, I have the excuse that I don't know how to play it.

BTW, the coolest local version I ever saw of that song was by Vinyl Tap, because the bass player did cool pops in certain places. I wish I were a better slapper.

Wow! That was me! Thanks!

It sucks when the band is no longer together and ya find out somebody actually liked it! I guess thats the way it is.

[VENTGtr]

"Also any ac/dc "

Absolutely.

Gel-Collective Soul
Cumbersome-Seven Mary Three
Rockin' In the Free World-Neil Young

Alot of 'em listed ("Freebird", for example) I've been lucky enough to never
have played but still can't stand 'em, and cringe when anyone does play them.

Quite possibly the worst to hear, and I'd imagine play, though, is "Old Time Rock
and Roll". Arrgghhh!!!!

[Atomic Jim]

Geez, who dredged this up. I started this tread in May of 2006.

[drums=life]

Machine Head - Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Give It To Me Good]

[lonewolf]

I can't think of any songs that I never want to play again. Only ones that I never played in the 1st place. How about Cheesburgers In Paradise?

I don't understand why Free Bird gets a bum rap. I haven't heard anybody play it in years and I haven't heard anybody do it right in almost 30 years. It has 3-4 more chords than the typical rock song and it requires good slide guitar skills to do it properly. So what is up with that?

Is there some problem with playing the most requested songs?

[dburley81]

SOngs i play that i ahhhhn everytime...

Margaritaville
Blue on Black
Turn the Page
Simple Man
The Joker
Wish You Were Here
Folsom Prison Blues

Songs That need to be shelved when I go out to hear another band ect..

Jessie's Girl
American Girl
Anything from the Grease movie
Buttercup
Sugar were goin down (because noone really hits the song and i really dont like it anyways)
Sweet Caroline
Ride a horse save a cowboy
Friends in Low Places
Crazy Bitch

[SpellboundByMetal]

I wanna learn the solo to Freebird

[RobTheDrummer]

How many songs would be left if you took out every song about a girl or about love?

My guess is like 19.

[SpellboundByMetal]

songs about girls and love are just stupid.

[mjb]

songs about girls is where it all began/ thats what it sall about. in one way or another

[AtoMikEnRtiA]

start singing songs about mass murder or suicide...

tell you what, write a song, make sure it has heavy ass death metal riffs and breakdowns, and call it "save your scrotum, glock the groupie"... i would back that so hard

Well, if you play the same 20 songs everybody else does, it's harder to distinguish yourself. But there will usually be some songs you play as a bond of goodwill between yourself and the audience. It's only a chore if you let it get to you. I'm generally zoned out into musicland on stage anyway; if you quizzed me at the end of a set about which 12 songs I just played, I might remember half of them.

Although if I never have to play Eruption again, it won't bother me one bit.

I agreed with lonewolf. I will play any & all of the songs listed that I'm able & will try the ones that I don't if it makes people in the audience happy. I mean, that's part of the main reason that I'm there, right?
Whether it be Sweet Home Alabama, Brown Eyed Girl, Roadhouse Blues, Some Kinda Wonderful, Break-up Song, whatever. I mean the band is going to be playing different songs that set them apart from others as well.
I'm getting paid to play & hopefully people have a good time & can be happy for awhile so I'll gladly do the deed to be a part of it. I think that it's all in the way you look at it. I try to have a positive outlook & make the song my own with my style of playing & keep it fresh. You get to play your instrument & that's always a good thing regardless if you have to play beater songs or choose a mix of songs nobody knows (why?) or even originals. And lets not forget that maybe wanting people to come back & see your band again is another factor in this whole deal.

[SpellboundByMetal]

Maybe i will start recording death metal songs with dumb lyrics just to pass the time.
