    My mate was at his uncles funeral recently, and his uncle had wanted Metallica played at the funeral but the priest wouldn't allow it. :rolleyes:

    I mean that's just typical from a priest, short-sighted, ignorant, offensive and highly hypocritical. They should be given a course in how to understand the modern world.
    It wasn't "For Whom the Bell Tolls" ye were looking for was it?

    Not sure what song it was. They ended up playing Rory Gallagher by the grave and drinking cans. :D

    Thats what I want my "funeral" to be like!

    DAM someone already put up my favourite Don’t Fear the Reaper, but I want my funeral to be a big musical montage at some night club and the band better play these songs:

    Don’t Fear the Reaper (BOC)
    Everyone has AIDS (team America soundtrack)
    Pistol Slapper Blues (Rory Gallagher)
    Thumbing my way back to Heaven (Pearl Jam)
    Keep on rocking in the free world (neil Young)
    After the goldrush (neil young again hes a legend)
    Bomber (motorhead)
    Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin) ("Valhalla I am coming home")
    Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix)
    Castles made of Sand (Jim Hendrix)
    Bold as Love (Jimi Hendrix again another legend)
    Ziggy Stardust (Bowie)
    Where its at (Beck)

    Definitely, not under any circumstances, is Everybody Hurts by REM to be played. Great song, but if I am a watching this from heaven with Jaysus I will hit the roof.

    I've asked for Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, to cheer people up. Funerals are miserable affairs, but mines' going to be great. Lots of balloons, streamers, fireworks and strippers!

    it'd have to be a Morrissey song, wouldn't want to make everyone depressed more-so though :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭fish-head


    Chopin's Funeral March, easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    Bob Dylan's 'Lay down your weary tune' or any Dylan song.

    The 'best' song I've heard at a funeral was 'Come Runnin Home Katy'...it was so sad and so appropriate:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 303 ✭✭coyote6


    Knockin' On Heavens Door - Bob Dylan
    "Air" - J.S. Bach


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭tensecyclist

    Friggin` in the riggin` - Sex Pistols.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,743 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    Jeff Buckley -- hallelujah
    Bob Dylan -- forever young
    Bob Marley -- Redemption song

    P.S. A freind of mine passed on a few years ago, and at his service they played all his favorite music, lots of reggae -- it was real uplifting , rather than the more sombre affairs.

    Thats unbelievable. They should play it even if its Platypus (I hate you) by Green Day.
    http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/greenday/platypusihateyou.html

    Don't get why they wouldn't play Metallica. Thats sad really.

    I had one all picked out and saw the title of the thread and now I can't remember.
