2 Songs to Play?

feylya

A mate of mine has to play two pieces of music on Tuesday on the drums as part of her music course and she asked me to accompany her on the guitar. I'm just trying to think of two songs to play which are interesting for both the guitarist and the drummer. I was thinking Orion until the bass interlude and maybe some Rage Against The Machine or Queens Of The Stone Age (Little Sister maybe).

Anyone got any other ideas?

Doctor J

Orion might be a bit dull with just a guitar and drums... The Thing That Should Not Be maybe?

Zapp Brannigan

In Flames - Man Made God.
and
Holy Wars - Megadeth.

jcoote

a bit of ska stuff is always good fun and interesting to listen too

feylya

Hmm, well I have to see if this is happening or not. If it is, we'll probably get together later and batter out a few songs.

jcoote

i suppose just 2 song yis both feel comfortable with really

feylya

Paranoid could be one. Nice and simple but not too boring. We'll see.

bonzai bob

Testify - RATM.

Good for both Drums and guitar.

jcoote

yeah paranoid would be deadly...feel like makin love sounds good with just drums and guitar

feylya

Feel Like Makin Love? Don't know it...

Aye, Testify could be an option. Of course, this is smack bang in the middle of my exams so my guitar learning time is greatly reduced

jcoote

yeah exams are a **** glad i'm stupid and don't go to college ... feel like makin love by bad company u have to know it...really easy to play

feylya

Nope, don't know it

Might try MGS - Yuppie Puppet Epiphany :rolleyes:

jcoote

why the :rolleyes:

feylya

Cos I haven't a hope in hell of learning it

jcoote

ah ha i see...yeah connall is good for sure

feylya

That he is and that's one of the catchiest songs I've heard in a while. Heard it at a gig, was humming it for a week. Got the album last night, I've listened to that song about 20 times already. Love that whammy.

bonzai bob

I downloaded the album. Each song is good individually, but imo as a collective they don't have as big an impact.

Fair Play to em though.

jcoote

i think u might be right there bob...i listen to that album like 3 times a day (its in the car like) and i love all the songs but maybe it isn't amazing as an 'album' like...whammy is the business..hard to use it as effectivly as conall tho

edit : i say like a lot

feylya

Whammy is one of those effects that can be over used so easily, just like wah. Conall doesn't do that. Which is nice

Damn it, listening to YPE again :rolleyes:

Any more suggestions for songs? Have to see if she follows up on this thing. She could have gotten someone else at this stage for all I know...

jcoote

ah feck it if she did fey its somethin to talk about ... spiderwebs by no doubt...hedonism skunk anansie... a bit of nirvana...

feylya

Aye, Nirvana was mentioned but I kinda vowed never to play Teen Spirits ever again unless I was taking the piss.

jcoote

breed or lithium or or anyeurism (can't spell that)...all appologies would be great

feylya

Hmmm, maybe...

jcoote

what about drive by incubus (little bit tricky) or somethin like a rocked up version of an old song like rush did with summertime blues

feylya

Aye, possibly. Reef - Naked maybe or **** Like a Beaver. Simple as hell but it's great

Christ, Enter Sandman or Whiskey in the Jar would be grand.

jcoote

jeseus i hate whisky in the jar but enter sandman would be deadly...maybe wherever i may roam too...or what about a medley of the main riffs off about 20 songs..i did that as an intro to a song i had before...best craic in the world to play

feylya

Ah, I love Whiskey. Roam's structure always confuses me

Medley eh? Could do... A riff from every song on Master Of Puppets

jcoote

yeah thats it..the idea of my on was that u were scanning thru radio station ...song was called radio waves...had like crazy train, money for nothing ,kids aren't aliright ,sunshine of my love ,devil inside by inxs...really enjoyed it...i'd do somethin like dat

feylya

It's definately an idea. Sure, we'll see what happens (if it happens)

jcoote

yeah thats it might never happen...what rage stuff would u do

feylya

Meh, I dunno. Born Of A Broken Man or Sleep Now In The Fire probably

jcoote

take the power back..need bass tho

feylya

Yeah. It's pretty much the same with all RATM songs. Hmm, maybe 7 Nation Army. You know, with those mad complicated drums :rolleyes:

jcoote

she'd probably fail if she played that ...yeah the me50 has a ps on it that'd do the verse sounds and all ...that'd be a piece a piss

feylya

And so damn boring too

Maybe some Mesuggah?

jcoote

never heard of em...just googled em there..any use??

feylya

I don't like them. At all. I is 21 minutes of unchanging pap imo. The first two minutes are the same!!!

jcoote

ok i won't listen so...hellacopters ever listn to them

feylya

The name is kinda familiar...

jcoote

absolutly savage dunno ow you'd know them..the bass player in my old band put me on to them..kinda good straight rock and roll really good...should have a listen if u can

BossArky

Sad But True, great guitar riff and interesting drum breaks

Are you Gonna go m way, Lenny Kravitz had a female drummer too...

Waltons

Ytse Jam? ¬_¬

Emm, some of the Zep stuff can be kinda good with guitar and drums if you're up for it. Rock and Roll, or Immigrant Song? Some QOTSA songs are good too; Little Sister, like you mentioned, could be good.

BizzyC

Might be a bit far off with the genre, but
Cissy Strut by The Meters has good guitar, and is one of the alltime great funk drumming tracks.

Blasphemy!
Unreal band, and if you listen to I properly, its not the same! Actually, do listen to it again, properly this time! Hehe.

How about some Smashing Pumpkins stuff? All pretty straightforward, easy to play, and recognisable!

magpie

Hmm let me see.... guitar and chick-playable drumming.

White Stripes you fool!
