Members Stephan1980 Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 SWEET CHILD OF MINE is good with a raspy female singer.but they will like Sweet Child of Mine? Both are good IMO and both are overplayed but I'd say they're of about the same calibre song though the perhaps SCOM is more recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR is much more popular as a whole than Ozzy as is Sweet Child compared to Crazy Train. I've noticed that most people who would listen to Crazy Train will also love Sweet Child. But I know and see hordes of people who love Sweet Child but have no interest in Crazy Train or anything Ozzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretbrner Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 "take me away - fefe dobson"somehow I don't think anyone would know it, since it didnt get too much airplay. But I actually like the song. You can have her sing some new arch enemy, lacuna coil. But I guess that may be a bit too hard for your target audiences!Heart, Joan jett, Hey, If your really want to set yourself apart from all the other cover bands out there, maybe she can incorporate a type of "Rock Bitch" show when she sings!!

Members Dolf Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 -Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme (I'm serious) -anything by Paramore, they've got a bunch of cool, catchy stuff (Crush is fun) -"Hit Me With Your Best Shot" - Pat Benetar -"{censored}in Total Eclipse of the Heart" ...gets a laugh every time. -"Whole Lotta Love" - Led Zepplin. It's usually pretty easy for a decent chick singer to sound like Robert Plant. -"Killing in the Name of" - RATM. Anybody can do this with enough energy. -"With or Without You" - U2. Another voice a good chick singer should be able to pull off. -"Sweet Emotion" - Aerosmith. See above. -"Free Fallin" - Tom Petty. Could easily be reworked for a girl. That ought to get you started.

Members freetime Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 I just googled up some halloween songs Sweet Dreams by Marilyn MansonLittle red riding hood = the meteors or bowling for soupmonster mash = Bobby Boris Pickett and the crypt kickersAdams family theme tunethe Munsters theme tuneJohn Zacherie = Dinner With DracHighway to hell = AC/DCBad moon rising = creedance clearwater revivalBark at the moon = Ozzy OsbournePurple People EaterTime Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture showThriller = Michael JacksonGhost busters = Ray Parker JuniorThe Theme to the Halloween movies666 The number of the beast = Iron MaidenMonster Mash - Bobby "Boris" PickettPsycho Killers - Talking HeadsAmerican Witch - Rob ZombieAll you Zombies - HootersThriller - Michael JacksonTubular Bells - Theme from the ExorcistEnter Sandman - MetallicaHell - Squirel Nut ZippersI'm Your Boogieman - White ZombieBoris the Spider - The WhoWelcome to my Nighmare - Alice Cooper I don't know most of these but bleh "Tam Lin" - Fairport Convention - Sandy Denny narrates a tale of midnight riders and fairy queens on Halloween while Richard Thompson, Dave Swarbrick and Dave Mattacks romp. "Alison Gross" - Steeleye Span - Mid-70's Span is a wealth of songs about witches, demons, bloodletting and murder most vile. A fun little tune about the ugliest witch in the north country. "Werewolves of London" - Warren Zevon - Okay, an obvious choice. His hair was perfect. "I Put A Spell On You" - Screamin' Jay Hawkins - The original is the best, but CCR and Arthur Brown did fine versions, too. "Walking On The Water" - Creedence Clearwater Revival - A nice level of spookiness here, without resorting to Charlie Daniels style ghost story telling. "Flying Dutchman" - McKendree Spring - Electric violin and ghost stories just go together. "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)" - Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac or Judas Priest - But Arthur Brown sings a top notch version on the Rattlesnake Guitar tribute album, too. "Black Magic Woman" - Santana - Perhaps another obvious choice. Peter Green was one haunted dude... "Tubular Bells" - Mike Oldfield - I'm not sure how spooky this really is aside from the "Exorcist" connection, but it always sounds good to me. You can probably find 10 or 15 minutes that sound adequately ominous for a CD-R project. "Threnody For Souls in Torment" - Robert Fripp String Quintet - This is scary instrumental guitar music. King Crimson's done several scary instrumental pieces over the last 30 years ("Red", "Larks Tongues In Aspic Part II"), but this piece (with Trey Gunn and the California Guitar Trio) takes it up a notch. And just a few bonus suggestion: "Black Sabbath" - Black Sabbath"Frankenstein" - Edgar Winter Group"Fire Poem & Fire" - Crazy World of Arthur Brown"Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan"My Wife And My Dead Wife" - Robyn Hitchcock"The Raven" - Alan Parsons Project"Season Of The Witch" - Donovan"Bela Lugosi's Dead" - Bauhaus"Strange Brew" - Cream"D.O.A." - Bloodrock Here's one that kick some serious assVXZcO7J2AnM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 Play what you and your band mates like and is fun to play. If it isn't fun to play then it is work and that sucks. If people want to hear your music they will stay, and if they don't, they will go to another bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
