Members Brian Krashpad Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Our second album included covers of "Time Warp" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead" (which we re-titled "Bela's Dead"). In our live set we currently do a version of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," re-titled "Irish Eyes." It's starts with the traditional chorus played clean with just a guitar (or sometimes mandolin if I'm feeling adventurous), then there are two choruses with new lyrics, with the whole band kicked in, done sped-up punkabilly style, with solos in between each: When Irish eyes are smiling,Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.In the lilt of Irish laughterYou can hear the angels sing.When Irish hearts are happy,All the world seems bright and gay.And when Irish eyes are smiling,Sure, they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIMKEYS Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 pretty much anything and everything. 5 cds worth of originals. we run 85 percent covers to 15 percent originals. Are we an original band or a cover band. We are both but tend to run like a cover band and treat the original stuff like covers. Its pretty common in country/ americana music if you are doing pvt events or regular bar gigs. Festivals are pretty well all original stuff off the CDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thy God Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 We've been known to sneak Sepultura - Slave New World into our sets every now and then...we also covered Morbid Angel - Immortal Rites once. And Kickstart My Heart (Crue covers? In MY death metal band? It's more likely than you think.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Piano Whore Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 You guys are frickin' great - I'd like to see all those played by your band. Yes they are! I'm listening to Rhino's stuff right now- it's like a breath of fresh air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes they are! I'm listening to Rhino's stuff right now- it's like a breath of fresh air Thanks guy! We'll have to meet for a beer or coffee or something next time I come through town. And when I say something maybe you could sit in on a few tunes. For longer sets we usually have a nord set up.

Members Thy God Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Dat solo indeed. It baffles me to no end....any idea what key(s) it is in? I think it moves between a couple of keys. I have to stop and sit down with it, I seem to remember thinking of it as F# mixolydian, Bb minor, and F# minor at a couple of points, but I never completely sat down with it.

Members Goop Posted September 5, 2012 Members Share Posted September 5, 2012 I have to stop and sit down with it. If you ever get time to do so, let me know what you find out! I'm going to revisit the solo again and see what I can figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted September 5, 2012 Members Share Posted September 5, 2012 Too cool. My bagpipe band does "Irish Eyes" for St. Patrick's Day and Ancient Order of Hibernians events, but this will make me smile to myself. Way too many years of the Troubles and terrorism from both sides. Mark C. Ta for that. We used to play an Irish bar called the Shamrock (family-run, with the father/owner born in Ireland) and I was a bit hesitant to do it there at first, one never knows what people's sentiments will be. As it turned out, the owner thereafter used to request that we play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I regret to inform you, that the consensus here on HC is that no breasts worth seeing will be uncovered and thrust in your direction when you play that type material. So what's the point?

Haaahahahahaha!! Truer words have seldom been spoken (or typed)! That, my friend, is why all of us in the band also have other regular gigs with cover bands!
