Members Crustee Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Any good crossover tunes you can recommend for a mostly rock band? Since joining my current band, I've managed to squeeze in a couple (barely) country tunes. We have Hicktown by Jason Aldean, and Whistlin' Dixie by Randy Houser in the queue for the next batch of tunes to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Adele-rolling in the deep Let me know how this works. We have been thinking about adding it but were not sure how a male vocalist would cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hegmatronicon Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 The last one we learned was Tik Tok by Ke$ha from memory.

Members MikeyParent Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Here are a few we've picked up in the past couple months: Muse - Uprising.....we've only done it twice, but it went over great both times Cee Lo - F You.....goes over HUGE; we usually get asked to do it a second time. (Or maybe it sucks so bad, they're giving us a chance to redeem ourselves. ) Good to hear, I would like to both of those tunes. We are currently learning Hell Yeah by Rev Theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stratotastic Posted June 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Muse - UprisingCee Lo - F YouKings of Leon - Use Somebody One of our singers is huge into Muse and wants to do Uprising, but the rest of aren't really into it. Might have to add it though since a lot of folks seem to be doing well with it. We did KOL for a bit but we just couldn't sell it because none of us really liked it. And I think it's just a matter of time before we have to do F You. Anyone doing Crazy by Gnarles? Our chick singer saw a vid of Pink doing it and really wants to play it now.

Members mstreck Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We were working on Possum Kingdom and What the Hell before we got a new drummer. Now we're just trying to get him up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We were working on Possum Kingdom and What the Hell before we got a new drummer. Now we're just trying to get him up to speed. remember to use getting the new drummer up to speed as a good reason to get rid of anything that isn't working well. We did that every time we got a new guitar player. which between 2002 and 2006 was almost every year to year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TrickyBoy Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We're working up: A mashup of Hello by Dragonette and My Sharona (I'm thinking of tagging S&M onto the end of this)A mashup of Swing Swing by All American Rejects and With or Without YouWe're toying with adding Photograph as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TrickyBoy Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We were working on Possum Kingdom and What the Hell before we got a new drummer. Now we're just trying to get him up to speed. We do What The Hell in the middle of a medley with We Got The Beat and Hey Mickey. Goes over really well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rog951 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We did Possum Kingdom for a year in rehearsals before getting out of the basement. I used to sing it, but when our new singer came in he took it over. He's been having some timing issues with it so we've yet to play it out. It's been stashed in our 3rd set and the singer has "waved it off" every gig so far. I'm wondering how it will go over, assuming we ever actually get to play it.

Members Vito Corleone Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 The most recent ones we learned are:Rolling in the Deep- AdelePhotograph- Def Leppard These are on my "consider" list right now. How they going over for you? Paris- Grace Potter This one is doing pretty well for us, although we don't do it at every show because it's not widely known. But we mash it up with "Lady Marmalade" and people really dig that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rog951 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 I originally suggested Uprising a while back but the other guys shot it down. That was before our new singer came in though, and he's a big Muse fan. He and I sorta ganged up on the band and got them to try Starlight and it's sounding pretty good and growing on the other guys. The crowd so far has seemed to tolerate our attempts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we mash it up with "Lady Marmalade" and people really dig that. Rolling is a 1st set tune for us, early in the set as an attention grabber. It's gone over pretty well so far, what I'd expect for where we're placing it. Photograph I've been putting early in the last set and it's gone over great at the last 2 gigs.

Members mstreck Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We do Roiling in the Deep for the acoustic thing. We're bringing it to the full band ASAP. That's one advantage of having an acoustic shoot off... three of us will already know the ins and outs of a song so they seem to come together quicker with the full band.

Members dan88z Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 hmm, that Pink cover of Crazy is pretty good, right up our alley. I'm going to suggest that one. I had the original version on a list of potentials somewhere a while back, this one will fit us nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jamieb Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Of all the songs this is the only one we've played: Big & Rich - Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy. It's been a big song for us for four plus years... but we go all out. Horse samples, banjo emulations and even a mascot in a cowboy suit and cap guns: http://www.vimeo.com/6146292... Grant, that video...AWESOME! jamieb +++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stratotastic Posted June 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Some of you mentioned Possum Kingdom. We've been doing it almost every gig for the last couple years (current band and past). Crowds seem to tolerate it, but not much more. There are usually a few dudes bobbing their heads and singing along but that's about it. We've been holding on to it so long mainly because we kick ass on it (esp our singer) but I think we decided last night to move it to the reserve list, where I'm sure it'll eventually whither and die considering all the cool new stuff we're bringing in. Grant, that video...AWESOME! Agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
