I was in the shower this morning thinking about this. What is your onemost absolutely totally favorite cover song that you play on stage?

 

 

For me it's definitely Elvis - Suspicious Minds. I don't know why.

Moondance

We only play two covers, Muscle Museum (Muse cover) and Tie Up My Hands (complete bastardization of a Starsailor song). I like them both, but I prefer playing the Muse one.

Hard to nail down one, but in my current band, the one with some of the most prominent basswork (which of course makes it fun to play) is "Live With Me" by the Rolling Stones.

Ya, Shook Me is cool. Gets the chicks up dancing!

 

Star seed by Our Lady Peace. Nobody knows them, they are Canadian. Great bass line, and it really rocks.

 

Rock and Roll, Led Zep. Not challenging but you can totally rock out!

 

Sorry that is 3.

 

Cheers!

Train in Vain - The Clash

 

The Rover - Led Zeppelin (mainly because it's stupid easy to play and VERY easy to sit there and zone out on the groove).

 

Money - Pink Floyd (because it fools people who don't know any better into thinking I'm some great bass player...too bad hardly any band I play with wants to play it :D).

I've always like Shook Me All Night Long by ACDC. Nothing gets a crowd going more than that little gem.

 

When you play it, they definately get going...

 

...out the door, as fast as humanly possible :eek::D

First I thought of was honestly this one: Rasputin by Boney M.

 

I used to play that in a school band and it was really fun and was also really well recieved.
