Members zachoff Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 In a gig setting or just in general? For a gig it would probably be Blitzkrieg Bop. In general, probably Dirty Water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have absolutely no idea. I've done way too many impromptu numbers that I wasn't familiar with that I've lost count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JacieFB Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Earth Angel, totally random one night, we just started playing it. And Blue Moon, but thats not "technically" RnR... I forgot about Earth Angel! Used to do a punk version of that song. Don't know if that's older than "Wake Up Little Suzie" or not. EDIT: FYI, "Earth Angel" was 1954, "Wake Up Little Suzie" was 1957.

Members catphish Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 I change mine. I'm guessing it's probably one of the old Appalachian standards we've played like Rocky Top, or Ginseng Sullivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
