No Stairway and no Free bird.. please...

Hello Audiogoners I would like to hear your input...

Im starting a new band (i play six string)and plan on doing some originals but mostly cover tunes with the new band.. I Finally found another really good bass player (After the
first practice he asked me if i burned?) Geez..I hope i can keep this one out of jail :-) I said no but talk to the drummer... You know drummers. We have already been asked to play few gigs and we dont even have a vocalist yet.. this
is gonna be intresting.

Anyway this is just for fun and we will be playing some local clubs, large parties and watering holes.

I told the rest of the guys in the band to pick 3 covers:

The drummer says:

Jimmy hendrix- Red house, I say great!
Jimmy hendrix- Voodoochile, I say great!
Stevie Ray- Texas flood, I say great!

Bass players says:

Slayer- not sure which song yet but i said ok but
if doesnt go over well he's gonna have to pick
something else.

Primus- Same thing.

Rage against the Macine- Yes i agree!

My picks:

Alice in chains- Would
Rage against the machine- Killing in the name
Steve vai- For the love of god

Were going to need quite a few more.. I would love to
hear from some of you guys/gals on this.

Any suggestions?

My three picks would be:

"Somewhere over the Rainbow", an orchestrated version
"Ghost Rider's in the Sky"
"Caravan" -w- a drum sola (gotta have the drum sola)

Ok then:

How about a good cover of the only decent song Steve Miller ever wrote ("Quicksilver Girl")?

You could follow up with the theme song from "Peter Gun" and a rousing version of "Secret Agent Man".

A thrash version of "Elephant Walk" might be nice as well.

Another great song to hot dog to is "Hoochie Koochie Man"

Covers suck, might as well have some fun with them.
