ok, i have been in a pub band for well over a year now and we have around 3 hours worth of material we can play off the top of our heads...
the one thing we have never been able to do is get our opening song right... the first song of the night... that one song people are gonna hear and judge how well the rest of the night is going to go. so i thought i'd look to the GMC for help. below is our current setlist (feel free to comment on it) along with extra songs we chuck in depending on the pub... we are currently learning new songs to add to it and we are on the search for the best opening song we can find! 1st set Rock And Roll - Led Zep Hurricane - Scorpions Aint Talking Bout Love - Van Halen Sin City - ACDC Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolfe Tush - ZZ Top Wherever I May Roam - Metallica Behind Blue Eyes - The Who Fade To Black - Metallica ------------------------ 2nd set Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd Aint My Bitch - Metallica Kick Start My Heart - Motley Crue How You Remind Me - Nickelback Fear Of The Dark - Iron Maiden Holy Diver - Dio Rebel Yell - Billy Idol Sweet Child - Guns n Roses Paranoid - Black Sabbath ------------------------ Encores Ace Of Spades - Motorhead Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd Whole Lotta Rosie - ACDC ***Killing in the name*** - Rage against the machine ------------------------ Extras dead or alive - bon jovi between angels and insects - Papa roach nothing else matters - Metallica enter sandman - Metallica Highway to hell - ACDC Whiskey in the jar - Metallica version Higher Ground - Red hot Chilli Peppers/Stevie Wonder anyways, if anyone can pick a song from the list you guys think would be a brilliant opening song for a pub band, that would be great... we're also open to learning a few new songs for to pick an opening songs so even suggestions not on the list would be great. you can see our style from the list of songs here Cheers Chris -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

Maybe you guys could play a small intro where the singer will introduce the band and tell crowd what to expect from the evening. Then you could tie the intro to the first song you are going to play. From the list Paranoid seems like a really nice opener song.
