I think it is better to play a song you are comfortable with.

Bad luck for your drummer

Maybe take something that ain't easy but still easy enough for you to headbang along 
Cause that's part of the show too 
But have you already chosen the song and can't change your mind? If so.. yeah, go for it, make a solo! Make it more than just a cover, be a little original |

Good choice, I think you should just play and enjoy if it's one of your first gigs.

Nothing wrong with staying with the original, but if you do want to write a solo to show off a bit, I suggest you really nail the solo down, and feel very comfortable with it. This will be much more effective for the audience (that often doesn't really know a lot about playing guitar and making music, just wants to hear something cool). cheers mate

Just experiement and analyze the stuff other great bands do, try to do something similar, but insert couple of ideas of your own. If it is too fast - simplify, but keep it structured and cool to listen!

You made a very good choice! Its always better to play a cool and easy song, then to struggle with a hard one. Often those easy songs are hit songs and audience will love it. Its your job to make a good show so I think you made a really good and smart choice!
