Can anyone recommend a song that rocks hard without making all the teachers (nuns included) go crazy. Me and my friend are thinking about La Grange (ZZ Top) and Whole Lotta Love (Led Zep). Thanks in advance.

Slayer- Raining Blood













OK, maybe not. I think you've got some good choices already...maybe some Van Halen?

Fade to Black is a pretty easy song, and I don't think the nuns would get too mad about that. Or Carry On My Wayward son, that works too.

I suggest : Far beyond the sun by yngwie malmsteen..


















..
no, seriously , as you said, ZZ top songs would be cool, and not to difficult,
Smells like teen spirit by nirvana, (if you wanna be sure you wont make any mistakes )
I would personally choose "Down To Mexico" by Paul Gilbert, its a pretty easy song to play, and it sounds awesome oh, and also maybe some metallica songs, like "Fade to black" or "one".

How about Soul To The World? Thats an awesome song

Or, try Judas Priest, Living after midnight, simple song, and a simple solo

I don't know how sensitive it is with nuns and lyrics but... "Whole lotta love" might be less a success when you come to "gonna give you every inch of my love" and they all faint. But hey, they pulled the plug on Hendrix too
The entire song is adult rated

And La Grange is about a "Mens entertainment institution" in Texas so that might not fly either


You get the words, don't want to spell em out in the forum.

If you had a bass, you could Orion. That's a great song and you wouldn't have to have a singer.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Dec 22 2007, 12:18 AM

yeah, Orion rocks!!

Posted by: JukeboxHero Dec 22 2007, 12:24 AM

Hey Thanks guys. @ MickeM that's a good point maybe we will mumble so the lyrics aren't the clear .

Carry on Wayward Son sounds like a good choice.... if I can listen to it in religion class, it must be clean...

Posted by: muntahunta Dec 22 2007, 12:28 AM

ORION!!! i'll come to watch you play that

carry on my wayward son... brings back memories of getting drunk with guitar hero 2

Posted by: PacmanProductions Reborn Dec 22 2007, 12:28 AM

HAHA!

Posted by: Owen Dec 22 2007, 12:33 AM

Play some DevilDriver,

I suggest 'The Fury Of Our Makers Hand'.

Posted by: Robin Dec 22 2007, 04:16 PM

Yeah! Or Tush.

Posted by: MickeM Dec 22 2007, 04:57 PM

Good idea, since it's great songs both of them. We played both in my band and we had trobles betting "whole lotta love" to actually sound any good. In all it's simplicity it takes something extra to get that groovy feeling.
La Grange was easier to play and it rocks too. Maybe just change a few words

Posted by: Smikey2006 Dec 22 2007, 05:46 PM

Bad Devil by Devin Townsend band

Posted by: Tomy Jeon Dec 23 2007, 02:05 AM

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin (did I spell that right?)
One - Metallica

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 23 2007, 03:46 AM

Misfits - Resurrection
Misfits - Dig Up Her Bones
Misfits - This Island Earth
Misfits - I Turned Into A Martian
Misfits - Mars Attacks
Misfits - Forbidden Zone
Misfits - Crimson Ghost
Misfits - Descending Angel

There songs are simple and fun

Posted by: FretDancer69 Dec 23 2007, 04:25 AM

sounds like someone is into a new band

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 23 2007, 04:30 AM

Actually im just in a Misfits mood lately, been a big fan of them for 10 years.

Posted by: Spiderusalem Dec 23 2007, 07:29 AM

Reminds me of something someone said somewhere (I know thats not really helpful but I dont care) "All of Led Zeppelins songs are about F*****g. Even the ones about hobbits."

Posted by: JukeboxHero Dec 27 2007, 02:57 AM

Thanks those are some really good songs it's hard to choose but I am also putting sharp dressed man and aint' talkin bout love into condsideration along with Smells like teen spirit.

Posted by: nickmarx12345678 Dec 27 2007, 03:26 AM

Johnny B. Goode for sure
nothin tops that in my mind for live proformances

Posted by: kevin-riff-after-riff Dec 27 2007, 01:50 PM

play the entire slayer album "god hates us all"

um well you could playsome hendrix stuff! play voodoo child followed by little wing and then play that acdc song thunderstruck! its easy and impressive!

Posted by: ZakkWylde Dec 27 2007, 01:57 PM

Enter Sandman by Metallica or Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' roses would impress I think

Posted by: Overkiller Dec 27 2007, 02:09 PM

If you really want to scare all the moms away, play Slayer with Raining Blood.
What I would play, is Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica.
What really impresses, is Scarified by Paul Gilbert. But that's also very difficult.
