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

nothing else matters - Metallica
enter sandman - Metallica
Highway to hell - ACDC
Whiskey in the jar - Metallica version

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.
