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? --------------------  "Remember to live, eat, sleep and breathe music for the mind, play from your heart and never be swayed by the current trends"- Rusty Cooley My gear: Marshall Valvstate Digitech Distortion Factory Jackson RR24 (Randy Rhoads) Ibanez RG2550e A ripoff brand acoustic guitar and a Yamaha Classical guitar :) |

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".
-------------------- "Fact is, nothing in the world bores me more than gear...If I played thru your rig, I would still sound like me. Van Halen would sound like Van Halen. Brian May...etc. Very early in my career I decided to focus on creating music and not being a guitar tech. Being a good guitar tech is a very different and extremely difficult job, so why not leave it to a pro?"

"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. -------------------- My bands homepage

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

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

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
