now, i know we are all pretty damn cool ;) and we usually don't subject our guitars and other gear to horror songs, but i reckon we all have at least a couple of shockers in our closets that we love to play.

mines 'i just wanna live' by good charlotte :eek: it's just a fun song to play and dance around to and be artarded.

what the hell is wrong with me!!!! .... everything? ;)


your turn......

    A lot of Bon Jovi's catalogue springs to mind... but I'm not sure that counts as embarrassing. Um... Weezer's Beverly Hills? :p
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Ohh man, Living Colour's "Cult of Personality" & Van Halen's "Panama".
    Please don't ask me why I like to play these songs, I haven't got a clue.

    As much as David Lee Roth puts the cock in cock-rock, I still enjoy Van Halen too.

    Skynyrd.... "Free Bird", "Sweet Home Alabama", and "Simple Man".
    Kansas... "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry On My Wayward Son"
    Bon Jovi... "Dead or Alive"
    Guns 'n' Roses... "Sweet Child o' Mine"
    AC/DC... too many to name

    There are many more that I just can't think of... my dad listened to a lot of 70's and 80's rock, so I grew up on that shit.

    Plain White Tee's. It's on my list of things to do.

    I am not ashamed of any song I like to play, even as a joke.
    I am a proud gay man. OK, I'm not really gay, but you know what I mean.
    The best thing about being non-judgemental in this world, is not caring about the judgements of others.

    Shit, we did George Michaels' "Faith" recently at a jam, and it was a hoot.

    my friends and I started a cover band a few months back, and basically all the songs we play are songs i've HATED for years:

    "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit
    "All the Small Things" by Blink 182
    "Inside Out" by Eve 6
    etc, etc, etc

    the funny thing is, and much as i hate LISTENING to these songs, they are actually really fun to PLAY.....and playing them has almost made me appreciate them as songs

    on the other hand, there are songs by my favorite bands, artists of substance like Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, etc that i love LISTENING to, that have spoken to my soul and changed my life, but they aren't necessarily fun to PLAY on guitar

    so i think there is really a huge difference between Listening and Playing
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    I agree. One song we are doing is Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5. Now, this is not the sort of stuff I would normally listen to, but my band wanted to do it, so I learnt it.
    It is a really great song to play, awesome groove to the riff, GREAT solo and when we played it at rehearsal, it went off !!!!!

    ^ As do I, but they would be considered guilty pleasures to play.
