I recently discovered the song 'Heavy' by Collective Soul. Which led me to discover I like a lot of their music. I missed out on them in day.

I also am a ex musician, I played in cover bands for many years. Bass mostly and some guitar.
I can NOT sing.

'Heavy' by Collective Soul

Loved that song! Haven't heard it in years. Giving it a listen now!

 

[David Mary]

David can sing

Because I recited Sweating Bullets in a Dave Mustaine voice?

Oh wow. My band played this, probably about 10-ish or so years ago. We did mostly classic rock, but this was one of those moments of dipping out toes into some head-banging. I did that opening riff on a gnarly fuzzy synth lead, while the guitarist wailed the solos over it. After rehearsing it a few times is usually when we headed for the shots of 100 proof Jack. Great times.

Definitely a jam song.

I used to sing Interstate Love Song by STP. Played the guitar for it too (never quite got both down at the same time though). One time I was at a karaoke bar with my band mates (we practiced a number of times, but never ended up actually playing a show together, as this was just before my 180 in lifestyle choices), I got up and sang I am the Highway by Audioslave. Problem was this was the front man's go to song at karaoke, and I beat him to it. So he got his revenge by going up and doing my STP song. I felt bad for doing his song after that.

I accept. we're gonna need enough songs to fill the b side album too...so get to it boys........

 

[SharpBits]

Oh boy, are we going to have to refer to JB as Colonel Monkey?

 

[Danny Linguini]

Gets me to wondering what kind of band we could pull together from all the dregs in this place.

 

[clinton1]

I would offer up Yellow Ledbetter for the set list...

Reasoning:
-good jam song (we can make it as long or short as tolerated)
-not sure that the words have ever been the same ever, also works with mumbling
-in reality, does have the format to support some crazy guitar solos, if someone wants to step up!
-simple enough that I could play rhythm as needed...

Well, the album cover is complete!

 

[FOG2]

But but but, what's our bands name ?

 

[SharpBits]

But but but

Now we have the name.

 

[David Mary]

He’s just being modest, it’s Major General Monkey Gunner, which should also be the band name.
