I can play pretty heavy but I don't play double kick so we'd need to work around that.
Double kick is a huge investment of time to get up and running smoothly and I decided I wasn't going to use it enough.
What did you have in mind?

Count me in

Vibetronic

I'm up for some shredding heaviness too!  

MagicPigDetective

Dunno......I'm not suggesting super heavy downtuned double kick stuff, just something that grooves and rocks hard with solo opportunities? We could stretch to dropped d maybe?  I loved playing Iron man last year, and I have been thinking about War Pigs, but, Sabbath songs tend to lend themselves to one guitar player, perhaps I should suggest songs that are better suited to two guitars. Someone has to be able to sing it though. Would Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer be too much? It's one of their slow numbers, no double kicks, in Eb but could be played in standard. A good vehicle for some Vibetronic shred action. Will get my thinking cap on.

Good work mate. So the venue and the drummers are sorted, guess it's time to start a new thread for song nominations

do we have anyone in the discussion who is a dedicated bass player?

I play more bass than anything else, but in my experience of these things, lots of people want to have a try on bass so I'd just leave it open for people to sign up.

We did Congregation (Foos) at a recent northern jam, which is pretty fun on bass. 

I'm sure @mrkb wouldn't mind another crack, and the drums are pretty tasty too for @octatonic to get his teeth into
