Can I take the guitar for Fire, She, and Rebel Yell please.

MagicPigDetective · March 20

Tricky thinking of songs to suggest when I won’t be singing and I don’t know what others are comfortable singing, but here’s some I wouldn’t mind doing. If one or two of them selected I’d like to play lead, that’s why I’ve put myself down as lead for them, though it looks a bit greedy

The divisive Mars to Liverpool by John Squire with myself on lead.

ZZ Top - Give me all your loving, me on lead again

AC/DC If You Want Blood… me as Angus

(Or how about Wasted Years by Iron Maiden… with a killer solo by @Vibetronic and @roberty on bass and myself on rhythm … just a cheeky suggestion)

I know the Maiden one pretty well so happy to do it

SPECTRUM001 · March 21

I sent @mrkb the drum notation for "Hanging Around", so hoping this could be back on the table. Would also need bass, vocals and lead guitar.

@roberty - would you be able to sing and take the lead break (of sorts ?) ?
@RR50 - can you do a Jean-Jacques Burnel impression on bass ?

@Jonathangus might you be able to make the next jam (provisionally 14th July)?

I was thinking no, as it's @onlyonebradders ; birthday that week so he would probably be in Reading that weekend. But it looks like he won't be, so I reckon I'm in!

I can be Malcolm, and possibly Bruce as well. Not at the same time, though...

Just checking.

I assume you mean 2nd (rhythm) guitar on 'If You Want Blood' and also possibly vocals on 'Wasted Years', as you won't be doing both at the same time

Brocco · March 21

great to have Aussie rocker @Jonathangus back with us

There's another update at the end of this post and the 'Google Sheets' list has also been updated in @Brocco's original post in this thread. Let me know if there are any errors or anything I've missed.

I've currently got @Bennyboy-UK and @FastEddie on 1st guitar for Rebel Yell. You can either split guitar duties. Or if you both want to play a lead solo we can do two run throughs.

We'll need to check the tuning of Jail Break, She and Talk Dirty To Me once we have vocalists for them. I believe they're all tuned to Eb standard.

I'll give it a try

RR50 · March 22

@stratman3142 can you put me down for bass on Hanging Around and I'd like to give Rebel Yell a shot too if that's OK

Im happy to learn drums for Hanging Around as well.

Also put me down for any Ive drummed on previously.
Then I'll choose a few new ones to learn on drums.

SPECTRUM001 · March 22

Great stuff !

@stratman3142 ; - can you please place me down for first guitar on Hanging Around (which is the rhythm guitar - there is also a good solo for someone more competent than me) ?

@mrkb - didn't you do some backing vocals last month ? The chorus has a good yet simple line...

Re Steady as She Goes - please put me in for that one ? Whilst the guitar doesn't deviate too much, would be nice to have two playing similar. Beef up the sound...

I've added @mrkb on the tracks he's drummed on before (I think).

I've put @SPECTRUM001 and me down on guitar on Hanging Around, and also on Steady As She Goes. Unless anyone else wants to join @SPECTRUM001 on guitar on those.

Bennyboy-UK · March 22

Hello!

Happy Friday everyone - please can you stick me in for Just What I Needed.

(I'm full of bravado and good intentions this far from the actual date!)

I was thinking of some other suggestions, but I'll sit on them for a bit

Cheers!
Ben.

Brocco · March 29

Just had a listen to Molly's Chambers and would like to give it a try (2nd guitar) this time if possible

stratman3142 · March 30

There's another update at the end of this post and the 'Google Sheets' list has also been updated in @Brocco's original post in this thread. Let me know if there are any errors or anything I've missed.

Updates:

@Bennyboy-UK : 1st guitar on Just What I Needed

@Brocco : 2nd guitar on Molly's Chambers

Anyone can select a role that's already been taken, because we can do multiple run-throughs of songs with different line-ups. Also, anyone can take over from me on my bass roles if they want to.

spark240 · April 3

Ill go with 2nd guitar on ZZ top, Ill have a at Stranglers if space, The Cars guitar, USSR guitar, Start guitar, Rebel Yell guitar or Bass, My Hero guitar.

Gonna throw a couple things if interested...
Squeeze - Now is that Love
Costello - Radio Radio
Reef = Place your hands

Brocco · April 4

Most of the songs currently proposed are new, and all will obviously require a vocalist & drummer, but only a few currently have one of these key roles covered (none have both).

Howdy, Stranger!
