So I joined a 80’s cover band
I made a post on Craigslist about 2 weeks ago stating that I was a lead guitarist looking to join a 80s cover band. I got a few responses the same day I made the post. One of the responses I got was very promising so I met up with some guys and we played a few songs and it sounded great.
Our playlist at the moment looks something like this:
- Ratt - I want a Woman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snyj9mvX4Tg)
- Queensryche - I Don’t Believe in Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4afP2WHzoM)
- Blue Oyster Cult - Burnin’ For You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo2Aypi0R2c&feature=related)
- The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pieI3ctfMfM)
- Loverboy - The Kid is Hot Tonight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDuWMb72rX0)
- Whitesnake - Slide It In (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ-p4EzWDiE)
- Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GccfzxHIXaY)
- Dokken - Into the Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jokWFU_kbOk)
- Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB8HudfbaTE)
- Night Ranger - Don’t Tell Me You Love Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nahUZAoZw-Q)
- Billy Squire - Lonely is the Night (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKlu3A3BBgE)
We’re adding more songs eventually. I got most of these songs down, but I need to work on the timings and nailing the solos. Journey is next on the list to be added. I am really excited about the possibility of playing these songs in front of a crowd. The Queensryche song has a really cool guitar solo. I plan on buying a new guitar really soon and more effects and amplifies. I can’t wait to get in front of a crowd!
