Which Song Should We Play

BradG7 · 10-07-2006, 12:02 AM

Ok, my band is playing in the talent show this year at our school. We can't decide between some songs, please vote on this topic, I appreciate any input.
We consist of me, Guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. Vocals isn't a problem, but getting two guitarists is. If you aren't familiar with the songs, I can give you them.

You seem to be keen on doing a Queen song, I'm not a fan but if you're going to do one, how about 'Don't stop me now'? I have to admit, it's only because it was used in Shaun Of The Dead, one of my favouritest films ever.

Don't Stop Me Now, doesn't get people moving and into the song, because I am trying to appeal to fellow class mates to win the cash prize.

A lot of people in my high school know "Bohemian Rhapsody"...
Plus it has a nice "Get into the mood" beet...
Hope it helps!

I agree it does, and right now it is in the lead.

How about Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb"?
It only needs a good guitarist and the audience is yours

I'm not a Queen fan myself, but if you're gonna play something... play 'em all!
That is, make a medley, you can make a lot of cool transitions between those Queen songs. Plus, medleys are always popular and give you a chance to show off different styles. Keep it up tempo and you'll get the dancing crowd on your side as well...

Good luck anyways, because covering Bohemian Rhapsody alone is a daunting task.

I am not alone, for Bohemian Rhapsody, I would do lead, with the bassist doing secondary and the male choir from our school covering the rest.
The Pink Floyd song doesn't really appeal to me.
