Inspiration - WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Permalink  

My Dear Friends -


Hengle and I were discussing our mutual creative black hole the other day and so I have come up with an idea -


I am throwing the floor open to suggestions for a song to cover - to be recorded by the Band and then placed on this website for you all to hear -


ANY suggestion will be considered with a vote from YOU to decide which one we cover - we shall then record and produce it to put it on the board for you all to hear.


So please post your suggestions here - whatever you like, then we can have the vote and decide which one to do - Thanks all -

How about 'Poor Heart'?


https://secure.gcwebdesign.net/strangedesign/chords/guitar/Phish/Picture%20Of%20Nectar/PoorHeart.html


Maze is pretty good too!


https://secure.gcwebdesign.net/strangedesign/chords/guitar/Phish/Rift/Maze.html


'Don't Take Me Alive' rips too!

These are probably pretty tricky cuts...

Here's a challenge for you guys - how about Stay (you know - the Christmas East 17 jobby?).


Chorus:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think
I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day

Don't you know
We've come too far now
Just to go
And try to throw it all away
Thought I heard you say
You love me
That your love was gonna be here to stay
I've only just begun
To know you
All I can say is
Won't you stay just one more day

Chorus:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think
I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day

I touch your face while you are sleeping
And hold your hand
Don't understend what's going on
Good times we had return
To haunt me
Though it's for you
All that I do seem to be wrong

Chorus:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think
I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day

Don't think I know that one Vic mate...


Whatever you decide, do not cover the 'Friends' theme song. I actually saw a guy singing along to this crap at the pub last night.

I'll have to make sure we take in a concert of Vic's and one of Stead & HengleDude's gigs while you're stopping over - Pure Quality.  (Well, I can personally vouch for the former - yet to try the latter, but has been hyped, so must be good )

Steely Dan --- nice.

I'll tell you what though ... he didn't play G7#9 like that!!!!! (Seen Elliot do it ) So, I'll be buggered if I'm going to!

I see, they were with Wayne Krantz the first time I saw 'em, in '96, he was smoking!


Larry Carlton's the original player to the cut in question:




"The Royal Scam"


Becker and Fagen return to the studio to work on their next album, the first in which Steely Dan is officially billed as a duo. "The Royal Scam" is released in May 1976 and turns out to be known as their best "guitar album," mostly due to the terrific work of Larry Carlton. The highlights for most fans and album rock radio stations are "Kid Charlemagne" and "Don't Take Me Alive."

Crocodile Rock - Elton John.  I'd just love to watch you sing the "Laaaaaaaaaaaaa, la la la la laaaa, la la la la laaaa, la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" bit.

Or Mistletoe and Wine, keeping the christmas theme.


Seriously, though - Stead's voice suits Bon Jovi pretty well - I've heard his Livin' On a Prayer.  How about Blaze of Glory?  That's a cool song!
