HOW ABOUT A TUNE LIST?

So, no Chicago Music Exchange this year?  I don't think I'm banned anymore, am I?

Yeah ... we need some tunes, people! I have an unrehearsed train wreck every Sunday night at the cafe. I'd like to do something different for the jam, like actually play songs LOL!

No CME unless people WANT to deal with Wrigley Field traffic. I, for one, don't.

Here's a few that I'm willing to sing:

Vicious

Bambi Came Home (With Paint in her Hair)

I Hate My Job

Life During Wartime

I can come up with many more, but I know that stage time is limited at these affairs.

JohnnyThunders & I are working on a kinda revolving Ramones thing - switching off singing & playing duties on a list we've yet to firnly narrow down. I think we've got BadgerDave and George for bass duties???

possibilities are I Don't Care, Pinhead, Commando, Blitzkrieg Bop, Happy Family, Lobotomy, Beat on the Brat, Sedated, Sheena(?)

I'd still like to try sitting in on an AC/DC set. I'm either being very brave or very stupid :rolleyes: BruceM - ya want another rhythm guitar on Vicous?

Yeah that would be great. I'll be able to fake it then and spend more time on my posturing! I'm sure MC Chris will provide all the wanking we need...

Carmie,

Let me know when you get the Ramones list finalized. Is George bringing a 12ver? I could bring the 8 string and we could do unison 20 sting bass lines!!!!!

Dan, Bruce and I will likely pull out a couple of Neil Young tunes - Down by the River and Rockin' in the Free World (in Am - the acoustic version?). Anyone who thinks they can hit the high notes in the chorus' is welcome to sing along.

Oh yes, the brown sugar 12-er will be there. Wall-o-Sound, cool! Will email you this weekend.

how 'bout something in I, IV, V...

Damn you to hell ...

This is starting to shape up nicely. Feel free to e-mail me specific songs so I can learn 'em on bass ... Jim the drummer's partner might not be joining us this year and I'll probably fill in.

Don't worry about stage time; I'm guessing there will be about half as many people as last year. Probably because there will be no fancy giveaways and I didn't make an appearance at the most recent Open House, thus attracting attendees with my magnetic personality.

Yeah, that must be it.

Carmie and I will have the Ramone-athone set list finalized hopefully tomorrow and we will post it. I've been out of town and am getting back tonight.

Well if we want to go back a couple of years ago, we can resurrect Paranoid and Sunshine of You Love from my very limited repetroire.

And Chris, I think this time I won't leave the solo hanging for someone to pick up. As for it actually sounding like something, would be something completely different.

Hell, feed me enough Goose Island, I may volunteer to sing the AC/DC songs for Carmie. But those would probably have to be the last songs of the night, as I'll probably scare everyone off. LOL

I have one request from Bruce - "Apologize" and we MUST rock the ending. I would like to do Black Magic Woman (wank in D minor) Alright Now (A blues wank) and I'll try to sing anything if I've got the words and I'm not standing in front of Dan's amp. :rolleyes:

HAHAHAHAHAHA....

okay then. stand in front of CHRIS'S AMP!!!!

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one should have to face that. LOL

Posted

Hot Damn! 8 and 12 string bass goodness! I finally get to get my mitts on a couple of them! Here in podunkville, the closest I've ever been able to get is an import Chap 12.

I'm with Ken and Joe on their song suggestions, but I'm up for most anything. Not knowing the tune has rarely stopped me before :rolleyes:

Amp? You better put an S at the end of that, son. I'm gonna have all three hooked up.

Good lord...waaay too many bass players currently using Hamers..I used to be the only one...(sniff, sniff)...should I just bring a guitar this time????

Simply put, you won't be allowed in unless you bring that Monaco bass. And more bass players decreases the likelihood that I'll have to play bass.

At this point DRY is off that weekend so maybe I'll swing up.

I have to still see if anything else is going on that weekend but at this point it looks pretty good.

Any boobys there?

It's never too late to make those arrangements ...

The offer still stands for you or anyone else to crash at my place. At this point I think everyone's set up at a hotel.

Fill me in, what's the agenda?

What time Friday do you meet?

Where the hell are ya?

How many people are coming?

Is the Jam Friday night?

I'm not sure if I can stay for Saturday or not.

Posted

Ah the Saturday jam. Well maybe I'll just drive up Saturday AM then instead of Friday then.

I thought Friday was "The Jam".

Posted

Hey BadgerDave - check your inbox (I'm always the one who misses messages, tho)

Posted

Ok Carmie and I have come up with the following set-list for the Ramone tribute we will be switching outsinging and playing with hubby George and BadgerDave on bass:

I don't Care

Beat on the Brat

Pinhead

I Want to be Sedated

Teenage Lobotomy

I just wan to have something to do

Commando

And then Blitkreig Bop where anyone can jam on this one. Friday we will try these out in the room to see if infact we can actually play any of this as a group.

Posted

I'm sorry Chris, my home life has has just been hit with a nuke so I can't make it to the jam. I won't be able to post for a while but I'll try to keep in touch by phone (Mpls. guys). Hope you all have alot of fun.

Joe
