In A Big Country RIP Stuart Adamson :)
Here I Go Again
Urgent
...and assume I know nothing about the intricacies of vocal techniques, these three seems as if one could switch from one to the next without much difficulty..? ???

here's an ANCIENT web site for the band with its old lineup. we have to update it for two personnel changes (including me, coming out -- er, on) and the song list is very different now, but it gives you a sense of what sort of thing we do -- which is amuse drunks, basically.

A good cover of Mr Brownstone would be impressive.

Mr Brownstone
Cum on feel the noise
Urgent
The others I could take or leave.
One point though Michael..
You guys had a good set when I was there, but.. talk to Andre and get him to agree with this.
Mother & Bad Religion need to be included in your current set.

haha. mother by the police? surely not.
bad religion? the godsmack song? you'll be shocked but i actually learned that, we had it down. it's on our reserve list but they say they don't get a good reaction with it. too heavy with the one open chord, i imagine. i dunno.

Mother.. by Danzig you uneducated troll.
Not a Godsmack fan of any sort, but I think Bad Religion is a great track.

Sorry, but as good as it was, I would take The Tubes over it anyday!

if you had to narrow it down to one ultimate tubes song, which would you pick?
i know almost nothign about them but i'm willing to pitch one if i know which would be the most likely for a contemporary crowd to get into...

Well, the one most synonymous with the Tubes, '80s-wise, is "She's A Beauty".
However, I would also recommend the following:
-Talk To Ya Later
-Amnesia
-Attack Of the 50' Woman
-Wild Women Of Wongo
-Sushi Girl
You may find these on either "The Completion Backward Principle", or "Outside/Inside" LPs.
Easy enough to download, I should think.
Contact me PM, if you have any other questions!
