Next time would be my pleasure man.

I could easily pick up a couple of free crates from work

Please can we not pander to this nonsense. I thought this was a jam, not an ego driven sideshow practising scales/arpeggios at 100 miles an hour. Can't folks leave that stuff at home, and we play some songs?
Sorry if this sounds like a whinging pom, but really?
There will be those who find that style easy and those who aren't even close to it and I include myself in that, I'm not a shredder at all. Those who can and want to will get some time just like the blues guys, strummers, beginners and everything else we can include.
We'll try to keep a nice balance as much as possible.
Shredding isn't nonsense just as much as Blues isn't boring and it is a Jam. The idea of having *some* songs agreed in advance is to give some structure to a 5-hour event and, as @octatonic said quite early on, to avoid it turning into hours of 12 bar repetition with no real musicality.
I'll take your point on board so to speak and between us three, we'll try to keep the whole thing balanced with something for everyone.
Is that fair enough?

@Bridgehouse
what's your view on this?
... which reminds me. Does the venue have music stands?
I respect that fandango doesn't like shred but some of us do and enough of us that we might be able to have some fun with it.
This is a day for all of us so I'd like to see a balance of musical styles.
We aren't talking endless shredding over a backing track- we are playing a couple of Extreme songs, which are mostly vocally driven with fairly short solos.
On a wider note- maybe this can be a call to musical tolerance?
There are a few musical styles that aren't my cup of tea but I'm prepared to give anything a go in order to keep everyone happy.
I get why some folks might not like shred or hard rock but to be so disparaging about a musical style and then asking that we 'leave it at home' comes across as pretty intolerant.
If if we were going to be playing 'ego driven sideshow nonsense' (which we aren't) then why is that such a problem for a short period of time if people are enjoying it?
I'd like to see people come out and express themselves- even if it means playing music that isn't my thing.
It is about allowing people to go out and take some chances, to reveal who they are as musicians.
To me that would be success, rather than narrowly dictating what can and cannot be played by others.
Just a thought.

It shouldn't be too difficult to find out although I don't remember us having them last time.....
@TheOtherDennis .......can you remember us using music stands?
South Norfolk.
As people let me know I'll amend that.
We'll have to find a way of making that list easier to get to rather than having it getting lost in what's not 11 pages and probably will turn into a lot more.
I think the easiest way will be for @Bridgehouse to edit the OP once we get the full 30 people confirmed and put it right at the beginning on Page 1 but I'm on top of it for now and it's up to date for now so let's wait until we're full and then do that?
The idea is then that if there are alterations and people who have to pull out/TBC's moving onto the confirmed list then @Bridgehouse can edit that accordingly. It won't be difficult for me to make a temporary manual note of it until one of us speaks to him and he does that.
Does that sound like a good plan?
Teenage Kicks
Ever Fallen in Love
20th Century Boy
Pretty Vacant
Crossroads
Rocking in the Free World
That sort of thing...
If anyone can sing it I'd love to do Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream"

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youAnd i am glad, i'm glad, i'm glad (poss song choice, not that i can play it yet) that there will be a variety of styles, despite that, wouldnt a 5 hour rendition of Dark Star be something*, eh?
Que sera sera.
