Yeah, there's potentially a lot of new songs for @onlyonebradders to get his head round (assuming he's up for it again)...

Would it be possible to check whether @onlyonebradders is up for it? And if so, which songs he's up for playing. If they're not on the list could you ask him which ones he'd like to do.

Who have we got for vocals. Is it just the following at the moment? And which songs would they like to do?

Anyone?

Sorry @Neilybob I could Lynott Jailbreak and cover vocals and bass? That would be fun. I'll have a proper look volunteer for more. I haven't heard a lot of those songs

Superb! Thank you

I have to say I really loved your vocals at the last jam.

That's great. Could you do Jailbreak in standard tuning (a semitone higher than the original) as you can sing pretty high? Or would you prefer it in the original key, which has the guitars tuned to Eb standard.

roberty

@stratman standard tuning is no problem

Thanks @Neilybob that's very kind

I've updated the list to show roberty on vocals and bass for Jailbreak. Also, it's in F#m (semitone up on the original) to allow it to be played in E standard tuning.

I'll do lead guitar, unless anyone else wants to do it, so we just need a drummer for that one now.

I'll make and share a Spotify playlist for this because I haven't heard most of these before. And then once I've heard them it will be easier to pick and choose

This might not be the final list, as songs that don't get a full line up of roles will be dropped.

Feel free to suggest 3 of your own. It would be good to get responses and suggestions from singers and drummers, because those are the hardest roles to fill.

Okay I've been drilling megadeth rhythm parts so how about Symphony of Destruction because that's not super technical

I'd like a stab at the guitar part on Under the Bridge

On a Plain by Nirvana is nice and easy and fun to sing

I'll add them to the next update. Will you do vocals on all of those? @Jonathangus did vocals on Under The Bridge last time if you want to concentrate on the guitar parts.

I'm happy to cover bass this time, instead of guitar, on Under The Bridge.

+1 to Symphony, I know it already!

Brocco

Wondering if we should consider removing suggested songs that do not have both a drummer and vocalist by a given date?

onlyonebradders

Sorry for the late response everyone... just way too busy.  So I'm probably good for: Celebrity, Die Laughing, Fallen, Jailbreak, Paradise City, Runnin' Down, RnR, So into you, Be yourself, April Skys, Gimme Shelter, Roadhouse, Just what i needed, I fought, Talk dirty, Dr Feelgood and Girls.  Also, to throw some curve balls, I know I believe in a thing called love, and because i heard it on the radio while i was working, i thought Fight for your Right - Beastie Boys could be a laugh!

Well up for SoD too!

Dr Feelgood = More Cowbell!

That's great @onlyonebradders. Quite a few roles have been filled now.

Here's an updated list. Let me know if anyone spots any errors or omissions.

We now have a full lineup for Jailbreak.

Quite a few drummer roles have now been filled by @onlyonebradders , so should we give it a little longer before dropping any?

mrkb

Now Bradders has chosen, I'll drum on "Gold on the ceiling", "under the bridge" and "Lets Dance"
Will sing and rhythm guitar on "Talk Dirty"
Happy to sing on "I fought the law" (Might add some rhythm guitar as well)
