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

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

Agree - maybe consider removing suggestions that do not have a full band at the end of the month

@mart feel free to delegate some bass to me if youb want to slim down on homework

We have vocals for 'Be Youself' (Audioslave) and 'Survival Car' (Fountains of Wayne). Are there any takers for the missing roles?

Time to crack out the auto-wah pedal!

Is anyone up for doing vocals on any of the following? If we can get a singer, I'm sure we could rustle up a bass player..

Celebrity Hit List (Terrorvision)

Die laughing (Therapy)
Fallen (Volbeat)

Good call yeah

Ah, sorry, my time online is often very limited.  I did check this a few days back and looked like the songs had been selected and most of the guitar slots filled.

Still open for suggestions from attendees for 3 songs each. It's especially good to get suggestions from singers, as that's usually the hardest slot to fill.

There are quite a few vocal slots still open for some that are already in the list. Plus we can do multiple run throughs with a different line up, if you want to sing or play guitar on a track that already has a full line-up.

@bertie do you want to be down for vocals, lead or rhythm guitar (or a combination of those roles)? 

mrkb

Can you update title or first post with the agreed date? It might drum up other attendees, and I need to stick it on the calendar before I forget and book something else.

Great idea. 

 Doing so now.

@stratman3142 please could we remove So Into You and replace it with New Day Yesterday (Bonamassa version)
