give us a song, and we shall play.

our band has 2 songs down and we MIGHT play at a small gig soon in 2-3 weeks. we have a few song ideas of some that we would like to do but a couple are to hard. could you give us some suggestions?

Depends on what kind of music you play, dude. Here are some of my suggestions - if you want easy:

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica
Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry
Paranoid and/or Iron Man - Black Sabbath
Die, Die, My Darling - Misfits
God Save The Queen - The Sex Pistols

The next step up would be something like:

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Master of Puppets - Metallica
Cowboys From Hell - Pantera
Layla - Derek and the Dominos
Black Dog - Led Zeppelin

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Well, I'd suggest Judas Priest's "Living after Midnight." If I can learn it--solo included--you guys can too.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man!

Smoke on the Water
Cocaine
China Grove

Sorry, forgot how OLD I am...

Several Franz Ferdinand songs are pretty easy. Many Green Day songs are easy; the hobby band I play with does "Mother Mary" (Green Day recording as Foxboro Hot Tubs).

A good and not too hard to play metal song might be Metallica's cover of Budgie
"Crash course in brain surgery". simple but rocking

"Hate to Say I Told You So" by the Hives. Actually pretty much anything from their earlier albums.

Blur - 'Song 2'

Sweet Jane - Lou Reed
I agree, almost anything Green Day.

:dude:

Sweet Jane - Lou Reed

That's one of the earliest songs I learned as well.:AOK:

Another great, and even easier Velvet Underground song from the same album is "Cool It Down".

I'd also suggest just about any Ramones song. They are all exceptionally easy to play and are a lot of fun as well.
