h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Tired. Bored. Fed up. Video doesn't work. Can't be bothered to write. Nothing to read. No credit in my mobile phone. No petrol in my car. and ATOMIC KITTEN ON THE RADIO, MURDERING THE BANGLES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

A sack and a brick, please...

Now what do you intend to do with these.... exactly?



Bassman

There's a spot at a local river called 'The Drowning Pool', where they used to throw unwanted kittens into the river. In a sack with a brick in it.

Don't worry though, I'm better now. All smiles.

Don't feel all better, go for it with the sack and brick - best thing for the tallentless wannabees IMHO



Bassman

We're Atomic Mitten - I mean Kitten - and we can't sing our way out of a paper bag!!!

A wet one?



Bassman

A wet one /with holes in it./

That sounds about right. I'm getting quite fed up with all the cover versions in the chart at the moment and as for Will's version of Light My Fire....



Bassman

Does no-one write music anymore? I mean /decent/ music.

Talking of cover versions, that U2 cover by what's-their-faces... I nearly cried. With anger. Almost as bad as the All Saints' version of "Under the Bridge".

Kitten

I quite liked The All Saints version of Under the Bridge, but there again - it didn't have Flea playing Bass on it!

I'm starting to feel a bit bad, as all I play at the moment is covers, but there again, we can't afford songwriters, where Will and the like can.



Bassman

Covers are all very well if you're skint. I never sing any of my own material (mainly because it's rubbish and I can't read music, let alone write it.)

I like cover versions if they're good. I'd just rather not have them everywhere, all the time. I mean, how many versions of 'Unchained Melody' do we /really/ need?

Anyway. What covers are you doing?

Let's see how much of this I can get right....

Runaway - Bon Jovi

Don't stop me now - Queen

Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas

Don't stop Believing - Journey

Wanted Dead Or Alive - Bon Jovi (again)

Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

Zombie - the Cranberries

Keep The Faith - Bon Jovi (and there's one more to come)

Second Set:

It's My Life - Bon Jovi (frankly I think we should call ourselves Bon Jovi and have done with it)

Sweet Child Of Mine - Guns 'n' Roses

No More Heroes - The Stranglers (Oh my god - they let the Bass player sing this one)

Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf (the whole thing including pyrotechnics!)

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

Love In An Elevator - Aerosmith

Alice/Oblivion - Terrorvision

Song 2 - Blur

Doctor Doctor - UFO

Encores:

From Out Of Nowhere - Faith No More

Jump - Van Halen

We've just started doing How You Remind Me by Nickelback as well, but haven't played a "regular" set which includes it yet, but it will go in the first half.



Bassman

Some good ones there anyway! Terrorvision do my 'bouncing around madly on a night out' songs, ESPECIALLY Oblivion.

Am just SO TIRED today because I was out four days in a row, on Friday night I was shouting for the DJ in the only rock pub in the Borders to play "some Aerosmith - come on, some pervy music for the chicks in the corner!"

There is a lot of Bon Jovi. Just change your name to 'Jam Bun Jovi' and have done.

Kitten

Jam Bun Jovi - very good!!

I'm getting fed up with Bon Jovi, we've also played You Give Love A Bad Name and are about to embark on In These Arms



Bassman
