Dedicated to all those in a Cover Band !

[AprioriMark]

Lol, in my personal experience, hippies all request Freebird absolutely every time I have ever played an outdoor festival.  I have other hippy experiences as well, but none that I even want think about.  I need to go take a shower just having thought about Freebird again.

I like southern rock well enough, btw.

Call Me The Breeze is their magnum opus in my book.

I second that notion.

+ 3, Freebird got old so fast

 

[GoDrex]

requesting Freebird is just a dumb joke - no one really wants hear it.  I think people that yell it out at shows these days should be beaten by the crowd around them.

I related to that all too well.  My favorite is when they don't know the name of the song, but a lyric.  I've gotten several requests on napkins that said "Change in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling," which is drunk girl for The Georgia Satellites' "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," which we don't do.  I have shamefully and in protest done "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" more times than I can count.  If you don't want to do it, somehow you're the A-hole.  I reply Skynrd's great.  I love the Ballad of Curtis Lowe, Call me the Breeze, and I know a Little to which the requestee replies, "Who does that."  Those same people want to hear G 'n' R's "Every Rose has it's Thorn."  You don't even want to try to explain that that's Poison's song.  And what is it about playing Southern Rock, Country, and Classic Rock that makes people think you know any Def Leopard?

I also love Tuesday's Gone and Simple man.

Zuroma's Colleyville Friday Night.  I'm in a Blues trio that night.  There will be 3.5 Warmoths there.

 

[Vol. Knob]

I play in a cover band.  I just tell people we don't do requests.  I've been in this position before, where someone requests something really far away from my band's style, or something I've not even heard of, then they'll go on and on and on about how brilliant their suggestion is and how we'd do a lot better if we played that song.  Really annoying. 

I don't know what this thread has to do with hippies though.  I guess some people just love be haters.

 

[jackthehack]

Those aren't hippies, they're most typically Southern White Trash still caught up in the Billy Ray Cyrus hairdo phase...

Achy Breaky Heart....  :confused4:
