TheNextChris Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm starting a band. I'm gonna sing and do rhythm guitar. I have a friend who will do lead guitar. We are gonna start out doing acoustic covers ( and hopefully originals ) while street performing. Any suggestions for a set from bands like Coldplay, Snow Patrol, U2, and Radiohead. We plan to start as a coldplay tibute, so I'm trying to make the set Coldplay oriented. I might have to censor some songs, because of a local ban on public profanity. I already have some thought up ( not in order ) Don't Panic Shut Your Eyes The Scientist Creep Chasing Cars Fix You Life in Technicolor ( i and ii ) Yellow Shiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNextChris Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 All of this should keep us busy. Of course, we have to be prepared for requests, by learning to play a number of overplayed '70s hits. That means we should learn freebird, and the first few notes of stairway, unless there's a "No Satirway to Heaven" sign, like in Wayne's World. I'll have to put together setlists of about five songs for each time we perform. Beatles songs could be a good addition Also Lost In My Place Get Back We should call our version of Lost "Lost?+@-!" That makes it sound like we're swearing :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryswinger Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 what about karma police? that's a classic! no surprises also works very well with 2 guitars. if you want trickier ones, try knives out or paranoid android. then, with coldplay, see you soon is very beautiful, but tricky too. i like playing we never change.
