I moved this to a more appropriate place on the forum.

Songs that are guaranteed to get a crowd going??? hmmm, for playing the guitar I would say
Brown eyed girl.    by van the man
pinball wizard, the who

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

some deep purple, stones and a quit heavy interpretation of Dylan's KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR, not G&Roses, but YOUR interpretation, works always, because, older & younger people know the song, early sixties (Bob), and early nineties (Axl+Slash)

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

Just a Day - Feeder

It was the encore at wakestock 2006, the crowd were chanting it, they went crazy when it started!

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

Depends on the crowd.  My kind of crowd a country waltz usually works.  Tennessee Waltz and such. 

- Zurf

Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

If you are listed with other bands, I think you have to "show" more, the skills and that Ballads, Blues, Rock AND COUNTRY can go hand in hand.

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

Any juke box in the Southern States will have a mandatory selection of ZZ Top and Lenard Skinnard! Also some Hank Williams Jr...

Middleaged Redneck sorta guy who refuses to grow up...passion for music, especially Southern Rock but like bout everything cept Gangsta/Hip Hop. Collect guitars, mandolins, and love to ride Harleys.

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

Any one of the various Bob Seger rockers...or just about any ZZ Top tune.  We used to open with "Tush" then kick off Seger's "Come to Papa"

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

tennesee border by hank williams works wonders.

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers

Sweet Child O Mine, Paradise City, by Gun N Roses. Or try any Red Hot Chili Peppers, songs like "Suck My Kiss", or "Californication".

Some older rock stuff by Cheap Trick, Boston, REO Speedwagon, or Journey tends to work well.
