[BigBellyRocker]

Do you guys have a list of songs that we shouldn't play at Guitar Center when trying out some new gears? I don't want to be one of those that get caught playing some cheesy song and later getting ridicule by the many guitar virtuoso on the Internet forum. Below is an initial list of songs that you shouldn't be playing at Guitar Center when trying out new gear.

1. Lay It Down - Ratt
2. Talk Dirty To Me - Poison
3. Iron Man - Black Sabbath
4. Stair Way To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
5. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

9. Eye of the Tiger
10. Sweet Child O' Mine

Unless you have some cash of course.

I get the point of the thread, and, sure, I've heard things that made me cringe. But the only time it really bothers me is:
A) If it's someone that has all of the attitude and can't pull it off
B) When it's so loud that I can't speak with the sales folks

Nine times out of ten, it's a young kid that's just getting started and has an interest in music and gear. And that's a beautiful thing that should be fostered

I don't really care what anyone plays and honestly don't pay attention to what people are playing on my very rare trip to GC. I just thought the thread was pretty funny.

Cliffs Of Dover. If I want to hear something get butchered I'll go to the deli.

Any tuning with the low E tuned down sooo low that only whales can hear it.


If you're an old guy with Khaki shorts on don't play any Tom Petty. You're going to play it at your pool side gig anyway, why play it on your day off?

Any Limp Bizquick. They sucked 15 years ago and suck worse now. Don't suck like them.

Any Black Sabbath. Iommi was missing fingers..........are you making fun of the disabled?


Any songs that reference guns. Think of the Liberal hipsters and their feelings?

Iommi is missing a couple of fingertips, he still used those fingers.

Seriously, I've met a few cool people. One guy I spoke with toured with Ozzy (with Jake) and Motley Crue in the early 80's. He had pics to back it up. Was a pretty cool conversation.

I live in the middle of an Indiana cornfield. We don't get those kinds of people at GC - or anywhere else
