Will anyone besides me admit that there are songs that just never seem to work out exactly?

My two are: 5:15 by the Who and In The Long Run by the Eagle

Always miss a part.

It's just the principal of the thing. If I like a song well enough to play it, I want to play it exactly like the original. Just my weirdness. Before I got an amp with headphone out, that was the Galien-Kruger Backline 210, HATED IT!,I drove wifey crazy doing a bunch of Rush. Geddy can be tricky.

I used to have a blast playing Rush tunes. All of the tunes have certain bass parts that are challenging.

I love playing this song. It is so simple but I(we) always have the best time playing it.

Man, it's been a long time since I heard that. Got a laugh at the album cover too.

Some times the simple stuff is the best. It's all about having fun, isn't it?

For those of you involved in this thread, I never got notifications that anyone replied. It happens now and again.

Being the uncoordinated goon that I am, I can never seem to nail down that galloping triplet style used by Steve Harris. And that really nags at me, because I up the Irons whenever I can.

Do what I do. The song that makes you crazy is the best warm up song. It's challenging and your concentration is turned up. Doing something that is hard makes you better.


Have fun with it.

I usually do warm up with a few bars of The Trooper.

The only songs that really drive me nuts are songs I have to learn for a gig where the bass is mixed down so low its hard to hear. That drives me nuts!

When I hear "The Final Countdown" I want to just smash things !!!!!! Maybe take a sledge hammer to the radio. That song has to be the absolute worst pop rock (whatever) ever to be dribbled upon human ears. Plus those guys looked like girls to boot.
