If it's Hawkwind can't we do a real one?

Needle Gun, Magnu, Hurry on Sundown, Dragons and Fables, Space is Deep, Kings of Speed (which absolutely isn't identical to Needle Gun no no no no).

Or chuck in a Calvert? Urban Guerilla anyone?

I don't have a bass cool enough.. but i do have a disturbing amount of bullet belts, bandana's and spandex.. and a bass.. so i'm in!

Might even dig out the ole' snakeskin cowboy boots and aviators..

vasselmeyer · August 2018

Damn…we're really going to do it, aren't we?

See what you've done @thomasross20 ;

Put me down for paradise city.

@thomasross20 That is actually doable. If you be Slash, I'll be Izzy! We need someone to sing it though.

If no-one else volunteers first I'll sing anything so don't worry about that.

If we get Mary to turn up just as you're about to start singing, you'll sound just like Axl.

I think we need to be prepared to segue straight into some Barry White just in case, keep me low and cool...

mrkb · August 2018

Yep for Paradise city - just need to brush that one up - haven't played that rhythm for 15 years!

djspecialist · August 2018

I hope it's OK to suggest a few songs even though I'm not able to come to this particular jam...

Always On The Run - Lenny Kravitz

Chemistry - Semisonic

Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young

Radio Free Europe - R.E.M.

The Killing Moon - Echo And The Bunnymen

What's The Frequency, Kenneth? - R.E.M.

World Shut Your Mouth - Teardrop Explodes

I've played all of these in a four-piece (two guitars), and I reckon most are pretty easy to get a handle on. I have basic song sheets (lyrics + chords) which I'd happily share if they would be of any use.

How's your high Db coming on? Gonna need some tight pants to reach those heady heights. In fact unless you can convince people to tune down to Eb, which usually doesn't go down too well, it'll be a high D.

Axl does present a vocal challenge.

It would be a challenge indeed, hard to do for the gig, possibly more of a Sunday jam number in any case?

Indeed ... what a fantastic selection! Was playing Urban and Hurry amongst other things tonight. Happy with any of those.

Let’s make sure we get one in for you - you’ll need to make sure there’s a few others to join you on it

LuttiS · August 2018

I can do the intro to Silver Machine on the hand dryer at work!

I’d pay to see you bring that along...

thomasross20 · August 2018

Eh are we actually going to try paradise city?

If you're serious then let me know so I can dust off the electric!

thomasross20 · August 2018

So this is for Huddersfield Feb..
I'll have it down no probs by then and even dress as Slash....

I can do sweet child in my sleep so be good to try another one. Nightrain also cool but I'll settle on any!

Earth Calling .... This is Earth Calling .... @Snags ..... you have a preference?

Snags · August 2018

@fandango Not off the top of my head. I've got a long drive on Friday, I'll subject Mrs Snags to a Hawkfest. My only real 'objection' (for want of a better word) to Silver Machine is it's a bit obvious and there's an extensive catalogue to.choose from

darthed1981 · August 2018

I think we have a solid longlist of both "Saturday/gig" and "Sunday/work and jam" songs now.

BUT - if anyone hasn't chipped in, do! The fact that there are lot of suggestions does not mean yours will be at the bottom, shortlist comes from the entire long list! I'm putting everything on.

And if you feel you’ve missed out - pipe up - everyone who pays and comes gets at least one song that they really want to do!

thomasross20 · August 2018

Just FYI I still remember about 90% of paradise city and play it about 90% note for note, hope that's ok. And it's a tricky one! Will try to record it sometime..

This sort of thing really gears you up.. almost gives you a reason for living (serious)!

We will tolerate note for note perfection seeing as it’s you

thomasross20 · August 2018

Lol.. hopefully my slash wig will distract folk.. totally awesome!!

pmbomb · August 2018

@Snags I couldn't name a single Hawkwind tune apart from Silver Machine and Sonic Attack, but love 'em all the same. Saw them early 80s, and last year. Bring it on.

I'm working on Ace of Spades now so would love to play it at the gig. Recording less important.

TADodger · August 2018

Got to say I’ve lost the plot on the proposed song list a bit, so can an initial list be posted and we can work from that pls?

That's ok - the organising team did a bit too

We are sorted now - and published lists will be forthcoming. Quad is a priority due to proximity, but Sasquatch will follow toot suite

Snags · August 2018

@fandango to give @darthed1981 a chance to pull something together, how about picking one of Kings of Speed or Urban Guerilla? The former is probably one of the easier to do without synth/horns, the latter has a more interesting vocal.

Howdy, Stranger!
