    I'll tentatively put myself down to be Angus in Noise Pollution (it is my username, after all...)

    (Unless @Brocco wants it; it's his song choice.)

    I'll add it to the next update.

    I assume (like last time) we can have multiple run throughs, so more that one person can nominate themselves for the same role.

    It's not a competition.

    Id be up for Audioslave - Be Yourself and Gold on the ceiling - The Black Keys - great songs

    My 3 suggestions-
    Rolling Stones - not sure what yet - Dead Flowers ? Gimme Shelter?
    The Doors - Roadhouse Blues
    Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey - a heavily fuzzed out reverb soaked 3 guitar version. Or Darklands - came up next on spotify!!

    It would be good to narrow it down to 3 specific choices. I used to play Gimme Shelter, so I'm OK with the guitar on that one.

    Ok
    jesus and Mary chain - April skies
    stones - gimme shelter
    Doors - roadhouse blues
    Karma......

    Okay with me (if I'm feeling brave I may have a go at the intro)!

    @Neilybob would it be possible to edit your first post in this thread to keep a tally of who's 'in' for the jam, so it's easy to check without scrolling through the thread.

    Sorry I've been busy with other stuff, but I'll start a spreadsheet of songs very soon.

    Good shout.  Done

    There's an update to the songlist at the end of this post, with some roles filled and the key (concert pitch) included.

    Let me know if you have any comments or spot anything wrong. I've put the concert pitch down, so people can decide whether they detune to match the original where applicable. A couple aren't actually at concert pitch so I've made a note of how much I think they're out.

    @mrkb what do you want to do on Gimme Shelter? I've currently got you down for vocals, and you and me down for guitar

    I've added two run throughs of Just What I Needed, one with @Bennyboy-UK on lead and one with @spark240. I've also added @Brocco on rhythm. I've put myself down on Bass for that one, unless anyone else wants to do it.

    **Deleted image. See updated version in more recent post **

    I’ll do vocals on all my suggestions and rhythm guitar.

    will sing on Be Yourself - I’ve improved a lot at that since we did it a few years ago.

    don’t know the drums to any of those suggestions so might not be able to do as many drum songs this time. 

    Will do BRMC, but need to listen to other tracks to see what else I can drum on.

    I've updated the song list to show (in red) the ones where the guitar is tuned to Eb or D standard.
    * Indicates Eb standard
    ** Indicates D standard

    For those songs, we can wait until we have a vocalist who can decide whether retuning is necessary to drop the keys.

    Put me down for lead guitar on my selections (songs 10,11,12) and Lead on April Skies. Happy to sing on that to if others want a go at it with a different lineup.

    Update list below. I've got two run throughs  of April Skies now, one with @bobblehat on vocals and one with @mrkb.

    I've just noticed that April Skies is tuned down a semitone. Do either of you want to do it in Eb or E?

    I can't help thinking we should follow I fought the law with something by the police, and then do Jailbreak after that.

    And at some point in the past we talked about doing Bowie's version of China Girl, but it didn't happen in the end. Does anybody fancy channelling their inner SRV?

    I've played Let's Dance in bands many times. Is that close enough? Otherwise I'm up for learning China Girl.

    Here's an updated song list. I've got 2 run trhoughs of 'I Fought The Law', one with @Jonathangus on rhythm and one with @Brocco

    I've also added China Girl at the suggestion of @mart. I'll have a go at the lead guitar role unless anyone else wants to do it.

    Let me know if I've missed anything or if there are any errors.

    I'd be happy with either Let's Dance or China Girl.

    OK, I'll change it to Let's Dance at the next update, as I know that already.

    I was having a muse that I’d like to maybe have a crack at a bit of 80s hair metal - something like Nothing but a Good time by Poison or Dr Feelgood by Mötley Crüe.

    Can we have go at those do you think?
    I'm always looking for interesting USA Hamers for sale.

    At the moment I'm looking for Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62, Vanguard.

    Please drop me a message.
