Imagine that you're at a party. There's a piano, guitar, drums, harp, and other instruments available. Everyone's having a good time, and people start doing impromptu one-person performances. It's your turn now.
It's just you, your larynx, and one instrument of your choice. What one song would you most like to be able to perform as well as the original artist?
It would be hard for me to pass up Great Balls of Fire. If you nail that song, you're never buying a drink at a party again. [Reply]

Knowing the crowd I'd be around, I'd go with:
War Pigs - Black Sabbath (although playing guitar/having no drums would be the suck)
Point of No Return - Kansas
Touch, Peel and Stand - Days of the New
Rocket Man - Elton John
War Pigs used to be one of our signatures. Played it pretty much every show for a few years. [Reply]

I've seen G & R in concert a couple times over the years (last time it was some years ago in Glendale , AZ ). Say what you want about Axl Rose as a person but damn that dude is a one of a kind front man/ lead singer. And "November Rain" is just such an EPIC song all the way thru.
Ehhh not the classic that some listed here are but I still crank up the radio when the guitar hits at the beginning of "Cumbersome" so I'm rolling with that. [Reply]
