what instrument do you play primarily?

do any of you here go about learning songs by other bands?

out of boredom or just a desire to know how to play it?

and if so, are there bands whose songs you know a lot of? even entire albums by?

and if yes to that which bands/albums?

i'll go first...

i play bass. i don't think i know entire albums by anyone, but bands whose songs i know a lot of:

band: approximate # of songs
1. the ramones: 40
2. the jesus lizard: 30
3. led zeppelin: 30
4. shellac: 15
5. big black: 10
6. scratch acid: 10
7. the birthday party: 20
8. fugazi: 15
9. wire: 15
10. the stooges: 20
11. new order/joy division: 25

super geeky, i know, but i'm curious. so...indulge me, would ya?[/i]

I play guitar and bass and I only play Carcass "Feast on Dismembered Carnage", "Mucopurulence Excretor" and "Vomited Anal".

When I was 18 I could play Blood Sugar Sex Magic note-for-note. I can barely remember my own name now...

Who the fuck is Mickey Cochrane?

I could play 'Warehouse Songs and Stories' note for note when I was around 16 or so. I reckon I can probably still remember around half of it.

Anybody want to play bass and drums in my 'Du covers band?

I also think I can remember how to play most of 'Goat'.

.....but recently I've been mostly playing Anal Cunt, Don Caballero, Lightning Bolt,Yungwie Mamlsteen and I love singing like Yamatsuka Eye.

super geeky.... agreed. i am a super geek though, so to stay out of this thread would be to live in a state of repression...

over time, i've learned to play many pavement songs.... 90% of the songs from the first song on the first EP to the last song on the third LP. i do it because i like to hear new versions of songs, which is what i provide myself with when i play a song. plus, there's little learning to do, what with all the open tunings.

also, marquee moon. i read some pitchfork review one time that said something like "learning to play marquee moon is impossible, and anyway it would be pointless and stupid!" and i thought 'oh? fuck you,' so i learned to play marquee moon. i can play as either verlaine or lloyd. no shame at all.

also, lots of fall songs.... mostly from hex, grotesque, and savin' grace

lots of VU songs.

lots of replacements songs.

One day I wish I can do human beat box over Sisqo's "Thong Song".
Can someone teach me how to do human beat box?
What is best? Thin lips? Fat lips? I lost one tooth one day. Will I still be able to do human beat box?

I have playe the guitar for 17 years. I remember figuring out 'Dragoon' from Bitch Magnet's Ben Hur...I thought I was a god on earth.
