My school is having a talent show thursday. We decided on playing "bad day" by Fuel. There is another band with a not-so-decent singer performing Californication. i think we have a good shot at winning this thing.
Input, suggestions, comments are welcome

Havn't heard of the Song Bad Day by Fuel.
Have heard of the Song Bad Day by Daniel Po--- Something or other.
Californication Is a wicked cool song.
But you should just kick their arses. Good luck.

At least youre not doing a typical school cover like RHCP or Greenday. Thats all school kids do these days, when my school band do covers we do something different.
Good luck anyway.

I know. Bob Marley is a lyrical genius. Such groove and funk in his music as well. I don't think people would appreciate it though...
But meh.. Maybe In Highschool.

We thought about playing " Simple Man" by Skynyrd because the kids at the school would go balistic but my singer refused..even though he is quite good.
It's so weird that the Chilipeppers were the big thing when I was in highschool too. Good luck though!

Uh, Im doing some red hot chili peppers for this gig, but kick some *** man. I think doing some Bob Marley would kick ***. But can you cover genius like bob marley, its kinda like covering Pink Floyd. It can be done, but can it be done well?

My grade 8 talent show we played Sweet Child o' Mine (Guns N' Roses)
and The Ocean (Led Zeppelin) it was pretty sweet. There were no winners in our shows but we totally would have won. Good luck to you, although I think Californiacation is a more popular song. You'll still win :thumb:
EDIT: Bob Marley OWNS!!!!

Good luck, I hope you guys win. Now for my rant about my talent show. It basically comes down to two bands, us and another. Both are made up of members of our old bad that split. My band is far superior where musical talent is concerned, but I'm pretty shure the other guys will win. They are purely a Green Day/Weezer cover band and generally have more crowd response. Anyways, sorry about that, and good luck.
What song are you going to play?

Do white riot by the clash, or my generation by the who. Everyone i've ever met loves to hear those songs live.
