Here's another one for you guys:

What song would you love to see Sick Puppies cover at one of their shows? I know this is kinda crazy, but I think it would be fun to see them cover a song from the 80's. I have a whole album of punk bands who have covered 80's songs and it rocks. Somehow, I don't think Shim would go for that though.

I think Machinehead by Bush would be cool or maybe Bound for the Floor by Local H.

Wow Local H lol! I used to love them.

Me too Dana! I get so excited when Bound for the Floor comes up on shuffle! I would love to see Shim do the part where Scott is yelling near the end.

Keep in mind peeps, even if it's something silly that the band would never dream of doing (like my 80's request) it's what YOU would want to hear them play.

Last Train to Clarksville!!!
The older fans would recognize the song, I'm sure.

Ring of Fire - it'd be a combo country & punk: Johnny Cash & Social Distortion

Or if Shim WOULD agree to do a punk song....I can think of a couple.
> Bow Wow Wow's 'I Want Candy'
(Shim could have people rolling on the floor with that one)
> The Ramones: 'I Wanna Be Sedated'

Ugh - I listen to punk & I can't think of a really GOOD one, right now!! I even used to go to the underground shows (I had guy friends, BIG guy friends).

That's one of the coolest aspects about a Sick Puppies show: the incredible diversity of their fans. At one show, a few of us were talking about it & starting taking a tally. Within a 10-square-foot area (approximately) there were people aging from 16 to their 50s, a small group of bikers, another group that looked totally country, .....and that doesn't even go into the different ethnicities!
Most bands draw a certain type of 'crowd,' but NOT our Pups - they're an all-are-welcome band!

Omg if Shim covered Bow Wow...that would be so weird haha. I miss seeing Say My Name...but it would be fun to se him cover some current pop song...Gaga or Britney or something. I would die.

Walk This Way... the RunDMC version
and if we get to be as unreasonable as we want, Mark joins in on the rapping parts
or Never Gonna Give You Up because that would be the best rickroll ever

Violent Femmes' BLISTER IN THE SUN!!!

With Shim's personality - how many people would be laughing so hard that they wouldn't be able to sing along?

And if I didn't get to see that one, I'd cry.

Maybe they'd consider doing it on a webcast, just for us?

Violent Femmes! That would be amazing!

Too bad I couldn't get them to do Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond at the show in Massachusetts tomorrow night to celebrate the Red Sox. The crowd would go nuts over that one!

There's probably a lot more planning that goes into playing a cover song than we think. I just thought we could have a little fun getting our "wish list" out there. I have 3 shows coming up but I'm not sure how much time I'll have to actually talk to the band. If time/opportunity presents itself, I can always ask them how they go about choosing the cover songs they do play and what they have to do to get permission to play it. Then maybe I can tell them we have a few suggestions if and when they are ready.

I do think they could have a lot of fun with that song and whenever I see a band play it live the crowd always gets involved so Shim would love that. We'll see...I may chicken out before I get a chance to ask. Haha!

I want them to cover 'I Remember You' by Skid Row! That would be awesome!

JULIE! HI!!!

Tossing in Even Flow by Pearl Jam. If I'm remembering correctly, Emma's a PJ fan.
I'm trying to learn the actual words to this for myself, otherwise it sounds like gibberish XD
Also gonna put La Bamba on the table because who wouldn't think it would be funny to hear Shim sing in spanish?

That would be funny. Makes me think of his American he has in The Day. That was weird to hear.
