First of all, No Woman No Cry is a Bob Marley song, not a Sublime song. I hate ska.
Second, whatever happened with your big movie night?

Sublime does a cover of it...ours is closer to theres because i could never amount to bob marley so i dont try
and they postponed movie night until november something. there thinking they may let us watch texas chainsaw masscre orignal cuz thers not very much swearing or nudity only violence

How long is your set, matthew? I wouldn't do the deftones. Unless your lead is really good, the vocals will sound like crap.
It saddens me, I wish more youngsters were into the "old time rock 'n' roll". Why don't you try some Van Halen, or Zeppelin, or Hendrix? All this punk/ska crap is so overplayed on the radio and everywhere else for that matter. Break out some old stuff if you guys got the goods, matthew. That'll wow 'em. You know what? They probably won't know what to think--the teenie boppers will think you've invented some strange, new kind of music..
..And to quote Van Halen, you'll definitely 'get some leg' that night.

i open the shows usally by playing "eruption" in tribute to van halen...and once when we played an acoustic set we did stairway to heaven...it was cool...but ya we have 45mins

You should do Johnny B. Goode. I've heard that like five timesin the past two days on the radio. Great song.

i can actually play that...but as a band it wouldnt appeal to the audience we play to...im sure if we played a show with an older audience we would...thanks

Your band must suck. I didn't see anything angry in there...

Well, Back to School would be cool, that's angry enough, but like I said, I don't believe almeida could do it. Nope. No way. Never. Not a chance.

odds are we will do a deftones cover...we almost always do..but it maynot be back to school...we might do "root" or "bored" instead.

I know a good song for your band to perform. The song I am always singing to myself in school. "The Love Song" by Marilyn manson
"Do you love your gun!
(yeah)"
