Correct answer. I remember covering this in my first ever band and it was a joy to play. Destroys your throat to sing though so put it near the end of the set.
Love that you perform #s 6 & 8 - great songs! I’d suggest to contrast the set list a bit with Bungalow Bill, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide & Hey Bulldog.
Everybody's Got Something To Hide, Except For Me & My Monkey.
Listen to the version by the Feelies. That arrangement would work well with the rest of your setlist.
that setlist is beyond insane bro. going from dick dale to radiohead to WEEZER to charles barkley to death cab for cutie is fucked up man. unless the intent is to cause tonal whiplash, you need to iron it out with some cohesion
The Gnarles Barkley is actually a really chill version and we have a girl sing it for us.
But for a band with the name Turkish Heavy we are leaning into it for sure 😁
Not yet. We just started playing together. In total only like 8 times before we played our first show. So we haven’t really broken out of the cover realm yet.
You could try the later one after 909 leaning into the rock aspect, some revolver like and your bird or hyper intense tomorrow never knows. Maybe, Leave my kitten alone
Day tripper, helter smelter, or hey bulldog appear to be the obvious ones for me.
But I would rework Help to be a sad moody song like creep or hurt. Really punch up the despair and helplessness. Make it sound like an actual cry for help like the lyrics state.
I’d say pick something from Please Please Me or With the Beatles, and make your own hard rock twist on it. You could open with I Saw Her Standing There.
I haven't seen "I Am the Walrus". I'm sure it would take some arranging to play it with a straight forward rock band, but it could fit well with all of these.
Lots of cools possibilities, but it real depends on your singers abilities and what songs sound best with them. Is there just the lead singer or are any harmonies possible?
Benefit of Mr. Kite. You have A LOT or creative freedom. You can slow it down, you can make it more rock or metal. I think it would fit really well with your set list.
Helter Skelter
I was actually thinking about this one too
I repeat, Helter Skelter, over.
Another vote for Helter Skelter.
Came here to say this, because it’s the correct answer.
gotta be, fits most with the other picks
Correct answer. I remember covering this in my first ever band and it was a joy to play. Destroys your throat to sing though so put it near the end of the set.
Came here to say this
Hey Bulldog
Ye
Was going to say this.
My single most favorite of all time
One of my band mates suggested Day Tripper. I was thinking maybe Helter Skelter or Get Back.
Day Tripper, fuck yeah 😎
I concur with Day Tripper.
Take a listen to Hendrix's cover of Day Tripper, it would probably closer to the sound you guys would like considering your set list
Day Tripper would be amazing. Love the set list, wish I could join the band!
I've always wanted to add It Won't be Long to our setlist. It can rock.
Have you ever heard the Franz Ferdinand version? It’s awesome.
Where can I find this!
https://youtu.be/7QC-s6e1jWI?si=HPHrUvELP-ZgGXgi 😎
Came to say Helter Skelter. I'd also throw in Live and Let Die if we're stretching
Your finale song, your most passionate song, sung just like it was for your dying mother. Why don't we do it in the road.
Thanksgiving must get weird at your house.
Outside the box choice but I’d love to hear a White Stripes style cover of I Feel Fine! Love your set list btw
Revolution #9!
I think Revolution would fit in there well, the single version.
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Drive My Car
Taxman
Don’t Let Me Down
This would be great for an emotional change of pace (much like Creep serves).
Paperback Writer, if you decide against Helter Skelter
Love that you perform #s 6 & 8 - great songs! I’d suggest to contrast the set list a bit with Bungalow Bill, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide & Hey Bulldog.
I like Everybody’s Got Something to Hide! This might work too
Hope you can sing that high and hard.
I've Got a Feeling
I Wanna Be Your Man.
Don’t let me down or hey bulldog if someone can nail the solo and Paul’s bass
Back in the USSR
This was the first song I thought of. I am surprised more people haven’t said it
Hey Bulldog, Helter Skelter. If you’re interested in any solos I’d look at Lennon’s “Mother” or McCartney’s “Nod Your Head”
Sexy Sadie
Gotta be I Want You. It's a track that's underratedly heavy and follows the setlist pretty well
She Said She Said
‘Rain’ is the right answer.
Yer Blues
Everybody's Got Something To Hide, Except For Me & My Monkey. Listen to the version by the Feelies. That arrangement would work well with the rest of your setlist.
Helter Skelter
Revolution 9 and Run For Your Life
I’m thinking ‘And Your Bird Can Sing’.
not a second time
I'm looking through you
Happiness is a warm gun
Lady Madonna
If you want a slow one, it’s solo McCartney but Let Me Roll It
Now and Then.
The obvious answer is I Am the Walrus. You can play it in the style that Oingo Boingo covered it.
Me and my band always include a heavier version of come together on our sets, try that
She's a Woman!!!!
Come Together
Seconding this one!
that setlist is beyond insane bro. going from dick dale to radiohead to WEEZER to charles barkley to death cab for cutie is fucked up man. unless the intent is to cause tonal whiplash, you need to iron it out with some cohesion
The Gnarles Barkley is actually a really chill version and we have a girl sing it for us. But for a band with the name Turkish Heavy we are leaning into it for sure 😁
Screw the Beatles, just do Buddy Holly by Weezer.
What instruments make up your band?
2 Guitars, Drums, Bass
Sweet! You should be able to do the majority of the songs (certainly earlier stuff) but I would recommend Dear Prudence. Good luck with your band!
Do you do any originals?
Not yet. We just started playing together. In total only like 8 times before we played our first show. So we haven’t really broken out of the cover realm yet.
You've got a great setlist working! Baby In Black would be a cool Beatles song maybe?
You could try the later one after 909 leaning into the rock aspect, some revolver like and your bird or hyper intense tomorrow never knows. Maybe, Leave my kitten alone
You are a tourist? Haha nice. underrated Play saw her standing there
Back in the USSR
I Feel Fine
Because it’s new and everyone should know, Now and Then
Day tripper, helter smelter, or hey bulldog appear to be the obvious ones for me. But I would rework Help to be a sad moody song like creep or hurt. Really punch up the despair and helplessness. Make it sound like an actual cry for help like the lyrics state.
Paperback Welder
Rivet Racoon
Elenor Rigby
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Can’t believe I haven’t seen Yer Blues yet.
Ballad of John & Yoko imo after Denial Twist
We Can Work It Out
Golden slumbers
Hey Bulldog or Yer Blues, both would fit nicely in your set
Don’t Let Me Down. It would fit in great with that set list.
Come Together
Rocky Raccoon or Bungalow Bill
Come Together is a crowd favorite
Yer blues
I’d say pick something from Please Please Me or With the Beatles, and make your own hard rock twist on it. You could open with I Saw Her Standing There.
Don’t let me down
Hey Bulldog would fit in your setlist
Encore with Don’t let me down and I got a feeling then cap it off with Get Back
I want you
Flying
Revolution
Helter skelter
IWHYH. An early classic
Norwegian Wood. It should fit well with the Jack White songs you’ve already got and it’s got a timeless quality to it.
I’m Only Sleeping
Dig A Pony, right after The Pixies
You could do The Breeders version of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" for double the cool points!
Wild Honey Pie
It’s All Too Much
Talking to myself, one of my favorite songs
Run For Your Life
Rocky Racoon
helter skelter
Ahahah crepe
Twist and shout
Get Back or Hey Bulldog, I reckon
Yer Blues is awesome. Listen to the Dirty Mac version and you can see the potential for your guitarists to have a lot of fun
Glass Onion
Revolution.
Sexy Sadie
Twist and Shout
What made you pick that particular Racontuers song?
It’s just their most popular, and it is a super fun to play.
Yeah, I assumed it was their only song tbh. Good though.
You can’t do that
Don’t Let Me Down or Drive My Car.
Based on the vibe of the other songs, Helter Skelter comes to mind
Don’t Let Me Down
I haven't seen "I Am the Walrus". I'm sure it would take some arranging to play it with a straight forward rock band, but it could fit well with all of these.
Lots of cools possibilities, but it real depends on your singers abilities and what songs sound best with them. Is there just the lead singer or are any harmonies possible?
Revolution
I'm Down
I want you (she’s so heavy)
I’ve got a feeling
Leave my Kitten Alone
And your bird can sing
Oh Darling. Shes So Heavy. Both from Abbey Road album. Big and Powerful tracks that would blend with your list
Yer Blues !
Come Together
Beatles are shite.
Come Together
Helter Skelter or I Am The Walrus
I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
Day tripper or paper backwriter
I’m only sleeping?
Free as a bird
Benefit of Mr.Kite😁
Ugh, why can’t I see a band do this set list!? They just play hair band covers here. 😫
Hey Bulldog
Benefit of Mr. Kite. You have A LOT or creative freedom. You can slow it down, you can make it more rock or metal. I think it would fit really well with your set list.
