Suggested Band Names

Name	Who Suggested	Comment
The Greatest Hits	Mike	Reason: If we ever put out a CD it would (by definition) be our "Greatest Hits" since it would be our only CD. (This is our commonly accepted name... for now.)
Axes of Evil	Bob	Reason: Since guitars (and other instruments) are often referred to as an "axe"... and given the president's "Axes of Evil" list I thought this would be funny. We could have song titles like "WMD" or "O Sama", etc.
The Raped Ape	Randy	Reason: (Ask Randy)

Interesting Tracks to Work On

Track Name	Track Time	Date	Recommender	Alternate Song Name	Comments
jam16	4:35-4:50	2004nov16	Bob	Thunder Brewing	Really like the rumbling bass under the other instruments.
jam2		2005feb01	Bob	Funk Ballad
spoonful		15feb05	Martin, Bob
tight like that		15feb05	Martin		not sure if you know but the bass groove is from clutch :)
drum groove		15feb05	Martin		I like what Ross is doing but we couldn't come up anything to put on top
falling thru the underground		15feb05	Martin
ja'man		15feb05	Martin
black hills rock		15feb05	Martin
rock me slow		15feb05	Martin
working on that american woman		15feb05	Martin		I kind of like the chorus I added but you probably don't :)
a little stone action		15feb05	Martin		that might just be a fun one to play just like be my girl or the doobie's song
feeling alright		15feb05	Martin		but that bass player's loosing it...too much crown/cokes

toy soldiers		15mar05	Martin
shooting the line		15mar05	Martin
throw down the pieces	2:57-end	22mar05	Randy		"Quite catchy"
gates of hell	whole thing	22mar05	Bob	(like the title too)	I really like this. Think it would really kick butt if we had an opening with Martin making his base "boom" like in warm and sticky from 0:20-0:30. (Like someone knocking on a really large door... a.k.a. the Gates of Hell.)
moments peace		22mar05	Martin		sounds like it has so much potential :)
jam11 & jam2		19oct04, 12apr05	Bob	Where Are They Now	These two tracks are similar. I like the April version a little more, this could be a good change of pace for us (a rock-ballad). As far as lyrics goes, it sounds kind of 80s-rockish to me, so I was thinking the lyrics could just be a list of 1-hit wonders from the 80s and 90s and some refrain about "Where are they now? Where are the bands I knew..."
