Thread: Halloween band live set

Tweet

Hey guys,
Me and some friends are toying with the idea of creating a band for this upcoming season.
He has a lot of connections and has some venues we can already play.
I need some suggestions for some songs to do in a 45 min - 60 min set.

we are thinking:
- Monster mash (of course)
- Thriller
- Ghostbusters theme
- Welcome to my Nightmare (Alice Cooper)

If you were to go see a rockin' halloween band, what songs would you expect to see??

(Don’t Fear) The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bark at the Moon – Ozzy Osbourne
Bat Out of Hell – Meat Loaf
Beast of Burden – The Rolling Stones
Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen – Santana
Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) – Concrete Blonde
Dead Man's Party – Oingo Boingo
Devil With a Blue Dress On, Good Golly Miss Molly – Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels
Feed My Frankenstein – Alice Cooper
Frankenstein – Edgar Winter Group
Ghost Town (Extended Version) – The Specials
Highway To Hell – AC/DC
Hotel California – Eagles
House of the Rising Sun – The Animals
Little Red Riding Hood – Sam 'The Sham' & The Pharaohs
Pet Sematary – The Ramones
Psycho Killer – Talking Heads
Red Right Hand – Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
Riders on the Storm – The Doors
Runnin' With the Devil – Van Halen
Spirit In the Sky – Norman Greenbaum
Spooky – Atlanta Rhythm Section or Dusty Springfield
Sympathy for the Devil – The Rolling Stones
Twilight Zone – Golden Earring
Voodoo – Godsmack
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) – The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon
Witchy Woman – The Eagles

Just some of my favorites. I have an extensive list of Halloween related music. PM me if you want the complete list.

Discard,
Thanks for the list... my problem isn't that I don't have or know the music... (I have 4 gb of halloween hits)...
it's that it is hard for me to limit my selection down to 1 set.

i guess i should have asked if you were to go to a show and watch a halloween band play a set, what songs would you be disappointed if you didn't hear them do?

Thanks again!

for halloween, think ozzy, alice cooper, or slipknot. you could have a projector play video's that are creepy. one is spit it out- slipknot, the video is like the shining, but all the members are the characters.
