Got me Wrong by Alice In Chains is always a good one, better with two singers though.

every rose has its thorn
annihilator-phoenix rising
iced earth - waching over me
iced earth - when eagles cry
barenaked ladies - the flag
floyd - wish you were here

this should be enough to score with drunk chicks

The guitar tuning for that song is retarded if you try to play several songs in a row.

I agree, a drunk person with an acoustic around a campfire....that would suck- I saw it live in '97 and it was amazing -

although i don't play guitar, i fucking nail this song, along with all layne's parts in the acoustic stuff. if i had decent breath control (i don't, winded after five or six minutes) i could probably front a passable cover band.

Who does the high part in Man In A Box? If you can wail like that, you should start singing everyday.

Man in the box is one of the easier songs to sing. If you can make the transition from normal to falsetto flawlessly like he does before the solo in Would and in Rooster then you're doing not too bad for yourself in the vocal department.

you can falsetto all you want but it takes fucking pipes to sing the chorus of man in the box.

this is true. Also, the chorus to got me wrong is kinda hard to sing. Well it's obviously easy to sing, but hard to nail down and make the song sound sexy like it should be.

cuz goddamnit that's a sexy song, especially the verses.

The hardest part is the chorus, the last chorus being the most difficult. But it really isnt that hard hitting the notes, getting the correct tone or whatever is another thing.
