Wayne’s World started a trend – a forbidden song trend – led by the all-time forbidden #1: Stairway to Heaven. Our opinion is if you can play that beauty – have at it. Masterpiece; always and forever!

And, of course there are more on the ‘traditional’ ‘forbidden’ list: Sweet Child O’Mine, Smoke on the Water, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Wonderwall, Enter Sandman, HOTRS, Crazy Train. None of which are forbidden or frowned up by your friendly staff at MGR STL…

But – if we may jovially highlight some new ones (NOS actually) we have heard in the rotation ‘again’ lately – and some suggestions…

Currently Hearing:
Sunshine of Your Love and Crossroads (Go EC!)
Journey via Stone in Love and Don’t Stop Believin’ (Piano ticklers)
Boston’s More Than a Feeling
Metallica’s Master of Puppets (no doubt because of Stranger Things
AC/DC’s Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long
RHCP’s Under the Bridge and Can’t Stop
We could go on, and on, and on…

Well known suggestions to impress us:
Battery by Metallica – serious tough riffage
Schism by Tool – doom prog it baby
Any lick from any Eric Johnson tune
That’s Just the Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby (piano ticklers)
Highway Star, the solo (Master Ritchie at his finest…)
Snow (Hey Oh) by RHCP – seriously demanding lickage
And finally – And Your Bird Can Sing – both guitar parts in harmony – Beatles challenge thrown…

In summary – anything you play we are good with it. We are just proud you chose to share it with us in our store. We will empower any of your favorites! Popular, unpopular, norm or avant-garde – give it to us!
