The first song you played along to

[icysk8r]

So what was it?  For drums, mine was "Enter Sandman" even though I don't even like Metalicca that much.  It was because Enter Sandman was my favorite song to play on drums on Rock Band (nub).
First song on piano was probably Mary Had a Little Lamb  but my first real song was playing the right hand to "Everything I do" by Bryan Adams (nubnub)

What was yours'?

[wolfking]

Song of Joy.

[Plasmastrike]

Gosh, first song? I am not sure. I can list some songs that I consider my "beginner songs," though.

Guitar player here.

Iron Maiden
Blood Brothers
Dance Of Death
The Number Of The Beast

Megadeth
Symphony Of Destruction
Trust
Disconnect

Seven Nation Army

[Marvellous G]

Green Day's St Jimmy, then Mr Tambourine Man.

[setrataeso]

When I first started drumming my go-to albums were

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Deep Purple - Deepest Purple
Blink 182 - Enema of the State
Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Zoot Suit Riot

I got my metal, hard rock, punk, and swing right from the get-go.

But, I can't remember the first song. It was probably Deep Purple's Black Night.

[Birch Boy]

Seven Nation Army

Only song by The White Stripes that I can stand

I first played along with Judas Priest's "Living After Midnight" on drums. 

[antigoon]

WTF Birch Boy, the White Stripes are great.

[Birch Boy]

I can't stand them. But now thinking about them, there are a handful of good songs.

[BRGM]

ITPOE pt1

[Silver Tears]

I don't actually play it but when I first picked up a guitar my brother taught me how to play the solo from Goodnight Kiss.

[cthrubuoy]

ITPOE pt1

As your first song..? What instrument?

[Zydar]

The first song I ever learned to play on guitar was Love Is All Around (by The Troggs). Four chords, I think it was. I was around 13 years old.

[cthrubuoy]

Mine was the riff from Bullet in the Head by RATM, and then maybe Hitchin' a Ride by Green Day

[nemesiskoen]

The first song I played along to was Learning to Live. I played it twice on my own and when I found out how easy it is I went to the store to buy the album and turned it on to play along. This was on a classic piano.

[BRGM]

ITPOE pt1

As your first song..? What instrument?

Guitar


Can't play the end unison clean though, hehe and it's pretty hard just before that awesome guitar solo.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I really do not remember, but I'm thinking it was either "Deuce" or "Strutter" by Kiss.

[MykeHavoc]

I learned guitar by playing along to Misfits songs.

[ZBomber]

The first day I got my bass I learned "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Dragon Attack", both by Queen.

Some months passed, didn't do much.... and then a music performance came up at my school. So I wanted to play in that. I learned The Ocean by Led Zeppelin, minus the ending because no one was gonna play the solos. 

And the first song I FULLY learned was Cygnus X-1. I still fucking love that song. I haven't played it in awhile, but its so much fun.

[Jamesman42]

Hmm. Are You Gonna Be My Girl? by jet because of the cool bass lines.

DT-wise, SoC on bass.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Bass

First ever: Rush - Freewill

First DT: Scarred

[Plasmastrike]

ITPOE pt1

Guitar

I don't believe this was your first song or you can play it at all. Proof.

If you can, then I'll be proved wrong.

[BRGM]

I can't play it all, the end unison is way to hard, but it is seriously the first song I really learned on guitar (songs learnt in school does not count -.-) A friend of mine showed me guitar pro...the rest is history

I guess it sounded awfull at first ofc, and it's probably not spot on now either. but kinda close maybe?

[skydivingninja]

First was Limelight by Rush.

First DT: The Spirit Carries On.  Very few DT songs I can play on a 4-string, but all of Images except TTT was recorded with one...they're just really really really hard.

wimp

[skydivingninja]

You're calling me a wimp because I can't just go out and buy a 5 or 6 string bass and I can't play songs from Images well/at all after only a year of playing.  What a douchenozzle.

Actually, I forgot that I can play a good chunk of LtL save some pretty difficult parts.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

I'm calling you a wimp because all it takes is some practice to get down the I&W songs

It took forever to learn Under a Glass Moon but it was worth it


Actually, PMU or Surrounded would be the easiest choices

[Global Laziness]

The first song I learned to play all the way through on my crappy acoustic guitar when I was 13: Adam's Song by blink-182.

[Elsydeon]

The first song I learned to play on my guitar was dead leaves and the dirty ground by the white stripes.  gosh that was a long time ago

[DarkEternalNight]

Pussy by Rammstein. I had some others but this the only one I can think of that stands out because I wanted to learn it more than any other song.

[Progmetty]

Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls, bass and Green Day's Brain Stew, guitar.

[sneakyblueberry]

Seven Nation Army

Only song by The White Stripes that I can stand

fuk of

[Scard]

Bass player:

Seven Nations Army - White Stripes
Crazy Train - Ozzy
Spiders - System of a Down
Back in Black - AC/DC

[ScioPath]

I don't play along to too many songs. I mostly just practice technique, noodle, and learn parts of songs. But it may have been The Spirit Carries On.

[BRGM]

But playing along to songs are the most fun thing to do! :O I just played along to ITPOE and I totally fucked up the reckoning! But it's still very fun!!!
