 What do you soundcheck with? I've taken to mic-checking with Somewhere Over The Rainbow. It amuses me.
Back when I metalled, my bassist and I would run through Slaughter Of The Soul at soundcheck, but this was before the whole -core thing when you really had to know your metal to know At The Gates.
These days my guitar check isn't anything special. I should play something specific for laughs or to reference cool rockingness.
What do you bitches all do?

 Re: What do you soundcheck with? Mikacheckaonetwo.
And for guitar, it usually involves a descending E minor pentatonic scale ending with a showy pinch harmonic on the low E string, 5th fret.
For anything else, smack it... if it makes noise, it's functioning.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? Probably a hair metal riff of some kind.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? Well I don't really gig much any more but when I fill in.. One big A chord, left to ring out so that it merges into delicious feedback. For that moment I feel like a rock god. Then we start playing shitty covers

Re: What do you soundcheck with? I imagine it would be with some ridiculous Thin Lizzy riff.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? it changes depending on my mood. Vocal checks recently have been, Wicked Game (whilst strumming the acoustic, I check my vox and acoustic at the same time) last week it was an odd cover of when Doves Cry. On guitar I usually pick something my drummer likes, which would be an alternative 90's tune. This week was Possum Kingdom.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? I actually learned how to play (most of) Possum Kingdom by ear not too long ago.
I was jamming along with it, such a great song.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? it's funny I knew the song but never knew that name of it. is that in the lyrics or something? I just never pay attention to lyrics... I know there's DO YOU WANNAA DIE

Re: What do you soundcheck with? The Toadies just generally rock shit.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? Actually IIRC I sent cameron a quick clip of me playing the intro through the Poulin Marshall sim.
Which, btw, can do a pretty good Toadies toan.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? Personally, I just whip out whatever...sometimes I've actually gotten song ideas out of little riffs I stumbled into for soundcheck.
Bandwise, we have a bit of a jam thing we wrote specifically for soundcheck purposes.

Re: What do you soundcheck with? Yus Enveno did that too... we had a minute long song fragment that was never completed, so we'd just run through it together to make sure everything sounds good. _________________Member of the Radium Water Gentlemen's League Of Luxury.
