Power ballads?

[phlogiston]

I'm in the mood for some big, hokey power ballads. Suggestions?

Along the lines of Skid Row - Wasted Time and White Lion - When the Children Cry.

Go.

If its a really cheesy power ballad you want.. you can't go past "I Wanna Be With You" by Pretty Boy Floyd

 

[Spruce Goose]

I learnt Bed Of Roses on my keyboard last week. Sounds tops with orchestra sound over grand piano sound .

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Cool! I wanna learn that I learnt November Rain on piano the other week hehe.

 

[spawn]

Have you heard the acoustic version of November Rain from before they were signed? Its awesome

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah, I have the chords for November Rain at home. It doesnt look too difficult. I think there is one part that I struggle with. Going from Eb to F#m I think it is. I know the chords, it's just an awkward change. Might give it a go tonight.'

Ooh... I also learnt My Immortal and Christina Aguliera's Beautiful. That is piss easy....

And, I learnt Sultans of Swing.... I like playing that one. Sounds cool with my dad playing guitar

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

All I can play is November Rain and Don't Know What You've Got by Cinderella haha, I rock

Bon Jovi - Always
Bad English - When I See You Smile
