Inside that little light in your refridgerator

Me and my band currently have seven songs. We want an eighth song to close with. Any suggestions?

Here's the set list;

Stay With Me - You Me At Six
Everlong - Foo Fighters
Rock and Roll - Led Zepellin
The Kill - 30 Seconds to Mars
Juicebox - The Strokes
Master Exploder - Tenacious D (this one's just for giggles, but it's quite impressive)
Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

Any suggestions are welcome, guys

:EDIT:
Woops, forgot to mention that it has to have two guitar parts.

An original song? I'll stop being an arse now.

Dust in the Wind is probably slow but has great parts to it, and on a similar note Carry on My Wayward Son. Peace of Mind by Boston is tasy and the guitar solos aren't terribly difficult if your guys can handle double-lead. I'll try to think of something from the last decade...

Probably work

I wasn't aware you could end a concert with anything other than Freebird...

Seriously though, probably the coolest end to a concert I've been to (other than seeing the Wall performed by Waters himself) was a couple years ago when I saw Smashing Pumpkins. They had these timpani drums set up on one end of the stage and as an encore, Billy came out onto stage and started wailing on them. Eventually they started playing bird sounds in the background, and that was when I knew things were getting awesome. They broke out into Floyd's Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and it was really cool. You'd need some timpanis though, and that's not exactly an easy thing to come up with, especially for a smaller band.

Working an original song in is always good, though I wouldn't recommend it for a closer. Largely it depends on the venue. If we're talking bars here, maybe Reel Big Fish's "Beer"?

journey - don't stop believing

But to be serious, I would shy away from the slower/sad sounding songs. It's anticlimactic and imo makes for a weak finish.

You should finish with something that you find to be upbeat, powerful and exciting. Something you know will get the crowd going. Judging by your set list you've got a lot of options since you've got a good variety going already. I would suggest something my Rammstein like Duhast.

I saw Sabaton a while ago, they ended by playing Metal Crue and Metal Machine back to back without stopping. That was freaking awesome.Megadeth ended with Holy Wars, at least the last 2 times i've seen them. Both great ways to end

As far as original stuff goes, we're going to get ten songs done perfect; then start on a few of our own songs (3-5).

It shouldn't be too difficult, as the guys are quite talented musically - I'm just the tag along bassist

Thanks for the contributions guys, I'll present them to the band later tonight.

Looking at your list I would suggest maybe Rock of Ages by Def Lepard. Or Peace Sells by Megadeth.

+1 to Aces High.

It's all in how you do the song.

What is this band you talk of? Surely you mean string quartet, or symphony, perhaps even a bassoon duo?

If you can't think of anything, just do an extract from Phillip Glass' 'Silence', preferably the exiting part where they turn the page.
