Any good advice for what to play when I'm going to that jam with those guys? I suspect that a bit of the less-common songs I know (the intro/chorus riff of "Chinese Democracy" for example) as well as some of my own riffs would be a good idea, since that's what we did last time, but since I have more to win or miss out on here, I'll rather be on the safe side. So what mix would give me the better chance of being inducted into the band? Only playing someone else's songs? Only own riffs? Or some mix between the two to cover the genres I want to play? The band I'll be "auditioning" for plays both originals and covers, by the way.

Again, I'm only asking because I really, really want to leave a good impression on these guys.
