I've seen them play KISS and a couple little riffs from GnR for the crowd, but when there's a celebrity in the house, anything goes.

For example, at Brian's last show with the band at the Whisky, Bobby Blotzer from Ratt got up and played Round & Round with the band. Pretty sure Blotz and Ralph are buddies but I think they would do this for just about any celeb that's willing. It's definitely a cool thing to see and a great way for the guys to showcase their talent and range.

You name it, we can probably play it!! Russ pulls out almost anything and any style on guitar, we just follow him from there. Scott has the chops to play anything, Ralph is one of the best singers I've ever heard, and I just pretend like I know what I'm doing.

Well, in a "regular" show, you can expect the Atomic Punks to cover EARLY VAN HALEN (duh), but I've also seen them cover DLR solo (Yankee Rose), Van Hagar (Why Can't This Be Love), and others that have already been mentioned.

Ralph and Russ have been playing with Metal Shop for years, I've seen Joe fill in for the Metal Shop bass player several times, and I've even heard that Scott has rehearsed to fill in for the Metal Shop drummer, so they'll occaisonally play any song from the Metal Shop set list.

These are some talented guys!

BTW, I'd agree that Ralph and Bobby are buddies... here is a picture of them having dinner at The Canyon club before an Atomic Punks show in July 2001:

Bobby was very cool to hang with [Thumbs Up!]

one of the coolest things i have EVER seen, and i think it might have been my first AP show... kevin dubroe was in the audience. after the set break, they brought kevin up and did a couple of quiet riot tunes... i think ralph was more amazed than anyone else. it was FANfuckin'TASTIC!!

AT an Atomic Punks show..i've heard them break into Guns n roses, Motley Crue, Zeppelin, Ozzy, Poison, Bon Jovi, and some others. They even have played a lot of pop songs on the radio at the time just to make fun of it. Sugar Ray is one I can remember that I actually recognized.. Sometimes they play an entire song, sometimes just a verse of it.
