Rock first dance songs

Christine, on December 11, 2017 at 1:10 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 10

Has anyone used a rock song for their first dance? Looking for some other suggestions. FH and I are big metal fans and we are trying to find a first dance song that won't be too crazy for our guests but that we still love. So far we've thought of a couple songs by Shinedown that could work and an acoustic version of Song #3 by Stone Sour.

    What Shinedown songs have you thought of?

    Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith would always work.

    We're doing Just Like Heaven by the Cure. FH is a huge metal fan and I tend to be more of a post punk/ rockabilly fan so at one point we were considering the Michale Graves acoustic version of Saturday Night which lyric wise isn't very wedding appropriate but would have been perfect for us.

    I'm not really familiar with Shinedown or Stonesour other than their famous songs but I say go for it if you love the songs and don't worry too much about other people. A song only lasts a few minutes so unless you're dancing to something by Cannibal Corpse (which I would love to see honestly) I don't think it would be a big deal to your guests.

    Everlong by Foo Fighters (there is a slower version) was in our top 5.

    Thank you for the suggestions =) I honestly just laughed out loud at Cannibal Corpse. That would be so funny! The Shinedown songs were considering are If You Only Knew and I'll Follow You.

    I Just Want You- Ozzy (This is the song I wanted, but I compromised and let FH pick. This will instead be our last dance song.)

    @Future Mrs G I love that song! I never considered a slower version of it, I may have to give that a listen.

    @Steph I believe it just might be the acoustic version. It is one of my favorite songs.

    Our song is "Say You'll Haunt Me" by Stone Sour so we're planning on using the acoustic version
