Apparently other couples in the past have made that request and have been somewhat disappointed.

What are some other good ones? Anything by Slayer - not wedding apropos. Granted, if Slayer were played, that would be an interesting wedding to be at, to say the least! The same with Megadeth and Anthrax, more or less. "B---- in my book" by Lil Troy is probably right out. Also, please, for the love of all that is holy, no more "Sweet Home Alabama." It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most overplayed song in all human history. (Lynyrd Skynyrd weren't from Alabama, coincidentally. All from Florida.) AC/DC's "You shook me all night long" is actually a perennial favorite at weddings, however other AC/DC songs might not be the greatest to play, such as "The Jack," "Whole Lottie Rosie" or, well, anything off of Highway to Hell. (Although that's one of their best.) No Pantera - Wow, I'm saying not to play any of my favorite bands at a wedding. Some songs that shouldn't be played because they SUCK: You're the inspiration - Chicago. Oh, good lord, no. Peter Cetera sucked all the life out of that band after Terry Kath died. Actually, no post Terry Kath Chicago of any kind should be listened to, period, never mind at a wedding. Definitely not at a wake either, because then everyone will envy the dead. No U2 at ALL. Well, maybe their 80s stuff. Not necessarily that it isn't good, just because Bono is too pretentious to be paid any attention, never mind paid any money. Definitely no Chris Brown, that's for sure. No Pink Floyd, unless of course someone baked a certain kind of magic into the wedding cake. Anyone caught "celebrating good times" should be immediately ejected.

-In a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: “My God, that’s tough
She’s stood him up”
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
