I Am Not A Guitarist, but I'd like to provide answers if it's all the same.

Drums: Part Chimp - War Machine; Shellac - Wingwalker
Bass: Violent Femmes - Please Do Not Go; Shellac - Wingwalker; Jane's Addiction - Three Days; Metallica - Crash Course in Brain Surgery
Guitar (when dickin' around): Flaming Lips - Turn it On; Pink Floyd - Breathe
Piano - The Andrews Sisters - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy; Felix Mendelssohn - War March of the Priests; Piano Sonata No. 14/Für Elise - Beethoven; Theme from Hill Street Blues - Mike Post; and a song I've been working on since I was ten-years-old that's saddled with the grandiloquent title of "Nocturne."

“Motörhead” or “Peace Sells….”.

Bass, of course.

Nah I just start playing. I went over to the kit for a reason—band practice is starting, I was listening to a song with a fun drum fill I want to see if I can replicate, I need to write/record a drum part so I want to noodle around—so I just start doing what I was going to do.

My voice is the only "instrument" I've truly found requires warming up, and even there, as long as I've been talking out loud that day / get to sing at moderate volume in the car on the way to the venue, that's sufficient. Being an insomnia guy and a work-from-home guy means if I log in for the day before my partner is up, I might go to record a vocal after work and find I haven't said a word out loud all day. Naturally it takes a few extra takes to get going in those cases.

The only time I've needed to "warmup" before practice was when the neck on my EGC was too cold to touch from being in an unheated practice space in the dead of winter.

An established good "Test A Crunchy Amp" riff from the inaccessible old board was Joel RL Phelps' "Then Slowly Turn," which I think was a Tallchris contribution.

Just so everyone is aware, the official bass equivalent is the opening riff to "Insomnia":

'Believe' by Dig on bass (opening bass line) if I'm adjusting things on new or borrowed equipment.

One Vision: Queen.
Grange Hill Theme: Alan Hawkshaw (rip).
Always on the run: Lenny Kravitz.

The second guitarist part of the Kravitz tune is super easy, and it's a nice one to show a beginner/or whoever is there so you can play the main riff over it since it is (imo) a great bit of riff writing. I don't care how uncool.

Usually the intro here, because it's pretty and makes my fingers do weird things HAHA THAT IS WHAT SHE SAID HAH.

On bass I often play alternating bars of "Pusherman" and "Low Rider."
"We're Not Adult Orientated" is a go-to soundcheck riff
