Cover bands are crap, thats what Dj's are for, at least dj's tend to put a bit of a spin on the songs.

Any cover band ive heard is allways shit, very few of the 'musicians' know music at all and probobly learnt the song off tabs, i wouldnt mind cover bands so much if they did a cover of a song, but improvised a bit, or extended the break(s) or just put their own personal twist to it, theres nothing great about copying something else.
miccheck Reviewed by miccheck on . Cover bands or original bands? The band i'm in at the moment does a mixture of covers and our own original stuff.. We do some decent covers, and we do them well. The kind of covers we do arent mainstream - we do more stuff like Rancid and Suicide Machines, and occasionally Chili Peppers, as opposed to Snow Patrol etc. Over here, though, there arent that many venues where you can play live music and get paid for it. The best paying venue over here (Chambers, az66 will know where i mean) doesnt allow you to play original Rating: 5
