why would you play in cover band or even worse - in a tribute band?

I mean I understand everybody's learning first on somebody's else tunes but once you grow up
you should either be able to play mostly your music or quit. Well unless your only goal is playing in wedding band or
you play classical so no choice here - you're stack in cover orchestra for good...The only justified reason to play cover is when you do it better then original like many times it happened already. Joe Cocker "With a little help from my friends" comes to mind first.
Other thing is a tribute band...what e dumb idea...copying songs note by note, every artist's move, his cloths etc ....

    Why would you come in under cover when you are banned?

    Is that what you are asking?

    I don't ordinarily implore the admins to do anything at all...but in this case I have to make an exception. This Tremens...or whatever...should be permanently banned. Not because he's an Ahole...which he self-evidently is. But because he is not at all funny...or even unfunny in an ironic way.

    Did somebody take exception to my inner child?

    I've tried to steer him away from being such an avid Feyernoord fan but as you can tell he never listens.

    Still, you should never disrespect the power of a little Dutch boy. Legend has it they are especially good with their fingers.

    Why do you think the CHB has a Dutch keyboard player?

    Fascinating.

    What riveting opinions have you got about session musicians or long-term 'side-men' for bands & artists? Plenty of very talented people make a living playing music without writing the songs.

    Why would you play with a rubber band or even worse come back after being band? 2011/09/13 11:42:31 (permalink)
    Hey guys!  Just stopped by to give an honorable mention to Bill, throw a becan strip to Beagle, listen to the weakly apologies, clean Karyn's cowbell, hum an Am at Bapu, yell a "ya" to Mooch and wave hello to the rest of you (you know who "you" are).

    Ok, later - feel free to get back to your enthralling topic now.

    Why do you think the CHB has a Dutch keyboard player?


    I don't know but I suspect it has something to do with either wooden shoes or cannibis.
