Oooooh, let's learn cover songs that sounds like the songs we're covering and the audience is either to drunk to tell the difference or they're listening to see if you are good enough musicians to sound like the originals...be sure they know the songs not some band from Canada nobody ever heard of...how smart is that? Then if you sound like the song...what have you gained? Listen up dummies...there's no future in cover songs except the next weekend bar gig and your'e going be background sound for your get plasterd bar crowd. Might as well play country. People go to bars to drink, people go to FAT CAT to check out the band and I admit to drink a little.
Hey King George V, I thought the goal was to get some good originals out there. Listen King electedLeader, things happen for the best and incidentally your playing lead throughout the entire original song is never the best, a little rhythm maybe to add weight to the sound? One more thing...you should hear the band I just formed...in the pocket can do anything drummer and I'm looking for a Keyboard player to do the lead part, like "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.
We all get to reheasal on time, including me because I'm motivated and the band members, without voting, have defaulted me to be the leader of the band...must be because I'm the songwriter and they love my material...nothing like respect for the songwriter...first practice and we were on...with the drummer ending the song on my signal! And we gel!
Darn, we're having a hard time finding someone to do tambourine, percussion sticks, cowbell, triangle, gourd, hand-clapping....no takers...maybe as a favor a "friend" can put away his rhythm guitar and take over that "gee I always wanted to be in a band to do that" chore.
You know, Livermore is always looking for a good cover band...don't rush it. And those guys over there will take hard rock over reggae on any given Friday night...don't you think?
And remember, the guy who's got the worst car in town is the mechanic. Working on cars all day, you wouldn't expect him to go home and work on his own car, would you?
Well, happy trails, that's all folks and good luck to the feeble and that sounds like rock not country...
