cris the man Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 covers tend to make more money unless you just happen to be a member of the stooges or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Classic punk covers, Pistols, Clash, Buzzcocks etc. Was great fun listening to them when they first came out, when I was at school, and just as much fun playing them in a band now.

woodenshirt Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Bit of a hard one this......... We only do covers, but people don't tend to recognise 'em the way we play 'em......... So people probably think we play originals! Mart Edited October 13, 2010 by woodenshirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 One band originals, one band covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Both bands all originals but with the odd cover or two thrown into the set & rewritten to how it would be had we written it (bar the lyrics of course). I'd like to join a covers band but don't have any time to commit to another band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Covers. Both bands have/had some originals but none played currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm in 3 originals bands but one of them has covered a couple of songs in the past, in a heavier style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 2 covers bands though I have given notice to one (to heavy for me) and will look for another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBassman Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 One authentic boogie blues band which is a cover band but rather obscure One very dark folk band, all originals One Rock band all originals Dep gigs as requested Its all fun and keeps me out of trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Covers with couple originals. The 1st twenty odd years of playing, I always wrote, now, few and far between probably 2 this year. Just grateful for a gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Interesting to see covers outnumbering originals, I wouldn't have expected that. Edited October 15, 2010 by Doctor J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Two covers bands One originals band that does the occasional cover One Trad Arr band One acoustic duo that for any one gig will range between all originals and all covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
