BigRedX Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Given that there's unlikely to be a covers band playing music I'd listen to out of choice, I'd have to say I'd rather listen to a not so good originals band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 [quote name='misrule' post='49647' date='Aug 23 2007, 04:30 PM']Here we are -- I'm going to sit on the fence. I would rather watch a sh*t originals, cover or any other kind of band than sit at home. I get out to gigs so little, due to having small kids, that I even rocked up to church last Sunday because somebody was setting up a stage the day before. I don't remember the last originals gig I saw -- probably Kate Rusby in Norwich *blushes*. The last tribute band I saw was Quo-caine in Rudgwick, West Sussex -- hello Bassmurf! I'm not a great Quo fan, the weather was awful, the crowd was 20-strong in a swamp but I could still watch decent musicians having fun. Cheers Mark[/quote] Same here. I went out on Saturday night to see "Us, not them" a Pink Floyd tribute band. General musicianship was good. They were let down by a poor mix and a bad lead vocalist who couldn't hold a note or stay in the right key. Whatever was on the box that night, this was better.

I think you can learn from watching any musician no matter what level they are at.[/quote] Definately. I guess I would prefer to see a bad originals band to a poor covers.

DaBassMonsta Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 The last band I saw were pretty terrible and did a 50/50 mix of originals and covers. I enjoyed the covers because they made me laugh and smile a bit. The original stuff was very samey. Even though the covers were ropey at least they made me move a bit. To be fair, the bassist and drummer were carrying the whole thing. The guitarists and vocals were bloody awful - even more so on the covers.
