i've noticed a lot of musicians kinda "look down" at other musicians for playing in a cover band. most coverbands don't really feel that way about original bands though. i write music of my own but also play in a cover band, it's strictly fun and we consider ourselves to be entertainment, that's all. just food for thought for all the original artists who feel that way. how do you feel? hmmm......... http://www.claytoys.com

lots of "original" bands could learn mucho from cover bands-----like how people love to hear well written & performed songs, the importance of a song with hooks and melody.

original, from my 20 plus years of experience, usually means no imagination, some talent and a full set of worthless songs.

My favorite is when original bands announce "here is one of our own. :rolleyes: " Why not just yell PULL!
The best thing to do is play the song, if people clap or ask about it mention, "That's one of our own."
When you announce your original up front, you make everyone in the building think "Oh yeah, let's see what you got" They become super-critic. Let them appreciate it, and then let the cat out of the bag. Better yet, announce it is available on your CD
