I may have heard it at downtown music festivals before while passing by but not actively listened to it. |

| | | | I never heard this song until about a year ago after I saw it being mentioned a ton of times on here. I've been in a lot of bars with cover bands and still never heard it. Maybe it's a age thing?

It's somewhat funny how most coverband folk will urinate on original bands, given that someone needs to write the tunes. We can't just play Sweet Home Mustang Brown Eye Girl forever, right?
I don't belong in most of my area's bands because the set lists are often near identical. My job is very hard, so the idea of playing out every Fri-Sat night isn't terribly sustainable in the long run, although the constant turnover might suggest that this might be the case. The idea of playing songs half-assed to play more songs just doesn't jive with me. So, if I could find a perfectionist band that doesn't play every weekend and has a different setlist....who am I kidding, that doesn't exist. |

This is fantastic. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
