The crazy thing is, some of the cover bands play the songs better than the original artists. A Motley Crue cover band called Live Wire(now defunct, unfortunately)that used to play here in Dallas were great. The singer sounded like Vince on the records... Sorry, Vince Neil, but live you don't always sound great and you sing every other lyric most of the time. But I STILL LOVE THE CRUE!! Anyway, tonight I'm going to see Metal Shop, a great cover band! And tomorrow night I'm going to see Poison Cherry(a Poison cover band) open for Nurse Ratched(a cover band made up of members of Britny Fox & Bulletboys). I LOVE COVER BANDS!!! If I can't have the real bands anymore...The cover bands'll do just fine! <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> Dash on "Do you like Cover Bands?" http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/do-you-like-cover-bands/page/2#post-30536 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:58:23 +0000 Dash 30536@http://glamrock.com/forum/ I could give 2 shits about if they play the songs good or not.they're not the original bands,haha,so wat do u expect?

What I can't stand is the bands that don't focus on a genre or band, but just do general Top 40 pop.Blah, they tend to have plain clothes and...well you couldn't tell them from the audience...and Atlantic City's not a glamorous town dispite what you might here about the casinos. Anyhow I would recommend the bands my friends play in...they practice hard and their costumes are spot on and they try to get note for note with great choreography. kissangel on "Do you like Cover Bands?" http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/do-you-like-cover-bands#post-7596 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 05:12:09 +0000 kissangel 7596@http://glamrock.com/forum/ I love it if they do it right.

He live in the USA. Maybe because the USA gets too much good stuff their way, the cover bands are slacking off - whereas over here in Oz as we are so far away from the action, that we try to create something as close as we can get it to the real thing. Who knows? But poor old Twisted Bro is not getting out to see the right bands, that's for sure...

They had the costumes and makeup just perfect and they sounded just like them. Its been years, and I don't remember what they were called but I remember thinking it was dumb, something like "almost kiss" or "not quite kiss"... but anyway, with a better name they'd of really rocked.

You can really tell when a band really tries to duplicate, or even improve the music. Without cover bands, some music would die off because the original band has disappeared. donna on "Do you like Cover Bands?" http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/do-you-like-cover-bands#post-409 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 12:59:57 +0000 donna 409@http://glamrock.com/forum/ If they're going to call themselves a cover band and imitate the original, then they should do it with some style. If they can't do it right, they shouldn't expect people to want to listen to them. Cause if the audience isn't coming to hear the original bands songs, why are they even there. If a band wants to do things their way, they shouldn't present themselves as a cover band.

I mean, some bands give the originals the due Credit they deserve. Others do it as a big joke, and not a very good joke either.
