ONLY IF: the influence of the original band is clear. I'd HATE to find a band cover say...Motley Crue's Looks That Kill and then WikiAnswers the band and not see Motley in their influences.

But im totally in favor of paying homage to your roots or if you want to take a push some bounds like stryper did with shinning star or be like children of bodom and do oops i did it again and just have some fun whatever </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/is-it-acceptable#post-31864 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 03:24:04 +0000 rhinostones 31864@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I try really hard not to get involved with the covers, coz I start fighting with myself about wether or not it's any good.<br /> mmm k that sounded like I had mental issues : S </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/is-it-acceptable#post-31863 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 03:17:22 +0000 Dash 31863@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Yea,I still stick by my Vains of Jenna Rocket Queen idea.I hope they hear this,haha.yea,the massive hits would just get butchered.I've heard L.O.V.E.

NO WAY!! <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif' alt=':!:' class='wp-smiley' /> <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_eek.gif' alt='8O' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Anyway...Totally acceptable! I'd encourage it! Who knows, maybe some new band will cover the 'right song' and kick off a massive glam rock revival! As long as it's not a major hit like "Sweet Child..." or "Livin On A Prayer". Or any song that's been covered to death.</p> <p>Good call On "Rocket Queen". A known song, but not an anthem. Follow the Quiet Riot model: Take a 'known' song and TURN IT into a classic song. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/is-it-acceptable#post-31740 Sat, 05 Jun 2010 21:02:16 +0000 Dash 31740@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>yea dude,i was trying to focus more on glam bands today doing it,but i cant believe that thats the jonas brothers.i dont think im convinced its them,cuz its too good,hahaha </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/is-it-acceptable#post-31730 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:47:45 +0000 Sparkii Silver 31730@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>yeah man, its totally cool for a band to cover an old song. its great for the band who wrote it and it just shows some of the influences of the band.</p> <p>i dont know why the jonas brothers covered aces high, but its a good cover. even though i hate the jonas brothers music i cant doubt their musical ability<br /> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gENlMNVkC3E"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gENlMNVkC3E" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/is-it-acceptable#post-31727 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:00:55 +0000 Stokes 31727@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I agree with that as long as the band doesnt suck like all the modern bands that think they can play something thats a classic and they dont even represent the music at all.</p> <p>Whenever I move and get a band I want to do mabye a cover for a record.</p> <p>Id love to do Fuck Like a Beast or something by Dokken </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/is-it-acceptable#post-31726 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:49:17 +0000 Dash 31726@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Ok,so I know there's a thread somewhere about "the best 80's cover by a current band" but wat I want to hear,is is it acceptable for a new glam band today to record a cover from the 80's and put it on album? I say fuck yea! Covering a song shows wat ur influences r,shows wat kind of band u r.I know for damn sure that when I get my band goin,on the debut album I want to have a kickass cover of maybe a poison or skid row song.the reason this came up,is that I was listening to Black Tide and Hit The Lights came on.it inspired me to pull out Kill Em All.so I'm thinkin that if more bands play covers,on their albums(and not ridiculous,u kno,like just maybe 1 on an album is enough),then it will inspire people who kno it to pick up the original,or people who say,"wow,I didn't kno that was a cover" and they'd go pick up the original themself.it could turn some new people today onto our genre.now I'm talkin about new glam bands,not rockbands such as nickelback or staind.newer glam bands.like say if vains of jenna did Rocket Queen on their next album.that shit would be fucking awesome! But like I've asked before...is it acceptable for a glam band of today to put an 80's cover on an album like Black Tide did and even maybe bring back the lesser known songs? I say fuck yea! </p>
