What do you think of cover bands?

[OtterMan68]

Bands that play other artists' songs

Love them: I like songs I know and am familiar with

They're OK, but I'm not paying to see much or anything to see them

Nah, I'm into original music

[andreasderjuengere]

Arts must not be ''owned'' - there are many covers that are as good as the original. Or better?

Basically, a song that's covered receives some kind of homage.

Some of my favourite examples:

They're fine for neighborhood parties but I'm not going to a cover band concert or anything. Nit if the original band is still alive and touring.

There are some good ones out there, but I would rather hear original music.

[Chazmatazz269]

I’m verily taken with hard rock covers of pop songs right now.

don't care for the bands but I definitely like a lot of cover songs

and some, I like them even better than the originals

[AngryCarl]

I enjoy them, but I'd rather hear a band play their own music even if it's a bit off the wall. The Beatles and the Stones played covers back in the day, and they did all right.

I have never saw one. I imagine I will see one someday. All the bands I like are getting too old or else they are dead.
