Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted February 6, 2003 I actually like Sum41. Really fucking weird to hear that coming from ME, eh? Maybe I just like them because they dig Slayer and Maiden... Anyways, do a horrible cover of "Freebird"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest What? Report post Posted February 6, 2003 No! A horrible cover of a horrible song! That makes them sound shittier... Never, ever taint Freebird, Corey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Wow..nothing but cover songs. You guys suck by default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Matt Young Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Guys... to be fair, most bands (even famous ones) started out playing covers. Good original songs take a while to develop, and besides, covers are fun to play. Also, cover bands have more gig opportunities than bands that play all originals, at least where I live. I actually like most of your set list, OJ. It'll certainly be interesting going from Wings to Rancid. I didn't think I'd ever encounter anyone willing to play a song that contains the lyrics, "I want to fuck a dog in the ass" in front of people, but it's a funny song, so if you can pull it off, more power to you. I hope all goes well. I've played a few (3) gigs in my lifetime, and although they can be nervewracking, they were very rewardinge experiences. Just remember that everything won't go perfectly, and when/if something does go wrong, as long as you don't draw attention to it, most people won't notice, so don't worry. Enkoy yourself, man. You should have a great time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 6, 2003 But this is OJ, and he's got a reputation for being the biggest loser on this board, and that includes myself and DJ Jeff in that statement. Thus, we know that 1) he doesn't have a band or 2) if he does, they will suck gigantic hairy balls. I mean, he's already aged three years in six months somehow.

I never really understood why everyone disliked him, but then again, I don't know what he may have done around here in the past. Oh well, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm too happy right now to be negative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted February 6, 2003 If people here don't know why everyone hates OJ Hart, we need to bring the thread back. Oh and I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say that this idiot is covering a coldplay song. Says a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good original songs take a while to develop, and besides, covers are fun to play. Also, cover bands have more gig opportunities than bands that play all originals, at least where I live. Doing a couple covers is fine, but to do NOTHING BUT?? All that shows is a complete lack of originality. Even bar bands have an original or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted February 7, 2003 Yeah, a couple of covers is a good idea (except those FUCKS who murdered 'there is a light that never goes out' opening for AFI and set the tone for my miserable evening) but if you're playing gigs rather than just messing around with friends, you're gonna need to get some of you own material. Practice with covers, then try some of your own stuff, then think about gigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 7, 2003 Also, when doing covers, I'd pick something relatively obscure, or at least something bands don't normally cover, for instance, don't do Stairway to Heaven or Smells Like Teen Spirit. Opt for something like...I don't know.. Chemical Warfare, by the Dead Kennedys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted February 7, 2003 Yeah, just DON'T FUCKING COVER A SMITHS SONG BECAUSE YOU CAN'T. Okay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
