okey dokey SteveO... firstly i see covers and cover bands as paying homeage to the original artists
i dont have a problem personally with 'cover songs' as a whole,im sure i have numerous covers in my collection,some are good, others plain crappy, i nuch prefer listening to them if the artist covering them can offer something new or interesting to the original.
as for cover bands,thats fine with me also, if people are willing to pay to see them,good luck to them, i however, would not pay to see a covers band live.
