  • Of course you would rather play your original songs or some obscure bullshit by some band most people have never heard of. Well here is a clue for you, people want to hear the songs that they like and who the hell are you to post judgement on the musical taste of someone else. If you insist on playing want you only want to play then enjoy the consequences of your decisions and stop your bitching. Don't try to force your music down someones throat, because you like it doesn't mean I do

  • Most of us musicians do know how to play those songs. But we really don't want to. Wouldn't you rather hear a well rehearsed song that we enjoy? One that will be played with pleasure? Or the same old bullshit sing that every body else plays and perform it like paid puppets with no emotion?

  • Haha, sounds like your cover band just sux deluxe. hahaha

    Wonder why you're not doing very good at this? Why does playing gigs seem like such an uphill battle? It's because you ARE NOT VERY GOOD. Get off stage!!

  • @kev36663 Great idea in theory, but there's often a lack of interest in original music on the local level, depending on where you live. I'd much rather play the originals that I've poured my blood, sweat and tears into, but a lot of venues won't book anything but a cover band. ("Play something we can DANCE to!") So you end up being forced into playing covers just to get a gig. But it's a good way to keep up your chops and earn money for studio time. Plus, it expands your musical vocabulary.

  • Its exactly like that.

  • It really is just like that, some nights. Bullseye!

  • This was a good laugh. Sometimes you just can't win. I love it when they ask you to play a song you did a set ago. "Well, we just got here." Classic.

  • hahahaha wow how true is this video - I'd like a dollar for everytime I've had a stupid person like this force themselves on you at a gig - who ever made this video is a genius haha

  • Wasn't this a skit from"Kids in the Hall?"

    Seriously, this was funny. I'm surprised the guy character didn't tell the arrogant bitch to take a hike much sooner!

  • So true - but a cover band that doesn't know Brown Eyed Girl and Sweet Home Alabama? - maybe she's got a point !  LOL!!!
