I don't know why but I am in a rather philosophical mood this morning - it has to be all of the beer from lastnight. Anyway, the majority of this forum does the band thing (some of you are still doing it by yourselfs) and I was just wondering on the views of covers vs. originals.
I've done it all 3 ways. All covers, all originals, and the different mixtures of both. The answer to me seems obvious... the mix. But that doesn't always ring true. Now I am in a cover band and loving life. Maybe it is the lack of presure to come up with the "perfect riff." Maybe it is pushing myself to listen and learn. Maybe it is taking others work and rearranging it... but I am happy just doing the cover thing. Ask me again tomorrow it might be different (after all the Bongo and I are just coming to terms with what to do with eachother).
Thoughts?
