If your target market is what I assume it is, there's probably nothing wrong with that list at all.

Actually, Sponge isn't even relevant in a nostalgic way. Get rid of that. And Pantera and/or Nickelback in the same setlist for the same gig seems kind of baffling.

Sponge was left over from an old setlist, people liked it, so we kept it.
I want to replace it Anthrax - Antisocial.

The Nickelback is "girls request", we tried to pick something a bit out of the mainstream. It's not the worst song by them.

The cover band circuit is an entirely different beast. You're basically at the mercy of the people putting money in your wallet.

I'd never be able to play covers. I'd shoot myself in the face first.

Huey Lewis is the man.

PA, how often do you guys practice? I was in a cover band for a while, and what made me quit was that they wanted to rehearse 4 or more times per week. Which I thought was quite excessive, considering what money we were (or weren't) making. But our setlist was of a similar ilk; some stuff for the girls, the rest a mix of classic, modern, and hard rock. Some tunes that went really well for us were Audioslave's "Show Me How To Live" and Rage's "Bulls On Parade". We also did "Funk #49 by the James Gang & "White Room" medelied into "All along the Watchtower".

Cover bands, mopeds, and fat chicks...all good fun...until your friends see you with them!

You can make some good money in cover bands if you are in a decent sized city. Four times a week for any band seems excessive unless the people in it are of questionable talent. If you're playing out enough (which you should be to justify even BEING in a cover band) that should be all the rehearsing you need.

We usually practice twice a week, as Pfloyd had pointed out our whore like existance, the need to keep songs current and fresh is part of the cover band money maker. This particular band has been together 3 years, we're on our 3rd singer, and firing our 3rd guitarist and bringing back the first one from 2 years ago. Since the beginning, our catalog has been over 200 songs, I have forgot more than I know now, but you have to roll with the changes if you want to keep making money. Currently we average about $800.00 a show, after paying our sound guy and our light guy, I get about $120.00 a show. It's not great money, but it's better than playing for free. "A" room cover bands in this area get $2500.00 to $3000.00 a night, I have had opportunities to get in a few (I'm pretty respected as an area musician) but my refusal to play American Girl, Laid and Blister In the Sun has kept me from making that leap. Honestly, most of them are pretty gay, I would rather play to 100 people that love what I'm playing, than to 3-400 people that could care less.

On Wed. practices, we learn new songs and work on "project" songs that require more than one practice to learn. On Sundays we will run through the set list for an upcoming show, we will adjust songs for the club we're playing, and when we're satisfied with that we will usually spend the last hour or 2 either working on original music, or just jamming.

Another thing to consider, is I'm 41 years old...
My aspirations of being a "rock star" are long gone, I just don't see me in center city Philly original clubs trying to sell my cd for 4.00, when Mutt Lang walks up and says "Sure, I'll give it a listen"

Hey, I have a talent that I would like to express, and right now, the cover bands works. I don't discourage any musician from writing their own material, but be realistic, not many "make it" and after 30 years old, the odds get worse.

Well, don't assume that musicians that do only original material want to get a record deal or anything of the sort. I do release through a small independent label for distribution purposes, but that's as far as I go. I hit some friction with my one band because they want to tour, but they're all working at deadend jobs for peanuts and live in cheap apartments. I have a good job and a $1,000-a-month mortgage to pay, I'm not giving that up to make a few hundred bucks a week so I can "keep it real".

See, the first thing I thought when I read this was " I would throw away the job for the chance to tour, you only live once" but upon further consideration. I've never left home yet, had to pay my own bills etc, so its much easier for someone like me to say something like that in ignorance.

PA is right that the older you get in that the older you get, the less willing & able you are to sacrifice lifestyle in order to do what it takes to "make it". I was willing to be a scum-sucking road dog & live in squalor when I was in my early 20's. But getting married (cuz you want to, not in front of a loaded shotgun) sure as shit changes your perspective and makes you think about what is more important. Music will never be something I won't do, so I'll do it in whatever capacity I can until they pry my axes from my cold, dead hands. As for the cover band I was in, I was sort of duped into it w/ promises of A-room gigs and more $ than we ended up receiving. I did make a bunch of connections and was solicited by bands who WERE playing A-rooms, but the whole experience was so souring that I turned everyone down. Then my original band lost its luster in my eye (lifestyle differences, settling for a less-than-excellent vocalist, etc), and I decided, fuck it. For the first time in my life I'm concentrating on writing and furthering what I want to do, not supporting other ideas & compromising my exact artistis vision. Plus, one's home life is much more pleasant when one's mate is happy. I make music all the time w/ my wife, and she encourages me to work on the areas of my musicality that need work, and I help her by sharing what I know about music & recording.

Christ, too much info. I think I'll try the decaf...

I didn't want to give the impression that all musicians write to be "famous". I still write, and my band still writes original music, but it's for fun and if it wasn't for the cover band, no one would ever hear it.
Besides, after playing othere peoples songs for so long, it's just a great release to sit and jam, it usually starts with me and the drummer just laying down a back beat, one guitarist will join in with rythym, and leads from the other, our singer will do some "off the cuff" lyrics, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but the end result is we have a great time doing it.

...and you have to agree, that at some point I think every musician should be in a cover band, even if only for a year, to get your feet wet, get some stage presence and get some chops, then start writing.

Oh, and going to see Victor Wooten again thursday afternoon for another "bass clinic" and hope to get tix for the show that night. He is playing with his brother Reggie in Soul Circus in Philly thurs. night. Good Stuff!

I think the term "making it" has begun to shift. In the past it meant that you had a hit record and get Justin Timberlake quality ass. I think going forward, it refers more to people who earn a living playing music and with that simpler definition many more people are "making it" in the music business.

The market is saturated now anyway. And its unfortunate. Whilst Myspace and the like SEEM like a good idea in actual fact it means any band that has even a hint of originality gets overlooked by the masses, because people are being fed new bands left right and centre. I'll be honest Im just as guilty, half the time if a band attempts to add me (this is daily) I'll click "deny" without even lsitening to them ; The band MAY rule, but because I get a different band trying to add me daily, most of which have been shit when I have genuinely made an effort to listen to them, I wont bother to give the other ones a fair chance because I just assume they suck. The bar /club gigging scene is dead round here too. A band like Pantera for example (not to be too obvious) who made a living playing round the bar circuit, could never thrive nowadays (In my opinion) because of the creation / popularisation of stuff like pay to play. I mean, bands dont even have to bring their own P.A anymore... that used to be a selling point for a band, now its just "get as many bands as possible on the bill to make as much of a proffit out of the pay to play system."

Paragraphs are a wonderfull thing.

we dont have any 'pay to play' gigs going on where i am basically because there are lots of people with initiative to drive their bands and to get a following. the clubs around here help too. they're interested in getting a crowd in, so they'll charge next to nothing for you to hire the place because they know you'll bring in a shitload of people and their bar takings will be huge.

example - we've just got a new club to let us have a gig a month for four months and providing we make it popular, they'll stick a few more gigs on at the end of it. we get to promote the gig and ultimately get money out of it so its a great deal for us and the club, because they dont get much of a crowd where they are on a friday night and we get to play profitable gigs.

Sounds like the same situation in the (very few) venues around here.. an independent promoter will be given a certain day, normally something crap like the second thursday of the month or whatever, and the promoter gets to keep whatever profits from the admissions whilst the venue makes money from hiring out the hall and selling drinks.

You have "pay to play" in the UK? I'd never do that shit. In Omaha original bands make pretty good money. I made $400 in one night once. Live, original music is such a commodity here that bars will let you keep 100% of the door. the "pay to play" phenomenon existed in places like NYC and LA because the venues themselves became bigger than the bands playing them and so it was a "privilege" to play those places. Fuck that shit.

I don't think "everyone should play in a cover band". I never have nor will I ever. Not because that I look down on it, but because it's not good for everyone. A lot of people are just artists when it comes down to it and would never be able to get into music they didn't create themselves. I just put a band together one day, wrote some songs, and played a month later. You get your ass kicked around a little and learn from your mistakes.

I used to think that until I played in a band playing music I wasn't particularly thrilled about. I was just happy to be "playing out" at first but rehearsals were a serious chore. That's why I know the cover band thing would never work for me. To me, music is another form of communication and the only thing I could communicate playing pop-punk songs is "I'm fucking bored."

Even if I could I wouldn't play crappy music for a bit more cash. Christ, that setlist wouldn't be a joy to play and I thought that was what music was about, playing music you enjoy, not what other people enjoy. If people enjoy what you play then that's a bonus. If you enjoy that whole list then fair enough.

I enjoy about 80% of it, I never really listen to any of it, perhaps Damageplan, Metallica and Alice In Chains. When any song we play comes on the radio/sirius I usually change the station. I guess there is a difference between enjoying a song or enjoying playing it.

As Bassphemy put it, as an old fart, I have been in quite a few bands with varying degrees of success. I didn't love all of them, in fact some I fucking hated, The band I'm in now I enjoy because the members are all friends, we were friends before we were in a band together, so this just makes for a better time when we get together.

It will be interesting to see how the "hired gun" thing will work out. While I refused any offers outright that were types of music I'd hate playing, playing someone else's songs will be an interesting personal challenge. Of course, the money is better since I have no stake in the bands artistically, but we'll see.

I'm playing bass for a Tom Waits/Leonard Cohen-style singer/songwriter starting at the first of the year. Ought to be interesting.

Thanks for the insight, boy. Isn't your local mall missing some loiterers?

The only thing that actually matters is how committed you are to your art. If you don't know how to do anything else, then you damn well better be prepared to whore out your artistic talent in order to make a living & provide the means to create your art. It ain't easy, especially if you don't want to live in squalor.

And all watermelons are dull, fuckstick.

i play almost all my gigs with my metal band which is the most fun for obvious reasons - the enjoyment you get out of your own music and the people who come to see you are likeminded so its usually a good night out. But i have played covers in order to make more money. i wouldn't play in a cover band instead of my own band but for a bit of extra money i really don't mind playing music that i dislike.

the one that ive been practicing in most recently has a diabolical setlist compared to PA's.....

1. Alright Now - Free
2. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
3. Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
4. Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
5. Road Rage - Catatonia
6. I Want You To Want Me - Cheap Trick
7. Thousand trees - Stereophonics
8. Time Of Your Life - Green Day
9. Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
10. One Hand In My Pocket - Alanis Morisette
11. What's Up? - 4 Non Blondes
12. Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
13. Weak As I Am - Skunk Anansie
14. Rockin' In The Free World - Neil Young
15. Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics
16. Stuck In The Middle - Stealer's Wheel
17. Zombie - The Cranberries
18. Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
19. I Was Made For Loving You - Kiss
20. The Day We Caught The Train - Ocean Colour Scene
21. Feeling Good - Nina Simone
22. Sweetness - Jimmy Eat World
23. I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
24. Take Yo' Mama - Scissor Sisters

i play bass in this band but whenever i do a gig we get about Â£150-200.

Right, I forgot that I'm a washed up hack (I know I'm old; it's a pleasure your attitude might keep you from ever knowing, BOY). Thanks for the reality check...straight from Minnesota. I hope someone you look up to knocks your dick in the dirt (physically, psychologically, and any other way possible) so that you might learn some humility & respect. You seem like a creative, driven kid, but your attitude sucks. The old man in me knows I should just laugh you & your comments off, but the part of me that's always 16 wants to track you down & fuck you up so bad your whole family vomits their own anal tracts.

I guess every BB needs a full-time antagonist. I eagerly await your response, but remember: Youth and skill are no match for age and treachery.

Let's see, Silverback has posted his music, (which is quite good) and all we have heard from you is how great you are.

Unless we're going to have some hardcore man on boy sex, stop calling me or anyone else boy. It is fucking creepy. And I forgot my current location discredits everything I have to say, thanks for reminding me.

I'll call whomever I want whatever I want, nippledick.

I'm sure 40 years ago you could kick my ass or rape it or whatever you're getting at, but you're old now. Time to hang it up and retire.[/quote]

Shit, how old do you think I am, son? I wasn't even an itch in my dad's pants 40 years ago.

i would suggest a better Tool song, but im thinking most of their stuff is too proggy for what you're doing, so Sober is probably your best bet. Another straightforward one would be Stinkfist.

I already know Stinkfist, Prison Sex, and 46 & 2. (did them in an old band)
We will probably throw in one of those soon.

I would really like to do Aenema, but it's a bit long to hold a bar crowds attention.

yeah...and most radio zombies will be extremely dissapointed with the song after the badass intro riff. they're expecting some huge groove to kick in. that's why tool rules
