It's a sad state of affairs when any cover band gets gigs

Its much easier to book shows as a cover act. Audiences are more likely to come to hear music they know.

At least be creative. One cover band started singing Sweet Home Alabama and it was like "as if" but then in the second verse, they moved to Gangsta of Love by Geto Boys and I was like "OMG this band fucking rules. I want to buy one of their T shirts".
Half the people had no idea what the new song was and were like "O My Goh!"
But the rest of us were like (as previously mentioned).
If you did that, and got that T Shirt from the Onion's website that says "I am in a promising local band", you would stand out and probably get signed and be rich and then fuck the most current pop diva of your chosing. And really fuck them, not made up stuff like that redhed at the Palms

Not the same.
Trick your stupid drunk audience into thinking you're playing one song, and then do another with the same music.
They're remember your vanilla carbon-copy cover band for doing something different.

thats ok Galt, I think Keyser is much happier trolling the radio for songs to cover so he can appeal to those people that make tape mixes of "the top 10 radio hits right now"

its not all that novel an idea, most cover bands do a few songs like that. we do something similar with back in black and lose yourself.

I've lost any shred of respect I had for Eminem now that I know Keyser can do his rhymes.
