and there is NO artistry in cover bands. none what so ever. just sayin'
I think you forgot the " in my opinion" on that.
Is a Xerox a painter? If a cover band tries to change things, that can be one thing. If a cover band tries to emulate/duplicate something else, that is something different.
Beatlemania = Entertainers, Musicans. Not Artists. Some would consider the experience of Beatlemania to be art, but then the Artist would be the organizer.
but he said DJ's are artists, and most just play records.
most cover bands have thier own songs to go along with the songs that they cover.
Some consider the scratching and crossovers to be an artform. That being said, Carol Miller is NO ARTIST!
And Keyser, I would rather pay $5 to hear Seventh Son play for 2 hours with no light show, than pay $85+ to hear Maiden play for 45 minutes (with 4 minutes of talk between songs to change sets and backdrops).

<center>Boy the way Glen Miller played,
songs that made the hit parade,
guys like us we had it made,
those were the days,
and you know where you were then,
girls were girls and men were men,
mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again,
didn't need no welfare states
everybody pulled his weight,
gee our old Lasalle ran great,
those were the days!</center>
