yup.

Back in 1997-98 i was in a 'cover' band.

At the time Oasis were big, and basically we played 3 hours of Oasis, Radiohead, Beatles, and even some Queen, Metallica and GnR covers.

Saturday night at Champions (now Barracudas - bowling place in B of Don) would pay £250.

Still remains the most cash i ever got paid for a gig............................

Problem is, once you have sold yourself to the devil and accept wadges of cash for playing covers to fat old Bailys swilling grannies in some shithole pub, its hard going back to the art....eg £20 for playing to 9 uninterested punters, that includes the bar staff!!

look man, i didnt ask for your opinion about how i'm sellin out, or how its unoriginal. you need to get out more man, stop replying to threads with pointless shit. and enough with this whole ''return to the art''. i doubt you are or ever will be some sort guru to me or any other musician.

ps, what the hell kinda pubs do you drink at?

Fair play to the guy if he wants to earn a bit of money from playing covers, and the same if he's doing it for enjoyment.
