Is Derivative Always Bad?

Johnny C:
especially if it was bass only

TheFuriousWombat:
Well if you want something like My Bloody Valentine, maybe you should wait for this:
"New MBV album due (for real)
The album will appaarently be material that Kevin and Belinda recorded as a follow up to 'Loveless'. It's similar and not radically different than what they were doing before. Kevin plans to finish up these recording."

tour dates too: http://www.mybloodyvalentine.net/news/index.html

I'm sure there's some joke here I'm not getting, but I get covers of songs. Covering songs can be great, there are plenty of good songs out there, and giving a new spin to other songs is great.

But I just don't get the appeal of being in 'the best led zeppelin cover band'. Other than making money (but I have yet to see a cover band do a great money making show - except the Australian Pink Floyd I guess), I just don't get why you would want to be a replica of another band?

Kai:
from what I have seen, it is not uncommon for an average coverband to pull in a pretty good percentage a night in comparison to general bands. You're in a bar, you're not really sharing the bill with everyone, you're playing songs that most people have heard and nod along to... it's easier to make money, or so one would assume.

Are you going to make millions? Not unless you have the money already for LASER LIGHT SHOWS

tommydski:
What about Mini Kiss?
