DMB cover bands | Thread profile

I wanna know what yall think of dmb tribute bands and their success takenfrom the real dmb and do u think that the real member of dmb feelsflattered in some way to be immulated?

I think you'd have to feel flattered, if people loved your music so muchthat that's all they wanted to play. But I'm never a fan of tribute bands,because if I wanted to listen to a particular song, I'd rather listen to itplayed by the original artist than by their tribute band.

I think the cover dmb bands if they are good are a fun time.. and kindamake you feel like you are in the small club feel... i like that once inawhile just to get a dmb fix... but i think dmb would be impressed that aband covering them can play their songs..... they do have some difficultsongs to play more power too them....http://www.aboutcrash.com/http://www.tripp inbillies.com/

I have heard quite a few cover bands, and their are some that should not beallowed to even play DMB on their own time. But then their are others thatare really good. So if the band that is covering DMB is good, i say ROCKON!!!! As long as they make the songs sound decent, more power to them!

I have don't have any beef with the tribute bands personally. I think it isa complete form of flattery, and if it is making them happy, that's great!However, (and no offense to anyone in a tribute band), I don't think Icould myself feel satisfied with trying to imitate someone else instead oftrying to write my own original music.I would rather see a band cover one or two DMB songs with a bunch of...

Not a cover band, but I found this video on youtube of some guy covering "So Damn Lucky" and I have to say he does a pretty damn good job with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s4a4aCJwvY
