Didn't two covers band start World War 2?

:-P

As long as music is played with passion and respect then what's the fugging difference?

Best wishes to all bands be they covers, originals, or tribute.

Cant understand why any of you let this galic guy get to you?

He'll be lapping it up watching you lot flap about his same old crap every time he comes on here obviously aided by the talent'less among us!

Can't believe I've just spent 90 minutes reading a blog (I'm a slow reader) to find the comment box closed..gutted.

So instead can I just to Anthem, you left something off your blame list.

If it wasn't for you Cover Bands, I wouldn't get drunk every Saturday and my pub would be quiet and I'd get an early night every weekend, and to top it all off you make me pay for haveing a hangover EVERY Sunday and My God if I don't agree to the rates you charge.

What is the world coming to???

And it's not just the Covers, an Originals band even talked me into paying them, either you all have hypnotic abilities or I'm just easily lead!!

:)

# Posted by John Wilkinson: - 15/01/2010, 10:43 (GMT)

Cover bands .......Hemmaroids......

Is there a connection?

Cover Bands......... Alien conspracy theory

Is there a connection?

Cover Bands........ Freemasonry

Is there a connection?

Cover Bands ...... ENTERTAINING people

Is there a connection?

;-)

FWIW I won't be responding to DLG as he clearly is a troll and he seems to be afforded protection here so battle not worth fighting. May I humbly suggest we all do the sane?

Best wishes to ALL bands on here

John

# Posted by SKP - 15/01/2010, 11:39 (GMT)

@ john FV here here! agree with the 'protection' mr.D gets..weve lost better members for less!
Just adds to the suspicions that he's a regular member going out under another identity enjoyin windin everyone up!
not worth the hassle!

# Posted by Wellington Hotel - 15/01/2010, 12:01 (GMT)

May I just say that if I had been able to comment on Mr D's blog it would have been with much less sarcasm. I mearly would have liked to have agreed with Jackie from the venue point of view.

Bands are kind to us with regards rates, however Brewery's, Government, Council's and Utilities are not so kind, we ourselves have already been told we need to increase our prices later this month so that we can remain a viable business and stay open. This is not my wish as I respect that people do not have the same spare cash they once had, but if we wish to remain in a job we enjoy and a home we love, with customers who have become very good friends to us over the last 12 months, what choice do we have?

I agree that Mr D should be ignored, however whats the harm in a couple of venues (successful venues at that) trying to show him that it can work, despite his views and opinions. If indeed he knew anything of the trade we are in, perhaps he would not be so synical.

Respectfully
Donna

# Posted by John Wilkinson: - 15/01/2010, 20:30 (GMT)

Isn't Satan in a cover band ;-)

Love these replies by the way. Best way to deal with DLG in my opinion

# Posted by Dresden North End - 15/01/2010, 20:37 (GMT)

Didn't RiffRaff just play in Haiti?

# Posted by Duke Bocks - 15/01/2010, 20:38 (GMT)

I organised the Great Train Robbery...and I would have got away with it if it hadn't been for you pesky cover bands..or was it Phil Collins fault?

# Posted by John Wilkinson: - 15/01/2010, 20:41 (GMT)

Blame Phil matey......

We do ;-)

# Posted by viking - 15/01/2010, 20:46 (GMT)

# Posted by The Cottonhouse Shakers - 15/01/2010, 20:46 (GMT)

Seriously now, the white dog shit has got me as well! Haven't seen any for years, do you think that it is because the sun doesn't come out for long enough to dry it out? I bet they have plenty of white dog-do in Australia.

# Posted by viking - 15/01/2010, 20:50 (GMT)
