best cover band in the country

mufc2010

in my view it would have to be

1....BLUEMOOSE
2....REVENGE
3....J90
3....ZOOT ALLURES
4....RECOIL

Dude revenge are an absolute joke of a band, bluemoose might be better when their youtube prodigy joins em but gorilla radio is the best band in the country.

WTF

Both bands are amazing dude. both bands play the similar material, to a very high standard. In my opinion both bands are joint top!

Havnt seen j90 in ages, again very good band. AdamsLocker and WhiteWater are very good, but whitewater seem to have around 7 members, and use any 4 for a gig!

Dont get to see cover bands as much as I used too when i was in college, I play in a cover band myself so a lot of weekends are gone

wat band do u play in man just out of interest

Both good time bands, nothing worse than a cover band that takes themselves seriously as a band

You travel around the country to see a cover band????

Do you not think your money may be better spent going to see an actual band?

Disgusting comment. There are some exceptional musicians in cover bands and in "crappy original bands" who go out and play simply for the enjoyment it brings. Your opinion seems to be formed from an egotistical and naive outlook.

Remember you cant judge a musician fully within his role within a cover band, sometimes they are under the contraints of the tracks they play and dont really want to steer to far away for the original.

I find with alot of up and coming bands the musicians are still playing for themselves and over playing to show what they can do rather than for the good of the band which is why they dont always last and wonder why the diary and venue isnt filling up.

Alot of the bands you mentioned have been around for years in other bands so they kinda know the ropes and whats expected in order to make it their living.

Check diarys and venues in order to really see whos doing the biz, and filling the venues the main 3 are Big Generator, Bluemoose and J90 and I do like Gorilla radio for again finding another niche so people dont have to see the same set each week for different bands.

Enjoy.

fuc* it we give it a bump.... still having checked out whitewater or gorilla radio snapping they dont play dublin that much

Can't believe this is a serious thread. I have nothing against cover bands, but wtf is this all about? Westlife have more credibility than Bluemoose. Stick to playing Lady Gaga covers and stop pretending your some kind of real or relevant band lads. You're shíte.

Whoops. Nevermind. You're just bumping lots of threads in here and being negative on all of them.
