Way too many bands and artists doing covers these days. It's pathetic. And
the assholes of record companies releasing said covers as singles instead of
originals. An example is David Bowie's new album. He records a cover of
Waterloo Sunset, and the radios go on and play it till death. It's not a bad
cover, but, still! And the new bands? Covers of Talk Talk (No Doubt) of
Tears for Fears (can't even remember the name) and The Who (someone else!).
What happened to original songwriting? And how hugely popular these cover
bands are becoming? I mean, hello?? Ok, the Counterfeit Stones are a damn
good tribute to the greates Rock n' Roll band in the world, and good fun!
Always making a quick buck with less effort!
Rock on, Bruce!!!
