Crap Local Cover Bands
 

Last night I was passing a pub & saw some band(badly) performing Slayer`s Raining Blood ........ complete with a bubble machine on stage.

Feel free to post any stories of crap local bands here.

I am bumping this five year old thread to tell my own story.

I saw a band calling themselves "The Roaches" (just guess who they were covering). The singer's voice was whiney and off-timed with the music, and (this is the worst part) a girl I was with actually thought it was The Beatles... this was in 2002.

killllllll !!!

We actually got into an argument about it. I was about 9 at the time and she was 17....

Local cover band by the name of The Tim Clark Band. Any band who's name originates off the lead singer turns me off. Even worse, Mr. Clark pays his way around town doing covers.

I went to an outdoor market here a few years back, and there was this local country music band (didn't catch the name, but they're a dime a dozen here anyway) singing a god awful cover of Purple Rain. Yeah, that's right. I'm of the opinion that no one should touch that song except Prince anyway, but these guys were just terrible. My ears bled a little.

There's a band that covers nearly every '80s glam rock band known to man. They did everything from Motley Crue to Poison. Gross.

Also, I remember some poor cover band doing "Smells Like Teen "Spirit" once. It made me want to cry a little.

Ha yeah Smells like Teen Spirit really attracts the poor cover bands.

A band at my school used to do a 20 minute version of Stairway to Heaven which was pretty terrifying.

that it does



it's so terrible that it's funny
