The demand is there for it...plain and simple. Not enough demand for live bands playing original music. It's sad to me, that's all  |
It is a shame and I totally agree with you. Live music has it's own vibe, especially when done properly.
The only thing that annoys me about some cover bands, is when they cannot sing properly or seem off key here and there. The music sometimes sounds different too, cheap sounds from inferior synth boards, etc. The drummers are bang on and then the rest of the band lets it down
.
But a good band or a great band always shines through.
ps: i remember dj'ing at a wedding reception along side a band a few years back, the young sound engineer behind the desk cranked up the bass eq (showing off towards the end of their set before we went on... and what a complete idiot i thought) on the kick drum and the keyboard guy playing the bass from a JV1080 module, it was way too muddy, the vocals just disappeared, the melody from the nordlead faded, he killed the show. Lucky they had their own sound rig to us.
