I think covers are a very exciting addition to any bands set, if you want to play it faithful then I think a band that suites that style better always works well (Dethlahem, P-Naut/Sabotage/Orgasmatron and even Noctis doing their amazing cover/s)
But if a band can do a song with their own spin it can very worthwhile when done right.
For anyone interested Sins has covered the following
Roots Bloody Roots-Sepultura
The Faded Line- LOG
The Great Southern Trendkill-Pantera
Five to One- The Doors
Angry Chair- Alice in Chains
Toxic Garbage Island- Gojira
The start of Ocean Plant- Gojira ( Used as intro into a set)
Id love to see more band doing covers, faithful and experimental.
Sins is even thinking of doing a night with bands performing covers of MTV Unplugged songs which could also already be covers themselves
ala Nirvana's take on Bowie's the man who sold the world.
Your thoughts on that type of gig people?
Just try and leave out any Brittany or Madison Avenue covers eh?
