Top 10 Worst Cover Band Names and Concepts

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Every once in a while when two or more drea­mers get together, pos­sibly in one of their living room’s, they start tal­king about being in a band. To save those future drea­mers some time, I’ve com­pi­led a list of:
Top 10 Worst Cover Band Names and Con­cepts
10. The Gra­te­ful Dudes – The Big Lebowski clo­nes sing Gra­te­ful Dead songs. The Dudes Abide.
9. Dead Zep­pe­lin – Colos­sal Led Zep covers by peo­ple dres­sed up like the corp­ses of Jimi Hen­drix, Janis Joplin and Elvis. Occa­sio­nal appea­ran­ces by John Bonham him­self.
8. Swea­ta­llica – Ima­gine Swea­ting to the Oldies upbeat ver­sions of Meta­llica clas­sics. Nothing else mat­ters.
7. Bob Against the Machine – Yep, Bob Dyla­nes­que folk ver­sions of Rage Against the Machine songs. Dust in Wind has never had machine guns mixed in so art­fully.
6. Pat Sab­bath – Pat Boone Meets Black Sab­bath. It was ine­vi­ta­ble.
5. Star­KISS – A bunch of guys in make-up, spit­ting fire and sin­ging about tuna. Part rock, part lunch.
4. The Rolling Tones – Aca­pe­lla Rolling Sto­nes music in a bar­bershop style.
3. The Noto­rious A.L.A.B.A.M.A. – Gangsta rap ver­sions of Ala­bama songs. Believe it or they will pop a cap in yer truck.
2. Man Halen – A Chipendale’s review of Van Halen Music, which could revi­ta­lize the song “Jump”.
1. Guns n’ Moses – Gos­pel ver­sion of Appe­tite for Des­truc­tion. The Pipe organ ver­sion of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” will bring you to your knees.

When Albert Eins­tein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn’t unders­tand Ger­man. The les­son to learn from this is, never trust German-speaking nurses.

“Family Friendly” Sturgis Rally?

Monday, August 10th, 2009

From the first time I ever set foot in Stur­gis SD during the rally, I was told that it was “SO much less wild than it used to be. It’s way more family friendly.” OK. All I’m saying is, the year Jonas Brothers or Han­nah Mon­tana play Stur­gis is the year that I pro­mise to never go back.
