We are a classic rock cover band with female front. I came across this song by Blue October called HATE ME!!!!!!!!! I FRIGGIN love this song and am trying to pitch it to my 4 other male band mates. One guy is dissing it. I think this will go over kick a$$. Any thoughts.

I absolutely love the song too!
Good Luck, everyone needs to be on the same page for it to be performed in a way to do it justice.

Please dont committ musical suicide by covering a horrid song.

Just my 2 cents!

lol. The song isn't THAT bad and besides... it's popular, which means the general concensus feels the way the author of this thread feels; not you.

Covers can bring some good attention to your band if you do them right and play them to the right crowd. Go for it!

Matt Harlos wrote:yes covers can, but that band is obviously a one hit wonder, and I would stay far away from that song no matter what.

Especially if your band doesnt like it as well.

They've been around for quite awhile and have had a number of tunes on the radio before. They're very diverse and you probably wouldn't recognize them as the same band without it being noted as such. That being said, I missed the detail about one of the bandmates not being into it. Man, there's nothing worse than having to play a song you're not into... even if it does draw a crowd. If the money is worth it, it's worth a shot but other than that, I say look for something the other guys will be into as well. I absolutely agree with Matt where this is concerned.
