You must play in a cover band for the rest of your life. Assume that you will earn good money and that you only have to play a few shows per year (though you may decide to do more).

Who do you choose?

In my mind, the only respectable choices as a guitarist are Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Other acts would feel stale after a while.

definitely not grimes

Charles Bronson

>grateful dead, where not a single song was played the same way live twice
>stale

although i'd say the velvet underground

My bloody valentine because it'd be piss easy and I wouldn't actually have to put on a good show.

REM

talking heads

Portishead.

The Grateful Dead would be an interesting one. Their music has never jumped out at me, though. They have too many releases for me to know how to begin.

Start with Live/Dead

The Kinks.

The Ramones

The Beach Boys

I'd try to find an incredibly obscure artist with a huge discography and say I wrote it.

unusual
respectable
fun

surprised nobody said the beatles or pink floyd

A beatles cover band made me want to learn guitar so I guess I'd choose them, but I'd try to sneak in a few of my own.

oasis because i can play wonderwall

this was my first thought, would be stupid fun every night

second pick is The Smiths so I can live out my fantasy of being Morrissey

Slipknot

I would cover Electric Light Orchestra

Slipknot cover bands have crazy concerts.

>tribute act playing original songs
umokay32kbps.wma

the bangles

Queen or Genesis

black sabbath but i want to be geezer

Bowie

Zep and Sabbath are the best answers. To this I would add AC/DC.

Also, I don't think they've reached this kind of status yet, lol, but I'd be down for a Clutch cover band.
