I REALLY need your opinions.

[VoiceX3]

Ok, suppose you play in a specialty cover band doing songs that no other band is coverring and you are billed that way.....then another band of "friends" starts to piggyback your setlist.... I don't mean songs from the same bands, I mean songs that you already do, and chose because nobody else in the area had the balls to play them in a club. For instance, a Pantera song such as "Hollow" which isn't exactly one of Pantera's barnburner hits, but is a very cool song. With all the albums Pantera has put out, why on earth would you pick that song knowing that we already play it.

Do you think that's f'd up? I see friendships being severely damaged because of this!!!

[Norton]

I do think that is fucked up. I would talk about the matter with them. And threatening usually works.

[neilli]

Yeah, I'd say that was fucked up - if they're going to go with the 'no-one else plays these songs' type idea, they need to follow it through, not just copy you guys..... still, you'll just have to be better than them!

[Infernal Death]

Yes it's definitely not cool but then again you are playing cover songs. It's not like you wrote the songs and own the rights of them.
I would seriously be pissed if the band of some friends of mine steal my songs or my riffs.
I really wouldn't threat them. I mean what reason do you have ? Just because they play the same cover songs ? Again it's not your property.
Yes like i said it's not cool and as friends they should know better or at least have contacted you before. I would have a normal talk with them to see what's up with their choice of songs.

I wouldn't sweat it providing you don't split bill with these guys.

[Cleveland Metal]

Sucks that they are in bumfuck PA... There's like one bar there, and those guys are fags for snagging your niche...

Learn other songs and F those guys... Evolve... No other real choice..

[j4vice]

oooOOOooo

[Norton]

You have a sufficient number of pointy guitars to stab them.

[nor]

Be better at that list than they are.

[Twisteramps]

Be better at that list than they are.

+1. And pick some harder songs, so they can't even cover them if they wanted to.

[horns666]

Flo..."I would seriously be pissed if the band of some friends of mine steal my songs or my riffs"

...tell me about it

[Mordor]

At the next show you gonna play, tell to the audience that some other band is trying to copy your setlist and that doing this is not funny at all

[zeegler]

Yeah, that's not really cool, especially if they are supposed to be friends. As others have said, just make sure you play the songs better.

[horns666]

I'd pee on the muthafuggas!

[Norton]

I'd pee on the muthafuggas!

"pee" means "beating to death" in cleveland?
