It's like eating Pop Rocks and drinking Coke at the same time... ever wonder what happened to Mikey from the Life cereal commercials?
Yeah, I'm so fucking right about this.

Recreating this experiment on the set of Diff'rent Strokes single-handedly fucked up all of the child actors on that show. Mr. Drummond remained unharmed, thank God. That man's a national treasure.

Tribute bands are entertainers, not artists, and they don't claim to be.
Tribute acts are just as pure and authentic as those they are tributing, as they are usually people who enjoy playing songs, as opposed to writing songs. There's nothing wrong with that, it's all legit.
Remarkably, in the act of pretending to be someone they are not, they are at their most genuine....
Do what ya wanna do......and if ya do it well, I applaud ye.

I'm sorry for saying anything. I should never say anything. Everything I say is wrong. I should hide in a dark place and never try offer a view. I'm sorry everyone.

The only way this thread would makes sense, it would be if there was an Ashlee Simpson tribute band.

Fuck.
I could invent new words, but I'd still be just rearranging letters other people have already created.

Taste is the enemy of art... clearly
so i suppose the new york philharmonic, who dress up in tuxes and play other people's music, aren't real artists?
yo yo ma will smack you with his cello.

This thread pretty much proves the point that there is no real answer to the age old question of what is art because everyone sees and hears things differently.
To say that someone isn't an artist because they don't play their own music, simply isn't true in my opinion. For instance say that you have a lyricist; he or she is an artist for writing the music. Now they might not have a great voice so they give their lyrics to a recording artist who yes, has their own 'interpretation' of the song, but they them self are creating the sound and emotions for how the audience will respond to it.
Tribute bands are for entertainment but the people in the tribute bands are artists in their own right because they have to either be able to sing or play their instrument well. This is what contradicts Screwtapes opinion I believe. Just because the musicians are playing someone elses music, doesn't take away the fact that they have great musical skills behind the presentation.
You can't label art.

you are what you is
an artist creates
Frank Sinatra created awesomeness out of lyrics and music that in someone else's hand is just nice
the London Philharmonic creates beauty out of sheet music in a way that not many can equaly
some cover bands create a wonderful evening
some cover bands are just shit
much like some painters, poets, writers and composers can be shit

This thread has to go into the hall of fame...all it needs is a little sexing up, and it will have everything you could ever want.
Honestly also one of the strangest threads ever on Interference, other than intentionally weird threads of which there is quite a lot.
