Trouble - Sunday Feb 16 @ Metro

Covers are fine under three situations:

1. They make it their own where it's not just a straight cover but they do something different with it.

2. They have at least a 90 minute set (but even in this case it has to be the right cover)

3. They're headlining but don't have much original material.
 
Simon,
I have to add a fourth situation....

I think they can work well for younger bands playing fests.
Gives people something to remember them by.

I mentioned Angel Witch before at Ragnarokkr.
Another from that weekend that comes to mind is when Demon Bitch did Tyrant. They did a great job with it.

Agreed, especially if they don't have that much original material yet.
