All this talk of who's the best is a little laughable because nothing replaces the real thing. Would love to know what the band thinks of these covers.

Agreed. It is not like it is a contest. :lol:

I'd be at a Hip show all the time myself vs. playing their tunes - if I could.

Re what TTH thinks of covers.... I always wondered myself. I ran into the boys at the lounge in the Vancouver airport on the Friday just before the Junos (they too were coming from Seattle). I did not want to bug them for long during their down-time, but talked to Sinclair a bit and they signed for me (all but Paul who was not there). I mentioned to Gord S. that I was in one of the bands that has been paying tribute to their music on weekends (Little Bones, over 13 years with same 5 guys), and that I had always wondered what they thought of 'cover bands'. Gord said "thanks for doing that", and signed "thanks Dan". Both Gord S and Robbie turned to me when they left and wished me a good flight. I wanted to ask a hundred questions but did not want to impose.

Dan

I think it is very honourable Dan that you had the chance to bombard them with questions but chose otherwise. Downtime to the guys must be very important and yet they still signed your stuff. Nice!
