BOC: Stale Setlist? Not a problem.

[BREVARD Adrian R.]

Sorry for the staleness of this post but was out of the office and had
to wade through 4 digests.

Real interesting observations about the stale set list and the whys.
The tuth is in there somewhere but only the band and crew know for sure.
 What really motivates 3OC is a mystery on the scale of Imaginos but
think about this.  If the standard fee is still the same 8 show in 8
days = $40,000.  There aren't a lot of people that make that kind of
money in a year.

It does bring to mind an interesting question, if you 're making decent
money simply re-hashing whats already been done why cut a new album at
all?  Why not do a real Cult Classics and simply record either all or
selected songs from the first three albums.  I think that would sell
better especially to die hards dissapointed with WoTT.

Also on tBS doing more BOC covers, not a good idea.  It only distracts
from the great stuff they are doing.  Yeah I'd love to hear some selcted
covers but it shouldn't bet at the expense of the great things they are
doing.  Besides its hard enough to get a break in this business, why
would you want to play covers of a band that are (well no other way to
put this) considered "has beens" by the industry at large?  tBS is
making a run at getting something done, but if a group this talented is
having trouble breaking through on their own merits no use trying with
other peoples materials.
