why would you put a cover song on YOUR demo.  its not yours.  a demo should 
be showing your songwriting and sound, not someone else's.  all you would be 
doing is showing you can play an instrument and can read tab, which a monkey 
could do.  

the idea of doing a SDRE tribute album is amusing, especially since SDRE is 
together right now.  it would be a good way for a band to get known.  the 
only problem i see with it is that SDRE songs are arranged and played in a 
certain way, and for a band to take a song and rearrange it or play it 
differently can take away from the song itself.  the cover song just might 
now be as emotionally arousing as the original.  that is just a problem with 
covers in general i guess. any thoughts on this?
