"First of all, the next U2 will be an original music band, like U2, not a cover band". All new bands play cover and orignal music when getting started. All of them. I am beinging to think you don't know sqat about bands or bars.

You're wrong. There's plenty of bands out there playing their own songs from the ground up. You won't hire them because they probably don't draw or hold a crowd as well. If you were truly a patron of the arts, as you are posing to be, you'd let em come in and play. But you run a business, which is why you hire cover bands, which is why you get to pay like everyone else.
