Usually they do it, because they want feedback, they don't get with their own sound. If you do something new, less people understand this, if you imitate something, people are able to understand what you do. Imagine when you was young. Go tell your parents that you want to become a professional musician, you need an evidence to show them that you are able to be a professional musician. If you tell your parents that you want to become a banker no evidence is needed. However, you can't play your own compositions, you need to play music from musicians that are known to be geniuses. Musical evolution is much slower than other evolutions, because some people won't eat anything they've never seen before. A prophet has no honor in his own country. If you tell your parents, teachers etc. that you want to become a painter (artist), they recommend to become a house-painter and decorator or car varnisher instead. It's a long and hard way before you are allowed to make your own music, to paint your own pictures. Regards, Ralf
