Is it that easy though? Does it really come down to which people are in the band? Has music really nothing to do with it?

By your logic AC/DC is a cover band They've got 3 different members nowadays, including a different singer. Yet they sound like AC/DC.

Bon Jovi have 3 original members and sound nothing like Bon Jovi despite having the original singer.

Bounce have no original members and sound very much like Bon Jovi. They get closer to replicating Bon Jovi's studio sound than Bon Jovi have in about 20 years as Bon Jovi's live sound is very different from their studio sound.

Out of these 3, which is the cover band?
