So what mix would give me the better chance of being inducted into the band? Only playing someone else's songs? Only own riffs? Or some mix between the two to cover the genres I want to play? The band I'll be "auditioning" for plays both originals and covers, by the way.

Again, I'm only asking because I really, really want to leave a good impression on these guys.

I would say do some homework - like researching a company before you go on a job interview. Do you have any access to some of their original songs - youtube, CD, mp3 from Amazon? I think it would be pretty impressive if you chose a track of theirs that you really liked and learned it before you showed up. Maybe make sure you know some of the covers they do to. Have you ever seen them play live? If not, you should check them out to get a feel of how they are and act on stage.
