Tribute Bands

[medwayjon]

Who is the best you have heard???

Went to see UK Guns N' Roses last night and they were incredible, in terms of the sound you would have mistaken them for the real thing at times if you didn't know better.

Other good'uns were, By Jovi, Stereotonics and Oasish whom I am seeing next week.

As for last night though, wow.

Not seen that may as always preffered to see the real thing. However having said that, the cost of tickets has rocketed and good tribute bands are more local, smaller venues, (better atmosphere), tend to have only 'real' fans, rather than a bunch of kids who go because of a one hit wonder. (Simple Minds - Don't You, Wembley '89).

The sound that these tribute bands can generate can be incredibly good, but it's also the way that they copy the real bands moves and antics. Just makes it complete.

Seen AC/DC and Bryan Adams tribute bands which were pretty good.

Going to see the fool fighters & stereotonics soon also.

The worst tribute I ever saw was an abba tribute, I dont like abba hugely anyway but this crowd looked and sounded nothing like them.

I saw a Queen tribute band once and whilst I can not compare them to the real thing, I thought they were brilliant, as did everyone else that was there. Another great tribute which I was told was practically identical to the real thing was a 'four tops' tribute band which was the entertainment for one night when I went on holiday once.

Only one I ever saw was a Coors look-alike set - we went for a laugh and certainly got what we paid for. As for music and sheer copycat they were awful - out of tune and time, missed chords, etc.. Expectations were met and prolly why I can't remember the band's name...

The Bootleg beatles are fantastic.....

 

[medwayjon]

I don't like beatles tribute bands, I am a huge beatles fan and it is like blasphemy for me to see people impersonating John Lennon.

It is the same with Evis.

I have heard they are good though.

If you ever get the chance to go and see THE JAMM they are fantastic seen them twice. Even the lead singer looks like Weller.

 

[medwayjon]

The Jamm are playing at my usual gaff in a couple of weeks, will have to check them out.

Definitely Mightbe are as close to Oasis as you can (if you shut your eyes).
