Tribute Bands

[Bjornebye]

Seen some boss ones over the years. Without a doubt the best I've seen are Fleetingwood Mac. I kind of know the lead singer as well, she is sound as fuck. mesmerising seeing them live. 

 

Got two press pass tickets to see the Illegal Eagles on Wednesday in the Empire. Taking me Dad to it. Cant wait

Rusted Glory do a good Neil Young thing.

 

Also, A Ray of Charles are a superb party band.

[Bjornebye]

Seen 'From the Jam' a few times. Bruce Foxton plays in them as well. They are boss. The Smyths are another decent tribute band. 

 

Was in 5 Mill Lane last night in West Derby, they had a singer on doing Brit Pop tracks. The sound was awful to be fair but he was a decent bloke.

Not knocking tribute bands by any means, but they’re not for me. I’d much rather see an up and coming artist than someone pretending to be someone else.

 

I believe some of these bands are talented musicians and performers, but it all seems so uninspiring to me. Also, I’ve usually got zero interest in the bands they’re paying tribute to. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Never seen a tribute band, apart from a woeful Take That one at an old work's do. 

 

Some lad I know was at a festival this weekend which is exclusively for rock tribute bands. Rockfest, I think it was called. He goes to one called Festwich too. I think they're both ticketed but free entry events. He raves about them and, to be fair, always appears to have a good laugh at them, going from the pictures he posts on Facebook and that.

Behave Stig. Paul just wants to get his marker pen out and write "Killjoy was here" on the wall. 

 

I'm gutted to have passed up the chance to see Earth Wind for Hire at Glastonbury one year, on account of the fact that I was out of my mind on drugs.

Not particularly bothered either way about tribute bands. I've seen a Rod Stewart one and the bloke looked a right prick and obviously led his life obsessed as if he was actually the cockney scottish tight fisted gravel voiced warbler.

I wonder why you feel that way about him.

I'd forgotten he supported Celtic. He's clearly an even bigger cunt than A Red gives him credit for.

Otterspool now cunt 

[Pureblood]

I'm with Paul, they're just not for me.  Although some of the bands I'm into sound like tribute acts.  Deaf Wish sound exactly like early Sonic Youth, LVL UP sounded like a Pavement tribute act and so on.  But the material is still original and I kind of like the way those bands unashamedly attempted to mimic the sound of the bands who inspired them.

You should see what i can do with a stick of celery. Or you could just ask yer ma.

[A Red]

I'll be the 6ft 2 cunt flexing his biceps whilst stroking his goatee

[A Red]

Anyway, I did see a good AC/DC one that did 2 sets, one with Bon Scott and one with whatsisname and then finished off with both singers together.

She's too busy with 100 carrots.

My mum is in a Tonys Maa tribute band 

[Tony Moanero]

I’m not really a fan of tribute acts. They’re something I’d only bother with if going to see the real thing isn’t possible. For example, I’ve seen and enjoyed The Backbeat Beatles but wouldn’t bother with a Fleetwood Mac tribute, regardless of how good they are, because it’s still possible to watch Nicks and Mick Fleetwood.

[TheHowieLama]

Oasis was a good one.
