I'd be interested in seeing that Tool covers band simply to see how good their drummer is.

That The Sex Pistols Experience? Singers resemblance to JR is a huge part of their appeal.
had to google it 😂 The Sex Pistols Exposé apparently.
not surprised I didn’t remember, the last gig we did the sound guy asked me what our band was called and I had to admit I wasn’t 100% sure 🤦🏼♂️

WTF?! Not even going to try and fix that.
Saw nirvana UK (no points for the rubbish name) in a venue above a pub in Hitchin - the right anoint of beer to suspend disbelief and I was in 90’s Seattle for 90 minutes - the lad even smashed an amp at the end - it was brilliant!
Tempted by the MK weekend!

Either a Hendrix and ZZtop tribute, depending on which set you saw. Or just a regular set of other stuff. Fantastically good. Forget how many times I saw them before they called it a dat.
if they do really well and last long enough, do tribute bands end up in the Mock and Roll hall of Fame?
I'll get my coat..
I'm surprised they can get away with using the actual band logos on that poster.
I've seen a couple of good ones, Livewire (AC/DC) and a ZZ Top tribute. They were, to be fair, really good.
I also went to watch Think Floyd at the Holmfirth Picture Drome shortly after Syd Barret died. They didn't do a bad job of playing the Floyd stuff to be fair, but they then did a piece they'd written themselves in homage to Syd. It was utter, utter garbage, simplistic and stuttering, a four-square blues type dirge.
I thought
Play your own music you artless waste of space 😛
was a bit harsh on first reading it, but Think Floyd do seem to fit the description. They were good at recreating music that they knew, but creativity isn't their strong suit.
Just to say a mate saw Guns2Roses a couple of weeks back and thought they were great.
Best pun name?
Hayseed Dixie, of course.
So good that I didn't get it for about a year after I first heard them.
Gutted I only found out they were playing Carlisle on the day of the gig last year, when I already had plans.

Are you sure that's not Dave Grohl incognito?
It's funny how your opinions change, I used to hate the cosplay type tribute bands- totally up for seeing a covers band but I didn't like the whole fakery thing, someone doing Freddie Mercury moves etc. But now, I quite like it, the extra effort is a fun part of the show. Sometimes, you just can't see the real thing.
But I do prefer when people really mix it up, such as this:
I’ve seen Aussie Pink Floyd several times (initially with my late mum and dad - dad chose to have Shine on you Crazy Diamond played at his funeral). They are great (although I fully accept they are not the real thing) and the stage sets they have are pretty astounding for a tribute band. I now go every year (they tend to play a local gig every winter in Harrogate) as a bit of a pilgrimage with both my brothers.
I’d happily saw off both legs and donate them to medical science in return for some *real* Pink Floyd tickets but that ain’t gonna happen.
