Tribute bands


WFA

Recommended Posts

So the back story for this. I have had Mötley Crüe's Chicks=Trouble stuck in my head and I decided to listen to it on YouTube. Well the first video that came up wasn't Crüe, it was some tribute act called Sixx Times Mad. I couldn't make it through the chorus :lol:

Based on the video they posted for Shout '97, you've got a Theatre era Nikki onstage with a CoS Vince (who is the worst singer I have ever heard, it is an embarrassment to the real Vince Neil), present day Mick Mars, and I can't see their Tommy. And the backup singer, wtf? :lol: is that supposed to be JoZie or something? :lol:

Anyways, they get my vote as worst tribute band ever

What are your favorite/least favorite tribute bands?

One of my faves is The Australian Pink Floyd Show. Check out more of their covers, they kick ass.

Or you could just...watch the real thing/listen to modern music.

Tribute bands? Really?

When the real thing isn't an option, some times tribute bands can be a fun night out. The Austrailian Pink Floyd Show (now called Brit Floyd) is fucking amazing.

This is my favorite tribute act I've ever seen though:

I see them every time I'm in Vegas. I actually got to do a song with them a couple years back which was awesome.

I've seen my share of Maiden tribute bands, as it's common for a pre-party or after-party to have a tribute band. Best I've ever seen was called Hi-On Maiden - they played the after-party in Cardiff in 2011, and did a set of only songs Maiden has ever played live. It was a lot of fun.

I'm not that big into tribute bands but I went and saw Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience a year or two ago. He is a legit connection to the band so I figured, why not?

Phenomenal gig, so glad I went! I don't know if I would ever go that far out of my way to see a tribute show unless I was in it, unless there was a band connection like Jason, or if there were awesome acts in it (like the guys in the Experience Hendrix tour)
