Thunderstruck Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm now off to see an Oasis tribute band, hope they are good.Any of you seen any tribute bands? If so who, and did they bear any resemblance to the actual band.I have seen a GnR tribute, a Kiss tribute (the guys who were on Rock School - Dressed to Kill), and an Iron Maiden band.

Garden Of Eden Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I can see how people would find it entertaining to fo see a tribute band. Personally, I would have more fun doing something else, I don't think I would ever enjoy one. Which brings me to my answer, no, can't say I have.

igyhi Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've seen Aussie Pink Floyd. They were pretty badass, it's not easy to try to cover Gilmour's emotional guitar work, and they did a pretty good job, except for maybe Comfortably Numb. The Time solo sounded almost exactly as the Studio verson of the real Floyd, so that was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm going to hopefully go and see a GnR tribute band in a couple of days at the Marquee Club...should be fun! Has anyone else seen Guns 2 Roses and thought them good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray_TH Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Whilst I'm loathe to admit it... I once saw Bjorn Again when they played at T in the Park a few years back.I was a bit pissed and the alternatives at that point were all worse. I'm not into Abba (no, really)... but as tribute bands go they were probably quite good.... if you were into that sort of thing.I also saw Dread Zeppelin play at the Venue in Edinburgh a long, long time ago (They were great). More importantly, I managed to get off with a skanky girl that night who knew the band and so I got dragged to their tiny smelly dressing room afterwards and was duly rewarded with one of Tortelvis's stick on sideburns and a signed TShirt which has never been worn and smells awful!I'd like to say I owned one of Slash's guitar picks instead... but sadly... no...(SLASH if you're out there I'll happily trade you the sideburn for a Les Paul or a high class groupie!)

Paula McKagan Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've seen Skin N Bones -tribute to GnR-and im seeing them again the 25th of this month!!! they're awesome and "axl" and "izzy" are sooo damn good and look alike and i've seen a tribute to Queen too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstruck Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well, I just got back from the Oasis tribute.Surprise surprise, they were not brilliant. They were ok, but murdered some songs, and I noticed they fluffed the lines a few times. The weirdest thing was that "Liam" sang all the Noel songs, which I thought was a bit shoddy.I forgot to say earlier that I Have seen Dirty DC, who are the best tribute group I have seen. "Angus" looks just like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mable Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have seen a Led Zeppelin tribute. Can´t remember the name though..But it was awesome! Especially the singer, he was just like Robert Plant including his voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've seen "Bounce", a Bon Jovi Tribute band, and i'll see em again on 12/02.they're bloody awesome, check 'em out! bonjovitribute.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged44 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've heard a ton of GNR tribute band recordings on-line. It does sort of show how key Axl was to the band, since it is possible for a really good guitar player to duplicate Slash's guitar pretty well, but it's impossible to duplicate Axl's singing. The singing always comes across as nothing more then a really bad imitation, because no one really sounds like Axl naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Child Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have seen:Dirty DC - AC/DC tribute band, saw them twice infact, they were brilliant.Dressed To Kill - Kiss tribute band, again they were brilliant, but they couldn't do any pyrotechnics because of insurance.By Jovi - Bon Jovi tribute band, they were quite good, I'm not a massive Bon Jovi fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I've seen Franz Ferdinand, and they're a carbon copy of Talking Heads. Shame they're nothing up to scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artfromtex Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 i've seen Back In Black, an awesome AC/DC tribute band. I've also seen Me and My Monkey who have to be the best Beatles tribute in the world. I'm lucky to live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we have alot of good local bands here, including mine!!!

I just narrowly missed out on The Cavern beatles. I was going to see the Bootleg Beatles (regarded as the best) in the summer, but they cancelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 A couple of days ago I saw Guns 2 Roses at the Marquee Club (where Guns N' Roses played their first UK gig!) and they were so good! B) It took them a while to tune up, but when they got started they did a great set with a totally awesome rendition of Mr Brownstone and You Could Be Mine...my only criticism is that "Axl" really couldn't dance like Axl...but they had all the right intros like Sail Away Sweet Sister and It Tastes Good Don't It, it was a really fun evening.
