They actually have a festival for tribute bands.
The best tribute act I have seen was a Queen tribute by a guy who won a stars in their eyes competition on tv a few years ago, Gary Mullen I think his name was.
He actually started off doing karaoke in the Horseshoe Bar from what i've heard.
Heh This is madness! Living your life as someone else... Should be fun though don't think it means a lot musically. |

Found this a while ago.
Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now
I think it's quite funny. I am a Coldplay fan but I think it's rather clever how it sounds like Coldplay without actually being a Coldplay song. |

Yeh. Some of them do have creative names tho. Whoever does this for a living has to keep up with what the actual artist is doing at all times. That must be exhausting. |

That was great lol. Couldn't make out the writing on his hand. Is it the same? |

Sometimes I wonder the same... but they would be more useful for a group that doesn't exist anymore....

The Bootleg Beatles are pretty good. Seen them twice (indoor and outdoor). Their version of Penny Lane was far superior to the original.

Well... i'll never get to see The Doors. So a tribute band is the only way i'll get a live experience of their music.
There's a 'covers band' called The Racketeers who have played at my student's union a few times, and they do covers of popular contemporary songs. Always good for a dance! Moreso than a DJ playing the songs anyway |

There's an Austrailian Doors who are very good indeed but don't know if they're still going |

I always find this one a hard one to answer. Personally I don't see the point in going to see bands like the complete stone roses or the bootleg beatles. It just doesn't do anything for me.
But then I remember I enjoy classical music, and at the end of the day aren't orchestra's and concert bands essentially cover bands putting their own interpretation on mozart and beethoven. Thats the part I struggle to answer!
I'll tell you what gigs I really don't see the point in - stadium shows. Especially ones for over the hill rockers like the Stones, Eagles, The Who, the Police and so on. I mean you pay what £70 for a ticket to watch old men on stage at an atmosphereless show, where you're about half a mile from the stage. You can't see the whites of the bands eyes and you can't emotionally connect with them in any level. So you're left with the bang for your bucks factor, i.e. the stage show. Which will invariably be shit as these guys are all too old to do fuck all. Buy it on dvd. At best. |
