Cover Bands.

[beautiful soup]

a girl I was dating bought me tickets to see Bruce Springsteen at House of Blues. I was like, that's amazing. He's playing a small venue and you were able to score tix. I said it must have cost $500 and that was way too much for me to accept. She said they were only $10 so I was immediately suspicious.

Yep, a Bruce tribute band. They were good but...womens, what are you gonna do?

One of my favorite Howard bits from the past is one that never gets replayed where he talks about a Doors tribute band. The lead really thought he was Morrison and climbed in the rafters of the venue. He fell out of the ceiling and broke his neck or something.

Just so I understand.
Tribute Band - They dress like, attempt to resemble & play the music of a single band exactly the way it was recorded. Ex. One Night of Queen, Hugo's Journey
Cover Band/single - They play the music of a single band exactly the way it was recorded. Ex. Get the Led Out, The Fab Faux
Cover band/genre - They play the music of a certain time & genre the exact way it was recorded, or close enough. Ex. Raiding the Rock Vault, That 90's Band
Cover band/gimmick - They play cover songs, but with their own spin. Ex. Richard Cheese, Dread Zeppelin
Cover band/parody - They play cover songs the way it was recorded, but change the lyrics to be silly. Ex. Weird Al
Original Band/parody - They play original songs, but in a way that captures a certain time and/or genre. Ex. Steel Panther
Feel free to correct &/or add!

These guys are pretty damn good. Give them a go. Plenty of songs to choose from. @DeeStar I think you'll like them.

I was lucky to see this band a few times. Closest thing you'll ever get to seeing the real Doors.

I'm pretty sure I saw them play at Edison Park Fest a year ago. They were great. The guys are a little too into the look for people who are probably city workers during the week but they were good.

Have you ever gone to one of Tributasaurus' shows?

Never heard of that one.

Dude can we get a welfare check on those kids? Look at their YouTube clips, it’s all yacht rock. Nfw 12 year olds would willingly play that shit

Didn't read the whole thread ... some bands do awesome covers, sometimes better than the original ... that said, any bands that do strictly covers ,or worse ... tributes ... fuck off ...
" hey man Aussie Pink Floyd is coming to town, wanna go " ... no and go fuck yourself ...

We listened to some of the other songs that they have done and they were ok. But the cover of I Can't Tell You Why is spot on. It helps that that song is one of my all time favorites. You're right about the songs on YouTube. No doubt their parents must be into Yacht Rock and they grew up listening to it.

I like the cover bands that do the songs just like the original. Like this great cover band.
