-- These guys dress up and mimic Queen superbly. Hopefully they'll come back to the UK soon.

The only two I have seen live were a Rush tribute band and a Metallica tribute band. Both were amazing and sounded exactly like the real deal. I can't remember the bands' names though.

We have one locally called Dr. Feelgood, a Motley Crue tribute band. Some nights they are "on" and other nights, not so much.

Oh, I also forgot the local Iron Maiden tribute band, Powerslave. They are always excellent when I see them, because the singer is even better than Bruce D i c k inson, ha,ha. Sadly he is leaving the band and their are in search of a new lead singer- good luck dudes.

I want to go see Girls, Girls, Girls, the all-girl Motley tribute, in NYC when I get up there in the summer or fall. Has anyone seen them?

The Shiittty Beatles.... They any good?? They suck.. Posted by Paul Dangerously, you iceholes.... (Member # 1022) on :
You guys sound pretty good. If you added a bit of Deep Purple, Blue Öyster Cult or Rainbow to that setlist, I'd come an see you guys. As long as it was in Central London of course.
They're touring England at the moment. No London shows though. Posted by annier (Member # 3305) on :
I've seen the Australian Doors and the L.A Doors....Aussie doors were the best.

We are playing at Harlequins Rugby Club next month at one of their dinner events, but we're also looking to get a date at some place near Covent Garden that our front-man knows of - if we get that, I'll let you know!
As for the setlist, we're currently adding London Calling by The Clash, some more Maroon 5, She sells Sanctuary by The Cult, and can always play Smoke On The Water and Since You've Been Gone.

how can there be a tribute band page without mentioning The Machine.
and i know there used to be a doors tribute band called Crystal Ship. don't know if they're still around. i always remembered them because of a Dead Milkmen song.
and there's a sabbath tribute band that's supposed to be great called Sabbra Cadabra.

Has anyone seen Get the Led Out? I'm considering going to see them if I hear good reviews. I saw a Led Zep tribute band many years ago- they played a free show at our college campus. The best was the guy who was "Jimmy Page". He looked like Pagey from the 1970's and his guitar work was pretty good!

Dread Zeppelin were the best LZ Tribute band ever....
There are some great Australian tribute bands stretching over the last few decades -
Elton Jack - Elton John Bjorn Again and BABBA - ABBA The Beatnix - The Beatles (these guys performed at my high school in 1989, cementing my love for the Beatles) Thunderstruck - ACDC KISSteria - KISS Beyond the Dark Side - Pink Floyd Achtung Baby - U2 All ****ed Up - Joe ****er Bryan Jovi - Bon JOvi and Bryan Adams Frank Bennett - An excellent inpersonator of Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra Green Date - Green Day Message in a bottle - Split Enz

My husband saw THE MACHINE (PINK FLOYD) on a booze cruise and loved them.
We saw a BLACK SABBATH cover band and a LED ZEPPELIN (I think theyw ere called BLACK DOG)one on a booze cruise. The SABBATH one went on first (the guy looked and dressed just like Ozzy. hahaha) and I was lovin it. By the time the ZEPPELIN band was on I was out on deck looking at the Statue Of Liberty and the skyline so I missed most of their act. What I saw of them was good though.
I saw BJORN AGAIN twice, once with my sisters and once with my husband and another couple. I would definately go see them again because-lets facce it- Im never gonna get to see the real ABBA perform!
I also saw a DEF LEPPARD cover band for my friends bridal shower girls night out. Cant remember what they were called though.
