Tribute Bands in general Reviews

I have been in several bands myself over the years, and at times I have thought about maybe setting up a tribute or covers band. However, as my main motivation for being in a band in the first place is to get my own songs heard by as many people as I can, and to communicate myself through my music, I decided not to. I have, however, ...

To many people, a tribute band means a poor excuse for young, budding musicians to play other peoples? songs to assorted teenagers from the local town in the hopes of getting a ?you were that guitar guy, weren?t you?? brief sexual encounter. To an extent this is true, but I have a great love and appreciation for talented tribute bands ...

I go to a local rock club every week, and I have seen about three different tribute bands of some of my favourite bands ever. I have seen Teen Spirit, the Nirvana tribute band probably more than five times, they are amazingly popular especially with those of us who weren’t into Nirvana when they were still going. I have also seen Sad But ...

OK, well. Where do I start? Tribute bands come in many shapes and forms. I am sure that many of them are full of very talented individuals, but unfortunately they have sold any professional credibility they may have once had, along with their souls to some musical form of Satan. This is justified by the idea that if they did have any original ...

I have a vision of a musical supergroup... It came to me on a tube train where I saw a poster advertising some tacky theme parties - murder mystery weekends and Queen tribute bands all mixed up into some unholy stew. Also somehow in the mix were Madness and Madonna tributes, whereupon I was struck by my vision which is mine and mine alone and ...

Right for you people out there this is an opinion about a tribute album but I couldnt find the right catagory for it so apologies. "Strait up" is a tribute album to a great man with one of the best voices of our time but his music carrer was tradgically cut short when his car crashed killing James Lynn Strait and his dog ...

If you're a big fan of a certain band, and suddenly the lead singer dies; bringing the band to a tragic end, you're bound to be upset. Who wouldn't? My two favourite bands have both broken up after the lead singer dies (Nirvana, Sublime)but sad as I may be, I accept it. The thing I disagree with is when followers of ...

This op is based on the tribute album that was released last year named "Abbamania" it was an album that was recorded by a mixture of artists. As seen on ITV, "Abbamania" had many of the ABBA hits such as "Voulez Vous" and "Money Money Money". This album is a great tribute to ABBA and is a good album because ...

There are a veritable plethora of tribute bands springing up every day across the country. The majority of them will last a few months and then peter out either through a lack of commitment or the instant success that their members crave. I am real advocate of tribute bands as it allows fans of the original band to hear live renditions of ...

Not quite sure about Tribute bands, What is the point ? I kind of understand it for bands that are no longer around, well ones that were any good. Maybe the Beatles, ABBA, T-rex, Queen, and Elvis. But what I hate is the tribute bands that copy bands that are around now. There are people who copy Steps, Britney Spears, S club 7, ...
