Fake Fest 2006

Post by MetDream »

Here in the booming metropolis of Reno, Nevada, the state fair will soon be upon us. The local radio station that hosts the morning talk show I listen to is giving away tickets to the Fake Fest featuring: AC/DD, Areosmith, and Led Zepplin tribute bands. Oh boy oh boy!!!! I wanna win!!! :P

Well, it depends...I went to see this band called Comfortably Numb: Canada's Pink Floyd and it was simply breath taking. This guys sounded AMAZING and I am going to see Led Zepplica next weekend, this guys sold out Madison Square Garden 3 times and they are just a tribute band. I like covers and tribute bands, specially since many of the original bands I would never have the chance to see them live.

Yeah it will pretty much depend on how good the tribute bands are.


Some bands will get it practically spot on, and it's pretty much just like being at the real thing with only the fact that other people are making the sounds to pull you out of the illusion.

By the way Mr Metal, I would LOVE to see something like Led Zepplica in my life time. Since was born too late to experience the real thing I would love to see the next best thing!

There's an Ozzy/ Sabbath tribute band in Melbourne called War Pigs and the Ozzys is spot on, albeit a bit overweight. He sounds exactly like Ozzy except when he talks to the crowd he has a thick Aussie accent.

Pinge and Purge are a good Metallica cover band.
