MacDaddy

Oasisn't. James Last – Plays The Greatest Songs Of The Beatles? The first tribute band I was aware of were 'Hans Valen'. In Australia back in 1990. I remember a Mexican guy doing Elvis, called 'El Vez'.

This is what I posted in a PJB thread back in 2008 😮 I had the Dalek, whick was the full PJB stack with the M500 head. In a word awesome. It's MOSFETs but IMO it totally outgunned Ampegs (I have owned Ampegs). It's all there, you need to spend some time with it then you'll find your ideal sound. Then after you've spent more time with it, you'll find your ideal sound again! It's all there the tonal options are immense. It's built like a tank (some of the components are military spec) and quite weighty because of it. There are people of this forum who's experience of PJB hasn't been good, but any email I sent was replied to either by Phil or one of the team usually the next day. I only got rid, because the stack wouldn't fit into my new car. Try it, and AB it with another amp, you'll hear the difference.

When see the videos of worship music in the USA, bands playing with Gospel choirs with vocalists that can belt it out like Aretha, and I think back to my church which occasionally had an acoustic guitar jangling along to 'Make me a channel of your Peace'...

I never hated them, but as I was very much into my heavy metal at the time, I was never bothered about U2. Now, I can appreciate what an amazingly talented guitarist The Edge is.

Have 'Bono' and 'The Edge' been mentioned yet?

There you go! 😎

up until my thread a while ago, The Grateful Dead.

and Cobalt Stargazer, and Slam Thunderhide, from the original line up.

Really?

Alice Nutter and Danbert Nobacon, from Chumbawamba. Ah, anarchists bless 'em!

In all seriousness, I don't have a stage name as such, but it's not my real name on the Facebook and other social media, what with identity theft and all.

Not if they were called Stink weeds.

MacDaddy is my stage name because of my boring real name, Brett Startwinkle.

When Ken was with Bros, they had 2 bassists live.

More info needed. Is the vocalist a great frontwoman? Big difference between singing in a band, and fronting a band. If the bands gigs are playing crowd pleasers and sing alongs to beered up pub punters, then lack of vocal ability isn't an issue.

Funnily enough I owned an LP Frampton played on. Mind you, so did several million others!

Remember, you are also auditioning them. They want your money, so don't be afraid about questioning them as to why they should be the ones to get it.

Crivens! 😬

Regarding gear that used to belong to someone 'famous', I've always thought if it's no longer good enough for them, it's not good enough for me. Obviously this would not apply if they were dead.

why do none of them have Brummie accents?

Guns n Roses - Don't Cry Terrible misfret 4 seconds in.

Drummers, when playing to a click, what kind of click do you prefer?

didn't they do something similar about 20 years ago, when they got a U2 tribute band to play on the Late Late Show, while Bono et al were sat on the back row?
