Big_Stu Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My favourite was/is a Scottish band "Raj Against The Machine"; it helps if you understand Scots slang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pay to see that, I really would! A friend of mine's done something similar, but they're called Juan Direction... you can imagine!

HengistPod Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 There's a very good Hungarian Iron Maiden tribute band called "Iron Maidnem". Various punnery involved, as "majdnem" means "almost" in Hungarian, and "nem" means "no". They go the absolute hog, too, with their own Eddie and everything. http://www.ironmaidnem.hu/eng 02 band.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I always liked the name that I came up with for our Pink Floyd tribute - Wish You Were Floyd. Unfortunately we never got to gig before it all folded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band I've seen are The Iron Ladies, not as previously alluded to The Iron Maidens.

Off top of my head we've played with at least three: Noasis, Oasish, and Definitely Oasis. My favourite part of doing tribute festivals is checking out band names tbh: laziest was a tie between The Killerz and Antarctic Monkeys and my favourite was probably Illegal Eagles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
