Best tribute act names

[Beedster]

Another thread reminded me of the sheer joy of the well designed tribute band name (in that case Credence Clearwater Revival Revival). Let's have your favourites, and if you haven't got a favourite, make one up

Maybe it's time to pay tribute to tribute bands..? I'd start with the Credence Clearwater Revival Revival Revival. Then maybe in a few year's time, it'll be OK to pay tribute to the tribute to tribute bands, with ...

We played with...., Children Of The Gravy, a couple of times.

Don't think I really need to say they're a Sabbath tribute.

They're actually very good, we played with a few and COTG were the only ones that didn't bill themselves as, 'The UK's foremost/finest/best/premier Sabbath tribute'. And they were all the better for not making that claim as they wiped the floor with all the others.

I was more impressed with "No Way Sis" than the band they were imitating...

Id like to form a tribute band called Das Schmitt’s doing smiths covers in German, but sounding more like Laibach.

My band was on the same bill as Flash Harry. A very fine Queen tribute. 
And I knew The Beagles. 

Slightly off topic a solo act I saw one evening singing to backing tracks,  was being Neil Diamond quite well. And in the second half, with a different wig, he was being Tom Jones. 

[Steve Browning]

My favourite has always been Bye Jovi.

[tegs07]

Did the Strolling Bones exist?

[Elfrasho]

Non Jovi 

[Lord Sausage]

I saw Fred Zeppelin play in Scarborough!

[StickyDBRmf]

Not The Hoople?

This might be fun...

No.

There’s a few bands that play in a local pub called 

Scam 69 and Deeper Purple 

[bagsieblue]

Pearl Scam is my favourite!!

Prestwich have an annual Tribute Band Festival - always some good names on these:

 

[TrevorR]

There used to be a Queen cover band called “Magic - A Kind Of Queen”, which I always thought was rather clever.

Also saw Queen B at a festival once.

By Jovi is probably my all time fave, though.

Aye we are there this year, we do all these.

I seem to recall there was an Irish rapper who went out under the name Duff Paddy! That one still makes me chuckle!

[Nail Soup]

I once won a “who can think of the best tribute band name” chat with some band mates (long time ago when tribs were much rarer) with.....
