Have a day off, will you!

I'm glad to see there's a Metadeth in existence

Edit: less pleased to see it's a Metallica-Megadeth tribute. I had been thinking of it as just a meta-Megadeth

Have there been many other acts which play one band's music in another band style? Depeche Mode played à la Madness would be a fun live experience.

There’s a chap - Laszlo Buring - who’s done several YouTube clips in this vein, my favourite is Layla, played as if written by Dire Straits.

They weren't a tribute band but I always liked Frankie Goes To Holyhead. 

I think that was Paddy Goes To Holyhead.   Former members ( and long gone now )  were Andy Scott  and Mick Tucker from Sweet.  I saw them live in the 90's ( IIRC )

I had to think for a minute... and then the penny dropped. 😁

Is that a contender for your new band name?

Use to play with a Ska band  who were  all Motor mechanics, we called ourselves  Bad Spanners.

[Delberthot]

There was a band on the go for years called Hugh Reid and the Velvet Underpants.

I used to play in a Sabbath Tribute band called Mac Sabbath but the name that always made me laugh was Slack Babbath.
