Tribute Bands

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

With so many of the great rock groups having disbanded, got past it or in some cases passed on, fans can still enjoy tribute bands.

Some are fantastic, anyone seen any they would recommend?

Heres one for Hendrix fans, check out John Campbell's group Are You Experienced, absolutely brilliant!

The Hamsters for Hendrix, Think Floyd and Legend for Bob Marley are the best tributes we've seen.

We're going to see Twin Lizzy at the weekend.

Heard good things and the guy who portrays Phil Lynott appears in at least two Lizzy bands, so must be good.
