Bands that have splits and use the same name for both bands is not only confusing, but stupid. LA Guns, Great White, now Ryche. Out of all of them, the Great White story is the most mind numbing to me. Jack Russell has had issues with addiction for a long time. His bandmates stuck by him and let him...

Guns N' Roses?

Bump. Still taking auditions.

Hair Force One seeks experienced, solid rhythm guitarist. Potential candidates must have pro gear and attitude. No drugs please. We have practice space and a secure place to house your gear. Backing vocals a huge plus. Any other instrumental experience (keys, etc.) a plus, but not required. Band cur...

I think they could have easily put Images and Words in there too. Dream Theater is totally unreal.

Okay, so here's my opinion. Whatever you play is fine by me. I may not care for it. Like Rob said, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. As for tribute bands... if they are digging it and the crowd is digging it then go for it! Whether they dress up or not doesn't matter to me. If it gets the b...

There you go, Fiery. It's not that we're stupid, it's that we've been here awhile. As for the Vanna comment, it really must have steamed your veggies. i seldom backtrack in the silly threads like this one, but I seem to remember it being aimed at someone other than yourself. Unless said people are ...

And keep that humbleness going

"This thread will kill ya ta death inside of 3 rounds!"

That's from Rocky IV!

Bobby! You mean to tell me you're the one snatching up all the gigs in every bar, club, VFW, Moose, Eagles, Royal Order of Water Buffalos, or arena in the state?

YOU DICK!

Just wanted to thank Greg for the kudos. And Greg speaks 100% truth when it comes to HF1. It took he and I months to pave the road for the band to even happen. But I knew that I had one of the most proficient guitarists in the state with me and I was not letting that go. Then when we got Hugh, Micha...

That's cool Trace. To each his/her own as you said. I'm fairly certain none of us lowly, subpar, karaoke bands will shed much of a tear if you don't pay the door fee.

The people that do a band specific tribute may not be an artist in your eyes, but it is in its own way. Those people take a lot of time and money to recreate what they look like, sound like, or even what instruments they play. I guess it really comes down to those that are doing it or have done it a...

I took some time to think about what I had posted before and realized that I was also being unfair in what I said before, so I will just edit my previous post and say this: The people that are in tribute bands work very hard to make their respective bands as good as they can be. It is a lot of time ...

Not sure if I should answer to this thread, since I'm in a tribute band.

I use most of them regularly. Salt water and tea I usually reserve for when I'm singing multiple nights, but the rest I do pretty religiously.

One of the best tips I'd give any singer is to make sure you're as rested as possible pre-show. Absolutely NO dairy products the day of a show. Dairy builds mucus in your throat, which irritates your throat lining and gives you that "swollen" feeling. I also try not to speak a lot through...

I use one and the instructions clearly say to only use bottled or purified water. Somebody didn't read the directions.

Seeing as HF1 was and is still my first gigging band I've ever been in, I can without doubt say that everyone that has contributed to the project over the years has influenced me in some way shape or form. The original lineup (Jimi, Michael J., Hugh, and Iva) especially. However, even the folks who ...

That Tommi Gunn pic is where it's at. Bassist looks like Duff from GnR.

"Rock of Ages" Def Leppard haha - I still laugh when I hear the beginning of that. All these years and I still have no idea what he is saying ... It is loosely translated from Dutch NOT GERMAN - Running through the woods freely...something to that nature. Sorry I'm late to the party on th...

I wanna know who that band Alestorm is and if it's fronted by a girl named Lizzy Ale I checked them out and listened to some of their stuff. They seem to be viking metal and have a song called Captan Morgan's Revenge. *lol* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alestorm Yay, just what the world needs, more ...
