Doesn't mean I should support some people playing out their rock star fantasies by milking money off of a far more talented and successfull band.

what an absolute pile of shite that is. have you ever been to see any tribute band in any form and if you have, then you are a hypocrite. I can say from personal experience of having played in another tribute band (Skint Lizzy) that we are not "playing out our rock star fantasies" as you put it. I did it (and still do) to try and get a different style into my playing. Aren't tribute bands in fact "paying tribute" to bands that people enjoy - hence the name? Also, isn't everyone in an original material band "playing out a rock (or insert alternative genre here) star fantasy? Or is "for the music"? OK, so it's £6, woop dee doo. If you dont want to pay, dont bother going. Simple as that. Now stop posting crap.
