Im going to watch this Stones tribute band on Thursday. Has anyone here seen them live? I think they have played in America and other parts of Europe
Saw them on tv ages ago and thought they were quite funny

they are quite good, is it a sit down theatre gig or stand up club type gig ? but the VERY best tribute band ever is''the rolling stoned'', they are a must see, look them up on net, and catch there next gig, they work most weekends,and i promise you will not be disapointed, they look the same, sound the same. absolutley brilliant and unmisable ! enjoy the 'counterfeit stones' but next time go see 'rolin stoned'. |

Hi Oska,
I am really looking forward to this concert. The last tribute band i saw was a Who band. They were great. Saw them in a pub. I think these bands are best appreciated when the drink is flowing.
I will check this band out. Any Stones tribute band is good in my book

I presume you are in London or England for that matter
I used to live in London from 95 to 97 and i caught the "conterfiet stones" twice
they are quite good compared to some stones tribute bands |

TRIBUTE BANDS!!!!!!!!!! these guys are always BEST SEEN...through the sights of an M16. I don't care how good they are, they need to stop cashing in on established performers triumphs. Covers are one thing, but clones are quite something else. |

Well i must say, they were fantastic! The show was really funny and there was a lot of comedy in between the three sections. The Jones section, Taylor section and the Wood section. There was absoloutley nothing to bitch about this show. The guy who played Brian was also Taylor and Ronnie. There was a hilarious bit when before they came on stage with Taylor they showed them auditioning Brians replacment. They turned down George Harrison! I can't really explain it. But it was so so funny. 23 songs too!

....Listen Oska! you're the one with the Ambian fixation, not me. If you dig tribute bands that's up to you, I don't give a monkey's what you think is great, I simply think they're a bore,(just my thoughts.)....It's an M16, not an mi6, which is a wing of British intelligence....I sincerly hope this was the polite, informed,(pots & kettles),and unbiased reply you were awaiting, if not; TOUGH SHIT! |

I'm not crazy about tribute bands either, but as long as they're above board about it thats one thing. The guys that I have a problem with are the ones who get a bands name by some legal technicality and try passing themselves off as the original group. |

Hey man you had a great time! Nice setlist and nice band! Just one question why the "eras" are not real? I'm sure it's impossible for a cover band to have those mistakes:
14 Sympathy For The Devil and 19 Jumpin' Jack Flash are from the Brian era, not from the Mick Taylor era
15 Gimmie Shelter and 16 Midnight Rambler are from the transition era (the album "Let it Bleed" has some Brian and some Taylor, but in these couple of tracks none of them is playing
21 Honky Tonk Woman this is also from the transition era, and it was Mick Taylor studio debut, not Ronnie's
Maybe because of the style? Technique? |

Ohh, i dont know Gerardo. I guess things would get a little complicated if they were to do everything by the book.
As far as sticking HTM and JJF in the Ronnie era, well i guess that people are more familiar with seeing Ronnie playing these with the Stones rather then Brian or Mick Taylor.
Anyway, it was fantastic and im going to see them again on April 4th. They mix up theyre setlists, so i will post another review then

Yeah, but that should have been relatively easy to get right. But I suppose it probably doesn't matter all that much. |

You are right - it doesn't matter. They don't care - the audience doesn't know and i couldn't give a damn whether they put JJF in the Brian or Ronnie era.
The Counterfeit Stones were perfect |
