an excellent way to learn is to buy a few old aphrodite records cos they are all at the same speed with pretty much the same beat and you get a lot of confidence from fucking about with them

Don't want to play out DnB though

 

[Pieface]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

And me. I tried it with two copies of the same fucking tune and still couldn't get it.

Try something good - I don't think second rate prog rock bands quite cut it when it comes to rocking a dancefloor

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I find it impossible to tell whether the tune that's coming in is either a teeny bit faster or just a teeny bit slower

This is why learning with two of the same tune is not the way to do it - you need something that's easy to pick out in each tune...

it's just good practice tho, like a starter pack or summat

My little brother tried to teach me to beatmatch, once.

Farcical. Huh? Wha? Eh?

That method is lost on some people if you remember!

Get DJ Traktor and dick about, fuck, even I had moments of sheer genius with it.

 

[Firky]

Nah, beatmatching is a piece of piss...

Nah it aint.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Nah it aint.

Yeah it is

 

[kakuma]

it's like the force or summat, you gotta feel it flow through you

Keane started out as an Oasis tribute band, of course it wasn't till their debut album, 2004's 'Hopes and Fears', that the public school rockers started to really express themselves creatively, in their words to do "something innovative, something really different"

Keane started out as an Oasis tribute band

And let's not forget that Oasis are still a Beatles tribute band...

Why can't people try and make new music?
It's a sad state of affairs if you can only get pleasure from people doing crappy cover version of other people's music from over 20 years ago.

Dear oh dear!! Interestingly the radio program places Kurt Cobain at the centre of the legitimation of the Tribute Band industry in the early 90s - as a great fan of 'Bjorn Again', Kurt managed to get them a gig at Reading and Nirvana enthustically danced along to the show..

Fantastic stuff!! We love you Kurt!

Yeah! Don't you just hate those classical guys covering Mozart and the like.

 

[cesare]

You're no one until you have a tribute band.

Covered bowie's the man who sold the world, and what a cover!

OU is a real clown, never thinks before opening his trap

That's a lot different to rock n roll - there's a lot of room for interpretation with an 80 piece orchestra.
Banging out carbon copies of old Nirvana songs in The Swan is a far cry from it.

..famaliarise yourself with the Tribute band scene and you soon see the difference between a good and a bad one.. Anyway its not just an interpretation but also a celebration of the great music and songs and performance of the bands..

 

[Orang Utan]

But why would I want to do that? I have trouble keeping up with new music as it is

 

[LDR]

Well he is one of the most fun guys I know to drink with, but I don't think that makes him a clown.

Oh I'm a clown alright

Muser is a ringmaster though, to be fair.

 

[LDR]

Do you do childrens parties? The tribute to the Tweenies pulled out.

 

[Hollis]

But why would I want to do that? I have trouble keeping up with new music as it is

So you never listen to your old CDs?

Its good to treat yourself.. listen to great songs being blasted out from a Marshall stack.. Oh Yes!! The best..

Get to work boy, I don't pay you to sit around yakking.

What he says ^^
What's the point?
If a band no longer exists a tribute band is not going to be able to recreate them, their music is likely to be recorded somewhere (certainly if they're renowned enough to merit tributing), so why not just enjoy it?

I think the proliferation of tribute acts is utterly utterly tragic
They are simply a complete waste of time.
Toss.

Vinyl simply cannot recreate the live performance element/sound of the band.. A good tribute band can.
