Hey guys!

Anyone catching the G'NR tribute tomorrow night (sat) at  BB King's club in New York.  The group's name is Mr. Brownstone and I think they are truly incredible.  I think tickets are 12 dollars advance, 15 at the club box office.  This is going to be a sweet show, apparently the Van Halen Tribute Band (UNCHAINED) will be a special guest.  COME OUT AND SUPPORT OUR BELOVED MUSIC - SAT. NIGHT, 11 PM - BB KINGS www.bbkingblues.com

Most GNR fans dont care about cover bands. I'll save my 15 bucks for the purchase of CD.

SO i saw on this website that the GnR tribute band was playing at BB Kings last night in nyc. I figured id go and check it out.

some random, quick thoughts:

- the place is very cool, great lighting, pretty good sound system

- a Van Halen tribute band opened the show around midnight, they were actually pretty good. the singer sounded alot like david lee roth. the guitarist was a good player, but kinda chunky and didnt look much like EVH.

- then the GnR band came out. it was totally, tottally pathetic. i wanted to leave after the first song, nightrain. the singer was terrible. i mean terrible. he sang either deep n low or TRIED to wail in a falsetto voice, it was terrible!!!! he tried swayi0ng around like axl, but that looked bad, and he had no confidence (i think he knew he and they sucked)

- the person playing slash was pretty good, moved n looked like him.

- izzy u could not even hear, the keyboards were off AND too loud.

- "axl" butchered so many lyrics, fucked up SO many times!!! i looked around and caught one guy's eyes and we were both like, wow, this sucks. they didnt start until about 1am or later, and it was NOT worth it.

- they did, however, play Get In The Ring. which alot of the 20yr old NYU wanna-be's had no idea of.

- then the four of us got our alcohol bill: $200 for a few drinks.


** it proved one thing though, GnR is still the most under-exposed band and people are dying for ANYTHING relating to GnR!!

you'll end up saving a lot of bucks if you save the money you could spend seeing GN'R coverbands, you can buy a whole collection of CD copies!
