tauzero Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 One of the pioneers of tribute was Bjorn Again. T. Rextasy are pretty successful. Another I've encountered (but never seen) is Alike Cooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) 'Pearl Glam' I want to start a band doing Pearl Jams songs in a glam rock style . As Haircut 100 have been mentioned, our drummer was asked by Nick Hayward to be H100s drummer when they were on the up, he turned it down as, in his own words, "they were sh*t" Edited July 18, 2013 by Maude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
