Tribute Bands: Appearance

[aborgman]

Nope, we have our own following. Nobody I know of is confused as to whether we are the real band or not. People have seen us 20 or 30 times. Wear our t-shirts. Post on our page. We might be playing someone elses' music (and frankly most of you guys do too..even if you are original), but people like our stage show and the music.

Don't get me wrong - I play in a cover band.... but I understand the people are fans of the music, not the band.

..and any folks who are actually fans of a tribute band (in the true sense of the term fan) are way creepier than anything.

I think it's creepier to be out there and play crap that no one wants to hear. Playing in front of 10 people in some skanky bar?
and pretend that ANYTHING you are doing is remotely "original" when in fact everything in rock is a derivative or direct rip-off of something that's already been done? And pretend that you're so good that you're going to be BIG BIG STARS?

That sort of delusion to me is "creepy".

Oh, I'd agree... the music business is just chock full of creepy folks who are completely delusional.

I didn't mean creepy in a bad way. I know a lot of these acts do pretty well. I guess what makes it so creepy is the dudes who take themselves so seriously. And extra creepyness from the fans who try to act like they are the real deal too. It's just such a creepy scene to me.

But absolutely NO DISRESPECT INTENDED. I am all for folks making bank doing whatever has to be done. It ain't any stranger than a drag show. And those queens make a fortune!!

Ladies and Gentlemen Rod Stewart … errr I mean Rob Caudill

I remember him from the old days as a bass player

Check out the video ...


Rod Stewart Tribute Show with full costumes and Rod Stewart Tribute Band People stop Rob Caudill in airports for autographs. They stare at him in restaurants. And when he struts on stage, people scream themselves hoarse. Why? Caudill is a dead-on Rod Stewart Impersonator. With spiky blonde hair and leopard skin coat, this singer has carved out a career recreating Rod Stewart. From kicking out soccer balls and spinning mic stands in his high energy show to belting out all of Rod's greatest hits, it's a must-see show for all ages. From the age of seventeen people always told Rob he looked like Rod Stewart. Rob began his musical career after graduating high school. He then moved to Memphis, TN to study music at Memphis State University and began playing bass for local bands around town. This one time session musician and bass player for a band called the Breaks got his first real break when they signed to RCA Records. The Breaks' first single, She Wants You, was played in heavy rotation on music television which caught the attention of Bugle Boy Clothing, who used the Breaks for their first commercial on MTV. Later, Rob began doing session work with Joe Walsh of the Eagles and jammed with many others such as John Entwhistle of the Who, along with members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Red Hot Chili Peppers just to name a few. In 1996, he couldn't seem to escape the remarkable natural resemblance to Rod Stewart so he heeded the advice of Joe Walsh and began his tribute career.

Close, but no cigar. He's got the looks, but his voice is off, and the moves are WAY off. He should have worked with a dance instructor to get Rod's moves down better.
