What's your opinion on tribute/cover bands?
I'm really into The Doors, and I'm 15 years old.
Obviously it would be impossible for me to have a chance to see them live. Back in October, i saw Ray and Robby (keyboardist and guitarist of The Doors) live with a different drummer and a different singer, and i enjoyed the show just as well. Even though Jim wasn't there, and it wasn't 1969, i sang every song and felt the powerful lyrics give me chills. I miss that feeling. There's this band called "Wild Child", a tribute band for The Doors, that's playing in Hollywood in a few weeks. I would like to see them...but i don't want to end up with regret when i'm there.
What's your opinion on tribute bands in general?
And to fans of The Doors, do you think these guys would be worth seeing?

A GOOD tribute or cover band knows how to deliver the show like the originals, not just sing the songs. They're probably on the net, so check out their vids. It's almost always better live, so I'd say go for it! Tribute bands are usually a lot of fun.

I only know 2 songs by them (Come Out & Play, Pretty Fly For A White Guy) and didn't consider either song as being great. I was cruising Best Buy the other day and noticed they had a new cd. Which was news to me, not that I planned on buying it. I thought The Offspring fell off the face of the earth years ago. Kind of considered them a 2 hit wonder and thats about it.

I think that if they do it tastefully and respectfully without trying to make themselves look good then its cool. If they do it just to get people to listen to them, then its no good.

Well, I've yet to see a tribute band ever pull off the sound or the atmosphere the way the original band does it, but as long as the band isn't horrible, it's better than nothing...
