Have you ever gone to see a tribute band? How did that make you feel? If you haven't seen one, would you like to? If the answer is no, what if it was a free show? If the answer is still no, what would it take?

I’ve only ever seen tribute bands accidentally - like by going into a pub and they’re there already playing. Bands in pubs tend to be ear splittingly loud, so unless you’ve gone specifically to see the band, it makes any form of conversation almost impossible. So unless they’re really really good, it’s not a welcome addition to my night out. Also, tribute bands tend to be of mainstream rock/pop bands from the 70s/80s - not my cup of tea. I had the misfortune to catch an AC/DC tribute band in a pub once. It was free. Only because, if they’d charged actually money for the experience they could’ve been arrested under The Trades Descriptions Act.
I am feeling uneasy to listen to a band that tries to be a copy of what is gone. Though I feel that some cover songs are much better than the original but not with tribute bands. So I lack motivation to see them live.
I've never gone to see any band, and I never want to. There's only one tribute band I like any songs by (and it's the only one I even know of), Madhouse (a Madonna tribute band). I wouldn't go even if it were free, because it would be a lot of trouble, the music would be too loud and bad for my ears, and live music is always way, WAY worse than the album versions. If I were for some reason paid to go to a Madhouse concert and they were in town, sure (if the pay were like $2000), or maybe if a girl were involved..
