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 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 seen quite a few. Some have been better than others, but were always an enjoyable night out.

Years ago? I guess you could call them a Beatles tribute band, the Fab Faux, I didn't feel any kind of way about it, they were fine I'd go see such a band again if the venue were small/quiet enough

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..

Logically complex question. No. No. Depends, if it's a good band playing good music and they're surrounded by good people then yes.
