One thought about tribute bands.
Seems so many are quick to claim BEST or GREATEST or MOST AUTHENTIC U2 tribute.
I get that U2 (as Bono has said) have a Band-Ego. They have a deep belief what U2 can be. I think that is cool.
But tribute bands of any band... claiming in all of their adverts to be the BEST or GREATEST or MOST AUTHENTIC tribute... Whether it's a U2 tribure or an INXS, Led Zeppelin, Beatles... whatever tribute... It's arrogant at best and false advertising at worst.
I saw a no-U2 tribute. I won't mention names. But never the less, they went with the worlds greatest tag. They weren't. The were decent but hardly the greatest.
Just seems if you love a band and make a tribute - great. But when you start injecting ego into it, it seems like one might be doing it for the wrong reasons.
Just my thought on the "Best", "Greatest" and "Most Authentic" tags that some tributes attach themselves.
To be clear, I'm not attacking any U2 or other tribute. I'm merely stating my view on some of the perceived arrogance.
