Just adding ‘UK’ to the original band name is cheating surely? At least come up with a weak pun.

Quite disappointed in the Megadeth one, tbh. Think what they could have had!

I saw a band years ago called Gabba. They did Abba songs Ramones style. The singer was as tall as Joey too.

Is that an actual band? I made that pun when we were looking to book a Bon Jovi tribute band for my friend’s wedding.

For what it’s worth, the UK’s premier tribute act appear to be Non Jovi…

Well, I’m not actually sure. They were an act of legend in our circle of friends about 20 years ago, but I don’t know whether they actually existed or not. In fact, the legend went that they were actually a sexually ambiguous tribute act called Bi Jovi, which is double punnage and even better.

I liked to imagine them as a dapper 1920s take on the power ballad. A bit like these guys do for 80s tracks…

The Reet Hot Chili Peppers are a North East-based tribute to Flea and the lads

Enjoying this thread a lot!

There’s a Nirvana/Elvis tribute act called Elvana… no idea how that works.

Interstingly, there was a band called this once.

http://www.theskinny.co.uk/music/interviews/q-without-u

I reviewed their album for God is in the TV. They were aware of their band name.

“Our name actually came from a line in The Simpsons. When Ned Flanders’ wife, Maude, had just died, Marge asked him how he was, to which he replied, ‘Oh Marge, I’m like a Q without a U’, which I thought was a cool name for a band. Little did I know it would nearly get us sued by the DIY bastions of the free world. They sent us a letter threatening to sue us if we didn’t change our name a few years back, which we promptly ignored. Fuck 'em, we’re keeping it!”"

The article then says
"With an attitude like that and their clear independent spirit, Q without U are sure to go from strength to strength on their own terms."

LOL.

This has left me feeling confused, then disappointed and then angry.

There’s a Huddersfield based SOAD tribute called Thomas The Serj Tankian Engine. They played with an Offspring covers band a few months back:
