Tribute bands suck, of course. Most of them just make terrible covers of the enire band's music. What is their point? To kiss their favorite band's ass? They try to get the people in the crowd to buy the original band's work, but at the same time, they are doing horrible covers of the original songs, driving those people away from the original band. But, this is only some to most of the time. I really find that tribute bands are useless. It's a total waste of talent. It's better to just make an original band... IMO.
