8. I'd have to use some dye first...
Would a wig work?

The keyboard guy... forget his name... he comes out to the front of the stage during a drum or guitar solo (this was a long time ago)... and starts dancing and doing backflips and stuff... now *that's* entertainment!

10. Dread Zeppelin ROCKED!
the "Heartbreak Hotel/Heartbreaker" medley is one of the all time greats, IMHO. That's not something that comes naturally!

14. I was in a band that played a reggae "Stairway to Heaven"
a few years before I'd ever heard of Dread Zeppelin. Their version was better than ours, needless to say.

However, we did have a kickass happy-feet disco version of "Rock And Roll". I warbled it in a tortured falsetto, just like Planty did. It was a riot! :dunce:

7. They are good, BUT "The Boogiemen" give them a run for their money!

They are their own opening act - "Band X". TONS of fun!

9. Where is the love for AC/DShe?
the all-female AC/DC cover, um, I mean "tribute band", playing exclusively Bon Scott-era AC/DC?

Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 07:50 PM by FrankBooth
another all-female AC/DC cover band, and they were really, really good. The did play some of the Brian Johnson era stuff however.

16. Sounds like an awesome twin bill
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 08:20 PM by KamaAina
but who opens for whom?

edit: And why so many female AC/DC bands? Does it have to do with the name "AC/DC"? Or with the high falsetto vocals?

13. they are great
Gary is one of the best guitarists in the country. He and Carl have been friends of my daughter Diana for years. Grew up in the same town. Sorry I don't know their stage names. They are the 2 bottom pix. Anyway, they are fun to watch.
