Official 4/29 St. Louis Meetup/Review Thread

[TJMKID]

I've seen a lot of VH tribute bands on YouTube and it only reinforces how very hard it is to replicate the magic of The Diamond One ---- they all seem like cheap copies to me ---- it takes more than a ripped physique and blond hair to deliver that unique brand of authentic fury!

This is a better sampling.... not to totally derail this thread, but I'm bored just waiting for tweets!!

I just looked at the Links and it doesn't look like there will be any real-time updates there either. In any event let's hope for another great show.

Here ya go - they've got tons of stuff on youtube.

Fake Dave looks like someone you'd see on WWE Raw.... Drummer looks like he should be in a Cheap Trick tribute band.

Now that's a great tribute - I could close my eyes with a slight buzz and probably forget that it's not Dave. Aren't they out west somewhere?

Ralph, the singer, and Russ, the guitar player, are the two best at doin' Dave and Ed. They still do some VH songs in their Steel Panther shows. Don't even bother to look up any of the Punks' current videos - the new singer sucks.

This dude nails the Dave screams pretty well ---- but he looks kinda flabby ---- chubby thighs and "triceps jiggle" LOL

I think the Army is feeling this way too!!!

I agree - still a fun night out drinking and dancing to my favorite music. I think that's why it was harder for me to get into it this time - having seen the real deal last month, it's hard to have to settle for nipple ring. But beer helped!

Those are the Steel Panther dudes. I believe they are still around with a new Dave and Eddie. West coast mostly.. This singer here did a tour with L.A. Guns in the late 90's. My band Midline opened for the show in Boise.

Once again - I am impressed! You guys opened for everyone!

Here they are.

Hopefully we will be able to get some good info off of twitter, and I Slaughter Man said he'd do updates...

Did the show start yet??

always one of my fave DLR quotes....
