The ultimate Beatles tribute line up

Post by blazer »

Okay suppose if you could put together a Beatles tribute band from the members of well known Beatles tribute bands who would you use?

I'd start with the "John" from the "Cavern Beatles", this guy NAILS Lennon's voice.

Then I'd take the "Paul" from the "Fab Four"

Then I'd take the "Ringo" from "Yesterday" who sounds like the real Ringo.

As for "George"that's difficult. So guys help me out, let's put together the ultimate Beatles Tribute band.

You do know "Paul" is right handed but learned left handed bass for the gig?
Their George looks nothing like him.

Do you think "John" has enough reverb? Sheesh!

I played the "John" clip like five times...amazing. Anybody else notice in the "Paul" clip that their George looks like James Taylor wearing Van Halen pants???

Wouter, as for a George recommendation? Es tut mir leid!

Paul in the last clip sounds not even remotely like Macca. And the John in that band looks too tall, even from a mile away.
This is off the record

yea, that John guy is pretty damned good.

I'd recommend me for the George part but my guitar playing isn't good enough and my singing sucks so I'd get boo'd off the stage after about 10 seconds, and that wouldn't be any fun at all.

I was really impressed by the Cavern Club John, and also the Sgt. Pepper Ringo. NO doubt about it, George is a tough one to find.

I really like "John" from the Cavern Beatles--I like his solo renditions of Baby it's You and In My Life found on Youtube. Several others are good, but none strike me as great.

You're right about Fab Four Paul. The man sounds exactly like Macca (at least to me) and he's playing and singing Day Tripper. That song is hard to do RIGHT HANDED and yet he learned it the other way around. I bow to this man.

Oh, yeah.. he's got the MMT painted Rick.

Hopefully one of you experienced guys can help me. Whenever I go to the MY TUBE page, I can't get any audio. It is not my computer. It's just this address. I get all the video etc. but no sound. Any help?

Which browser do you use? The first thing I would try, is update your java and flash players. And, if that doen't fix it, then try a different browser.

That should do it.

"George" AND "John"from the tribute band "Rain" would be great choices. Sorry I don't have any video to share....
