Feedback spoke to the tributes inspired by <strong><em>Green Day, Arctic Monkeys<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Kings of Leon <\/em><\/strong>to find out a little more about how playing in a tribute band works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard of tributes is not to be sniffed at. There is no doubt about the talent of these groups. From the Jam actually has two members that were in the original Woking band and the Bootleg Beatles have played over 4000 times over their years replicating the fab four.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does one go about becoming a tribute artist? How does the skill set differ from normal gigging? Well, it is different for everybody. But here is what happened to <strong><em>Ultimate Green Day, Antarctic Monkeys<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Kings of Lyon<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ultimate Green Day\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Leigh Bucknall of Ultimate Green Day, the tribute scene has been the bulk of his music career for the vast majority of his adult life. Replicating the American trio has been the goal of the band since they were teenagers. \u201cThe 3 of us met through a mutual love of Green Day back when we were 14\/15 years old. We have played in original bands together and always played Green Day songs together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think you can tell by our performances that we have all played these songs for almost 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it is not even Leigh\u2019s first Green Day tribute band. \u201cI joined a tribute called Green Bay back in 2007 on 2nd Guitar. And Dan joined Green Date on bass back in 2017. Since both tributes folded it made sense for us to just take it on, be the best and have a load of fun with it. And now we&#8217;re playing our favourite songs to sold out clubs and festivals across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a man with experience in the field, he needed to be tested with a more difficult question. At what point does a band deserve to get its own tribute band?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe obvious bands to be a tribute to are ones like <strong><em>The Beatles<\/em><\/strong> and<strong><em> Queen, ABBA<\/em><\/strong> etc. Just like the originals, great tribute acts stand the test of time and as long as there is demand for it people will keep dooming it. You can&#8217;t go anywhere without hearing or seeing those kinds of bands. It&#8217;s great nowadays that tributes are around for every kind of band, making it accessible to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Antarctic Monkeys\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Antarctic Monkeys have a fascinating origin story. The rapid changes in style that Arctic Monkeys seem to go through from album to album has left a large section of fans of the Sheffield band desperate to see a return to the power chords and classic indie sound that the group adopted in their first album: Whatever people say I am, that is what I\u2019m not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly where Antarctic Monkey\u2019s come in. \u201cWe used to exist really because we were doing the first album, and as soon as everyone moved away from that, we were still playing songs like <em>Mardy Bum<\/em> that the Monkeys wouldn\u2019t play anymore.\u201d Ian Flethcer, lead guitarist explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think none of us pretend to be from Sheffield, none of us pretend to be anything other than working class lads who kind of fell into this. We\u2019re in there with a kind of love for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is with the greatest of respect that we play. We are proper fans. When we play the songs they feel like our own because we\u2019ve done it for so long. There\u2019s a real honesty to it and I think that comes across. It\u2019s Mecca for an Arctic Monkeys fan to go to Sheffield and be in an Arctic Monkeys tribute band.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"492\" data-id=\"1751\" data-src=\"https:\/\/feedbackmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-18.06.58.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1751 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/feedbackmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-18.06.58.png 728w, https:\/\/feedbackmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-18.06.58-480x324.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 728px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 728px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 728\/492;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Antarctic Monkeys in performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kings of Lyon\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian Dawson is the frontman of Kings of Lyon.
