I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
I appreciate the talent and the effort, and I know that there are thousands of people who love tribute bands, but I feel embarrassed for them (the bands). I don't know why, and I don't mean to be disrepectful, but that's how I feel. Besides, I didn´t know "pathetic" was such a strong word. At least in my language it isn't, so again, sorry!
I've been also thinking that this could be a matter of level of "fandom". Many, many Queen fans have all the cds, all the dvds, bootlegs, collect magazines, go to conventions, have autographs, buy the books, know every little detail about their lives, etc, and enjoy tribute bands. I just love Queen's music, I think they're the greatest band ever, but that's it. Nothing else matters to me.
The Johnny Depp thing was funny :)
