As my band were regular attendees (and occasionally performers) to the Monday evening jam sessions at the Plymouth Cooperage down by the Barbican, we tended to become aware quite quickly of up and coming performances. For the most part, this involved tribute acts and during the first year at Plymouth we saw this GNR tribute band who happened to feature “Gary Crowley” as Axl Rose who had apparently performed on Star in their Eyes. I think that was supposed to be some sort of claim to fame.
Anyway, they were okay. They looked vaguely the part, except that Slash looked a little more like Joe Perry with a wig and the guy playing Izzy was actually a better guitarist. They at least arrived on time and didn’t start a riot or take two hours between songs, which immediately placed them above the real GNR for reliability.
