There are plenty of threads on here about tribute bands, but let us focus on that most underappreciated element of the phenomenon, the photos. Do they attempt to look like the source band? Do they strike similar poses? Do they have any self-respect at all?
I begin with Under a Blood Red Sky, who unwisely spammed me just now:

God can you imagine what a tremendous pain in the arse being 'The Edge' in a (latter-day) U2 tribute band must be, all those post modernist effects pedals to buy then all you are reguired to do is dribble through them.
