Tribute bands are carrying the Rock N' Roll torch!

With all the great legendary bands getting older, retiring and some no longer touring, tribute bands are marching on while proudly waving the Rock N' Roll flag. Although I've seen Van Halen six times now, I never saw them at their peak with their original line up. Led Zeppelin had also broken up and I was too young with no one to take me. These bands are here to fill in the void, help us relive the glory of true Rock N' Roll and are the next best thing to experiencing these bands in their prime.

The Atomic Punks. Paying tribute to the David Lee Roth Era of Van Halen. This band doesn't just play Van Halen, but they do it with the raw and immense power that it deserves. Van Halen was a high energy band that even at their worst would devastate any other band on the planet. Lead singer Brian Geller looks and sounds great as Roth and guitarist Lance Turner defintely has Eddie Van Halen's arsenal in his back pocket. Bassist Joe Lester definietly holds down the fort and adds great background vocals. Drummer Scott Patterson is defintely one of the finest drummers I've ever seen and it's his playing that ties it all together. I've seen other bands cover VH and the guitarist has never been good enough. Let me tell you, these guys can pull it off! This band has had a great history with Van Halen as well. They've practically been endorsed by the original band. Michael Anthony has played with them, David Lee Roth vocally said they're great, has toured with one of their guitarists and they've been mentioned and praised by Howard Stern as well. If your a hardcore VH fan like I am, this is the tribute band to see. You can visit their website here: http://www.theatomicpunks.com/
