Just kind of in response to my Tribute Band thread, where someone was confused as to why I would consider these guys as a tribute band... Well they have said in interviews that their live shows are 1978 - 1983 Whitesnake material with one Thunder song and one new Laurie Wisefield composition, so in my mind that makes them kind of like a tribute band. So, thinking about this, and thinking of the combined history of the band members (Whitesnake, Thunder, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Wishbone Ash, Tina Turner, Heartland & Virgina Wolf among others), what would you compile as an ideal setlist for a live performance by the band going forward to make them less of a Whitesnake tribute show? I'm still thinking of mine, but i'd love to hear Chris Ousey sing Love Walked In and maybe a Tina Turner song (either a rocked up We Don't Need Another Hero or a bluesy I Can't Stand The Rain...) It would also be nice to hear some Heartland make an appearance alongside the usual Whitesnake fare, and maybe something by The Snakes or Company Of Snakes, who's own material never really got performed live...

To answer your original question I would love to see them do Wishbone Ash's Living Proof which Laurie wrote and has some of his best solos, but I may be in a very small minority!]]> Andy (London) NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 10:45:06 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924415,924472#msg-924472 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924415,924472#msg-924472 Paul.Firebrand NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 10:09:57 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924415,924470#msg-924470 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924415,924470#msg-924470Niv]]> nivjourney NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 09:53:38 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924415,924464#msg-924464 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924415,924464#msg-924464 Terry K.

Neil was in Gary's band for Corridors Of Power and Victims Of The Future.
Thunder, they have a founding member, Whitesnake likewise.
But I think with a name like Snakecharmer and playing a set that is entirely Whitesnake aside from 2 songs, they are really nothing more than a very good tribute show surely?
