Musicians in touring tribute bands.
Discussion
I went to see the Meat Loaf story the other week. It was bloody good.
The whole band was excellent. What I was wondering is when the main man, Steve Steinman, or the boss of the Illegal Eagles puts the band together for a 6-9 month tour, how many people in this country would be good enough to play that stuff. After all, the show is only as good as the musicians. Do they get paid enough to have a really good life, scrape by, or just starve?
The saxophonist who plays with the Billy Joel songbook has played with Tom Jones and obviously he doesn't hire monkeys.

If, as you say, you are average, how many really good guys are outh there? The bassist at the Meat Loaf thing was a foxy woman so I guess image counts too.
My niece's husband is really good and teaches but you couldn't drag him up on stage for any amount of money because he simply hasn't got the drive to do it.
