The 80's and 90's are long gone but tribute bands like Appetite for Destruction keep the experience going for all to enjoy. Word has it that these guys are a better show than the original but that'll be up to you to decide so get down to a show and check 'em out!

Appetitie for Destruction headlined at The Downtown in Farmingdale with "Master of Puppets" (Metallica Tribute Band) and "The Mighty VH" (Van Halen Tribute Band) opening up. The band hit the stage in full costume with Slash in his wig & top-hat and Axl in his kilt & chest protector... switching to a flannel and shorts mid-show. These guys gave the audience what they wanted with trademark GNR songs like November Rain, My Michelle, Paradise City and a collection of others. Mike Ficalora (Duff) explains how much the band enjoys giving an audience the opportunity to listen to some of their favorite GNR songs live... and if the band wasn't together, they'd be supporting some other GNR tribute band to get their fill.

AFD also participated  in a Monsters of Mock show where they headlined a performance at the Vanderbilt in Plainview. Other recent appearances include Stemstock (kind of a mini Woodstock) in upstate NY and a show at Hogs and Heifers in NYC. This is the place that inspired the movie "Coyote Ugly". These guys are getting around and plan to expand their shows to other states along the east coast.  Find more information about Appetite for Destruction at their website www.gnrtribute.com.
