SOMEONE LIKE YOU ENDED UP SINGING FOR BANG TANGO

 Monday, November 30th, 2009 at 2:30pm by

It’s the kind of thing that happens mostly in dreams and Mark Wahlberg movies, but a random fan actually got to fill-in on vocals with one his favorite bands this past weekend. When Bang Tango (and Beautiful Creatures) frontman Joe LeSte was taken ill prior to their November 25th performance in Chicago, a man by the name of TJ did a respectable job taking LeSte’s place for an abbreviated 5 song set. Bang Tango aren’t quite Judas Priest and Joe LeSte ain’t exactly Rob Halford, but this story is still pretty fucking cool. That guy will remember this night forever.

Here’s some fan-filmed footage of TJ performing “Someone Like You” with Bang Tango.

What’s the current status of Beautiful Creatures, anyway? Which third-rate guitarist is currently filling the slot vacated by second-rate GN’R axeman DJ Ashba? Inquiring metal bloggers would like to know.

      Actually I think it says “You Tube” whatever that means.

      • Beereded

        No, I mean the screen still, before you hit play. Right above the You Tube logo/ black bar.

    An unfortunate choice of pants to wear the night you just so happen to end up singing for the band you are going to see. He does a good job though!

    Not bad at all. Better than I could ever do.

  • myke

  • TurdFerguson

    That is one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen. I hope the Vinnie Vincent Invasion do a reunion tour and Mark Slaughter gets sick and i get called up to shine like this guy did.

    With the baseball cap and baggy pants with the wallet chains on them, that kid looks like he showed up at the club on the wrong night. “You mean the Limp Bizkit reunion show’s next week?”

  • The Ghost of D. Boon

    I have not heard of any of the bands mentioned in this article at all. (Well, except for G’n'R)

  • Fufkin

    You laugh at his pants but I laugh at the way Americans call trousers pants.
