MADISON, WI (UPI)- Madison-based Guns N’ Roses tribute band Rocket Queen announced that they would no longer be working with each other, citing uncreative differences.

The act has been together since 1999, having formed out of the two previous cover bands “Crazy Train” and “Almost Van Halen”. The less-than-supergroup that resulted in the union has been performing throughout the Greater Madison area for the past six years.

End Of An Era?
“We were just all going in different directions as a band,” lamented Rocket Queen bassist Don Macelravey, who looks nothing like Duff McKagan. “Steve (“Not Axl” Nemet) and John (“Not Slash” Labenz) were always arguing about which GNR era to cover, with Steve wanting to concentrate on vocal-heavy stuff from “Lies”, and John all about “Use Your Illusion II”. It got pretty ugly sometimes.”

The two remaining scheduled Rocket Queen shows have been canceled. If fans pre-purchased tickets to this Friday’s show at Mayhall’s Bowling Alley in Arbor Hills, or next Saturday’s show at Whiskey Business Sports Bar in Greenbush, they can receive a full refund at point of purchase.

The curtain is not yet completely closed on Rocket Queen. Nemet, who maintains the rights to the band’s name and ownership of their van, says the group might carry on with replacement musicians. “I know some other dudes who are dying to be a part of my vision,” boasted Nemet, “And once Axl finishes “Chinese Democracy” we’ll have that much more awesome music to choose from”.
