Night Train - Guns and Roses Tribute 
Thursday August 15th
8PM
$29 $19

Following in the footsteps of one of music's most illustrious heavy metal acts is a tall order by any means, but when that heavy metal act's implosion still generates buzz a decade after playing its final show, it doesn't make things easy.

But that's exactly the kind of challenge the members of the Guns 'n' Roses cover band Night Train welcome with open arms. Not only are they attempting to emulate the sound of musical legends, they are taking it to the next level by imitating the chart-topper's dress and attire as well.

The Elgin-based band Night Train, who will be performing at bergenPAC on Thursday August 15th , has studied the ins and outs of the original Guns 'n' Roses for years and the members feel confident they live up to their billing.

"I think we're the best G 'n' R cover band out there right now, to tell you the truth," said guitarist Chad "Izzy" Baxter. "From the hair to the clothes - right down to the last detail, we're them."

With dedicated attention to detail, Nigh Train covers the early career of Guns 'n' Roses, playing songs from rare bootleg material, "Appetite for Destruction," "GN' r' Lies," "Use Your Illusion I and II" and even "The Spaghetti Incident?"
