I don't think anyone ever has or does or will do, no matter how good tribute artists are or a replacement singer would be.
But Axl Rose doesn't sound anything like Brian Johnson. Adam Lambert doesn't sound anything like Freddie Mercury.
You can still have a good time I suspect but you'd have to set your expectations accordingly I reckon and that could be a sticking point of how to sell this / market the show.
With Queen and ACDC continuing I understand perhaps some of the rationale behind what is being attempted here.
I'd be interested to give this a go but I think it should be a high speed show in the spirit of what Meat used to do himself rather than a stop start thing with stories in between. I just can't see that suiting this type of music. I was never swayed with coming out to see the Vegas shows. I also hated when I saw some of the British tribute artists who did a great job with doing Meat's music doing all sorts of comedic breaks and talking crap between songs.
