There is also a Metallica cover band but the name escapes me.

Battery is a pretty big Metallica cover band in the midwest

Hayseed Dixie originally started out as an AC/DC tribute band but then branched out. They had this whole story about how the only music in their hometown was bluegrass, and then one day a stranger came into town, got in a car accident, died, and someone discovered a bunch of AC/DC tapes in the car and started playing the songs with the instruments they had there (including a desk bell from the local hotel)

Mini Kiss or Little Kiss was the opening act for a show I went to see last summer. I didn't even get the connection until I saw them on stage.

They sang (not very well) to a backing track and were not very good at pretending to play their instruments.

Cover, parody, cover, parody..it's all the same isn't it, sort of, kinda? My hats off to this man...his "covers" of Eat It, Like a Surgeon, and Another One Rides The Bus will forever be etched in my mind. (Loved Mini-Kiss)
