This week on Fake It Out Loud, Sarah is joined by tribute scene powerhouse Kev Williams — a guitarist who's donned the boots, eyeliner, and swagger of some of rock’s most iconic names. From the explosive energy of KISS tributes (Dressed to Kill, Unkissed), to the stadium-shaking sounds of Bon Jovi, and the chaotic charm of Mötley Screw, Kev brings it all to life.

We dive into:

• What authenticity really means in tribute performance
• Recreating the tones and stage presence of legends like Ace Frehley, Mick Mars & Richie Sambora
• Gear choices, gig-day chaos, and backstage rituals
• The evolution of the UK tribute scene — and what still needs to change
• And a lightning-round of Shred Showdown

They’ve been crowned the world’s most authentic Mötley Crüe tribute — and after this conversation, you’ll see exactly why.

In this episode, Sarah is joined by the full force of Mötley Crüde, Europe’s longest-running Crüe tribute band. From sold-out shows at London’s legendary Underworld to their upcoming international tour in Spain, Mötley Crüde are taking the chaos global as they celebrate 10 years on the road with their Decade of Decadence tour.

We dive deep into what makes a great tribute band — the detail, the energy, the authenticity — and how far they go to bring the sleaze, swagger, and spectacle of the real Crüe to stages across the UK and beyond. Plus: behind-the-scenes chaos, unforgettable fan moments, merch that goes way beyond T-shirts, and a round of Shred Showdown that pulls no punches.

If you love tribute culture, Crüe anthems, or just want to hear what it takes to fake it loud — this one’s for you.
