- Me, Myself, and I
- We are BAD NAME, an Edinburgh based BON JOVI tribute band, playing all over Scotland.
Playing all classic jovi tracks from the early days of "Runaway" to present day hits from the recent album "Lost Highway."
The band members are:
Ross Kyne - Lead vocals
Gav Buckley - Lead guitar and backing vocals
Wayne Hamilton - Keyboards and backing vocals
Grant Dilworth - Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals
David Simpson - Drums
Unlike some Jovi tribute acts we don't wear silly party/cabaret wigs (although shades and cowboy hats are worn cos they are cool!) ; it's all about the music. We strive to recreate the Jovi live sound which has seen them regarded as one of the greatest live bands, with a career spanning over 25 years that doesn't show any signs of slowing up!
Thanks for taking the time to have a look!

Steve Busby - Leaving the band
We are sorry to announce that our next gig @ Rockers, Glasgow will be the last gig that Bad Name willl play with our Superb Bassist Steve Busby. The "Mr im too cool to like Bon Jovi" has now graduated from Edinburgh University and feels that work commitments will begin to hinder his and the bands progress in the long term and has decided to step down. He will be sorely missed by the rest of the band and our hardcore Bad Name fans.
But dont worry this will not affect the bands gig commitments and we will announce a long term replacement for Steve in the very near future. So watch this space.

So, we got back safely (eventually) from Orkney after what was a cracking nite. massive thanks goes to Mark @ Fusion for having us and treating us like kings for the weekend, Thanks again Mark and we hope to be back in 2009. also a huge handshake goes to Malky for looking after us and keeping us up to date with ferry times to get us back home lol.
So its back to normal & we are looking forward to playing in our home town @ Espionage on 12th December. hope to see all our hardcore "home" support and we hope to win the hearts (and lugs) of many more.
Now over 1,000 profile views on bebo. Happy days.
