LIVE BAND!
Machine Gun Symphony is a high‑energy 80s hair metal tribute band from Springfield, Missouri, known for their stage presence, glam‑metal style, and faithful renditions of classic rock anthems. They recreate the look, sound, and vibe of the 1980s rock scene and their shows feature covers of iconic bands like Mötley Crüe, Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N’ Roses, and Bon Jovi, complete with big hair, leather, neon, and plenty of attitude.
They don’t just play the songs — they embody the era with costumes, stage antics, and crowd interaction. Their concerts are designed to feel like stepping back into a wild 80s rock club, making them popular at festivals, bars, and themed events. They’ve built a loyal following across Missouri and beyond, appealing to both nostalgic fans who lived through the 80s and younger audiences discovering glam metal for the first time.
Unlike original acts, Machine Gun Symphony is dedicated to celebrating the glam‑metal era rather than producing new material. Songs like Kickstart My Heart (Mötley Crüe), Paradise City (Guns N’ Roses), and Cherry Pie (Warrant) are staples of their setlist. Their performances are fast‑paced, loud, and theatrical — hence the “Machine Gun” in their name, symbolizing rapid‑fire rock energy.
Machine Gun Symphony is a tribute band that keeps the spirit of 80s glam metal alive with over‑the‑top performances, nostalgic hits, and a party‑like atmosphere.
