I was reading about the singer of Night By Night leaving the band and recently the singer of Crashdiet left. I swear 75% of my favorite bands have changed their lead singer at one point or another.

 

Is there a popular band or a classic band that has all it's original members or that no member has left at one point in the band's existence?

 

 

Not trying to be stupid, but off the top of my head Steel Panther was the first band I thought of.

Close.

 

Bassist Tim Gaines did not participate in the recording of To Hell with the Devil, and for a short period of time prior to the release of the record he was replaced by Matt Hurich. Hurich was not with the band more than a month, although he was outfitted with a yellow and black striped bass and a racing costume. Brad Cobb played bass on the album.

TORA TORA? Hardly call them popular, but I'll take it. So far we have two. There has to be more.

I think AEROSMITH and RUSH too

 

John Rutsey played drums on the first Rush album ...

 

Richie Supa and Jimmy Crespo both played on 'Night In The Ruts' instead of Joe Perry; Rick Dufay replaced Brad Whitford for 'Rock In A Hard Place' ...

Led Zeppelin

 

Messrs Plant, Page and Jones have played as Zeppelin with Jason Bonham on drums - does that count as a change? Or are we only taking about recording line-ups?

The Beatles didn't change their line up for the whole of their recording career ... Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe left/were fired before their first album was released.

With regard to the one change, the four core guys in Bon Jovi were together for a billion years. Not sure what's happening there now (did Sambora get kicked out?) but aside from the bass player, they've had the same line-up forever.

 

And Pink Cream 69. Their only change ever was from Deris to Readman.

The Police kept hold of the same three members throughout their time with A&M - their original guitarist, Henry Padovani, appears on their debut single, but was ousted after Andy Summers joined the band (and before their debut album was recorded.)

 

They were only together for 8 years, but they were ALWAYS on the radio when I was growing up :)

It depends if you believe the conspiracies or not....

Depends on whether you are talking under the SP moniker or all their various names over the years.

While its been the same four guys through Metal Shop, Metal Skool and Steel Panther names, there was a different drummer in their Danger Kitty guise.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger

      I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.

      Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.
