I realy like this band one of the greats of prog rock
Cheers Philo! The man is definitely missed but his music and memories are ours forever. A true rock 'n roll legend indeed.
Any fans of King Crimson on this board?
I've always thought they were and still are an incredibly unique band mainly because every incarnation of the group was distincly different in each decade and yet they always managed to create cutting edge mu…
I liked all three singers for Bad Company.
Bad Company is a band that also can be on this list
I believe Eddie Van Halen knew, what he wanted for his band, when he replaced Roth with Hagar. It was a new beginning, for VH with 5150, not being like their debut album at all. They were more commerical, during the Sammy era, than with Dave, but th…
I like "Tormato" as well and really, really like "Talk", it's kind of an unknown, I don't remember hearing anything about it before it came out.
Drama is definitely one of their best albums. I also really like Tormato. I know Steve Howe slagged their 90125 and after era but I really like that stuff also.
Foghat is a tough one. Nobody could really replace Lonesome Dave , but Charlie Huhn is a fine singer & front man and is doing a good job.
Ted Nugent replaced Derrick St.Holmes with Charlie Huhn and now does the vocals himself to diminished returns.
Blaze might not be able to really hang with the previous Maiden releases but on the two albums he did, he did have a few really stellar tracks.
Yeah I agree this incarnation of Lizzy should call it a day. With no original members left, it is heresy to have Lizzy without Lynott at the helm. They have pissed all over the legacy of this amazing band & whomever they get in to sing won't make a…
I happen to think Blaze is a terrible singer having had the misfortune to hear him in his previous band Wolfesbane. He certainly could not do justice to the Di'Anno or Dickenson material.
With Yes they also replaced Jon Anderson with Trevor Horn fir "Drama" in 1980. He kind of sounds like Anderson, but has his own style and the album is one of my favorite from Yes. The worst I can think of is Blaze Bayley in Iron Maiden...though not…
I think the Deep Purple thing was slightly different though because, save for 'Smoke On The Water' & occasionally 'Highway Star', no other Gillan era material was played. So trying to find a singer (when in effect they got two) to replicate Gillan o…
The problem with Survivor is that they can't get their act together.
Bickler was the original singer, then came Jamison.
Then Jamison left/was fired and Bickler was brought back in.
Then Bickler left/was fired and Jamison (after protracted lawsui…
Lynyrd Skynyrd: The move from Ronnie to Jonnie was interesting in that Jonnie can sing the back catalog well enough, but the songwriting suffered a bit in my opinion. I still like the new stuff well enough, but its not the same.
Survivor: I hated i…
Interesting discussion. To me, the singer is usually the "center piece", or "face" of the band, if you will. So, replacing the singer is more difficult than replacing, say, a lead guitarist, or a bass player.
But, like we discussed a while back...y…
I think the Van Halen move was a great one and to be honest, I like the Hagar material just as much if not more than the Roth stuff. The less said about Gary Cherone with VH the better though.
The most interesting thing about the whole Van Halen th…
I think a band having to replace their lead singer has to be one of the most daunting tasks, especially if that band is well established and had a certain level of success. It seems that more bands that are faced with having to do this end up merely…
you are absolutely right,john is an amazing player and singer and also at one time a member of the band.to think you can carry on without him is a joke.advice to scott,just hang it up bro,lizzy lost all of it's remaining credibility when john left.
