Bands running out of original members playing LIVE at the Savannah Flower Fest

[Zzzptm]

Fuck, sorry Z, i hit modify instead of quote. Didn't mean to fuck up you post... Remodify it if you bother, so i don't seem like a total asshat... 

:ashamed:

I've done that as well, no worries, Billy. We're the same person some times, you and I.

OH NO TYPHON WILL USE THAT AS EVIDENCE QUICK I NEED TO MODIFY THIS POST

Damn, I quoted it instead by mistake. I wish those options weren't right next to each other!

I think one of the comments summed it up the best... "Not one original member in this band. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. One last thing...... I don't know how much this singer is paid, but if it's a buck it's to much. Absolutely terrible."

I agree, absolutely terrible...

Hey, what about (not bogus) Deep Purple? They haven't had any original members since '93...  

Sorry, brainfart... It's 2002, ofcourse... 

Paice is still there.

Yes, he is, after stealing the gig while Carlo Little went out to buy cigarettes

But... No defence against my point of view there? Was kinda expecting that...

I *had* a response, but the moment has passed. And if you look at the lineup on the first Mk1 album, I believe you see Mr. Paice in the credits. Sort of the same way that Ringo Starr is an "original" member of The Beatles. Lineups before that first recording don't really count.

Hmmmm, Do demos count?

Then you got Judas Priest, Who's "original" singer, Al Akins, not only did demos, but his material made it to the first and second albums (Dave Mustaine and Metallica comes to mind as well), thus getting "credit"?
Even the credit thing is a little sticky, because drummers and bass players, unless they wrote the lyrics or melody (riffs), aren't usually credited anyway, unless you do a split like Sabbath.

I know that it's probably just me being nittpicky, but it is kind of an interesting grey area.

It's funny to think of AC/DC, as they didn't have a stable line-up until the second album, so they haven't been the original band since 1975 or so. But I guess in the end, we all know AC/DC was the brain-child of Angus and Malcolm, and the rest for all intents and purposes, were really sidemen.

I never even heard of Carlo Little until I read Billy's post.

Well, i do consider Pete Best Beatles' original drummer as well as Stu Sutcliffe being their original bassist, they're both on the My Bonnie-album with Tony Sheridan, and it wasn't the bands fault Polydor decided to call them "The Beat Brothers".
And Dave Evans was the original AC/DC vocalist, he did their first single Can I Sit Next to You, Girl.

And there wouldn't be any Metallica without Mustaine, not only due to his song writing on Kill 'Em All, but it's also bleeding over to Ride The Lightning. You can't always just count band members by having played on albums or not.

AC/DC really belong in this thread too considering the state of the band at the moment. Stevie Youngs connection nonetheless, Angus is the only original or classic member left. The only way to get a "true" AC/DC again is to bring back Brian Johnson, and i actually think Axl've been doing a decent job for them. It's still Angus' solo project, though, just like Chinese Democracy-era G 'n' R was Axl's solo band.


That being said; i only brought DP up just to mess with you, Dozy

You Danes are all crazy...

Oooohhhh, now you're playing with fire... 



Well, guess i've brought it on myself...

^^^ Atleast you didn't call me a Swede. That would've earned a ban...

Another band down to 2 members, hoping to open up for "Puppet Show":

Not horrible, but the lyrics guaranteed to drive you up the wall... and the playing isn't amazing... I made it to a minute-and-a-half before I was done with it.

Bachman and Turner sound about the same as they did back in the day... but the other half of BTO has sued them about their ability to use "Bachman" or "Turner" in their band name.

That's absolutely asinine! Fred Turner and Randy Bachman were/are BTO and the only good thing about the band! That's be like Stevie Young suing Angus and Malcolm over AC/DC or something. Wow, this is definitely Topsy Turvy land!

Herman's Hermits Featuring Peter Noone... Noone left in 1971 and 1973 and yet tours under that band name. The drummer was the only band member to stay in the band all the way through their different versions, but he now has to tour as "Herman's Hermits starring Barry Whitwam" because of legal disputes.

Peter doesn't sound half bad, though.
