bands that have split ...better or worse

[Nickyboy]

Don't Dr Feelgood tour these days without any original members?

 

[Purple aki squat]

Bobby farrells Boney M didn't quite hit the heights of the original in my opinion. 

Dont want to cause an argument, just saying like.

[reflekting]

Standout one is Damon Albarn. Gorillaz are great but I still prefer Blur.  Although I'd mostly love to see another The Good, The Bad and The Queen album.

Y'all seem to be discussing unrelated topics in the Ratt thread

I have a lot of affection for Blur, but I don't think they ever made an album as good as Demon Days. One of the best records of the naughties.

And Think Tank was decent, but it wasn't a Blur album. Not really.

Not exactly the lead singer, but Battles were never the same after losing Tyondai Braxton. Hard to tell with only one album under their belts with V1. Their music since always seemed to have. Tyondai shaped hole and his solo stuff always seemed to have a Battles shaped hole.

Talking of one album wonders, I've always been fond of Vince Clarke era Depeche Mode.

And of course, we all know the Stones were never as good as with Mick Taylor.

I think it should be recognised (which should be easily done) that John Stanier is the man when you talk about Battles. I saw them play yesterday, funnily enough - absolutely monstrous live band.

I know who I preferred as headliners though, Stu.

Me too. For reasons I'm unwilling to discuss on a public forum.

I met him once, not that randomly, as I'd gone to see him with his band Cement, sometime in the mid 90s. I got his autograph and he kept my pen. 

He wrote "don't piss inside Phil" (my name at the time)  and signed it.

1) Lay it Down

2) Round and Round

3) Way Cool Jr

4) Slip of the Lip

5) You're In Love (let's see...we did one called "you're in trouble" on our multi-platinum debut...let's go with "You're In Love" on the follow-up)

6) Wanted Man "and by the neck...you will hang..it's your neck from this Ratt gang..." (Dylan couldn't have come up with that one)      

7) You Think You're Tough (from an earlier EP)

8 - Never Use Love

9)  (tie)  - She Wants Money & Dangerous But Worth the Risk

10) Ratt in Mi Kitchen

No The Morning After? For shame!

[midnight]

Deep Purple and Yes have covered pretty much all possible options of solo efforts, splits and reunion variants, haven't way?

 

Never heard of Ratt. Thought about googling them for a moment, but it looks like I've been spared something mildly disturbing.

typo, always typo...

I do wonder why The Fall have stuck with their singer ? 

 

 

[Purple aki squat]

It's not just bands mind.

Elton John was never the same when he split from Dick Turpin. The Turpin songs were great.

(L to R) Neil Oliver, Neil from The Young Ones, Bobby Blotzer, Jeff Lynne, Peter Andre

Bucks Fizz! Never has a band so shit endured so much animosity.

This documentary is borderline Spinal Tap but well worth 40 minutes of your time. It's inexplicable to me that the band has a major falling out with the megalomaniac lead singer of Dollar while on tour in the Falklands, but apparently it happened.

Not sure if I'm seeing that..

This man did far more after leaving Purple

[Tommy101]

Gallows are doing alright since Frank Carter left.

Some of Frank's newer outfits are worth a listen too. Pure Love were OK but I really like the Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes album. This track in particular, a good angry song: 

 

[Watergirl]

Best ever replacement I thought was Brian Johnson after Bon Scott died. Not a clone of the previous singer, but somebody a bit different who was perfect for the job. I haven't heard them with Axl Rose but people tell me he is alright.

Karl Wallinger and World Party were quite good for a while after he either left or was kicked out of the Waterboys.

Jack White has been very succesfull in many different set ups.

And probably not that well known on here, but trad band Solas have had six different singers in their 20 year career, all quite different with a distinctive sound, and all good.

[FuzzyDunlop]

George Michael did ok after Wham, but thats solo rather than with a band.

Annie lennox had more success with the Eurythmics than thd Tourists

You reckon Ridgely played the trumpets on those tunes? No chance.
