bands that have split ...better or worse

[guypjfreak]

So basically this is about singers that have left there bands to make another band and bands that are still going with out their original singers and if there better or worse for the fact ....

just a bit of fun and im wandering just how many bands have split from their front man and where both have continued to performed..

The Artic Monkeys ...singer starts new band Shadow Puppets ....Puppets better imo

The Doves ....great band split up now shit

The Verve.....Great band now nowwhere apart from old richy trying to get some new drugs to work [ hes quite good tho but not as good as when with the original band ] imo

Oasis ...On both counts

Pink Floyd ....to a degree

The Stranglers .......hughs good but he was better with the original band ...imo!!!!!

Sabbath made a decent fist of it with Dio on Heaven and Hell, and in the same year Ozzy released Blizzard of Ozz. Everyone seemed to be a winner there!

It's all been downhill for Eddie Vedder since the glory days of Porch.

I'm going to a festival in November, I've just found out the only original member in one of the headliners is the drummer. The drummer! Surely that's just taking the piss.

When The Wailers played West Holts a couple of years back only the bass player was of any respectable vintage.

Ratt of all people. When thinking of seeing them, no-one ever said "I don't care who's in the band as long as Bobby Blotzer is still with them".

Luckily I won the tickets so don't really care but wouldn't be happy of I'd shelled out hard earned.

Tony McCarroll should reform Oasis on his own. He was always the best one.

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.

He was better than Alan White, at least on the songs he could actually play!

My brother used to have a bee in his bonnet about Lol Tolhursts's impact on The Cure, but he was clearly wrong.

Metallica after the MegaDave Mustaine era.

Paul McCartney, he went on to make the band the Beatles could have been.

No quite true.  Ratt's one other fan said exactly that.

 

Though she is Bobby Blotzer's mum.

You know how crazy the music industry when there are musicians fighting for the rights to Ratt's name.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Loyal fans - Ratt-hats - live by the mantra 'No Blotzer, No Ratt'.

When the singer's cock sock was in with a shout, it's time to call it a day.

The Beatles went straight downhill once Pete Best was replaced with that Ringo fella

[Quark]

No. No they were not.

The only reason they became Doves was the fact they had all their equipment robbed from Cheeham Hill when they were Sub Sub

Best thing that ever happened to them was Vince Clark leaving. Martin Gore is a better song writer and musician, where as Alan Wilder was far better in the studio.

Joy Division, singer took his own life and band go on to become electro/dance/rock uber gods. Then bass player leaves said band and they go on to create their best work in 20 years.
