MR

is there a band you would see no matter who was replaced, as long as most original members were still there.
i used to saw i wouldnt like a band unless the original singer was there.
journey van halen and ozzy have all replaced intrigal parts and continued to make great music.
who would you go see no matter what.

The only one I could say I'd go see no matter what is Pink Floyd as long as Gilmore was still at the mic/guitar.

Perhaps interestingly I would rather see Roger Waters play the Floyd classics with his own band rather than watch the relic that the Gilmour machine has become. Water's In the Flesh DVD featured incredible musicianship, Dogs was a particular highlight.

From experience I would say Danzig is the band I have seen the most despite the frequent line up changes. As long as Glenn Danzig is at the helm i'm there.

Night Ranger. Incredibly, they were BETTER with Beach in the band. The animosity had been simmering between the guys and Watson for years. I feel dirty for even saying it, but in retrospect, I'm glad it happend. Now if they can only convince Reb to become a full-time member.

Reb Beach is one of the greatest hired hands I've ever heard. He seems to reinvigorate any band he plays with!

Ditto on that...Dokken had a big comeback with him in the band on the "Erase the Slate" album and he was great in Whitesnake as well.

He is a great guitarist - but ,,,,,, do you not think he kinda sounds like a hired hand????

Its like, he can cover all the bases but the feeling is not QUITE there......

Feeling CAN be subjective so I wouldn't say that.

Gordon, years ago when I was a youngster, I saw Rainbow with Ritchie from the fifth row in a small venue. I was staring up at him right in front of me thinking man, what a guitar god. I wish he would do one more Rainbow tour before he kicks off.

Perhaps - i just feel that Mr. Lynch is VERY hard to replace - everyone sees him as a shredder - but, i always thought his melodic capabilities were overlooked - which is a shame.

I think feeling is very important, but that being said, I think intensity can be just as impressive and Reb has intensity in spades!

You can say what you like mate - any Ritchie fan is a friend of mine - i would WALK to a concert hall just to see Ritchie rock one more time. He is the reason i took up guitar and spent three years teaching it for a living - he is my holy grail.

Every notice that a lot of the shredders all kind of sound the same after awhile. Guitarists like Ritchie and Page & Beck etc. all had a VERY distinctive style AND sound. But then again, music from that era was very varied unlike most of the crap the record companies throw at us these days.

You are so right - can you imagine Beck or Clapton tryin to strike out now? They would maybe find a small niche - but, in their day people gave artists time and asked them to express themselves. Musically, we live in dark times. I wish American Idol and the X factor, would fuck off! Christ! Can you imagine if these shows had been around he last 50 years? There would have been no Dylan,Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith, Tom Petty, etc - it would have just been airbrushed shit............................having said all that tho, the bastards would have had no choice but to cream their pants when they heard Perry sing

Yeah, screw American Idol. I just see that Kathrine McFee lost her record deal. She only sold 300,000+ CD's. Record company said they didn't see her breaking through to the mainstream. Jesus, RUSH would never have had a chance these days. Record companies used to try to build their acts over time and usually gave an artist 3 albums or so to do it. Fuck em all. I know what I like and I'll find it without the record whores.

Yes, and you will probably like people with REAL talent!

I can't think of one band that I would want to see if certain members were replaced.

C'mon now. Wouldn't you see Spinal Tap even though every drummer they have had has blown up?

Well, with Spinal Tap, it doesn't matter who the drummer is. They just end up as a little green globule on the drum seat anyway...Or choke on vomit, or die in bizarre gardening accidents, etc.

They tend to meld best with tall, blond geek drummers.

Isn't Reb out of NR now? I noticed they have been using the guistraist from Scrap Metal recently in his absence.
