Nah, just picked SOME prickish singers who had to be deep-sixed.
Oh come on, it takes two to tango....
You come on.
Carcinogens must be 86'd lest they mestasticize. Not talking about all of the ex singers but in the case of Flieschman it's been implied he was a little difficult too.
Not arguing that. But you did respond to someone saying "there's a history of really brutal replacing"....which there IS! You can't deny it. The history is right there for anyone to see.
Now maybe some of these singers got what was coming...but think about it. You lose one bad singer, two maybe. When you've sacked several, you start thinking that maybe the problem isn't just the singer!!
This sorta thing happened with Van Halen. They split with Roth, everyone assumed the flamboyant, always smart-ass Roth was the reason behind the split. Then the split with Sammy happens...people start musing (rightfully) that maybe Ed's part of the problem. Then Cherone gets sacked. Hagar lasts one reunion tour. Mikey was sacked years ago, but stayed on as a salaried employee.....then finally back with Roth and donut boy on bass.
Once you start seeing the pattern, you realize that maybe it wasn't the singer's fault all along. No amount of claiming "lead singers disease" can change public opinion that Eddie is the virus, NOT Sammy, Roth, Cherone, Mikey, etc...
Same goes for Journey. When Perry splits the first time, you assume that maybe Perry was the fuckwad. You can dismiss the Flieshman thing as just an experiment gone bad. But when you look at the band's history with lead singers IN THE AGGREGATE, it is VERY clear that the problem IS NOT ENTIRELY THE FAULT OF THE SINGER. Flieshman, Perry, Perry (again), Augeri, JSS, (soon to be) Pineda.
There might be some carcinogenic singers in lists for both bands...but dude, there is an UGLY history there....Neal's a douchebucket. Cain will fire his mother if it meant a greater profit margin.....those kinda mindsets don't equate to long-term employee satisfaction....
