Top Ten Replacement Members In Rock Bands
We all love the famous member line-ups in bands, but the replacements members are no less, and rather underrated. Let's show them this is not true!I don't know. I like Brian Johnson, but I find myself listening to more of the Bon Scott stuff. Still, he was a very good replacement.
Edit: I've opened up to Brian more. I still prefer Bon Scott, but Brian was probably the best person they could get to fill in his shoes.
I know some people prefer the Barrett stuff, but I can't imagine Pink Floyd without David Gilmour's guitar playing. He is that good.
I know it's cliche, but replacing John with Neil was the best thing they did. It transformed them musically and lyrically from just an ordinary hard rock band into one of the best prog bands of all time.
Technically, it's Lindsey Buckingham for Bob Welch. Bob Welch replaced Peter Green in 1971, and he resigned in 1974.
Definitely a good decision. Some of my favorite musical moments on Stones records are Mick T.'s guitar solos.
Well, Paul already was a member of the band that was to become The Beatles. Paul and Stu were in the band together. Stu lost interest, wanting to pursue painting, and Paul (who was the more talented player) took over the bass duties.
Scott Weiland’s tragic 2015 death from a drug overdose left many STP fans asking what would happen to the band. As soon as fans started to speculate at Chester Bennington of Linkin Park coming back, he too was found deceased (this one from a suicide).
Ultimately, the band held auditions and opted to go with former nu-Metal band Dry Cell frontman Jeff Gutt as their new singer.
They debuted their song “Meadow” at the end of 2017, to much acclaim.
