craigb Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Although I can think of several, I'll start with these! Marillion: From Derek William D ick (a.k.a., Fish) to Steve Hogarth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I'll let others chime in on the others, though I'm expecting to see things like AC/DC, Genesis, Iron Maiden, etc.! ? (Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Journey, Black Sabbath... ?) Edited January 13, 2023 by craigb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Genesis? Hmm, debatable. Depends how you define 'success' I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Dickens Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Judas Priest. Rob Halford is their second singer. Also the fourth, after Tim Owens. Arch Enemy. Angela Gossow replaced Johan Liiva and was replaced with Alissa White-Gluz. Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne, followed by Ronnie James Dio, followed by a string of other guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Dickens Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Let's see: Judas Priest started taking off after Rob joined and are still going strong. Arch Enemy got much bigger once Angela came along and bigger still with Alissa. Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are two of Black Sabbath's biggest records.

Fans may still buy the albums and watch the shows, but for me they're not really the same band. * * Although one man screaming along to overly loud guitars does sound pretty much like any other man screaming along to overly loud guitars, so I guess it makes little difference in the case of some bands ** ** How Ozzy Osbourne ever got a job as a singer has always baffled me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) It is a massive decision point on what to do with the band after the loss of a member (whether to pack it up or continue). You already mentioned AC/DC, but for folks who lived through listening to Back In Black for the first time after Bon Scott's death... we were highly critical yet amazed. A portion of the credit for that album needs to go to Mutt Lange though (the album was done over just 7 weeks in the Bahamas!).

Agreed - Hackett's recent re-working of old Genesis with Nad Sylvan on vocals have been better than many of Collins' interpretations - although no question, Collins was an excellent front man in his own right. I think the most inspired decision Hackett made was asking Amanda Lehmann to do lead vocals on Ripples - an absolutely incredible rendition IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 When David Longdon replaced Sean Filkins as lead singer in Big Big Train the band took big a leap forward. and were starting to reach a wider audience when David sadly died. Hopefully Alberto Bravin will continue to move them forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Faith No More. No direspect to the late Chuck Mosley, but Mike Patton helped take the band to a whole new level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
