Isn’t the actual match the headliner? :thinking:

Linkin Park without Chester is a pass for me (not that I was ever a huge fan). Nothing against her, I’ve seen her performing the songs and I don’t think she’s bad at all. But it’s just not Linkin Park to me.

Like with that Adam Lambert fella stepping into Freddie Mercury’s shoes, to me, that’s not Queen anymore.

A lot of bands could swap out as many drummers as they like, but I don’t think most could replace their front man in the same way.

To put this in the context of my favourite band: Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison might be performing, but if the front man isn’t David Byrne, don’t try to sell me tickets to a Talking Heads gig.

I can only think of AC/DC who replaced their lead singer seamlessly. Although I’m sure some people older than me might disagree.

Iron Maiden, too

Manic Street Preachers was the counter-example I had in my head when making my post.

In my book, the remaining members of Joy Division had it right when they went on to form New Order.

I mean, he’s never made that much impression on OA but if he sticks around this time he might be able to dream of having the kind of impact that Mr Rhymes Julius did.

This looks like a thread from Classic Rock rather than the CL. :grinning:

I was going to but most people aren’t familar with the singers of King Crimson or early Genesis. :grinning:
