rolling stones; longest running band afaik

Most of them? Honestly there's no way to give an exhaustive list. Most bands don't continue after losing or firing a vocalist. There are many that did, there are far far more that did not.

Didn't New Order form from the ashes of Joy Division?

Sorta? And honestly I think they did the right thing by not using the old name, since it wasn't the same band anymore. At the same time I can understand not wanting to lose name recognition for the work already done. It's an odd and unfortunate question to contemplate.

And then you have a murky situation such as ELO vs ELO Part 2.

"""In 1988 drummer Bev Bevan approached Jeff Lynne, wanting to record another ELO album.[2] Lynne declined to participate, so Bevan signaled that he intended to continue the band without him.[3] Lynne, however, objected over use of the ELO name, and the final agreement reached between the two resulted in ELO officially disbanding and Bevan forming a new band in 1989 called Electric Light Orchestra Part Two.[4] Another term of the agreement was that Lynne would get a percentage of ELO Part II's record royalties.""

Could argue Pantera. They had something like five vocalists before Anselmo. One of them recorded three albums with them. They're unrecognisable compared to what was to become but they still exist.

I was always under the impression Anselmo was always their singer since their debut, yeah I’m aware that they had like 3 or 4 albums before Cowboys but yeah always thought it was Phil since 1981, gonna have a read now, cheers.

No prob. I mean personally I don't count anything they did pre-CFH anyway cos it's unlistenable garbage and the Abbott brothers were just teenagers obsessed with Kiss haha

What about Rex Rocker? 😂

So Phil’s 1st album with Pantera was Metal Magic, love the hair Phil.

shudders

😂 It’s hilarious hey, 80’s Metal.

When I saw Pantera in Australia in '01, Phil brought out the confederate flag and started going on about how it was the last thing white Americans had to hold on to, and that he would knock anyone's teeth out if they disagreed with him. It was a vulgar display of.... well, pitiful hatred.

Even having witnessed this first hand, his 80s hair metal phase is STILL the thing that I think he should be the most embarrassed about.

I remember when Pantera were in back in ‘93 or ‘94 & Powderfinger were the support act. 😂

Haha yep back when Powderfinger were like a shitty Aus version of Tool. Then they became a shitty Aus version of Powderfinger.

Sure, but then you also have to mention stuff like K.K.s Priest instead of just plain old Judas Priest, and other similar examples. Where does one draw the line?

Rammstein, Porcupine tree

Rush

Don’t get me started about Powderfinger… I’m like the devil amongst all my friends who rate Powderfinger & Bernard.

Most of them

OP's next post will be "bands that still play music"

It would be much easier to list the handful of bands that have changed their lead vocalist.

I think 95% of bands probably keep their original singer through the duration of the band.
