[Music] Kasabian frontman, Tom Meighan leaves the band.

[Poojah]

Didn't the Sugababes change every member?

Basically.

 

[marlowe]

Ultravox achieved greater commercial success after John Foxx left and was replaced with Midge Manure.

 

[marlowe]

Fleetwood Mac became phenomenally successful after their frontman Peter Green left (and also more sexually appealing).

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Iron Maiden and AC/DC best examples of this being incorrect.

Except AC/DC were better with Bon Scott

 

[marlowe]

Whatever happened to Duran Duran after their original vocalist Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy left?

 

[Live by the sea]

Exactly without mr Le Bon they probably won’t be the pop gods they are . Oh shall I say paper gods !

Thoughts to woman he's attacked and the child who called 999 after watching it!

Sod that shit, there’s a pop music debate going on, who gives a crap about domestic violence?

Thoughts to woman he's attacked and the child who called 999 after watching it!

Totally agree. He assaulted his girlfriend in a "sustained attack", dragged her back into the house by her ankles and a terrified kid dialled 999 - and he gets community service. What sort of message does that send out about domestic abuse and women's safety?

Fairport Convention and Jefferson Airplane both replaced their lead singer and shot to greater success. Sandy Denny and Grace Slick were both a huge step up from their predecessors.

I don't remember this guy doing vocal duties on any of Supertramp's hits

I'd just thought of that one. [emoji23]

As I said, the sentence seems ridiculously lenient.

Perhaps more will come out. But zero excuses for the actions that he has already admitted to.

Never been a band that came back stronger after losing their frontman. Oh well

No Doubt

The original frontman was John Spence. Gwen Stefani was supplying backing vocals but then stepped up after Spence's death.

Journey

Steve Perry replaced Robert Fleischman and success followed.

Funny enough in my original post I nearly put that this may be open to debate. I can't comment as not a huge AC/DC fan. If you look at sales figures since Brian they've not done too bad!

As for Maiden I'm fanatical so well qualified to comment. Paul Dianno's less stereotypical punk like attitude and voice helped them emerge from the raft of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. But a lack of commitment and substance abuse was his undoing. Dickinson took them to the next level vocally, in song writing and on stage craft.

Yeah thanks (not being sarcastic) but I don't even want to read all that after being on the receiving end of the British "Justice" system and it's complete joke of sentencing guidelines.

Suffice to say, I suppose I shouldn't have been in any way surprised.......... Naivety that logic should prevail in life has always been a downfall of mine tbf.

EDIT - so of course I DID read it, and it's a total disgrace. What a mess of a country we now live in.
