BRH Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Also, Rob Halford leaving Judas Priest and the Priest trying to soldier on without him.
stevewin Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Also - Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs for John "Stumpy" Pepys - Spinal Tap Childs would perform on four Tap albums before choking to death on someone else’s vomit in 1974. Who produced the vomit remains shrouded in mystery. Nigel: "You can’t really dust for vomit."
Rico Posted January 14, 2005 Author Posted January 14, 2005 David Lee Roth. Hands Down.Just because he can't write his own songs doesn't mean he wasn't a great frontman for VH. 205733[/snapback] I'm just kidding. That was an awful move on Eddie V's part.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Worst non-musical move? Fisher Stevens (aka Steven Fisher, aka "DUMBASS") cheating on Michelle Pfeiffer.
erynthered Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Peter Tork for Danny Partridge, that sucked
Terry Tate Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 CHAZZ: Let me ask you a question. Which side did you take in the big Van Halen / David Lee Roth split? MOORE: Uh...what do you mean? MILO: What kind of question is that? CHAZZ: Which way did you go, man? Roth or Halen? MOORE: Van Halen? IAN: He's a cop. CHAZZ: Later, bacon. REX: Oink oink!
IDBillzFan Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Have you been to a show from "The Dead"? 205743[/snapback] No, actually, I was just bustin' ya-yas. I had a lot of friends who were Deadheads, but in reality didn't really follow the band around. Personally, I didn't care for their music beyond a few songs. And his ties are ugly as hell.
zonabb Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 DLR's departure made VH a joke. If we're talking death, John Bonham's death brought down arguably the best band ever. They were wise to fold camp because no one could replace Bonham. The one change that I still think about and probably no one here will even know who I'm talking about is... Sepultura- Max Cavalera left the band he formed, with his brother on drums, and they have sucked every since. In fact, I'm not sure the Cavalera brothers have spoken since! I met and interviewed Max with his new band, great guy. I'm not a Motley Crew fan but didn't they try to move on with a new singer sometime in the 90s?

MattyT Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 The VH one has to get my vote....mostly cause it really screwed with my head because they put out 5150 and I thought it was great. Then OU812 came out and I realized that I had been lying to myself the whole time. My realization has been reinforced because everything that they have put out since has been utter dogsh!t. Still, I wouldn't mind downing some tequila with Sammy down in Cabo.
KD in CA Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Yoko "joining" the Beatles. 205816[/snapback] DING! DING! DING! We have a winner. Yoko sucks.
envirojeff Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Michael McDonald for Tommy Johnston - Doobie Brothers 205744[/snapback] You got it brother! I was looking for this one and there it was. Someone who knows there music. That moron completely trashed a great band!! Another was the retard Peter Cetera...ugh! Jeff

At leat Hagar's albums were tolerable. I still can't listen to VH III. They'd have been better off just doing an instrumental album at that point...
slothrop Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Roger Waters leaving Pink Floyd. I love all that is Floyd, even "Momentary Lapse of Reason," and "The Division Bell," but it is not the same.
Simon Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Donna Godchaux singing for the Dead. She sounds like a dying banshee. Too bad because otherwise that period the Dead kicked 205722[/snapback] Actually I kind of liked the work they did in the studio with her. She just didn't have enough juice to belt it out live so when she tried her voice just went to pieces. The heroin and booze probably didn't help either. Cya

I thought it was a good voice, but more suited for the Allman Bros. or Skynard...not so much the Dead. Pigpen was a tough act to follow for any of his successors.
theesir Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Cant say Rhodes or Bon Scott....they died for Chrissakes. And The Johnson AC/DC put out some hella good albums. And you cant say Mustaine, either. There is NO WAY Metallica would have survived with the overinflated egos of Hammet, Ulrich AND Mustaine. This argument begins and ends with David Lee Roth and Van Halen. 205713[/snapback] Without question, this is the ONE excepable answer to this question. Van Halen went from being the greatest Rock Party band around to a Pop, joke version of themselves. Some of Haggar's stuff was OK, but compared to what they were with Roth, it was bubble gum rock. </Gavel Down> CASE CLOSED!
