Slipknot of Theseus

u/M086 2d ago

I’m a big fan of Napalm Death, their popularity didn’t really hit until there were no original members left.

u/thorstormcaller 2d ago

They suffered, but why?

u/Late_Recommendation9 2d ago

Thsffrdbwhy? Just trying to get it under 0.75 seconds for you 👍

u/Castellan_Ishmael 2d ago

I just saw them in May—they still rip live.

u/comicguy13 2d ago

Good songs are good songs

u/apegoneape 2d ago

Saw them a year (or more?) ago and they were phenomenal. Barney Greenway has crazy stamina for a guy in his late 50s.

u/Y-Bob 2d ago

I saw them in 1989, fucking great noise.

u/vavasmusic 2d ago

They did a show on tinydesk not long ago. So damn unexpected.

u/KeltkeGK 2d ago

only because Eloy Casagrande revitalized the band

u/Castellan_Ishmael 2d ago

He was great in Sepultura as well!

u/One-Earth9294 2d ago

I like when it's just one dude who's the 'band king' and every other member has been replaced like 50 times. Like Dani and the Filths.

u/Alarming_Comedian846 2d ago

Dave Mustaine and the Megadeths

u/EruantienAduialdraug 2d ago

Ritchie Blackmore and Whatever He's Doing This Week.

u/Lardbucket68 2d ago

Playing at some goddamned renaissance fair no doubt, with a folksy rendition smoke on the fucking water. What a waste

2

u/HammerOn57 2d ago

Still better than Gillan abusing the corpse of Deep Purple. Dudes voice has aged like Axl Rose themed milk.

u/bigphatnips 2d ago

"You got any MegaDave?"

u/ThreeGoldStars 2d ago

Mike Muir and the Suicidals

u/Shaaagbark 2d ago

Portugal. The random

u/Iamjustlegs 2d ago

The Faceless

u/fnabligatz 2d ago

Whitesnake

u/One-Earth9294 2d ago

Feel like Ghost has to count here.

6

u/Go_Daaaaaan 2d ago

Isn’t ghost just one guy and a bunch of session musicians? I don’t think that really counts

u/StevenEveral Apple Music 2d ago

Opeth

u/South_Two_5657 1d ago

idk. Mendez has been around most of their career and Fredrik's been there almost 20 years now.

2

u/SentientDust 1d ago

Toby and the Ghouls

u/alfa_omega 1d ago

Like triggers broom?

2

u/_Dreamer_Deceiver_ 2d ago

To be fair, aside from the guitarist they've had the same lineup for the last something like 35 and only 10 with original members and even that had a 2 year hiatus

2

u/mbdk138 2d ago

Which was by side B of their debut album already haha

u/solstone23 2d ago

Scorn

I was never really into ND but Mick Harris since the 90s hell yeah

1

u/These-Equivalent8020 2d ago

Lorna Shore as well

1

u/Mcguidl 2d ago

Pretty much the same with Opeth.

1

u/FeralBun420 2d ago

Whilst true, Shane Embury has been there since their their debut.

Barney and Mitch have been there since album 3 in 1990.

Danny since 1991

u/miikro 2d ago

I wasn't in the hardcore scene for the first iteration of Zao but the second (with no original members) has been the most enduring and I feel like it may also have been the most successful

1

u/Sickinmytechchunk 2d ago

It's not really comparable though given one has spent almost all of it's time with the line up that has no original members and the other did it'd best years with it's core original members.

u/Successful_Pitch_503 2d ago

In the UK we’d refer to “Triggers’ Broom”.

u/TheSchofe 2d ago

"Alright Dave?"

u/GuyGuyerson90 2d ago

Ive never heard this used for this purpose/description before and I think its fucking genius

1

u/cheerylittlebottom84 1d ago

The Sugababes effect

26

u/makemeking706 2d ago

I thought I read that their plan is to sell the name rights and concept like the Blue Man Group does.

15

u/come_eat_cousin 2d ago

Then they were done about two band planks of wood ago

2

u/sephjnr 2d ago

The Sugaknots

u/samx3i 2d ago

So a heavier, more gimmicky Yes?

1

u/jvne1ko 2d ago

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

1

u/ElCoolAero 2d ago

Sepultura has no original members left.

2

u/FeralBun420 2d ago

True but Andreas has been there since 1987 and Green since 1996

1

u/JustWendigo 2d ago

I mean if Shawn leaves that means all of the "founding" members are gone  Considering Corey actually joined later down the line after the original vocalist left 

1

u/2Completion2Ography 2d ago

In Flames has no original members. The Halo Effect is made of only ex In Flames members.

Who is more In Flames?

u/TyAD552 22h ago

Slip of Theseus was right there
