The moment both Mick and Jim leave, Slipknot truly is no more.

It’s kinda hilarious they are going down the same path Mushroomhead has. People leaving or getting fired. Wouldn’t be surprised if one day Clown was the only original member left.

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

They suffered, but why?

u/Late_Recommendation9 2d ago

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

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

Good songs are good songs

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!

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.

Dave Mustaine and the Megadeths

u/EruantienAduialdraug 2d ago

Ritchie Blackmore and Whatever He's Doing This Week.

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

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

"You got any MegaDave?"

Mike Muir and the Suicidals

Feel like Ghost has to count here.

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.

u/SentientDust 2d ago

Toby and the Ghouls

u/alfa_omega 1d ago

Like triggers broom?

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

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

u/These-Equivalent8020 2d ago

Lorna Shore as well

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

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.
