Clearly, people still want to see the band. In some instances, fans get angry when a band continues, yet they can still sell out an arena. I don't think anyone would expect a band to break up when they have barely started. Should they have just stopped when they were in their 20s or 30s? Can you fault AC/DC for replacing Bon Scott after his unfortunate death? Brian Johnson took the reins and the band went on to sell tens of millions of albums. So what can a poor boy do.except sing for a rock n' roll band? The biggest classic rock bands out there all lost someone early in their career. Since then Robert Plant and Jimmy Page have collaborated here and there, but Plant refuses to reunite with Zeppelin. Having just released a live DVD of their performance at the O2 Arena in London for an Ahmet Ertegun benefit in 2007, the band stopped upon the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980. The band powered on.Īnother example in rock that has been on everyone's tongues lately, is Led Zeppelin. Prolific guitarist Brian Jones died in 1969, and guitarist Mick Taylor and bassist Bill Wyman left in the 80s. The Rolling Stones still have three original members, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, and even a long-time member since 1975, Ron Wood. The band never lost a beat and was in the middle of a tour when Entwistle died. Drummer Keith Moon died in 1978 and bassist John Entwistle died in 2002. The Who consists of two original members, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend. The 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy Benefit concert shed light on a few more bands that powered forward when they lost members, albeit a long time ago. This "reunion" was not completely leftfield. Novoselic lent his bass duties to that same album.
Smear, an on-again, off-again member of Foo Fighters, re-joined the band for their 2011 album, Wasting Light, during the band's most commercically successful run. It should be noted that this was not the first time Grohl, Novoselic and Smear have played together since their Nirvana days. When should a band end, and should surviving members ever get together and play again? General consensus on the performance was pleasantly surprised, but it summoned a touchy subject in rock n' roll. The song was a hard-rocker with an ordinary 4/4 beat and comeback-style lyrics such as "Set me freeee". The Southern rock-style main riff was a nice touch, and the song was surprisingly good. Instead, the guys busted out a new song they had come up with called Cut Me Some Slack. Nirvana diehards palpitated at the thought of Sir Paul singing lead on a Nirvana song think of any tune, it all sounded like disaster waiting to happen. As soon as the news broke on the morning of December 12th that these four would collaborate on stage, the Internet exploded with cries of derision, praise and disgust, as fans imagined what this combination of musicians would entail. on December 13th, Paul McCartney introduced the surviving members of Nirvana on stage at Madison Square Garden: Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear. Widely reported, speculated and finally executed at around 1:10 a.m. "I'm in the middle of a Nirvana reunion".
