There are many "classic rock" bands that are still touring with only one or two original members. The vast majority of the crowd wouldn't know the difference. Foreigner is doing their farewell tour and there's no original band members! I saw the Black Crowes a couple years ago and apart from the Robinsons, I have no idea if any of the others were original members. Same as

QuoteVoodooLounge13 There are many bands with just a couple original members still - The Stones, The Who, AC/DC previously, hell even Metallica only has two original members!!! The difference is some of these bands have been carrying on with the same replacements for decades now. So long so that it’s become almost acceptable. This new incarnation of AC/DC is above and beyond that. It’s not much

Quotekeefgotsoul You can clearly hear a 2nd guitar in YCAGWYW at the rock n roll circus in 25x5. Yes, I mentioned this many years ago here. I believe it was mentioned that it was overdubbed afterwards. I was surprised when I first saw the R'n'R Circus and listening to YCAGWYW and Brian's guitar wasn't there.

Bit off topic but today the World Cup dates were announced and BC Place will host 7 games while Toronto will host 6! Doubt I'll going to any of the games, tickets will probably be very expensive. It'll be interesting to see the type of grass they lay in the stadium for the tournament. On another soccer note, Miami will be in town this spring to play the Whitecaps and tickets went pre

It seems a lot of country bands have multiple guitarists! I remember seeing Brooks and Dunn on the Tonight Show I believe, and they had just as many as the Eagles!

Congrats to US. One advantage Sweden would have is the North American players aren't used to playing on the larger ice surface like the Europeans are. Should be a good final game.
