Original members in a band - no replacments

Bands older than 25 years:

I can’t think of one band touring or releasing new music that still has its original lineup from day one (first major deal release).

Technically when Skinny Puppy started, Ogre and cEvin were the only two members.

rolling stones, aerosmith,fleetwood mac,a tribe called quest off the top of my head

aerosmith yes…thanks.

Stones no…Bill left the band

fleetwood mac…nope

a tribe called quest…yep.

SK…I guess that counts.

forgot about bill leaving the band.

hmm jungle brothers, de la soul, public enemy…

seems like it’s easier for me to come up with rap groups!

Yeah lets try to stick with Rockish stuff.

the cranberries (broke up but reunited)

Poison?

Poison?

nope.

but Motley Crue…yes, forgot this one.

the cranberries (broke up but reunited)

if they released a cd without the original member…that wouldn’t count.

U2…forgot them too.

nope, they didn’t release anything in their break, and reunited and recorded again.

this is a tough question. in the electronic side of things, I’d say Orbital, but like the cranberries they took a break for a couple of years as well before they put out another album.

edit: violent femmes

U2…forgot them too.

damn they slipped my mind…I KNEW that was the one band I just couldn’t think of, it was at the tip of my tongue

violent femmes…nope, drummer changed.

the adicts. they added a member, but its all still the originals as well.

violent femmes…nope, drummer changed.

changed, but came back, so technically the original band is still in tact from their first recordings in the early 80’s

B-52s for the most part. Keith died so they had to replace him. nope!

the adicts

nope.

The thought was straight from the beginning.

No dice!!!
