Мнения читателей: пять рок-групп, чей успех вырос благодаря смене состава
После публикации статьи о коллективах, чья популярность возросла после ухода оригинальных музыкантов, читатели OutKick предложили дополнить этот список. Мы проанализировали наиболее обсуждаемые варианты и подготовили расширенную версию.Группа Journey начинала свой путь в 1973 году как джаз-фьюжн коллектив, где Грегг Роли совмещал функции клавишника и вокалиста. Переход к формату с выделенным фронтменом стал поворотным моментом: приходом Стива Перри группа обрела мировое признание, получила статус легенд рока и обеспечила себе миллионные продажи альбомов.Несмотря на успех эпохи Дэвида Ли Рота, Van Halen достигли невероятных радио-рекордов с приходом Сэмми Хагера. Хотя смена вокалиста была неожиданной для фанатов, период «Van Hagar» принес группе серию хитов, таких как «Panama» и «Jump», позволив коллективу сохранить коммерческие позиции на уровне своих ранних достижений.Fleetwood Mac претерпели значительную трансформацию после ухода Питера Грина в 1970 году. Переход от блюз-рока к поп-ориентированному звучанию произошел благодаря дуэту Стеви Никс и Линзи Баксингема. Их творческий союз и умение создавать запоминающиеся мелодии превратили группу в одного из самых успешных исполнителей 1970-х с такими хитами, как «Dreams» и «Go Your Own Way».Группа The Eagles уже имела статус суперзвездов к 1975 году, но приход Джо Уолша после ухода Берни Лидона вывел их на новый уровень. С участием Уолша коллектив выпустил свои наиболее знаковые альбомы, включая «Hotel California», а гитарное мастерство нового участника внесло неоценимый вклад в историю рок-музыки.Наконец, одним из самых значимых изменений в истории рока стала замена Сида Барретта на Дэвида Гилмора в Pink Floyd. Если под руководством Барретта группа представляла собой экспериментальный психоделический коллектив, то с приходом Гилмора их звучание обрело ту глубину и узнаваемость, которые сделали Pink Floyd одной из самых влиятельных групп всех времен.
OutKick readers sound off: Five more famous rock band replacements we might have missed
We asked and you delivered!This past weekend, my good buddy Matt Reigle and I put together a list of six bands who got better or more successful after replacing original members.Now that there is a dedicated comments section to our articles, we were able to see plenty of our readers sound off on who we missed, so now we are going to go through some of the most discussed omissions, according to you, our dear readers.Without further ado, let's right some wrongs!FOREIGNER LEAD SINGER KELLY HANSON SURPRISES FANS WITH NEWS ABOUT BAND'S FUTUREWhen Journey formed in San Francisco in 1973, they did so with Gregg Rolie pulling double duty on keyboards and lead vocals.The band spent the next few years toiling away as a jazz fusion group, but when they finally decided to make a change and bring in a dedicated vocalist to allow Rolie to focus solely on keyboard duties, they had no idea the diminutive Steve Perry (no relation) would be the key to unlocking their success.Every massive hit Journey has ever produced has been with Perry at the helm, and they certainly owe their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and millions of albums sold to their front man.NEAL SCHON AND BANDMATE JONATHAN CAIN BATTLE LAWSUITS AND POLITICS AS JOURNEY'S FAREWELL TOUR ROLLS ONThe '80s wouldn't have been the same without the marriage of Steve Perry and Journey, so they deserve a spot on this list.This one pains me as a Roth-era Van Halen fan, but there is no denying the band found incredible radio success with new frontman Sammy Hagar in the fold.It could be argued Van Halen was the biggest act in the world by 1985, so it came as a complete shock when they decided to jettison their acrobatic lead singer and go back to the drawing board.SAMMY HAGAR’S DREAM ABOUT EDDIE VAN HALEN INSPIRED HIM TO WRITE A NEW SONG WITH LATE ROCKERWith hits like "Panama," "Jump" and "Hot for Teacher" catapulting them to superstar status, it was thought that no one would be able to fill the shoes left by Diamond Dave.Enter Sammy Hagar, the fuzzy-headed solo act behind radio staples like "I Can't Drive 55" and "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy," and the rest is rock history.With a slew of radio-friendly hits over the next decade, it's safe to say "Van Hagar" didn't miss a beat with the new guy behind the microphone.I love both iterations of the band, and while it's hard to argue the band got "better" with Hagar in tow, they were certainly able to at least replicate their success from the '70s and early '80s.Most of you reading this know Fleetwood Mac thanks to their monster pop efforts from the mid to late '70s like "Rumours" as well as their 1975 self-titled album.What you may not know is the band started as a blues rock outfit in the late 60s with a man named Peter Green taking lead vocal duties.FLEETWOOD MAC CO-FOUNDER HOLDS ONTO ‘FANTASY’ THAT STEVIE NICKS AND LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM WILL END FEUDGreen exited in 1970 and the band entered a transitional period before settling on the singer/songwriter duo of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.Nicks and Buckingham's penchant for brilliant and catchy melodies coupled with their creative and romantic tensions made Fleetwood Mac a musical tour de force, and the band became one of the most successful acts of the 1970s.You couldn't go five minutes without hearing songs like "Go Your Own Way," "Dreams" or "Don't Stop" while flipping through your radio dial, and the addition of the on-again, off-again lovers is a big reason for that.The Eagles were already one of the most popular bands in America by 1975, so much so that they had a greatest hits album from that year that would go on to be one of the best-selling records of all time.How do you improve upon that success?Well, you go out and get Joe Walsh to replace one of your guitarists and then lay down what is, perhaps, the most iconic rock song in music history.EAGLES GUITARIST'S PARKINSONISM DIAGNOSIS FORCES HIM INTO RETIREMENTWhen tensions started to arise between guitarist and founding member Bernie Leadon and the rest of the group, The Eagles put out a "help wanted" sign and ended up with solo act Joe Walsh.With Walsh on board, the quintet would release two of their most critically and commercially successful albums in their discography, "Hotel California" and "Long Run."The title track for the former also contains one of the most recognizable guitar solos of the 20th century, courtesy of Walsh and Don Felder.Just for that contribution alone, Walsh would have found his way onto this list.If there was one band who got mentioned more than any other in the comments section of our previous article, it was Pink Floyd.I caught a lot of flak for not including them (though if you took the time to watch our video, we included them in our honorable mentions, but I digress), so here I am to make amends.It was a crying shame not including the great David Gilmour in our article of band replacements, because he might be the most notable of them all.Never has there been a more drastic change in trajectory for a band than when Gilmour stepped in for the mercurial Syd Barrett.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!Under Barrett's lead, the band was a psychedelic outfit that had potential but was a little too eclectic to ever make it to the universal heights they would achieve in their later years.Gilmour's iconic guitar sound and smooth vocals paired perfectly with the songwriting chops of bassist Roger Waters, and although the two can't stand each other, they made some of the most iconic music in history.Pink Floyd is arguably one of the most popular and influential rock bands of all time, and they wouldn't hold that distinction if it weren't for the addition of David Gilmour.I will take my lumps like a man for not including this one on our list. Gilmour is a legend and deserves his place among the pantheon of great rock replacements.
