when is a band no longer a band ?
have you ever considered this question ? i think its kinda interesting like ok say you have a band like incubus.. incubus changed bass players in 2004 but incubus was still 'incubus' even with a different bass player what if the bass player and the drummer left? would it still be incubus? what if brandon boyd left? would it still be incubus? consider the band called orgy.. jay gordon is the lead singer.. i read somewhere that he wants to continue doing songs under the name 'orgy' however at this point he is the only original band member left if the band changed 3 members and the only original member left is the lead singer.. should they still use that band name? or is it more based on what part you play.. are bass players and drummers more expendable than guitarists? are guitarists more expendable than vocalists? how much can you change and still be the same? honestly its kinda bad but part of me thinks the lead singer is the most important part.. because that voice is the only 'instrument' that can't be replaced also.. if they wrote their own lyrics.. you can't recreate that style either but still i hate to think a drummer or a bass player or someone can be thrown under the bus so easily.. i hate to think they can be tossed aside its an interesting debate imo
