Can anybody think of bands that have been going for at least 15 years since the release of their first album, that have never had a line-up change. On facebook I asked and got : Protest The Hero, Lamb Of God, Muse, Rammstein, Green Day and ZZ Top Close calls were: Queen, Rush, Tool, Slipknot who only changed one person and Metallica, who only changed bassists Can you think of any ? (Bands who go the opposite way include Annihilator, Megadeth and Cradle Of Filth.) -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

Yeah, plus the bassist retired. Still. If you count actual Queen Queen, then they are change free. ------------- My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

| Motorhead changed their line-up several times, but I think they are with the same members since 1992. |

| Blind Guardian have only changed a drummer once (since Bttalions of Fear), and that's after about 15 years. |

Tr� Cool has been in the band only since the second album, before that the drummer was John Kiffmeyer, aka Al Sobrante depending on the release. ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

Really ? I thought John and Tre were the same person. I assumed he just changed his name after the whole 1039 Smothed Out Slappy Hours period to a stage name. I never even thought it was another person... which actually seems more obvious looking at it written down now, lol. ------------- My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

NoMeansNo went through some guitarist changes, but the bassist and drummer have been the same for 33 years. -------------

If this counts, Dave Lombardo from Slayer did leave for a while and was replaced by a different drummer, but he eventually came back and the lineup today is still the original lineup. -------------

| I don't think Slayer really counts here, as Dave Lombardo did drop out a lot. |

Gamma Ray had many changes in the early days but has been stable since 1997. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Megadeth still has Dave Mustaine. :p Oh, and I think guys like Malmsteen get a pass, too, since he never let anyone else in on his thing to begin with.... Wait, that sounded weird.. |

Well... Megadeth has had more line-up changes so I wouldn't count them in.

LOL, I know, but he kind of IS Megadeth. Even though the group has had a ton of other great musicians, and even though the fact that he is the band is due to control issues (most likely), I thought I'd throw it out there! Anyway, you're right, they've had more lineup changes than most bands.  |

"Sal Abruscato" came out in 1994, came into place "Johnny Kelly" who stayed until the death of "Peter Steele" that resulted in the break-up. (Type O Negative) |
