I realized that Valory was the only remaining band from the original Journey lineup.
I was wondering if any band ever achieved to completely rotate the staff until there was no founding member left.
And also, how flipping weird would that be?

BTW, Valory might be an original member but he did leave for a while before coming back.

| | | | Neal Schon is an original member of Journey and is the only continuous member of the band since its inception.
The original members of Journey came together in San Francisco in 1973 under the auspices of former Santana manager Herbie Herbert. Originally called the Golden Gate Rhythm Section and intended to serve as a backup group for established Bay Area artists, the band included recent Santana alumni Neal Schon on lead guitar and Gregg Rolie on keyboards and lead vocals. Bassist Ross Valory and Rhythm guitarist George Tickner, both of Frumious Bandersnatch, and drummer Prairie Prince of The Tubes rounded out the group. They soon changed the band name to Journey. After an unsuccessful radio contest to name the group, roadie John Villaneuva suggested the name "Journey." |

And also, how flipping weird would that be? | King Crimson....theyhave had something like a total of 18-20 different musicians considered full band members. Between 69-74 they went through almost a total change over, then broke up in like 78. When they reformed in 81 it was no original memebers.

That's strange once you think about.

Ian McDonald and Michael Giles left in 1969 in the middle of a tour. Greg Lake was the next member to leave, departing in early 1970 after being approached by Keith Emerson and going on to form ELP. This left Fripp as the only remaining musician in the band. Then sometime in 72 or there abouts Fripp fired the lyrisist, Sinfied. Then Fripp killed Crimson in late 74 for the first time. He also quit for periods of time (short) trying to get he band to stay together to fulfill contracts, but other members finally left. Fripp has really been the only member that is on every single Crimson release.

I've heard people drone on and on about how great every other member is, but nobody's ever even brought up the drummer's name. |

Johnston and Simmons have been touring with the Doobie Brothers for years now. Here's a link to a site outlining their history. I guess Johnston is technically the only remaining original member, but Simmons came in very early in their history.

Simmons did join them for the farewell tour in 82 so I don't think they ever did an album without him (at the end) but they toured without an original member. Originally the Doobies or what became them was Johnston and Hartman and sometimes Skip Spence (From Moby Grape) and a bunch of others that came and went. But the first time they called themselves the Doobie Brothers it was Johnston, Hartman, Shrogen and Simmons. In the studio they would often have other players but that was the lineup when they toured.

Porter & Michael Hossack were on the follow-up, Toulouse Street.
Those hits were from Toulouse Street; it is Porter on that album, not Shogren. A big difference in vibe between the debut & Toulouse Street, IMO.

They re-recorded the bands hits w/ a young lineup a few years ago (on the cd was written that they had original members blessing to carry on the name)...
That lineup is now all gone but the drummer- but original member Dave Hlubek is back and some veteran players are there as well and they sound outstanding  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
