 Topic: One-man bands
Posted: February 16 2005 at 11:27 |
|
There are certain bands that couldn't survive the departure of one member. Right now, I'm thinking about The Doors: after Morrison's death. the band falls apart. Maybe Queen is another one, except that even before Mercury gones they already were practically out of business. Any other example?

Maybe Zeppelin couldn't deal with Boham's death, I'm not so sure about this fact (Rob the Plant sure have an answer to this).

Can't agree with that Reed, after the departure of Fish, both Fish as Marillion survived pretty well without each other. Just never reached the quality they possessed together.
Can't think of any band that faded into oblivion after the departure of one member.

Zeppelin where already at the end of their road, it was a good time to stop.
Page tried to get Plant into XYZ, but that project was put on a shelf after one rehearsal with Plant (XYZ = Page, Squire and White it ment eX-Yes-Zeppelin). some of the works were later used by the Firm and by Yes if I'm correct.

Led Zeppelin felt they couldn't continue without Bonham.
Sometimes bands don't know when to give up and go on forever producing inferior music like Black Sabbath ...
BUT i heard that The Doors have re-grouped with (Ray Manzarek heading i think) and released some new material according to a friend of mine, and its supposed to be pretty impressive too. Queen are touring with Paul Rodgers from Free soon too, be interesting to see how that goes.

STEVE HACKETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you compare the solo career work of Collins, Banks, Rutherford & Hackett, then Hackett's one is the most elaborated! Genesis slowly died, starting fron ATTWT.

By one man bands I hoped you were going to discuss, literally one
man bands, e.g.Todd Rundgren (if only for one of two albums),
Emitt Rhodes, Duster Bennett. And the legendary Don Partridge who had a
marvellous no. one hit Rosie in the 60's, busked my town's centre for one year in the early 90's (refusing to acknowledge let alone play Rosie) and then disappeared.

Woah, I'll have to disagree there. I think Black Sabbath did some of their best work in their Post-Ozzy years.

I was listening to Heaven & Hell last night! It is an excellant heavy rock album and Dio is a superb rock vocalist.
You must be psychic John-I was playing it whilst I was winding you up!

The Dio album's are great... Particularly DEHUMANIZER. It has some of Iommi's heaviest, doomiest riffs (harking back to the Ozzy days) but with Dio at the helm, making it one of their very best albums, IMO. And, of course, HEAVEN AND HELL is a total classic. Favorite cut on that one is "Die Young."

I like Heaven and Hell too but thats the last decent album they made. Dehumanizer is a travesty, they should just lay the ghost.

I'll have to agree that it is / was inferior music.
I heard them live in about '71 or so and it was the audio equivalent to smelling raw sewage...
But to be honest / objective...never really heard any of their stuff after they dumped Ozzy, perhaps it was better...
BTW, Ozzy's father-in-law advised Sharon (apparently around the time
they first met) not to get close to the guy, "he's a loser..."

Genesis died very slowly though. I wanna say "Genesis" was their last album with anything slighty good on it. ATTWT in my opinion is a contiuation of Wind & Wuthering. I could listen to those back to back.
