How many bands are still going without any original members?
In view of the Sugababes still going without any original members are there any other bands who are doing the same.
Thin Lizzy are still doing the Rock Circuit but for me thats a insult to the name. Brotherhood of man started with a different line up but only had one Hit before the new one took over and had many more hits. are there any more and were they sucsessful? |

Deep Purple and The Moody Blues only have one original member left, although they both have three from their greatest eras, so their ongoing excellence is to be expected.

Do lynard skynard (prob spelt wrong)
on the works laptop and far too slow to google it. late edit : calling girl groups that just prance about on a stage with just a mic calling them a band is laughable. I just dont get why they are called a band. |

I'm sure The Pussycat Dolls started with members that are not in the current line up.

There are plenty of bands Evanescence, They only have one original member, Status Quo for a time I think.
Napalm Death, Juda Priest only have one member left from the original line up. The Pipettes, I think The Temptations, Thin Lizzy. There's probably more. Lynard Skynryd's only constant is Johnny I think. |

Marilyn Manson have had a squillion different line ups, with only the lead singer of the same name staying put. Nine Inch Nails are the same, as are Moi Dix Mois. Funny thing is, the one thing those three bands have in common is that they're essentially one bloke with a load of interchangeable hired hands. The last two more than MM- In MM Twiggy at least wrote music. But Nine Inch Nails is just singer Trent Reznor writing, composing producing everything and Moi Dix Mois is the same with guitarist Mana writing, composing and producing.
So yeah, one-man-plus-some-assistants type bands are fickle. Also Aikaryu, who were only together about 4 or 5 years maximum, had a pretty impressive turnover rate. I don't know how many originals lasted the duration, but I'm leaning towards none or one, two at the most. |

The Drifters, and the British jazz group The Temperance Seven are the only bands still performing without any original members, that I can think of right now.

Not WITH ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER. Oooh-oooh I know they have one original member but I was going to mention The Fall. However, it would seem inappropriate to do so now the post police have turned up with their pedantic siren making a noise (sirens and flashing lights are seperate as any good pedant knows). |

To myself and clearly others; No original members - interesting, unusual. One or two original members - ...................and? |

tbh, it's utterly pointless to keep a band going if every member has left, this sugababes seems more like a brandname than a band

It's not pedantic if people are ignoring a clear question and answering another instead. The OP was asking about bands with no original members, not bands with one or two original members. That's a pretty big difference and the amount of bands in the latter situation is endless and common, unlike those with no original members.

Back in 1999 when I saw them in Nashville The Platters only had one original member left-the bass player-as the others were all dead. I don't know if he is still there or whether they're actually still going.
