This is when a band becomes notable for a constantly changing lineup, with musicians coming, staying for only a few years (or sometimes even less than a year) and then leaving. Essentially, the musical Sub-Trope of Revolving Door Casting. The musicians' time spent with the band is important; just because most (or even all) of a band's lineup has changed doesn't automatically qualify it for this trope. Here's a clarifying non-example: The original lineup of the Four Tops was Levi Stubbs, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson and Lawrence Payton. All but one (Fakir) either died or became too ill to stay with the band and were replaced (they were even a trio for a while); one of the replacements (Theo Peoples) left in 2011 and was himself replaced. But these changes were few and far between: they were Stubbs, Benson, and Fakir from 1997 to 1998 (when Peoples joined); Stubbs, Benson, Fakir, and Peoples from 1998 to 2000 (when Stubbs suffered a stroke and was replaced by Ronnie McNeir), McNeir, Benson, Fakir, and Peoples from 2000-2005 (when Benson died and was replaced by Roquel Peyton, Lawrence's son), McNeir, Peyton Jr., Fakir, and Peoples from 2005-2011 (when Peoples left and was replaced by Harold "Spike" Bonhart), and McNeir, Peyton Jr., Fakir, and Bonhart from 2011-2019 when Bonhart was replaced by Alexander Morris. It can be anything from a single position having a different musician from time to time, to the second type of I Am the Band, to its Logical Extreme: the very nature of the group ensuring it goes through lineups on a regular basis. In short, it's a band that makes the phrase Musical Musicians not redundant. For when this happens to the cast of a Long Runner series or a series of films, see Long-Runner Cast Turnover. A good hint is whether a whole article on band members is needed. This is sometimes an artifact of which musicians are “the band� according to the record company contracts. Yes had many members rotating in and out, but the rights to the band name were owned to his dying day by Chris Squire. Paramore is a band because Hayley Williams insisted she didn’t want to be a solo artist, but the record contracts have always been signed by Williams alone. Not to be confused with I Am the Band, where the bandleader(s) will cheerfully tell you it’s just them and whatever musicians happen to be standing nearby at the time. NOTE: It is not unheard of for a band to fit both this and Long-Runner Line-up. |

Against Me! initially started as an acoustic solo act by Laura Jane Grace, who then recruited Kevin Mahon to play drums. This duo recorded a few demo cassettes together. Then Kevin was fired, and bassist Dustin Fridkin came into the fold. Grace and Fridkin then recorded together before guitarist James Bowman and drummer Warren Oakes were hired. The lineup of Grace, Bowman, Fridkin, and Oakes recorded the band's first full-length album, Reinventing Axl Rose. Fridkin then left and was replaced by Andrew Seward. The Grace-Bowman-Seward-Oakes era remained constant until Oakes left (or was fired, depending on whom one talks to) after their major-label debut New Wave. George Rebelo of fellow punk band Hot Water Music recorded their next album White Crosses as drummer before leaving to return to Hot Water Music. He was then replaced by Jay Weinberg, son of Max. The lineup of Grace-Bowman-Seward-Weinberg managed to record a single, "Russian Spies / Occult Enemies" together. This lineup also attempted to record the band's next full-length album Transgender Dysphoria Blues together, but this didn't materialize. Weinberg quit via Twitter, and Seward left amicably. The album was recorded with Atom Willard on drums, with Grace handling bass herself on the album save for two songs, which were recorded by Fat Mike of NOFX. After a few years of Inge Johansson of The (International) Noise Conspiracy handling bass duties, Seward returned in 2018. The current lineup is now Grace, Bowman, Seward, and Willard, or about 3/4 of the band's classic lineup, after a brief hiatus during Covid when the band stopped talking to eachother and Laura recorded some solo material. | |

The Black Crowes are the brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, and whoever else they can get to play with them at the time. Drummer Steve Gorman comes the closest to being the third constant, having joined the band in their second year, and only missing a couple months after they reformed (after their first breakup). When the band reunited in 2019, the Robinson brothers hired a new backing band. | |

Hi-5. None of the line-up for the original Australian incarnation have been around since the beginning (in fact, the latest "lineup" was comprised of non-permanent performers for touring purposes since the entire 2017 lineup left at the end of the following year). In fact, the lineup has changed so many times that Australian Minister for Communications Mitch Fifield once jokingly stated that he thinks the thing that should most worry parents is "the ever-changing ensemble that makes up Hi-5". | |

Faith No More went through a flurry of lineup changes in the early to mid-'80s, then replaced the lead singer with a skinny kid from another band and stayed constant for a few years. Cue a quick series of guitarists before the breakup. Since the reformation in 2009, they've kept the same lineup from their last studio album in 1997. | |

Green Jellÿ is Bill Manspeaker and a parade of others. The lineup that recorded the band's Top 40 hit "Three Little Pigs" included Maynard James Keenan and Danny Carey, the two of whom later formed tool. In fact, the current lineup is comprised of so-called "franchise bands", a concept which allows Manspeaker to fly to a state one weekend, meet his franchise band at the airport, play three shows, and fly home before starting the process all over again the next weekend in a new state with a new franchise band. | |

The Temptations: Only Otis Williams — ironically, the member with the fewest lead vocal parts — survives from either one of the group's classic lineups (the ones fronted by David Ruffin, and later by Dennis Edwards). The group has undergone dozens of lineup changes since forming in the 1960s, even in their hitless early days, but especially after "classic" members like Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams left for one reason or another. Bass singer Melvin Franklin was, like Otis Williams, a mainstay of the Tempts since their formation, until his death in 1995. Those two co-owned the group's name. | |

Taking Back Sunday started off with Antonio Longo (vocals) John Nolan (vocals/guitar) Eddie Reyes (guitar) Jesse Lacey (bass) and Stephen DeJoseph (drums). By their first album, Lacey, Longo and DeJoseph had left and were replaced by Adam Lazzara (vocals), Shaun Cooper (bass) and Mark O'Connell (drums). After Tell All Your Friends (2002) Nolan and Cooper departed to form Straylight Run and were replaced by Fred Mascherino (vocals/guitar) and Matt Rubano (bass). This line up lasted a lengthy (by TBS standards) two albums before Mascherino left after Louder Now, eventually being replaced by Matt Fazzi for New Again. Following New Again. Fazzi and Rubano departed and Nolan and Cooper rejoined, restoring the band to its breakthrough line-up for its past three albums. | |

The Ocean was this for the first nine years of existence. Over 20 musicians appeared on certain albums, and in the beginning, the band lineups were never consistent from one album to the next. Since 2009 they've had a far more stable line up of five members. | |

The Gentrys were formed in 1963 when seven Memphis high school classmates got together. They broke through nationally in 1965 when "Keep on Dancing" became a Top 5 Billboard hit. After a series of unsuccessful follow-ups, several members dropped out and were replaced, before they finally broke up in 1967. Then in 1969, one of the founding members, Jimmy Hart, formed an entirely new band with himself as the frontman, and resurrected the Gentrys name, becoming huge in the Memphis area while scoring a few minor national hits. But even that edition of The Gentrys had major turnover, with Hart as the only constant. The Gentrys (mark 2) eventually broke up for good in 1972, and Hart became a pro wrestling personality shortly thereafter. | |

The Melvins have had a serious problem with keeping a bassist. While the two founding members have been around since the band's inception they have gone through six official bassists and multiple stand-ins/auditions. Kurt Cobain even auditioned but was rejected because he got so nervous he forgot all of their songs. | |

Guns N' Roses took its name partially from lead guitarist Tracii Guns, who was replaced in its first few months and restarted L.A. Guns (the band that had merged to form Guns n' Roses). But shortly thereafter, they found a fairly stable lineup consisting of Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (Lead Guitar), Izzy Stradlin (Rhythm Guitar), Duff McKagan (Bass) and Steven Adler (Drums). The early '90s began to wear on the group, with Steven fired after not being able to get his drug habit under control, Izzy leaving because he sobered up and wanted to stay that way, and Axl's ego running away with him, along with whatever sanity he may have once had. His treating the band like it was his and his alone drove away Slash, Duff and eventually Matt Sorum (Steven's replacement) leaving Axl with, essentially, whomever he could get to tour with him. Since the dissolution of the classic line-up, there have been four lead guitarists, five rhythm guitarists, four drummers, two keyboardists and one other bassist. Few but the most hardcore of fans can name any of them. Slash and Duff rejoined the band in 2016. | |

Annihilator. Since their beginning, they have had a whopping 24 former members, and that's excluding the ones who left and came back. Guitarist Jeff Waters is the only constant member, though they've had Dave Padden as their singer for almost 9 years. | |

Seattle punk band Fastbacks were famous for their inability to keep a regular drummer, the official count is somewhere between 15 and 20. Among the band's drummers were Duff McKagan (later the guitarist of Guns N' Roses), John Moen (later of The Decemberists), Dan Peters of Mudhoney and Jason Finn of The Presidents of the United States of America. The band eventually settled on a permanent drummer, Mike Musberger, who stuck with them for a decade until the band's 2002 split. | |

UK newspapers actually more or less invoked this trope when the last original Sugababe had a breakdown and "quit", which meant Sugababes replaced all three of its original members over the last 12 years or so. To add to the Sugababes mess, as soon as the last original member (Keisha) left, there was immediately talk of the original three reforming as a new band, which ultimately became a reality three years later. In 2019, the three original members discarded their new band and regained the Sugababes brand and name, meaning the original line-up are officially back in action as the Sugababes for the first time in nineteen years, releasing new music and a re-issue of their 2000 debut album in 2021. |

Whitesnake were infamous for their constant personnel changes during the mid-80s. Infamously, David Coverdale fired all his band members who played on their best-selling album Whitesnake after the album's sessions finished, even though they had only played on that album. The current post-2003 lineup enjoyed relative stability for a while but in 2010 not one, not two, but THREE members left. The Other Wiki has a page dedicated to the various Whitesnake line-ups over the years. | |

In its nearly 40-year history, Journey has chewed up and spit out six lead vocalists, six drummers, three keyboardists, and three bassists, with several of those revolving door personnel lasting less than a year. The only person who has been ever-present since the band's founding in 1973 is lead guitarist Neal Schon, although keyboardist Jonathan Cain has also been a constant since 1980. | |

Northern Irish Punk band Stiff Little Fingers have gone through four drummers, three bassists (including losing their original bassist just before they got a record deal and replacement Ali McMordie leaving in the early '90s and coming back in the late 2000s) and two guitarists in their time together. Only lead singer, guitarist, and lyricist Jake Burns has been a constant member. | |

Mike + the Mechanics were a supergroup formed by Genesis guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford in 1985 as a vehicle for his solo compositions, after Rutherford had produced one solo album, Smallcreep's Day, in 1980 with a different singer throughout, followed by 1982's Acting Very Strange, which had Rutherford himself singing. They comprised of Rutherford, keyboardist Adrian Lee, vocalist Paul Young (not the "Everytime You Go Away" one) of Sad Café, keyboardist/vocalist Paul Carrack (ex-Squeeze) and drummer Peter Van Hooke of Manfred Mann. By 2004's Rewired, particularly after Young's death, the band had been reduced to Rutherford and Carrack; the album was credited to "Mike + The Mechanics featuring Paul Carrack". Rutherford formed a completely new lineup for the album's follow-up, "The Road". | |

Woe, Is Me was only active for about four years, and their constant lineup shifts might have played a hand in that. They blew through no less than eight different musicians (most notably Tyler Carter and Michael Bohn who started Issues) in two years and their final lineup only lasted for one album before calling it quits (and even then Austin Thorton was kicked out shortly after Genesis dropped). The only consistent member was guitarist Kevin Hanson. | |

Kansas has had a large number of musicians who have joined, left, rejoined, and re-left the band. Each tour might have a different set of musicians depending upon who is up for touring at any given time. Most of the departures seem amicable, as those members occasionally help out later tours and/or records. The only stable members are drummer Phil Ehart (who had a short-term replacement on one tour so he could focus on being the manager) and guitarist Rich Williams. Lead vocalist and keyboardist Steve Walsh has been there nearly the same length of time, only being gone from about 1981 to 1986. His short-term replacement, John Elefante, has never returned, though he was invited to rejoin in 2014 after Steve Walsh's retirement (he respectfully declined). Guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter/founder Kerry Livgren often reappears on tour. Original bassist Dave Hope occasionally reappears, but current bassist Billy Greer has been around since 1986, although at one point they were both bassists at the same time! Touring keyboardist Greg Robert was officially a member in the early '90s, but permanently retired after 10 years and has not rejoined. Violinists Robby Steinhardt and David Ragsdale have also alternated through the years, each bringing different benefits -Steinhardt contributes original vocals, which don't seem to have deteriorated over the years, unlike Steve Walsh. However, when not singing or playing the violin, he pretty much stands around uselessly on stage, as opposed to David Ragsdale, whose ability to play guitar allows him to contribute to every song all of the time. And as of August 2014, long time singer Steve Walsh has retired after forty-one years to be replaced by Ronnie Platt. Following that, they added longtime contributors David Manion and Zak Rizvi on keyboards and guitars, respectively. | |

Kittie aren't as extreme an example as others in this section, as they've had two consistent members of the band for their entire tenure — sisters Morgan and Mercedes Lander (guitar/vocals, and drums, respectively). Meanwhile, the lead guitar and bass spots have undergone changes between every album, stemming from a combination of label conflicts, financial struggles, and other, more tragic reasons. As a nod to this, the Lander sisters performed with three different lineups at Kittie's 20th anniversary concert. | |

Controversial group Mayhem went through so many line-up changes in its first almost-decade of existence that by 1993, when Euronymous was stabbed to death by Count Grishnakh during the recording of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, the former was the only founding member still in the band and the latter was the third bassist; Attila Csihar, the fifth vocalist, would only return to the band a decade later. Mayhem's line-ups have been relatively stable since it reformed in 1995, though it has had five different guitarists since Euronymous. | |

Static-X's only consistent members were lead vocalist/guitarist Wayne Static and bassist Tony Campos. Pretty much everyone else kept changing throughout the band's career until their breakup in 2010, with Static continuing his solo career, and Campos joining Soulfly.

Renaissance was originally formed by two former members of The Yardbirds, lead singer Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarty, with Relf's sister Jane and two other members. The band released their debut album in 1969, but fractured while recording the second. Shortly after that second album was completed, the last two original members, Jane Relf and keyboardist John Hawken, left Renaissance. Guitarist Michael Dunford and singer Annie Halsam joined in 1970 and 1971 respectively, and the lineup stabalized under their leadership. Dunford, Halsam, keyboardist John Tout, bassist Jon Camp, and drummer Terry Sullivan are considered to be Renaissance's classic lineup and stayed together from 1973 to 1980, but none of them were original members. The latter three left between 1980 and 1985, and the band broke up in 1987. When Dunford and Halsam reformed the band in 1998, and again in 2009, they continued it with rotating replacements until Dunford died in 2012. Halsam now leads Renaissance with a lineup of members mostly recurited in the 2000s and 2010s. | |

Senses Fail's only constant member is singer/arranger/lyricist James "Buddy" Nielsen. Their first bassist and secondary songwriter Mike Glita left the band after the second album due to interpersonal problems, guitarist and Vocal Tag Team Heath Saraceno left in 2010, to be replaced by Zach Roach. Garrett Zabrocki left shortly after Heath, and the band has subsequently lost its sole other founding member, drummer Dan Trapp, to be replaced by Chris Hornbrook. This was quite an unpopular decision because of Trapp's skill on drums. The rest of the band aside from Nielsen, current guitarist and fill-in bassist Gavin Casswell, and Chris Hornbrook, are all touring members. | |

AC/DC was founded in 1973. Five years later, they were on their second vocalist, seventh bassist, and eighth drummer. Two years later, they had to replace the vocalist again after the incumbent one died. However, the lineup has stabilized since, with only a few personnel changes. And one drummer case takes the "Revolving" part to the extreme: Chris Slade was replaced in 1994 by the returning Phil Rudd (said eighth drummer, who recorded the band's best-known albums such as Back in Black), and replaced Rudd in 2015 once he was arrested and consequently expelled from the band. Between 2014 and 2016, four of the band's five longstanding members all left, with just founding guitarist Angus Young remaining from the Long-Runner Line-up that had existed just a few years prior. Three of those band members (Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd) rejoined AC/DC in 2018. | |

ETHS lasted from 1999 to 2017 and the sum of all members of the various line-ups is eight different members (usually four or five at the same time). The only one who remains for the whole duration was the guitarist Staif. In a more literal example than most of the other ones, most of the initial line-up came back to perform during the band's final tour in 2017. The band's frontman (Candice Clot, the initial main vocalist) herself only played from 1999 to 2012 (and then again during the final tour). | |

The Faceless. Only person who has been on all the albums is guitarist and clean vocalist Michael Keene. From their origin in 2004, they are on their third bassist, second rhythm guitarist, second harsh vocalist, and sixth drummer, and they're now looking for their third rhythm guitarist due to Wes Hauch's departure. As of 2014, this reached its logical extreme when everyone save for Keene left within the span of a couple months. Then it happened again in 2018 where everyone save Keene left the band, leading to another member search. | |

The Cure has had 12 members since 1976, but the only consistent member has been lead singer Robert Smith. The longest-serving member after Smith, bassist Simon Gallup, joined in 1979 and is still a member today, but even he was out of the band for three years in the mid-'80s. This might not sound a lot, but pretty much all of their thirteen albums have an entirely different mix of members, past and present, performing on it. Additionally, there are multiple instances of former members returning to the lineup. Apart from Gallup, keyboardist Roger O'Donnell and co-founding guitarist Porl Thompson have returned to the band for long stretches after some time away. |

Battlefield Band has had at least two dozen members over its fifty-year history, many of whom such as Brian McNeill and Karine Polwart have gone on to solo careers. Current fiddler Alasdair White grew up listening to the group before joining at eighteen. | |

Iron Butterfly went through 59 lineups (Arguably 60, but the Doug Ingle/Ron Bushy/Erik Braunn/Lee Dorman happened twice, and is the version of the group that recorded their best known song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida") in 46 years—including hiatuses. None of these members, not even relative constants Ingle and Bushy, have been in the band consistently since its formation. | |

Exhumed is up there with Napalm Death and Incantation as far as the sheer amount of former personnel goes; thanks to their hard-touring nature, members come and go often and with little warning, necessitating frequent live fill-ins. It's kind of telling when a band that just got back together a couple years ago has already had a near-total lineup change in just a little over a year. | |

The Fall were well known for line-up changes, the only constant being Mark E. Smith, who once said of the ever-changing line-up "if it's me and your granny on bongos, it's a Fall gig." British journalist Dave Simpson wrote a book, The Fallen: Life In and Out of Britain's Most Insane Group, about trying to find all of the ex-members (there were fifty). That said, the dynamic duo of Craig Scanlon and Steve Hanley held down the fort from 1979 'til 1995, which is damn impressive. Not coincidentally, they're also the only members of the band that Smith ever regretted firing (he asked them both to come back at different points, and both declined). For a band so famous for its lineup changes, The Fall's membership was relatively stable in its last decade. The band recorded five albums with the same lineup between 2008 and 2015, the most in its history. Until keyboardist Elena Poulou left the group in 2016, the band was on its longest unchanged lineup in its history. |

Some of whom were tour or temporary replacements. Guitarist Zakk Wylde is on his fourth stint, having first joined the band in 1987. Ronnie James Dio's solo band, Dio, went through seven guitarists, six bassists, two drummers, and three keyboardists. |

The Sun Ra Arkestra. Sun Ra would fire a musician by gathering the band together — minus the fired musician — and skip town, leaving the offending musician behind. He would even do this on international tours, which made him a major headache for the U.S. State Department — they finally demanded that if he fired a musician, he had to bring or send said musician back to the United States instead of leaving him stranded in a foreign country. | |

Iron Maiden, as the documentary The Early Days, Part 1 has shown. There were many line-up changes before the first album in a 5-years span. After their first album, the band began to slowly stabilize - their first four records all have different line-ups, but the addition of Nicko McBrain in Piece Of Mind solidified the band's classic lineup of Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Steve Harris and McBrain, and though Smith left between 1990-1999 and Dickinson from 1993-1999, the lineup reformed in 1999 for Brave New World, retaining Smith's replacement Janick Gers as third guitarist. This six-man lineup remains as of 2021. | |

Civil War, formed by ex-members of Sabaton (with their own entry below), with Nils Patrik Johannson as lead vocalist. They added a third guitarist in 2014, but then one of the ex-Sabaton guitarists and the bassist quit in 2014, and they fired Johannson due to personal problems in 2016 and replaced him with Kelly Sundown Carpenter. And then they fired guitarist Rikard Sundén in 2021 over a sex crimes conviction, replacing him with his own previous replacement in Sabaton, Thobbe Englund. At present the only remaining founding members are drummer Daniel Mullback and keyboardist Daniel Mÿhr. | |

Before 2013, Anthrax had trouble keeping a lead vocalist (Joey Belladonna is currently on his third stint) and lead guitarist.

Brazilian metal legends Sepultura have no original members left, including the founding Cavalera brothers (Max was replaced by American expat Derrick Green, and Igor was replaced by Jean Dolabella and then by Eloy Casagrande). Surprisingly enough, albums still get made and tours still happen, with guitarist Andreas Kisser and bassist Paulo Jr. being the glue that holds the band together. | |

Iced Earth was formed in 1984 as "The Rose" by Jon Schaffer in his home state of Indiana. When Jon moved to Tampa, Florida a few months later, none of the other members could come with him, so the band broke up, but Schaffer retained the logo font and songs he had written. After moving to Tampa, Schaffer placed an ad for musicians there and met drummer Greg Seymour and vocalist Gene Adam who would remain for the next few years, calling the band "Purgatory". The rest of the band formed soon after, recording some demo tapes and playing many live shows. The band then changed their name to "Purgatory 60" to distinguish themselves from another band. In 1987, lead guitarist Randall Shawver joined and markedly changed the sound of the band from a horror thrash band to one with more distinct prog, NWOBHM, and gothic influences, which led them to drop most of their old songs. In 1988 the band changed their name to Iced Earth before getting a record deal. Seymour left after their first professionally recorded demo tape, Enter The Realm. Adam was fired after the first album and the band's second vocalist John Greely was only in the band for a year before they went on hiatus. There were numerous other lineup changes, however the band finally got a pretty solid lineup when they reformed in 1995 with Matt Barlow on vocals, which endured for the next few albums. There have been numerous other lineup changes over the years, and the current lineup of Iced Earth includes no original members apart from Schaffer. However, drummer Brent Smedley has been in the band on and off since 1997, and vocalist Stu Block was a regular fixture in the band until 2021, when he and two other members quit the band. | |

Fairport Convention has had almost 30 members, earning the nickname "Fairport Confusion." Starting recording in 1967, by 1972 they'd been through so much membership upheaval that they had no original members left (though some would come back). No-one has been with the band for its entire 50-plus-year career, and only a couple have been members for more than half of its existence. For example, the band's two most famous members, singer Sandy Denny and guitarist Richard Thompson, were both gone by 1971. note Denny would return in 1974 but would be gone again in a year. Although Thompson hasn't been a member since 1971, he's continued to be associated with the band, and occasionally appears as a guest on their albums and at their concerts. Several musicians were Fairport members for less than a year. Even the band's only more-or-less constant member, guitarist Simon Nicol, left the band for a period (1971 to 1976) before returning. Bassist Dave Pegg has remained with the band since he joined it in 1969, but unlike Nicol, he wasn't an original member. Their occasional reunions tend to be advertised with a complete list of the musicians participating, so people can't complain about being cheated. | |

Chelsea Grin had this issue early on in their life, due to the band not being financially stable. They've had at least six guitarists, three bassists, and two drummers go through their ranks. From 2007 until 2018, Alex Koehler was the only consistent member until he left due to his alcoholism. Bassist David Flinn has been in the band the longest, joining in 2009. | |
