The Band Minus the Face | comment |
When a musical group loses one (or more) of its key members, such as the lead singer or a very popular member, it usually breaks up — but not always. Occasionally, a band tries to continue without its "face", sometimes because it is legally obligated to. Sometimes the group tries to replace the departed member, sometimes not. (If this happens, the new member is often dismissed by fans as a Replacement Scrappy.) Either way, more often than not, the result is bad, and the band rarely lasts more than one or two more albums. It can also lead to both Canon Discontinuity and Fanon Discontinuity, as performers and fans all try to forget the inferior post-face recordings ever existed. However, on rare occasions, a band gets lucky and averts the trope by attracting a new, larger audience. Many bands both avert this trope and play it straight; it isn't uncommon for a band to survive the departure of one key member only to later see their popularity fade after the loss of a different member. In a related phenomenon, sometimes a famous singer's backing band takes a "vacation" from its leader, releasing its own original material while still under the singer's employ. It's kind of a Solo Side Project, only involving more than one member of a group. It's an open question what the group will call themselves if they formerly had an Artist and the Band style name. Compare and contrast the musical applications of Growing the Beard. |

The title track of Tina Turner's Private Dancer features all the members of Dire Straits except bandleader/guitarist Mark Knopfler - and he wrote the song! The band had originally recorded the song in 1982, but Mark decided it needed a female voice and gave it to Tina. Then, due to Executive Meddling from their record company declaring Mark could not appear on it, they had to re-record the song with Jeff Beck on guitar in place of Mark, who was not happy with the end result. | |

The Hard Times article "Rules for Replacing a Lead Singer" instructs band members on how to deal with the situation as gracefully as possible... sort of. For example: "Pack up all their stuff in the practice space beforehand—And be thorough. You don’t want them wandering back to your next rehearsal claiming they forgot their Nirvana poster." | |

Following the departure of frontman Syd Barrett at the beginning of 1968, the group appeared to play this trope straight for a while as they continued to perform Barrett's songs live, with David Gilmour often filling in for Barrett's vocals. Many fans agree that More, Ummagumma, and the songs on A Saucerful of Secrets that don't feature Barrett to be of lesser quality, due to his absence leaving the group directionless. However, Roger Waters was eventually able to rise to become the new leader of the group, and by the release of Atom Heart Mother it was clear that Pink Floyd could thrive without Barrett's leadership. | |

The Pogues continued for a few years after firing lead singer and songwriter Shane MacGowan, who was temporarily replaced by Joe Strummer of The Clash before the band settled on co-founder Spider Stacy as their new lead singer. Their first post-MacGowan album, 1993's Waiting for Herb produced one of their biggest hits, "Tuesday Morning", but the album itself was savaged by critics and suffered poor sales. The band called it quits after their next album 1996's Pogue Mahone fared worse critically and sales-wise, and did not reunite until the members patched things up with MacGowan in 2001. | |

When brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, of The Black Crowes, finally couldn't stand each other any more, the band dissolved. Lead singer Chris started his own band - pointedly called The Chris Robinson Brotherhood - almost immediately. Guitarist Rich, meanwhile, did solo work for a few years before recruiting former Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford and bass player Sven Pipien to form The Magpie Salute. They perform covers, new works, and Black Crowes tracks. | |

Castle: In "Famous Last Words", Hayley Blue's band, Blue Pill, was reduced to performing sweet sixteen parties once she went off on her own. Not only was Hayley their most talented and famous member, but she also owned the trademark for the band's name and wouldn't let the others use it. James Swan, the Victim of the Week in "Swan Song", is the lead guitarist of a band called Holy Shemp and the focus of most of the positive reviews about their music. A man making a documentary about the band expresses belief that without Swan, the others are yesterday's news and that no one will care about his documentary unless he gets some good footage about the hunt for Swan's killer. When it looks like Swan was planning to launch a solo career, Castle suggests that the others killed Swan due to fear that he'd steal away all of their fans and reduce them to obscure footnotes in his career. Ultimately, things end on an optimistic note for the band, minus the bassist, who is arrested for Swan's murder. They hire replacements for their lost members, including Swan's childhood friend (who taught him to play the guitar so well in the first place), suggesting he'll be able to replicate Swan's popularity. |

After Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath due to his increasingly uncontrollable behavior, he was replaced by Ronnie James Dio. Dio's tenure only lasted three years and two albums (plus a third one in 1992 during Tony Martin's period away from the band), but was accepted by fans as an adequate replacement for Osbourne during that time, sang on the group's only commercially significant live album, and toured with a reunited Sabbath under the name Heaven and Hell. While Osbourne remains the most popular and well-known frontman, Sabbath saw enough success with Dio to form a bit of a Broken Base (although not as big as Ozzy's solo career). The Sabs actually fell victim to this trope multiple times; after Dio left, they went through four other vocalists (Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, and Tony Martin - not counting a short-lived reunion with Dio during a two-year period when Martin quit the band) before Ozzy finally returned in 1997. And throughout the band's long history, guitarist Tony Iommi was the only consistent member. |

Battle Beast well withstood the departure of its original lead vocalist Nitte Valo due to family issues in 2012, which may have had something to do with the fact that they had to date only released one album with Valo (2011's Steel). She was replaced with Noora Louhimo the same year, who sings in a similar style, and the band has gone on to release three more albums and tour with such names as Sonata Arctica and Sabaton. | |

The Supremes managed to last several years after Diana Ross left (and even had a few minor hits), but were tremendously overshadowed by Ross's solo career. Most Supremes best-of albums barely acknowledge the Ross-less years (when Mary Wilson remained throughout), if at all. For this reason, they are sometimes called The '70s Supremes. | |

Global Heresy: The eponymous band is suffering from emotional turmoil and an increasingly weak position with their record company since their famous lead singer, Ben Gould, disappeared from his boat and is assumed to be dead. Ben is faking his death as a publicity stunt, but by the time he returns, the others feel that they no longer need him. | |

While 'Fast Eddie' Clarke wasn't strictly The Face of Motörhead, his replacement with former Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson met with this reaction in 1983. Although the resulting album, Another Perfect Day, was strong, Robertson indulged in behavior that alienated Motorhead fans, including performing in tight disco shorts and insisting on playing long blues jams while refusing to play Clarke's songs. | |

The Irish group Them is best remembered for Van Morrison's 1964-66 stint as lead singer. However, after Morrison left for a successful solo career, various versions of Them continued recording and touring until 1971, with a reunion in 1979. While Them never regained their Morrison-era level of popularity, some fans hold their work without him in high regard. | |

When Jonas "B" Bergqvist, co-founder, guitarist, lyricist and additional vocalist of Lifelover, passed away due to an accidental prescription drug overdose, the remaining members put the band to rest and went to form Kall, which was less Lifelover-like, although they still kept some of its original themes and even had some fans from the old band. | |

A few years after The Guess Who broke up in 1975, they received offers to reunite. The best-known members — Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman — were busy with their solo careers, but some of the other members formed a new version of the group — and at the same time, bassist Jim Kale secured rights to the band's name. While the classic lineup played some gigs and released the live album and video Together Again in 1983, the rest of the Guess Who's post-1975 releases have come from several different lineups, many of which had Kale as the only original member, none of which featured Cummings or Bachman. | |

The original lead guitarist, bassist, and second drummer of Guns N' Roses (i.e., the entire band except for Axl Rose... and Izzy Stradlin) eventually regrouped under the name Velvet Revolver (with Scott Weiland, the vocalist of Stone Temple Pilots and another guitarist, Dave Kushner, old-time friend of Slash and who played with Duff in the band Loaded), and while they didn't reach the heights of the earlier band in their heyday, they released several well-regarded albums and hits. | |

The Stranglers recorded ten albums, the last four being international hits. They went for an eleventh (called 10, just to confuse matters), which fell flat. Singer Hugh Cornwell left, considering them a spent force, but the band kept going. The band's 2004 album Norfolk Coast and single "Big Thing Coming" were mildly successful, but far less so than the albums made when Cornwell was in the band. | |

When Paul Kantner left, leaving the band with none of the original Airplane founders, the rest of the band hired Mickey Thomas and continued simply as Starship. With Thomas as lead singer, the band went a more mainstream pop-ish direction, gaining three major hits with "We Built This City", "Sara," and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now." By 1990, Thomas was the only one left, as the rest of the Jefferson members felt going pop was the wrong direction for them creatively. The others found their way to Jefferson revivals, and Grace Slick retired from music altogether. | |

Skeletonwitch fired Chance Garnette from the band around the end of 2014 due to many, many serious character flaws that were made far worse by his excessive drinking and mean drunk tendencies, and after a tour with a fill-in the following year, they welcomed in Adam Clemans of Wolvhammer in 2016 and released The Apothic Gloom, their first release with him on vocals. Fan reaction has been mixed and they have still yet to warm up to him completely; while most fans understand that Chance had to go for the sake of the band's wellbeing, they also feel that Chance was such a major part of their sound and live show that it's not really Skeletonwitch without him. | |

British three-piece girl group Sugababes have had members replaced THREE times - in fact, none of the original members are even left in the group now. But they've continued on with success - their most successful lineup was their second with Heidi Range, Keisha Buchanan, and Mutya Buena. Heidi replaced Siobhan Donaghy. In 2005, Mutya left the group and was replaced with Amelle Berrabah. In 2009, the only original founding member of the band, Keisha, was kicked out by the record label and replaced with Jade Ewen. This is the fourth lineup of the Sugababes, and their most recent album Sweet 7 is their second poorest selling. But the second and third lineups were hugely successful. And it gets even more complicated now that the original Sugababes reformed as Mutya Keisha Siobhan... | |

After Shannon Hoon's death in 1995, Blind Melon reformed with a vocalist who had a somewhat similar style and released one album under the name Unified Theory; years later they reformed again with a vocalist with a very similar singing style, this time touring and releasing an album under the Blind Melon name again. Both albums had relatively good reception from fans, but didn't attract much attention outside of the fan base. | |

In Milo Murphy's Law, Zack used to be the face of a lumberjack-themed boy band called the Lumberzacks. The band went on without him when he moved to Danville, with one member, Max, taking over and renaming it the Lumbermaxes. All of the other members then changed their names to "Max," which annoys Zack a bit. | |

Journey. Steve Perry had to step away from the band when he developed a degenerative bone disease and couldn't join a planned reunion tour, and they went through several lead singers to try and replace him. They eventually settled on Arnel Pineda, who did much for Journey financially. With Pineda at the helm, Journey had one of the most successful tours of 2008, and the first album with him as lead vocalist, Revelation, was certified platinum. Also, it seems that he has brought appeal to a generation two decades younger than Journey's initial fanbase and in territories outside their normal North American base. (Pineda is Filipino and the band's popularity has skyrocketed in the Asian area). It probably helps that Pineda's voice is practically indistinguishable from Perry's. | |

A variation: X's first four albums (from Los Angeles to More Fun in the New World) featured Billy Zoom on guitar and were produced by Ray Manzarek of The Doors. Afterwards, Zoom left and the band stopped working with Manzarek; fan consensus is that these changes led to an Audience-Alienating Era for the group, and the two albums they recorded before going on hiatus (Ain't Love Grand and See How We Are) aren't quite as good as what came before, although there are some who appreciate this era of the band. | |

After the release of Elysion, Sound Horizon's lead vocalist Aramary left the band for unspecified personal reasons. However, while this resulted in a significant change in musical style (longer songs; more Song Style Shifts; the use of more and varied vocalists; Revo making his presence more apparent in the songs and on stage; etc.), the band actually became more successful than in their "first era". | |

Moon Ray Vaughoof was the guitarist/singer of his band Double Trouble, and thus was its driving force. Unfortunately, his sudden death in a fatal helicopter accident left an absence that couldn't be filled. This didn't really become a problem, though, as he would be inducted into the Trimortidae, and he would eventually reunite with his surviving bandmates in the Heaven-Realms. | |

Indie pop girl group The Pipettes has seen many lineup changes: the band's most successful lineup of Rebecca "RiotBecki" Stephens, Rose Elinor Dougall, and Gwenno Saunders is the second lineup. Saunders replaced Julia Laird-Clowes, who left to become the singer and keyboardist for the indie band The Indelicates. After the release of their popular 2006 debut We Are the Pipettes, Stephens and Dougall left the band, with Dougall going onto a critically acclaimed solo career. Saunders and Monster Bobby (the group's co-creator and leader of their backing band) continued the group, recruiting replacements that also departed soon afterwards. The group's second album, Earth vs. Pipettes only features Saunders and her sister Ani in the lineup, and it tanked in both sales and critical reception. | |

Until 1998, Lonestar had two lead singers: Richie McDonald and bassist John Rich. John was fired from the band in 1998, eventually founding Big & Rich with Big Kenny, and Lonestar went on to have some of its biggest hits, such as "Amazed" and "I'm Already There", with McDonald as sole lead singer. McDonald left in 2007 over Creative Differences, and was replaced by Cody Collins, who sounds nothing like McDonald. The band cut one middling album (Party Heard Around The World) with Collins as lead, then he left in 2011. McDonald rejoined after his solo career went nowhere, but by this point, the band's star had deeply faded. | |

Odd Squad: In "Soundcheck", Danny T., the leader of the eponymous band, decides to quit the band after refusing to change the lyrics of the song "Take Away Four" so it becomes "Gonna Add One" instead. It's explicitly stated from Johnny J.'s comment of "not again!" that this isn't the first time this has happened, but luckily for them, Otto is an apt and very willing substitute for Danny, becoming an Ascended Fanboy and recording the new song with them as well as helping them film a music video for it. | |

When original singer and cofounder John Foxx left Ultravox, critics predicted great success for him as a solo artist and doom for the rest of the band. However, once Midge Ure replaced him, the band enjoyed its greatest success ever, while Foxx's career never got anywhere near the heights imagined for it. | |

Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup, and Carl Bunch backed up Buddy Holly on the ill-fated Winter Dance Party, and after the crash, Holly was replaced with Ronnie Smith, and this new lineup later became the Jitters. They had little success, they soon broke up, Jennings became a solo star, and Smith was committed to a Texas state hospital for drug abuse in 1962, where he hanged himself in the bathroom. | |

When The Who lost drummer Keith Moon after 1978's Who Are You, the band replaced him with Kenney Jones. Everything went OK for a while, including a decently-received tour, until 11 fans were killed at a concert in Cincinnati a year later. The band then released two studio albums with Jones, Face Dances and It's Hard. While the former had a bonafide hit in "You Better You Bet" and a charter in "Another Tricky Day", the latter was panned by just about everyone (though Rolling Stone infamously awarded it 5/5 stars). Though they've reunited since then (recently without bassist John Entwistle, who died in 2002) many times for tours and even a couple of studio albums which were warmly received, many fans think they've never really been The Who since Keith passed away. | |

Folk-classical fusion band Renaissance. This ancestry is often ignored because, after releasing two albums and touring, the band stalled and then gradually underwent a complete change of lineup. The new band started afresh, abandoned the old songs and folk influences, and became a straight classical fusion band, often using orchestral backing. And suffice to say, while original lead vocalist Jane Relf had a fine voice, her replacement, Annie Haslam, was even better, and the new group went from strength to strength. When the original line-up reunited to record new material in the mid 1970s (minus the late founder member Keith Relf, alas), they had to do so under a new name (Illusion, taken from the title of their second album), because Renaissance Mk. II were still a quite successful going concern. |

Fear Factory disbanded in 2002 after all members were in a feud with founding member Dino Cazares, but reformed the following year without him. This line-up made 2 albums: Archetype, which was favourably received, and Transgression, which, to date, is considered by many fans as their worst album. Dino Cazares finally came back in 2009 after Fear Factory was pretty much in hiatus since 2006. As a result, Raymond Herrera and Christian Olde Wolbers left the band. For good. |

They gained a new lead singer, Mary Ramsey and their first album with Ramsey produced the biggest hit in the band's career, a Cover Version of Roxy Music's "More Than This".

AC/DC. Their original singer, Dave Evans, was fired before the band became famous. Their second singer Bon Scott joined and the band got signed and released albums throughout the '70s. After Scott's death in 1980, the band came back with new singer Brian Johnson and Back In Black, their most successful album and, indeed, the most successful album by any actual band, surpassed in sales only by Michael Jackson's Thriller. Several of the band's most iconic songs date from this period, which continued to tour and release material to the present day, and for an entire generation of fans Johnson was the face of the band, as much as Scott ever was (remembering, of course, that this the band includes Angus Young, he of the eternal school uniform). | |

When Jack Grisham, the original singer of punk band T.S.O.L., became disillusioned and left the band, they recruited new vocalist Joe Wood and continued without him. Eventually, as with Renaissance, the entire membership was replaced. This made things interesting when Grisham formed a new version of TSOL, since the other one was still around — and Woodnote along with another band member, Mitch Dean owned the rights to the name. There were times when Grisham's group, using the Sdrawkcab Name LOST, played in the same city on the same night as Wood's group! However, in 1999 Grisham successfully sued for the right to the TSOL name, which he has used ever since. | |

Once Gary Numan temporarily retired as a live act in 1981, his backing band went on as Dramatis. Their lone album, For Future Reference, had keyboardist Chris Payne taking lead vocals, and mimicked Numan's science-fiction-themed Synth-Pop to some extent. They did manage a top 40 hit in the UK with "Love Needs No Disguise", which featured Gary Numan himself on guest vocals. Otherwise, they're largely a footnote to Gary Numan's career, enough so that when their album finally saw release on CD in 2000, it was repackaged as an album called The Dramatis Project by Tubeway Army Featuring Gary Numan. | |

Codex Equus: A few examples from the Second Age. Moon Ray Vaughoof was the guitarist/singer of his band Double Trouble, and thus was its driving force. Unfortunately, his sudden death in a fatal helicopter accident left an absence that couldn't be filled. This didn't really become a problem, though, as he would be inducted into the Trimortidae, and he would eventually reunite with his surviving bandmates in the Heaven-Realms. The Healing String Groove Band is an inversion. It was once a blues Rock Trio consisting of Healing Song (vocals/guitars), Tempo Groove (drums), and Steel String (bass). Healing Song later moved on to jazz and teaching aspiring musicians, but he and his bandmates stayed good friends and continued touring for many years. Then Healing Song became terminally ill with cancer in his middle-age years, which he gracefully accepted with some help. He Ascended to godhood on his deathbed instead of dying as he expected to, granting him divine power and immortality at the cost of outliving almost everyone he knew, eventually leaving him the Sole Survivor of his band once Steel String and Tempo Groove died from old age. |

The Idle Race released one last album, Time Is, in the UK after Jeff Lynne left for The Move and Mike Hopkins and Dave Walker took over. Never mind that they had a Top 10 hit, albeit only in Argentina, with a cover of Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime." | |

When Vancouver-based band Doug And The Slugs stopped recording studio albums, lead singer Doug Bennett toured for a good 12 years with a rotating group of backing musicians, still billing them as Doug And The Slugs. Following his death in 2004, the other original band members reunited with a new singer and are now touring as Doug And The Slugs despite not having Doug. | |

The English rock band Faces. The group (originally known as The Small Faces) lost their original lead singer, Steve Marriott, when he left to form Humble Pie. The group renamed itself and then picked up two new members - Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart (both of which led the band to drop the "Small" from the nameexplanation They were called "Small Faces" because all members of the band were short; Wood and Stewart were significantly taller, so they weren't all "Small" Faces anymore). Their subsequent output included four successful studio albums and a series of major hits like "Stay With Me" and "Ooh La La". After the release of their fourth album, though, Ronnie Lane left and Stewart focused far too much on his solo career. Finally, Wood's work (and popularity) with The Rolling Stones caused the band to disintegrate. | |

Progressive jazz/rock band The Reign of Kindo was formed by four out of five members of indie band This Day & Age, after the latter's vocalist left. As of 2013, Kindo has outdone their former band by one album after releasing their third and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. | |

Restless Heart is one of the few bands to zig-zag this trope. Original lead singer Verlon Thompson quit before the first single and was replaced by Larry Stewart. After Larry parted for a solo career in 1991, the next album featured drummer John Dittrich, keyboardist Dave Innis, and bassist Paul Gregg alternating as lead singers. That album produced their biggest crossover hits in "When She Cries" and "Tell Me What You Dream", both sung by Dittrich, but their momentum dropped off completely after that. Innis quit before the next album, leaving just Dittrich, Gregg, and guitarist Greg Jennings (who did not sing) to carry one album on their own with several studio musicians. Finally, the band broke up in 1993. Everyone but Innis reunited briefly in 1998 to cut two tracks for a Greatest Hits Album, then all five members reunited for good in the early 2000s. | |

When Roger Waters left the band in 1985, he infamously attempted to invoke this trope when he declared that Pink Floyd disbanded, and then tried to sue them when they quite rightly said: "No, we're not finished yet". The first two albums released after Waters's departure, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, both sold remarkably well and are considered some of the group's best efforts. | |

When Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden in 1993, he was replaced by a relative unknown, Wolfsbane singer Blaze Bayley, who also had a different singing style from the iconic Dickinson. Sales of Maiden albums were disappointing with Bayley as vocalist, and during this period, the band was on CMC International Records, a label that was to hard rock and metal in the grunge/alt era as Branson, MO is to '50s and '60s pop and country stars. Dickinson would return to the band in 1999, and pretty soon Maiden was back to its old glory, releasing the well-received and successful Brave New World in 2000. | |

When Kamelot's founding vocalist Mark Vanderbilt quit in 1998, they hired the almost completely unknown (for anywhere that isn't Norway) opera-style vocalist Roy Khan, but instead of being minus the face, this actually marked the origins of their beard growth in the early 2000s. | |

Genesis...for a while. When Peter Gabriel left, the band's unlikely replacement was Phil Collins, the group's drummer. It turned out that not only did Collins have a singing voice similar to Gabriel's, but his sensibilities were also far more mainstream, which meshed well with the similarly pop sensibilities Banks and especially Rutherford always secretly harbored. Under Collins' leadership, Genesis went from cult heroes to one of the biggest-selling bands of The '80s. While this was happening, Collins maintained an equally, eventually more successful solo career...so successful that he eventually left as well. This time the replacement, a new member named Ray Wilson (former singer with UK One Hit Wonders Stiltskin), only lasted one album. | |

They were replaced by lead singer Mark Orr and bassist Anthony Kenney. Orr left after only one album, and Doug came back, taking over his brother's former role as lead singer. After Kenney left, Doug also became bassist again. | |

Anthrax went through four different lead singers: first there was Neil Turbin (1982-1984), then there was the very successful Joey Belladonna era (1985-1992). After that, John Bush (1992-2004) took over, and after a reunion tour with Belladonna in 2005, Dan Nelson became the current frontman. Nelson later left and Joey Belladonna reunited with Anthrax, just in time for the Big Four tour and a new album. | |

Sepultura was essentially just the Cavalera brothers, Max and Igor, with some other musicians. Even though both brothers have left the band (in 1996 and 2006 respectively), Sepultura is still touring and making music and are led by guitarist Andreas Kisser and the band's lone remaining original member, bassist Paulo Junior. The Cavalera brothers later reunited to form the Sepultura-esque Cavalera Conspiracy, essentially The Face(s) Minus The Band. | |

Damo Suzuki wasn't Can's original vocalist (their first album featured Malcolm Mooney) and was only with them for three years, but for many people Can are that band with the crazy Japanese singer, with the Malcolm Mooney era seen as Early-Installment Weirdness and the post-Suzuki albums (with the possible exception of the first, Soon Over Babaluma) generally ignored altogether. | |

Cat Stevens' backup guitarist Alun Davies released an album titled Daydo in 1972 using some of Stevens' backing band, making this a Cat Stevens album in all but name (though Stevens himself appeared as guest artist). Critical reception was rather mixed (mainly because of its inclusion of "I'm Late"), and Daydo remains Davies' lone solo album to date. | |

The Wurzels lost their founder, lead singer and principal songwriter Adge Cutler when he died in a car crash in 1974. Although devastated, the three surviving members decided to carry on — with a shift towards doing parodies of pre-existing songs to make up for the lack of new material, and banjo/guitar player Pete Budd taking on the singing duties. Within two years, the band — whose following had hitherto been largely restricted to their native Somerset — were experiencing mainstream success with two top ten hits. | |
