In the spirit of @DuvalKnight music thread, I am curious what makes a legendary band become a tribute band? I always thought if you are producing the same quality after replacing a member, that is just a lineup change.
Lineup changes:
AC/DC. Brian Johnson vs Bon Scott
VH: Sammy Hagar vs David Lee
But what about these example….
Is Journey really Journey without Steve Perry?
Is Queen really Queen without Freddie Mercury?
Can Van Halen continue with Sammy, Michael and Alex but not Eddie?
Lynyrd Skynyrd feels like a tribute band without Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington or Allen Collins
I saw The Beach Boys in Orlando with Mike Love but none of the brothers Wilson
I saw Styx without DDY but they still had TS and JY
How about the Grateful Dead without Jerry?
