We've seen the demise of several great glam bands because of disputes between members. Some of them are done for good. Some of them work it out and reunite. And some of them carry on with replacements.
My boys in the Crue carried on without Vince. Skid Row and Ratt carried on without their frontmen, too. I'm sure Neil, Bach and Pearcy all thought their bands would fall apart without them. Oddly enough, I thought Motley sounded less like THE CRUE without Tommy Lee.
So I ask the question: Could any of the following bands survive without their "most important" member? Some are frontmen, some are not...
**Could Cinderella survive without Tom Keifer?
**Could Motley Crue survive without Nikki Sixx?
**Could Twisted Sister survive without Dee Snider?
**Could Kiss survive without Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley?
**Could W.A.S.P. survive without Blackie Lawless?
**Could Aerosmith survive without Joe Perry?
I know some/all of these seem like obvious answers NO. But think about it...would you see any of these bands again with replacements or sound-alikes?
