Rock Bands With No Original Members

The thread about bands with non-original members who have served longer than the original members got me to thinking about bands still active with zero original members.

Three immediately come to mind:

Lynyrd Skynyrd (with the recent passing of Gary Rossington)

Riot

Molly Hatchet (with the entire lineup from the first album now deceased)

There's probably more, but those are the only ones I can think of off hand.

Any others?

Yes
Heart (surprise the Wilson sisters weren't there from the start)
The Little River Band
Thin Lizzy
Ratt

That's right, I had forgot Ann & Nancy were not there at the very beginning of the band.

However, I more or less define "original member" as some one who played on the debut album. For example, Lynyrd Skynyrd went through numerous Bass
players & Drummers before they settled on Bob Burns & Leon Wilkeson for the debut album. Even there, Leon had temporarily left & guitarist Ed King played most of the bass parts on the debut.

Sepultura are now made up of replacement members.
The Hollies who are surprisingly still around
Pantera the key two originals having died

Good thread, interesting reading.

The MC crowd loves their TV and movies but they can talk music all day too!
