Bands from the 70s

[Spudman]

How many bands from he 70s can you name that still (currently) have all the original members?

Periods with different members don't matter. They have to have the original members today that they started with.

 

[Lev]

ZZ Top

...edited to add U2 as they started in the 70's

 

[SuperSwede]

Aerosmith?

 

[bigG]

Rush...

 

[piebaldpython]

George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers

 

[msteeln]

Oh boy! Another chance to say...

...Golden Earring

 

[Spudman]

Rush...

Not Rush. Neil Peart is not the original drummer.

 

[just strum]

Cher?

I will correct myself, based on plastic surgery, that isn't even the original Cher.

How about Jackson 5 - nope, plastic thing again.

Any of the solo singer/songwriter guys still being solo and singer/songwriting. Neil and his guitar, harmonica, and piano, Dylan, James Taylor, I would say Cat Stevens, but now the name is Yusaf Islam.

Bands, not solo artists.

Aerosmith?

First band that I thought of............so I cant comment for fear of cheating :rotflmao:

 

[Spudman]

So far I think the only legitimate ones are ZZ Top, Aerosmith and U2. There's got to be more.

 

[Childbride]

Cheap Trick.

 

[pes_laul]

steppenwolf??? Im probably wrong on that one

 

[Rocket]

steppenwolf??? Im probably wrong on that one

WAY wrong!

 

[Spudman]

Cheap Trick.

I think so.:AOK:

From Wiki:
In 1974 Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, and Bun E. Carlos replaced Hogan with Robin Zander. The band was renamed, and Cheap Trick was born. In its earliest days Cheap Trick could be seen playing some free admission venues such as Sinnissippi Park in Rockford.

Well, Neil plays three distinctly different instruments, and often two at the same time. Doesn't that count?

Sorry, I tried to come up with some real answers. I couldn't.

 

[Suhnton]

The Sex Pistols

Bad Brains

 

[Spudman]

The Sex Pistols

Bad Brains

The Sex Pistols do qualify. Bad Brains do not. They currently have a different singer than the original.

Good one. I know it's hard. There aren't many bands around that still have the original members.

 

[Suhnton]

Damn, I didn't even realise there was a singer before HR :thwap:

 

[Spudman]

George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers

Hot Tuna Sumi

Nope.

 

[Suhnton]

Cock Sparrer

 

[Spudman]

Good one.

Uh...unless Sid Vicious has been resurrected...I don't think the Sex Pistols qualify.

Sid was not an original member of the band. Glen Matlock played bass originally (from 75-77). The band that toured as recently as 2008 is the original Sex Pistols (Matlock, John Lydon, Steve Jones and Paul Cook).

 

[Suhnton]

I remember seeing an ad in the back pages of some music magazine a few years ago when Glen Matlock was doing his solo gig. He billed himself as "The original Sex Pistols bass player".

Back to the game:

Yellow Magic Orchestra
