AC/DC has to be the most successful lead singer taker over of a band ever when you consider how integral to their sound Bon Scott was and now how integral to their sound Brain Johnson is
In 2011 I saw Robby and Ray in Chicago with a guy named Dave Brock doing vocals. Not sure who the drummer was. Robby and Ray were the only original members.
@canadianblaster09 There was an actual contract stating none of the original members would use The Doors name unless all living members were part of the group. Densmore wasn't part of the new group so the contract was in breach. Manzarek more or less had the attitude, "Go ahead and sue. We'll be making money more money than you'll ever get from us."
I pretty much agree. Alice in Chains is probably #1 for me as it hit me hard as a kid being a fan since the Dirt album. Too bad Soundgarden didn't make the list but that band never reformed 😞.
Hahahahahah WITH THAT SINGLE COMMENT you have proven YOU DONT DESSERVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS. Cobain. Chester. The emo from Soundgarden...they are all so worthless compared TO REAL VOCALISTS AND BANDS.
Thank you for including INXS! My favorite band. I feel like they have been forgotten in some ways and don't get the respect/credit they deserve, even with as much as they've influenced other artists and have had their songs covered by so many.
To this day, I wonder if this can still be done for Linkin Park? Once an LP fan, ALWAYS an LP fan. Sure helped me through tough times in freshman year in high school.
i don't mind if the other band members find new success, but for me, Chester is Linkin Park as much as Freddie Mercury is the King of Queen. There is simply no replacing them. As for the idea of replacing the lead singer of a band, i think it's important to recognize that the lead singer carries a large part of the band's initial success, because you can't identify with a drum beat or a guitar-riff, you can only identify with the singer performing the song, so losing the lead singer causes a major change in band-identity. Brian May has stated that Queen was never the same after Freddie's death, which explains why Queen hasn't released any new music since Freddie's last contribution for their 1995 album.
I agree, Linkin Park should get a new lead singer, but keep it a surprise to everyone & not make it a reality show spectacle like American Idol or RuPaul's drag race.
@@TimCarter yeah. In my eye, Bon Scott era was better but there are a lot of fantastic songs from Brian era! I especially love No Bull and Live at Donington!
I like em both equally, but come on. So so soooo many more to choose from the Brian era. Shoot to the Thrill. Back n Black. Thunderstruck. All regarded as the best AC/DC songs in Top 10s. Yes Highway to Hell makes those as well. But as I said. I LIKE BOTH
10.) Thin Lizzy 9.) Queen 8.) Stone Temple Pilots 7.) Sublime 6.) INXS 5.) Lynyrd Skynyrd 4.) Alice In Chains 3.) Grateful Dead 2.) Joy Division 1.) AC/DC
@@TheaterPup You missed what I meant. The remaining band members should reform and make a new band. Perfect example, Queen. Not even close to the same "band" without Freddie Mercury. Queen died with him.
There was a metal group in the late 90s named Snot, whose lead singer Lynn Straight died pretty shortly after their debut album, the group made a compilation tribute called "Straight Up", with a lot of big metal named stepping in on vocals like Corey Taylor and Serj, even Ozzy giving a loving shout out because they had toured on Ozzfest and Lynn got to know Ozzy. Heartbreaking story but a great band that wasn't with us long enough, and a really amazing tribute album.
Drowning Pool is still going too, even after the death of Dave Williams and only a few of their songs are anywhere close to anything on the whole Sinner album.
Why? Sorry that makes no sense,why would losing the singer effect the rest of the bands abilities to play their instruments? It might stop them making new records but I can't see why you think its amazing that they can still play their instruments cause the singer dying won't change their musical abilities
Interesting note, Bon Scott may have indirectly suggested his replacement. Shortly before his untimely death, he saw the band Geordie perform and told the members how incredible that band's vocalist was. That vocalist was Brian Johnson.
Yes but 99% of those bands included the remaining members where foo fighters was mainly just Dave grohl not the rest of nirvana. Also the bands like Queen became Queen with Adam Lambert not just Queen so they added a new name that included the existing band.
@@emmanorman8172 idk i think nirvana foo fighters should qualify. nirvana was kurts band so going on without him with the same band name wouldve been hugely disrespectful. Foo fighters also brought along pat who was kind of a part of nirvana before kurts death. I know it's a stretch but it's just too notable a death to ignore for this list imo
Stop insulting Adam Lambert! People like you have no idea that I never have been able to see the original band, I am thankful to Adam that I can see Brian and Roger live
Freddie never wanted Queen to die with HIM. He'd be happy In They're Choice with Adam..."The Show Must Go On"❣ R.I.P. FREDDIE❤THE KING 👑 OF QUEEN❤ ALWAYS LOVED & NEVER FORGOTTEN ❤♾🤘
The Sweet is a good one - they may not have released any new material since losing Brian Connolly, but they still toured. And I think the Prodigy are still going despite Keith Flint's unfortunate demise. Kudos for especially including Queen though.
I'm in the camp of No Layne/No Chains, because no matter which singer you put up there to sing those songs, it'll only be a cover. Layne Staley had a unique voice you cannot replicate or replace. A lot of those songs were great because Layne pretty much wrung his entire soul out singing them, others were personal to Layne and to have someone else sing those, the songs lose their meaning because the new guy didn't go through the ordeals those songs are inspired by. William singing THEM BONES on the 2006 reunion tsunami gig.... William DOES NOT have the power in his voice that Layne had especially for that song. Maynard James Keenan could get close to Layne's vocal range for that song (and many others). And Maynard would have the reverence for Layne's memory, he was friends with Layne, he KNEW Layne, had a history with Layne, and saw what Layne went through from Lollapalooza 93 until Layne became a recluse. Besides, Maynard already had 3 bands going on, why not join a fourth band? I ran into Jerry doing GOT ME WRONG with STP... that felt almost sacrilegious and off-key without Layne just watching it. Now, Jerry has William singing Layne's vocals especially on something like LOVE HATE LOVE which Layne wrote about his tumultuous relationship with his former fiancee, Demri. No. Just NO. Some of the newer AIC fans may like William. And he's probably a great guy in real life but -- it's hard to describe what Layne was...one thing is he was so much more than his addiction. Layne and Jerry were two of the strongest personalities in AIC, the heart (Jerry) and soul (Layne). Layne had done so much for Jerry, giving him a place to live, money, clothes, food, guitars and gear, a band. Layne gave Jerry a life that could NOT fail unless Jerry let it happen. But getting a front-row seat to watch what had happened to Layne over the years, Jerry had to watch his best friend deteriorate in a span of 12 years (1990-2002), and Jerry couldn't do anything about it. Jerry had talked himself blue in the face but Layne didn't want help. Alice In Chains was a band, but they were also a family. They had internal issues just like any family. Whenever Jerry wanted Alice In Chains to work on something, he ALWAYS wanted Layne to sing. He never thought of replacing Layne while Layne was still alive. And to pour salt in the wound, MTV (and the music industry) has more or less blackballed Layne (and yet, they laud over Kurt Cobain every April 5th, because Kurt was the "face of grunge", meanwhile Layne gets a "by the way"). The Grammys went so far as to invite Jerry, Mike, and Sean to the Grammy show in 2003 and then refused to put Layne's picture up in the memorial of the musicians who died in 2002. (Or they "forgot" to) which pissed Jerry, Mike, and Sean off and they walked out on the show. When Layne died, it was like losing a loved one, a family member, you don't think of the fights you had with the person who died. You defend their memory. There is a reason Jerry wrote NO EXCUSES about Layne and the line "You, my friend, I will defend / And if we change, well, I'll love you anyway." "My grandmother and mother were such huge losses, but I got Layne, the guys, and I got this.” - Jerry Cantrell, Kerrang! (December 1, 2018)
Had the absolute pleasure of seeing INXS perform live a couple of times, and had tickets to the concert they were supposed to play when Michael died. Have also seen AC/DC but they’re not as good live, imho....
@@benjwolford I saw them like 2 years ago and it was one of the best shows I ever been to. It was a smaller venue so it was intimate.....and boy oh boy they played allll the hits plus a few off the new album Rainer Fog. It was a fantastic experience.
AC/DC were the only ones that had massive success with a new lead singer even though Bon Scott was super talented though. And Queen at number 9? Are you kidding me? Should be number 2.
I think Queen should be higher, but AC/DC definitely deserves its top spot. And I never was a great fan of JD Fortune, but Rock Star:INXS brought me to Storm Large.
I knew it had to be AC/DC as soon as I read the title. It's hard to even say which version of AC/DC is better. Both Bon and Brian have their own unique style that makes the band great either way.
Agree with the #1. I remember being crushed when Bon died. I never thought they would go on and have a massive hit with BIB, a great album but for me it will always be Bon Scott. ❤️
@@robertsaul234 Wrong. He did three live shows after Freddie, a single, and an album. And they wouldn't be doing these shows without his approval, and he gets paid for them.
Why are so many people insulting Adam Lambert for being with Queen? Y'all should realise that people like me never got the chance to see the original line-up, as Freddie died in late 1991. I was born years later. I am a fan of Adam individually aswell, so I appreciate the two coming together. 99% of the Queen fans are only insulting Adam and it's sad, but it shows how awful the fans are :(
@@theaterpup3466 I have seen QAL twice and Adam solo once. The internet for sure is filled with miserable SOBs. The fans of Queen who are anti-Adam, are those who are stuck in the past
They should've rated an Honorable Mention, at least. Just because the new frontman used to be their bass player should be meaningless, since his character is different.
I feel like Linkin Park should be on here. Chester Bennington committed suicide and this left the band in limbo until Mike Shinoda decided to continue Chester's legacy and recently announced a new album from LP.
Until they release it its still up in the air. But to me LP trying to continue w/o Chester would be like if Nirvana tried to move on without Kurt Cobain.
I know he ia not a frontman but the fact that Keith Richards is still alive is pretty amazing. I guess he said it best when asked about his longevity......."I'm doomed to live."

No matter who it is
Which is even more fitting when you consider that was one of the last songs Freddie recorded with Queen
@@kingofrunescapepking I cry to that song everytime
AC/DC was the only band to really flourish after getting a replacement singer though.

Brain Johnson
The Doors tried without Jim Morrison but it was short-lived.

@canadianblaster09 they would change the name to Riders on the Storm and go on a short tour in 2008 with Ashbury
The Doors were a phase for me as a liquor loving lunatic when I was 13-16 but that clip definitely cemented my dislike for them all these years later.
In 2011 I saw Robby and Ray in Chicago with a guy named Dave Brock doing vocals. Not sure who the drummer was. Robby and Ray were the only original members.

Queen survived only because of the huge amount of respect everyone has for them and what they did for music.
Yeah, I haven't exactly bothered checking, but i wouldn't count them because haven't they not written any new music?
Even though there will NEVER be another Freddie Mercury Adam Lambert does a wonderful job.
Joy Division turning into New Order is my fav. Both bands are fabulous.
I pretty much agree. Alice in Chains is probably #1 for me as it hit me hard as a kid being a fan since the Dirt album. Too bad Soundgarden didn't make the list but that band never reformed 😞.
Alice in Chains is my #1 too...I love them!
Layne Staley's death is the only celebrity death that really shook me. The anniversary of his death is coming up (April 5).
And they never should. Welcome to Chitty Wok, you try the Chitty Chicken?! 😂😂😂
There will never be any replacements for Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Chester Bennington, or Freddy Mercury

Adam Lambert is fantastic with Queen but he is the first one to say he is not replacing Freddie. There is no replacement for Freddie

Duvall does lead on the old Layne songs but for the new material, it's mostly Jerry singing lead but with Duvall's harmonies.
Love Joy Division and New Order! RIP Ian Curtis!
Also RIP Freddie Mercury and Chester Bennington
These guys are amazing for doing what they love even despite their lead singer's passing. They most certainly honored them I'd say
Some bands who lose a lead singer just need to stop as a band because some lead singers just cannot be replaced such as Freddie Mercury.

Top 10 bands have lead singer last song before they died
Very difficult to explain that
What?
I'm in the camp of No Layne/No Chains, because no matter which singer you put up there to sing those songs, it'll only be a cover. Layne Staley had a unique voice you cannot replicate or replace. A lot of those songs were great because Layne pretty much wrung his entire soul out singing them, others were personal to Layne and to have someone else sing those, the songs lose their meaning because the new guy didn't go through the ordeals those songs are inspired by.
William singing THEM BONES on the 2006 reunion tsunami gig.... William DOES NOT have the power in his voice that Layne had especially for that song. Maynard James Keenan could get close to Layne's vocal range for that song (and many others). And Maynard would have the reverence for Layne's memory, he was friends with Layne, he KNEW Layne, had a history with Layne, and saw what Layne went through from Lollapalooza 93 until Layne became a recluse. Besides, Maynard already had 3 bands going on, why not join a fourth band?
I ran into Jerry doing GOT ME WRONG with STP... that felt almost sacrilegious and off-key without Layne just watching it. Now, Jerry has William singing Layne's vocals especially on something like LOVE HATE LOVE which Layne wrote about his tumultuous relationship with his former fiancee, Demri. No. Just NO. Some of the newer AIC fans may like William. And he's probably a great guy in real life but -- it's hard to describe what Layne was...one thing is he was so much more than his addiction. Layne and Jerry were two of the strongest personalities in AIC, the heart (Jerry) and soul (Layne).
Layne had done so much for Jerry, giving him a place to live, money, clothes, food, guitars and gear, a band. Layne gave Jerry a life that could NOT fail unless Jerry let it happen. But getting a front-row seat to watch what had happened to Layne over the years, Jerry had to watch his best friend deteriorate in a span of 12 years (1990-2002), and Jerry couldn't do anything about it. Jerry had talked himself blue in the face but Layne didn't want help. Alice In Chains was a band, but they were also a family. They had internal issues just like any family. Whenever Jerry wanted Alice In Chains to work on something, he ALWAYS wanted Layne to sing. He never thought of replacing Layne while Layne was still alive.
And to pour salt in the wound, MTV (and the music industry) has more or less blackballed Layne (and yet, they laud over Kurt Cobain every April 5th, because Kurt was the "face of grunge", meanwhile Layne gets a "by the way"). The Grammys went so far as to invite Jerry, Mike, and Sean to the Grammy show in 2003 and then refused to put Layne's picture up in the memorial of the musicians who died in 2002. (Or they "forgot" to) which pissed Jerry, Mike, and Sean off and they walked out on the show.
When Layne died, it was like losing a loved one, a family member, you don't think of the fights you had with the person who died. You defend their memory. There is a reason Jerry wrote NO EXCUSES about Layne and the line "You, my friend, I will defend / And if we change, well, I'll love you anyway."
"My grandmother and mother were such huge losses, but I got Layne, the guys, and I got this.” - Jerry Cantrell, Kerrang! (December 1, 2018)
The sad part is that for Staley, it was a slow suicide and he was perfectly conscious of it. That's what "Dirt"'s lyrics says… :(
Damn Aic is such an uderrated band. Glad to see them here.
Considering they are part of the big 4 of the Seattle scene, I wouldn't say that they are underrated. More like they got the recognition they deserve.
Had the absolute pleasure of seeing INXS perform live a couple of times, and had tickets to the concert they were supposed to play when Michael died.
Have also seen AC/DC but they’re not as good live, imho....
Alice in Chains records with William DuVall are very good.
He has been a great replacement. The live shows with them now is full of energy and excitment.
I aim to see them again. Saw them in '91 open Clash of the Titans. They sounded great.
@@benjwolford I saw them like 2 years ago and it was one of the best shows I ever been to. It was a smaller venue so it was intimate.....and boy oh boy they played allll the hits plus a few off the new album Rainer Fog. It was a fantastic experience.
AC/DC were the only ones that had massive success with a new lead singer even though Bon Scott was super talented though.
And Queen at number 9? Are you kidding me? Should be number 2.
I think Queen should be higher, but AC/DC definitely deserves its top spot. And I never was a great fan of JD Fortune, but Rock Star:INXS brought me to Storm Large.
*"The show must go on"*
I personally think queen should have been in third or fourth. But that’s just my opinion, that doesn’t mean I’m correct.
No you are correct. Mojo tends to make those kinds of mistakes. ;)
Fun fact: Ronnie never wrote down his lyrics. What a mad lad.
All of them but AC/DC were half assed versions of the original.
Oh man, entry 8 hits different as I saw STP and Linkin Park shortly before each of them died.
We Care A lot... that faith no more wasn’t on this list. But I’m used to you guys dropping the ball.
I knew it had to be AC/DC as soon as I read the title. It's hard to even say which version of AC/DC is better. Both Bon and Brian have their own unique style that makes the band great either way.
Agree with the #1. I remember being crushed when Bon died. I never thought they would go on and have a massive hit with BIB, a great album but for me it will always be Bon Scott. ❤️
Surprised Drowning Pool isn't on here, they've had two singers die and still kept going
I was expecting them also.
Queen should be higher
Queen number 9 cmon
Queen Definitely Should have been #1 IMO...✌
R.I.P. FREDDIE❤THE LEGENDARY KING👑OF QUEEN❤
ALWAYS LOVED, NEVER FORGOTTEN! ❤♾👑🤘
Drowning Pool was another band. I never cared much for them but they’re still active today.
yea i forgot abou them but they didnt metion static X
WiIliam Duvall is excellent, they couldn’t possibly have found a better singer to take Layne’s place
Queen
ACDC
Lynyrd Skynrd
Alice In Chains
INXS
No Doubt
Grateful Dead
The Doors
STP
Sublime
No Doubt? WTF
@@flaviojosefo7130 Their original Lead singer killed himself . Gwen took over . Get it now ?
What a treat for the ears and brain!
Me, seeing Queen as #9: 😧😡 YOU HERETICS!!
@Jason Mistretta Exactly. No participation from John Deacon either.
@@robertsaul234 Wrong. He did three live shows after Freddie, a single, and an album. And they wouldn't be doing these shows without his approval, and he gets paid for them.
@Jason Mistretta Awww you heard saying karaoke made you cool on the Internet. Too bad you heard wrong.
@Jason Mistretta So? Stop insulting Adam!
The amount of Adam hate here is just toxic
It's hard to replace a Singer some bands just need to let it rest in peace
Yup. Kinda just depends on, I don't know. Something
Why are so many people insulting Adam Lambert for being with Queen? Y'all should realise that people like me never got the chance to see the original line-up, as Freddie died in late 1991. I was born years later. I am a fan of Adam individually aswell, so I appreciate the two coming together. 99% of the Queen fans are only insulting Adam and it's sad, but it shows how awful the fans are :(
I saw Queen + Adam twice last year. The overwhelming majority of the fandom loves Adam. The Internet is filled with miserable SOBs, they don't matter.
@@theaterpup3466 I have seen QAL twice and Adam solo once. The internet for sure is filled with miserable SOBs. The fans of Queen who are anti-Adam, are those who are stuck in the past
@@WonHakWoon Yep. Nostalgia's great, but not at the expense of the present.
How the hell is Queen only 9?
Because the two replacements have been trash
Yes no one can replace Freddie :(
They just tour. They aren't recording albums with new original songs. Karaoke
@@akamiguelsanchez9985 Don't quit your day job.
@@SoCalPressCore No one has tried to.
5:55 The Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash actually happened in 1977.
I love so many of these bands!
Was wondering if GWAR would make the list honestly.
They should've rated an Honorable Mention, at least.
Just because the new frontman used to be their bass player should be meaningless, since his character is different.
rip ian curtis. 🖤 also i i love new order, gonna see them in concert in september at madison square garden.
Lot of bands you forgot. Little Feat comes to mind. They were an up and coming band when their lead singer Lowell George passed away.
What's my favorite band? Queen.
I feel like Linkin Park should be on here. Chester Bennington committed suicide and this left the band in limbo until Mike Shinoda decided to continue Chester's legacy and recently announced a new album from LP.
Until they release it its still up in the air. But to me LP trying to continue w/o Chester would be like if Nirvana tried to move on without Kurt Cobain.
My favorite band is one I grew up listening to. Lynyrd Skynyrd, with Queen playing a close second.
9:12 (left) But that's just a theory! A Music Theory!
Drowning Pool should be an Honerable mention.
Amazing Video
never listened to Thin Lizzy, should I check them out?
Yes you should
@@angelamoore8659 okay!
Yes
Joy Division-New Order😍😍😍
I know he ia not a frontman but the fact that Keith Richards is still alive is pretty amazing. I guess he said it best when asked about his longevity......."I'm doomed to live."
RIP Scott Weiland
Never gets the love he deserves 💔🤘
For me it's Brad Delp from Boston.
