Bands Who Replaced Their Lead Singer (And Nobody Noticed!) Except Us. We Noticed

About this episode

The hosts discuss various bands that replaced their lead singers and the impact of those changes.

Who's your favorite band that replaced their lead singer? Were they still your favorite with the new singer? Me neither! Today, Shayne, Jay, and Tim discuss every band change we can think of. And a few we didn't think of! Round 310! ~~~~~~~ If you love Beer Thursday and want to support the show, join us on Patreon ! The next 18 Patrons who hop in at the $10 level get exclusive access to the Beer Thursday Facebook group — where the riffs are hot, the jokes are cold, and the beer is… also cold. ~~~~~~~ Want to see Jay’s latest beertography masterpiece? Follow @BeerThursdayShow on Instagram for frosty drinks, smoky cigars, and the occasional artsy shot that looks like it belongs in a museum dedicated to hops. ~~~~~~~ Make sure you’re subscribed so each new round magically appears on your phone like a rock‑and‑roll fairy godmother. And if you leave us a 5‑star review, we’ll replace absolutely no one. ~~~~~~~ Here's what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: This round rocks harder than AC/DC after a singer swap. The guys debate Van Halen’s two eras, AC/DC’s seamless transition, Judas Priest’s Ripper moment, and whether Journey is still Journey if only one dude…
