Question- When is a band no longer the band it started out as? When a band changes members at what point does it cease to be that band. Case in point- The newsboys or dare I say Newsboy. The newsboys have under gone several band member changes, to the point that there is only one original newsboy left. And guess what... he is leaving the band and they still want to call themselves the newsboys! Are you kidding me? It gets better. The new lead singer is ... wait for it, wait for it... Michael Tait of dctalk fame. Are you tracking with me? This Australian based band had replaced its aussie lead singer and chief song writer with soulful definitely not Australian michael tait. Lets be honest. This isnt the newsboys anymore. New name please. I would go so far as saying when a band changes lead singers, it should be mandatory for said band to change names.It is not just lead singers either. I nominate Guns N roses for a name change. Its not guns n roses if all you have of the origianl band is axel rose. Guns N roses without slash is ridiculous. He is the one who crafted all of the original classic guitar riffs. Sweet Child of Mine without slash's contribution is just another hair band ballad.
What do you think. Other nominations of bands who need to change their names?
