: : You really could say the same thing about Ringo Starr (yeah, he SANG "Yellow Submarine", but so what) or really any rock and roll drummer
: Bad example, the Beatles did reunite for ONE concert after John's death alhough they may not have billed themselves as the beatles, true. Think circa 1988-90
: ... although I think Led Zeppelin did the right thing after Bonzo died. Could the Stones really go on without Charlie Watts? I don't think so and I don't think Keith would let that happen.
: Two words, Bill Wyman.
: But was more akin to the placement of Pete Townsend in the Who. Think about the group Queen. Freddie died and they still play together.
: Apparently SOMEONE can, because they have already replaced him and start touring two days from now.
: Adam
Bill Wyman... well, Bill decided he didn't want to make any more money or go throught the hassels. It's not the same as someone DYING. But Keith says Charlie is the back bone of the Stones.
Queen without Freddie is just SAD. Retire the name Queen. Or call youself the "New Queens" or something. Some people in bands can't be replaced. Are YOU gonna see Guns 'N' Roses without Slash or did you see Aerosmith without Joe Perry or would you see Krist and Dave touring as NIRVANA without Kurt?
Hey, Adam, you are a GOOD Devil's Advocate!
