Band lineup trivia

adaher · April 18th, 2008, 05:56 PM

Can anyone name some bands in the metal genre who are currently together and haven't had a lineup change in at least ten years?

I think Dream Theater is going on eight since Jordan Rudess joined the band, but I'm hard pressed to think of anyone else off the top of my head who has held it together that long.

Hasn't Children of Bodom been stable since 1997?

Oh wait, hasn't Rush had the same lineup for 30 years?

Absolutely not. That fat dude left and Roope came in.

Vanden Plas have never had a lineup change.

Edguy, Kamelot, Symphony X, Rhapsody (well, they changed their name not members

)

Rhapsody replaced Alessandro Lotta with Patrice Guers a few years ago.

Kings X and Aerosmith(not metal but close enough).

Symphony X's lineup has been stable for 8 years .. Mike LePond replaced Thomas Miller in 2000.

Kamelot is just at 10 years without losing a member .. Khan joined up in 1998 for Siege Perilous. They did however add a permanent keyboardist this past year or so.

Edguy is coming up on ten years with this lineup. Tobias Exxel jumped on board and relieved Tobias Sammet from bass duties in 99. However, they've only had one loss since starting. Old drummer Dominik Storch left the band in 97 or 98, in between the Kingdom Of Madness and Vain Glory Opera releases.

The only other band I can think of that has had the same lineup for ten years now, other than the ones mentioned already, is In Flames. I think they've been the same since 98.

As far as I know, Primordial has had the same lineup since forming well over 15 years ago.

I think Dark Tranquillity have been stable since Fredrik Johansson left in 1998.
