Bands that have never changed lineup?

[The Ozzman]

No, early they had a different singer.

No one cares about Terry Glaze

 

[The Butt]

The smartass in me wants to say Burzum, but there was that period where... Samoth, played bass in the band, during the Aske recording sessions?

 

[Omni]

Queen
Radiohead

 

[La Rocque]

ZZ Top

 

[Satanstoenail]

Did Coroner have any changes?

No, although Tom G Warrior sang on their first demo.

Atheist?

Yeah they had a fair few.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Led Zeppelin, Strapping Young Lad (if you don't count the session musicians), Wintersun (No one cares about Oliver Folkin), Damageplan), Cavalera Conspiracy, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Doors, Steppenwolf

 

[Zephyrus]

The Beatles ldo.

 

[just metal]

Evanescence.

 

[Zephyrus]

Rammstein has had the same 6-man lineup for their entire history. Impressive for that number.

[Qoppa]

Tool's only had one lineup change since they formed. (Bassist in 1995)
Blind Guardian's only had one line up change since their first major release. (Drummer in 2005)

Led Zep played several gigs with Jason, I'd consider that a lineup change personally, but that's subjective. The Doors have had 2 studio albums without Jim Morrison (so far) and also reunited in the early 00s with Ian Atsbury as their lead singer (though they have since changed their name to Riders On The Storm and gotten a new vocalist). Scott Weiland just quit Velvet Revolver. And I think they may have already done a gig without him, or else it's coming up soon.

 

[AchrisK]

The Beatles ldo.

They had a different drummer at first, but all their recorded material may be with the same four guys. Not sure.

 

[The Ozzman]

Tool's only had one lineup change since they formed. (Bassist in 1995)
Blind Guardian's only had one line up change since their first major release. (Drummer in 2005)

Blind Guardian has had a session bassist for touring and albums since 1997. I'd consider that a lineup change since Hansi gave up bass duties to sing exclusively.

 

[Klämrisk]

System of a down

Listen to the song Crossfire. It's pretty obvious there is a keyboard player
