Original band members

[TheDenimRager]

Crowded House's line-up changed a fair bit, actually. Tim Finn joined and then left again, Mark Hart came into the line-up and then Hester left and Peter Jones filled in for a while until they did their farewell show. Obviously, it was fairly stable compared to a lot of bands, though.

Mark Seymour was playing bass for a couple of albums wasn't he??

 

[Goreripper]

No, that was his brother Nick. Mark Seymour was never in Crowded House.

 

[Mark]

Jo Satriani did backing vocals on their first album too, I believe

 

[Goreripper]

Actually that's true. Joe Satriani did do backing vocals on the first Crowdies album.

 

[Mark]

Yes, I know.

 

[Maelstrom]

No shit! Satriani? How did that happen?

One that may have been forgotten - The Beatles? Never recorded under the name with any members other than the Fab Four. And I also think that Queen counts. Now it's Queen + Paul Rogers it's totally different!

 

[Spiff]

But the Beatles are no more. And Queen doesn't count - the rules were discussed at the beginning of the thread.

ZZ Top are the winners so far.

 

[Maelstrom]

Sorry! Got carried away!

 

[Spiff]

That's OK, everyone else has made the same mistake so far. I'm ruthless and tyrannical when it comes to the rules I made up for this stupid thread.

Alchemist can be added to the list also. They may not be as well-known as all those other bands, but they fit the criteria.

Not sure but didn't Alchemist have another guitarist before Royce?

might be wrong though.

 

[Goreripper]

They had several line-ups but since their first album they've been the same.

thought it was something like that.

because remember other members when I first saw them years and years ago.

fuck, I even remember seeing them support the famous Armoured Angel line-up (the Green brothers and Lucy) way back in 1994 at the old Civic Youth Centre.

think that was my first live metal show.

 

[Goreripper]

The current Alchemist line-up was well intact by 1994. Roy joined in 1992 just before they recorded Jar of Kingdom and the line-up has been the same ever since.

Weird.

I remember them having someone else back then.

but they all looked different.
Hell, Rod had hair back then.
