I may be in the minority here, but the Motley Crue album with John Corabi providing vocals and instruments is my favorite Crue album. It's the only one I listen to on a semi regular basis. Of course, as soon as Vince Neil got out of the klink they dropped him with a "Thanks, but no thanks." If you haven't heard the album, take a listen to it. Here's one of my favorite tracks on it. **Language Warning** Neil only spent 30 days in jail, despite killing one and seriously injuring another. Don't mind this album, but it's just not the same without Vince Neil.....even though he could have never done this album.

As far as metalheads go, besides Sabbath and Maiden, this thread begins and ends with Iced Earth. Their first album is almost unlistenable thanks to the singer. Their second, Night of the Stormrider, was amazing, and the vocalist was a step up from the debut, but still pretty meh. Then, for their third album, they find this man: Matt F'n Barlow. In my opinion, the greatest metal singer of all time. Listen to Burnt Offerings, Dark Saga, Something Wicked this Way Comes, and Horror Show, and tell me this man is not a god. I dare you.

To add to my post: His resemblance to the Undertaker must give him points on this board, at least.

Journey, the third time around.
Many people think that Darnell Panella (Their current singer) sounds a hell of a lot like Steve Perry (He was discovered on Youtube in a Filipino Journey cover band by one of the guitarists) and I've seen the guy sing on VH1 once. He can really pull off a lot of Perry's high notes.

I bow to this man. I'm ashamed to say I always thought Owens was their only vocalist. I'm an idiot not to have noticed the difference. Those albums you mentioned are great. I swear there are times when I feel like they give me some sort of spiritual euphoria. That's the best way I can describe it. Amazing work. Maybe Iron Maiden if you want to count that first record. It's not That first record. Bruce didn't come in until their 3rd album. Many people, including myself consider them just as good as anything after. The fact of the matter is, with all due respect to the absolutely amazing musicians that have been in the band, Steve Harris is Iron Maiden. And he's had amazing amounts of talents, as well as himself to create his music. Including some spectacular vocalist. As to who is best, I honestly can't choose, they all are really great and unique. Everyone knows Bruce therefore Di'Anno is underrated, Blaze even more so. I will say one thing about all the people who have been in the band. I consider them the only band ever to have had a perfect/flawless discography, and believe me I've listened to a lot of music. ------ Does it even count if a band wasn't famous when they switched?

Neil only spent 30 days in jail, despite killing one and seriously injuring another. Don't mind this album, but it's just not the same without Vince Neil.....even though he could have never done this album. One problem with all of this, vince's car crash was in 84 and he went to jail after the theater tour in 85. The motley album with corabi is from 94. Vince left/departed/fired/whatever at the beginning of 92, and released two solo albums, and motley did the one album and stayed in the press due to tommy and pam, and then they reunited with vince in 97, and the big reunion album was all the album they started with corabi with his vocals erased and vince singing over them. Ah, thanks for the correction. I was going from memory and I must have gotten some wires crossed. But it is the only Motley Crue album I still listen to.

AC/DC successfuly pulled off the switch twice.
The first time was from Dave Evans (I know, "who?") to Bon Scott, and then from Bon Scott to Brian Johnson.

Nightwish, even if I prefer Tarja and think the way they fired her was very spineless. You know, don't tell her yourself, send an open letter and make their personal business public. The new singer is very good still.
No Doubt had some shakeups with lead singers before Gwen Stefani took on pretty much all the vocal work, since before they hit it big they had an Alan Meade and a John Spence, but Meade left, and Spence committed suicide.
I guess Van Halen pulled it off since, while I am not really a fan anyway, they had their most successful hits with Hagar. Not the most received by fans, but numbers don't lie. That being said, the Cherone era sucks most ways you look at it.

All very good opinions but your forgetting one key group that was forced to make a major change. The Beatles, you know because Paul died in an accident. For more info on this look it up on wikipedia or get high and play every album backwards while your in another room listening to the Rolling Stones and it will all make sense how a nobody who is still pretending to be him to this day took his place.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to get a hold of some Iced Earth and give it a listen. I don't think that if they weren't famous they shouldn;t count. The band still had to go through the whole change themselves. All be it without the acceptance (to the level that they would reach) of the fans.

Shadows Fall
While I love Phil in All that Remains, he is so much better of a fit with them than he was with SF on "Somber Eyes to the Sky"

I think Genesis pulled it off the best. You take a guy from inside the band and make him the singer, thereby lessening the impact on your cult following. Your first album with him on vocals doubles the success of any of your previous albums. And then when your drummer/singer releases a solo album that catapults his popularity, you keep the band together and let his success rub off onto the band. Well played.

All be it without the acceptance (to the level that they would reach) of the fans. Yeah but most bands at that stage haven't even ironed out their line up. Especially if they haven't released an album. Also should it count if the previous vocalist was unknown, or not well received, or just frankly no one gave a crap about him? If so then Iron Maiden pulled off the lead singer change 5 times. Black Sabbath has switched singers like what? 9-10 times?

Iced Earth are the freakin bomb one of the best live acts around and are so criminally underrated. other bands that have pulled off the switch are Slipknot Cannibal Corpse Napalm Death Soil Cryptopsy
