I felt like Alice in Chains should've ended with Layne Staley's death. I really enjoyed their 'comeback' album and I realize Jerry Cantrell was probably the biggest part of the band, but it's just not the same without Layne's voice. But hey, it's their band, not mine.
I didn't really care for Tim "Ripper" Owens in Judas Priest either. Much like with Alice in Chains, it just didn't feel right without the original singer (in this case, Rob Halford).
Also, I'm in the minority on this one, but any form of Black Sabbath that wasn't fronted by Ozzy. I love Dio/Sabbath's 'Heaven and Hell' album, but Ozzy's voice just fit better, in my opinion.

Did Queen actually record new music after Freddy died? I thought they just toured and performed their old stuff.

here's one that will blow your minds; current Ozzy Osbourne singing classic Ozzy era Sabbath tunes. gone is his charismatic, nasally whine that made those songs work. its been replaced by a warbly old drunk who can barely remember the words and sounds like a beluga stuck in a wind-tunnel. one of the saddest things I've ever seen was Sabbath's 2001 Ozzfest reunion tour where the rest of the band was aces and Ozzy was f***ing terrible.

With AIC, they sound fine with DuVall but I personally do't listen to their stuff post-Layne because it has lost the magic for me.

here's a somewhat obscure one; Matt Mcgachy's first album with Cryptopsy was absolutely terrible, and he was a major reason. it didn't help that he replaced the incredibly skilled and charismatic Lord Worm. the bad clean singing and breee-oar deathcore vocals were part of what made that album so terrible. that said, he's largely been rescued in fans' eyes by his second album with the band, which was MUCH better and ditched the clean singing and pig squeals for a more classic sound. hell, he even sings the old material better now, too.

The new lead for Drowning Pool; the guy they tapped to replace Dave Williams sounds more old country than nu-metal.

I think all of mine have to do with when a singer dies and the band tries to carry on or reunite without them. In particular the following three: Queen The Doors Alice in Chains Queen actually did perform a great song with George Michael, but that was 20 years ago! Since then the corpse of that band has been raped without mercy to the point where even bassist John Deacon said "f*** this" and refused to have any part in it. The Doors without Jim Morrison is just a ridiculous concept. I don't even think most people know that Ray Manzarek took over as singer at one point. Alice in Chains is one that really bugs me. Without Layne they just sound like a grunge knock-off or cheap imitation of what Alice in Chains used to be. It's disappointing particularly because I thought Jerry Cantrell would have more integrity then that. I don't fault any artist trying to make money, but if he was hell bent on continuing with Alice in Chains at least get a vocalist who doesn't just sound like an imitation. On sidenote while they have replaced their lead singer in the same way Blind Melon doesn't really bother me as much. I haven't really bothered to listen to most of their stuff post-Shannon Hoon, but the other members had so much gas left in the tank and so little name value that it is tough to fault them. I'm a huge AIC fan and I think thier new lineup is ok. Definitely not as good as the Layne Staley lineup, but decent. My analogy has been to compare it with light mayo to regular mayo. The sandwich still is good with light mayo, but it definitely is missing that full flavor. Still fine though. I don't blame Jerry Cantrell and the rest of the band one bit for reforming AIC. It's not like they kicked Staley out of the band or wanted him to be gone. Staley just couldn't control his drug habit and unfortunately paid the ultimate price. They would have loved him to sober up enough (and also, probably to get help for what I'm sure were major depression issues) to rejoin the band (and way more importantly, to still be alive). The rest of the band shouldn't have to pay for that by losing what they helped build, and I think that people (not you necessarily) just don't realize what a driving force Cantrell was/is behind the band. I would actually say he was the main piece, being the principal songwriter, lead guitarist, and the harmonizing vocalist.

I agree with Queen and Paul Rodgers, I tried listening to a song of theirs when it came out to Guitar Hero 4 and I almost fell asleep
On a band that most never cared about.....I absolutely HATE new Panic! at the Disco. The original was awesome, and then Vices and Virtues came out with the new singer and the only song I was only able to get into was "Ballad of Mona Lisa" and even that was just ok

Paul Rodgers was pretty much the biggest misstep Queen made, especially when they named him the permanent replacement. Trying to replace Freddie with someone with limited range and charisma? Yeah, not going to happen. At least they've wised up since then, Adam Lambert was much better than Rodgers ever was. Except Paul Rodgers is a much better singer than Adam Lambert ever will be. The studio album with Paul blows but Paul sang the classic Queen songs great.

Blaze Bayley, his vocal range nowhere near what bruce can do
and Ripper Owens, while hes really nice guy the priest material from that era was just weak
also Born Again Era Sabbath with Ian Gillan preforming Dio era and Ozzy era Sabbath tracks live, needs to be heard to be believed

The Misfits with any singer after Glenn Danzig. The Michale Graves era sucked, and the Jerry Only on vocals era is even worse.
I also don't like post-Layne AIC. Duvall's okay, but he's not in Layne Staley's league. And I don't like their new songs much at all.
Jerry Cantrell's solo albums were pretty solid, and I don't get why he had to bring back the AIC name instead of starting a new band.
Sublime with Rome is one of the few examples of a band that I liked, which I don't mind with a replacement singer. Although it seems like Rome doesn't know the right lyrics to some of Sublime's classics.

Still Brendon Urie. They just don't write good songs anymore.
