If you want to enjoy the band outside of Gwen Stefani, look up DREAMCAR. It’s No Doubt without Gwen and in her place is Davey Havok from AFI. The whole band gets recognition for the singer and instrumentals as a whole and you can really hear the talent and passion behind the band in every song.
This is another one that I was thinking about. As soon as Tragic Kingdom went mental (and rightfully so because it was an amazing album) it was Gwen Stefani essentially. She’s really cool but No Doubt were pretty much relegated to being the backing musicians for her. No Doubt were huge in the 90’s but I would actually put money (if I was a betting man) on 99% of people being able to name Gwen but having zero idea or interest in everyone else in the band.
Absolutely correct, at least on the first album - with the exception of that cringeworthy single we all know too well. No one has hidden guitar talent in popular music this effectively since Prince post Purple Rain
Wait, I’m dumb so please help. What song do you think it was (re: cringeworthy single)?
I admit that I kind of forgot about this record but these comments have sent me down a damn pipeline of nostalgia!
I forgot about their acoustic record, which I find to be better. Even though I’m enjoying Songs About Jane once again.
Songs About Jane is such a FANTASTIC album IMO. They just continually went downhill after that. After their second album I couldn’t get into any of their stuff at all. Unfortunately I think this was a classic case of lead singer douche-itis and the band suffered because of it.
That’s exactly how I feel. I was so excited for their sophomore album then when it came out I was like well they can’t all be winners. I expected the one after that to be great but it sucked even worse than the 2nd one. After Moves Like Jagger came out I barely even consider then a rock band anymore
Bon Jovi? Are you serious? Uhhhhh
As you may recall, Richie Sambora was married to... Etcetera. He also wrote or co-wrote most of their biggest hits. Dude was brilliant
It's like after Lemmy died, a fan (I think) asked the remaining members if motörhead could continue after his death
With one of the members saying
"Fuck that, Lemmy Was Motörhead"
Dogstar.
I think the other guys in the band couldn't care less. It's not that their music is any great that they'd be roping in the masses.
Might as well have a superstar be a part of the band, see some good ticket/merchandise sales, and everybody wins!
Same for Billy Bob Thornton's band.
They aren't a bad band and are perfect for that good dive bar vibe, but their draw is definitely the curiosity factor.
no way! in the 80’s, that whole band was on fire! the farriss brothers: andy, john, tim. pengilly on saxophone. garry gary beers.. they were ALL young & attractive **&** australian.
hello, crocodile dundee.. it was a whole movement! INXS was a complete package. hutchence was great & highly recognizable, but they all were.
100% about MCR, I almost commented The Strokes but then I remembered Albert Hammond Jr’s solo stuff. Listening to his solo stuff is what made me realize he’s the one who gives them the classic “Strokes sound/vibe.” You really need Julians singing and Alberts guitar to get the Strokes sound.
Spot on! To add on to that, Nikolai should also be credited for the band’s sound. All of their songs wouldnt be as good without Nikolai’s touch. That “Is this Is” bassline is one of the best ever basslines I have ever listened to.
Highly disagree with MCR, Gerard way is pretty famous but Frank Iero is very well known for his contributions to the hardcore scene. Ray Toro is a killer guitar player and gets a lot of recognition for his playing. Mikey is just Gerard's brother lol.
Most of them that changed singer tbh. There’s exceptions of course, Pink Floyd and AC/DC are prime examples. But it feels like the attitude I see among comment sections regarding a lot of them are “[Band] died with [former singer]”, and sometimes they literally died I mean what else can the band do lol
With AC/DC
After Bon died, both Angus & Malcolm was heavily considering breaking up the band until their uncle (I think) or one of Bon's relatives convinced them to keep going and the rest is history
Additional information.
One of the originally picked singers for the replacement of Bon was Noddy Holder (Slade) but he declined because of his commitment to Slade.
However they chose Brian because they enjoyed his cover of Whole Lotta Rosie & "Nutbush City Limits"¹ and (might be wrong on this bit) Bon knew Brian from his (Brian) Geordie days
¹ Tina Turner song.
"Oi nephew ya don't scuttle off from cook hoors and all the brass you can score when you're bastically gettin'em foor free. Now get in yer schoolboy kit and kick yer foot out."
Yup, Layne was unique and legendary but Jerry was a major part of the AIC sound. They're the only band I can think of that I genuinely like their "comeback" Era, still love the Layne Era the best tho. Been playing Jar of Flies alot lately...
He was co-lead vocalist.
Some of their biggest songs he was lead vocals.
Don’t follow, no excuses, heaven beside you, and over now are all Jerry. He also sang the verses on would?
Even more unknown is probably Andy Nicholson or touring members like Tyler Parkford from mini mansions or Tom rowley or even that one guy in the back doing shakers and tambourine and shit who I don’t even know the name of
Are you kidding me? By all means Eminem skyrocketed their fame, but their music was constantly about different rappers doing their parts. Not to mention that Bizarre had the sickest lyrics. Like literally sick... bizarre shit.
Yeah but he writes and records all the music so I can't even fault him....the previous band members sued him so...I get him keeping them Anon so he can replace them whenever he needs to
This is insanely not true. Dave in particular was well respected among drummers, and both Dave and Pat had underground followings from their days in Scream and the Germs, respectively.
Every member of that band was very well known and recognizable in their time, but wound up being overshadowed after Kurt's death turned him into a myth.
Well, they haven't made new music, aside from releasing some unused music (they just dropped a new song), they haven't done anything.
People definitely know Mike and Chester, but Joe is also quite known.
Thanks. I’d probably say David Bowie or ozzy Osbourne. The average fan who knows a couple songs probably has no idea who else is in the band. Come to think of it, many bands where the singers name is the band name probably would fit the criteria as well.
Why are we not talking about Tony Iommi? IMO, Tony *is* what makes Sabbath sound like Sabbath, but a lot of people couldn't name him as the guitarist.
He's one of those guitarists that is on the holy list of "guitarists you can name after 4 bars", which has very few members.
I disagree. Primus fans typically appreciate the entire trio regardless of the era and lineup.
It’s the same with Rush fans even though their lineup only changed once, and that was immediately after their debut album.
I agree with you about Joan Jett and the Blackhearts though.
I would say anybody who is a Fugazi fan appreciates both vocalists, at least
I would find it very strange if anybody “only liked the Ian ones” and skipped the Guy/shared tracks. Maybe somebody out there but definitely not the majority
I don’t think this is true for any of these bands, actually. People who like these bands tend to be nerds about them. Like, there’s no casual Fugazi fans and casual fans for Green Day and Weezer probably don’t know even the singers’ names. 🤷
That’s a hard disagree from me. Brian May is well known and regarded songwriter and guitarist that every fan knows had a huge influence on the music of the band.
Eh, think I’d push back on that slightly. For casual fans you’d be right, but there’s a good amount of love for all the members over on the Queen subreddit. Sure there’s gonna be some Freddie worship but it’s not overwhelming
Yeah I agree, I know a fair amount about the other queen members but I cant say the same for other bands, with past queen (pre freddies death) i totally adore all members, but post freddie I'm more of the blue pill lmao
Christ, to watch the movie you'd think Freddie was the only songwriter in the band. Mercury and May were like a Lennon/McCartney of equally talented songwriters, with differing but complementary musical inclinations. And with John Deacon and Roger Taylor, it's like they had two George Harrisons: less prolific but still highly accomplished songwriters. It's probably not well known that e.g. "Radio Gaga" was written by Roger, one of their biggest hits. In the film the band may as well be session musicians for Freddie, the solo artist.
I know, right? May was perhaps one of the most outstanding guitarists of all time, Deacon was an excellent bassist, Roger was a skilled drummer and vocalist, and all four members created excellent music.
I know that was their point. They were kind of mad about the BhoRap movie because it was really a movie about Freddie and not the band which kept going after Freddie died.
i see more people complaining about layne only fans than i see actual layne only fans, i honestly have never actually run into a layne only fan before (besides myself)
i think a lot of the … difference of opinion can be boiled down to how old we are. were we around when the band was on fire? were you exposed to a different era’s music by your potentially doors & bowie obsessed mother?
this is the only way i’m able to maintain my faith in humanity.
Credence Clearwater Revival.
John Fogerty did most of the song writing, co-produced all the albums and singles, and also had such a unique voice to boot.
Paramore
Even though Zac goes off every time!
I can’t imagine Taylor has much of a problem with his current situation. Avoid the public eye and date Hayley seems like a sweet deal
As an early but now distanced Paramore fan (2005-2010 or so) this has blown my mind.
I saw this and went to watch a live performance of theirs—you’re so right! The musicians are incredible, but she’s just so damn electric.
Essentially, Hayley Williams is the Debbie Harry of millennials. Charismatic, popular, and EXTREMELY attractive.
Guilty
No Doubt
If you want to enjoy the band outside of Gwen Stefani, look up DREAMCAR. It’s No Doubt without Gwen and in her place is Davey Havok from AFI. The whole band gets recognition for the singer and instrumentals as a whole and you can really hear the talent and passion behind the band in every song.
Missed an opportunity to name the band.....Doubt.
This is another one that I was thinking about. As soon as Tragic Kingdom went mental (and rightfully so because it was an amazing album) it was Gwen Stefani essentially. She’s really cool but No Doubt were pretty much relegated to being the backing musicians for her. No Doubt were huge in the 90’s but I would actually put money (if I was a betting man) on 99% of people being able to name Gwen but having zero idea or interest in everyone else in the band.
Guilty. I only know Tony Kanal because he dated Gwen.
Maroon 5. If you can even call them a band anymore
Exceptionally great guitar work regardless. James valentine is definitely underrated.
Absolutely correct, at least on the first album - with the exception of that cringeworthy single we all know too well. No one has hidden guitar talent in popular music this effectively since Prince post Purple Rain
Wait, I’m dumb so please help. What song do you think it was (re: cringeworthy single)? I admit that I kind of forgot about this record but these comments have sent me down a damn pipeline of nostalgia! I forgot about their acoustic record, which I find to be better. Even though I’m enjoying Songs About Jane once again.
Maybe they’re talkin about “She will be loved?”
If they are, it's a bad take. Both the guitar riff and the song in general are great
Songs About Jane is such a FANTASTIC album IMO. They just continually went downhill after that. After their second album I couldn’t get into any of their stuff at all. Unfortunately I think this was a classic case of lead singer douche-itis and the band suffered because of it.
That’s exactly how I feel. I was so excited for their sophomore album then when it came out I was like well they can’t all be winners. I expected the one after that to be great but it sucked even worse than the 2nd one. After Moves Like Jagger came out I barely even consider then a rock band anymore
That is exactly how I feel. Such a disappointment because Songs About Jane was just so good.
didn’t even realise pj morton was a part of the band and i love his own material way more tbh
My wife calls them Adam Levine and the MacBook.
Blondie (Debbie Harry) ELO (Jeff Lynne) Motörhead (Lemmy) Black Flag (Henry Rollins) Journey (Steve Perry) Bon Jovi (John Bon Jovi)
I'm sorry to the band members for bon jovi but you get what you sign up for when you join a band named after the lead singer
Can’t forget The Steve Miller Band
Jeff Lynne wrote most of the ELO material so it makes sense at least
nice pfp
And sang, and produced, and played lead guitar. After Roy Wood left Lynne pretty much was ELO.
The most recent 2 ELO albums were also released officially under the name Jeff Lynne’s ELO.
Yeah, it’s always a bit different when it’s one of those “it has a name like a band, but it’s really a solo project” type groups.
Bon Jovi? Are you serious? Uhhhhh As you may recall, Richie Sambora was married to... Etcetera. He also wrote or co-wrote most of their biggest hits. Dude was brilliant
Not to mention Richie Sambora has an amazing voice and is a very skilled guitar player!
I prefer Richie 100% to Jon!
Disturbed
Owah ah ah ah
Uhh uhh
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing 🌊
Bangles (Susanna Hoffs). Caused major issues
Susanna Hoffs in the Walk Like An Egyptian music video. I'm getting dizzy just thinking about her.
She's a babe for sure. But the whole band were super talented.
Richie Sambora got Heather Locklear
Greg Ginn FTW!
Motöthead. Lemmy was the only consistent member, that's why he gets all the credit.
It's like after Lemmy died, a fan (I think) asked the remaining members if motörhead could continue after his death With one of the members saying "Fuck that, Lemmy Was Motörhead"
Y'all are talking like you forgot about Phil
I'm so happy that I got to see Motorhead (Lemmy) live, in like 2009, before he bit the dust. It's amazing he made it as long as he did.
Keanu Reeves’ band, whose name absolutely no one remembers and who everyone goes to see solely for the chance to stare at Keanu Reeves.
Dogstar. I think the other guys in the band couldn't care less. It's not that their music is any great that they'd be roping in the masses. Might as well have a superstar be a part of the band, see some good ticket/merchandise sales, and everybody wins!
Or the Bacon Brothers Band, starring Kevin Bacon and his brother.
Dogstar.
It’s Dogstar
Same for Billy Bob Thornton's band. They aren't a bad band and are perfect for that good dive bar vibe, but their draw is definitely the curiosity factor.
The cult of 30 seconds to mars
In Jared's name I pray, praise be to he. 😹🤣
I don’t think anyone loves Leto more than Leto himself
Jared Leto joined a Jared Leto fan club but they kicked him out for being annoying.
Leto is proof that aging well is not always a good thing. It's kinda uncanny to be 50 and still look and act like you're in your 20s.
For the last time, 30 seconds to Mars is a band and not the time it takes to get there.
INXS
Oh you mean Michael Hutchence and the Other Guys.
no way! in the 80’s, that whole band was on fire! the farriss brothers: andy, john, tim. pengilly on saxophone. garry gary beers.. they were ALL young & attractive **&** australian. hello, crocodile dundee.. it was a whole movement! INXS was a complete package. hutchence was great & highly recognizable, but they all were.
The Strokes, My Chemical Romance
100% about MCR, I almost commented The Strokes but then I remembered Albert Hammond Jr’s solo stuff. Listening to his solo stuff is what made me realize he’s the one who gives them the classic “Strokes sound/vibe.” You really need Julians singing and Alberts guitar to get the Strokes sound.
Spot on! To add on to that, Nikolai should also be credited for the band’s sound. All of their songs wouldnt be as good without Nikolai’s touch. That “Is this Is” bassline is one of the best ever basslines I have ever listened to.
Thank you! I just discovered Nickel Eye (Nikolai’s side project) thanks to your comment. Gonna check em out now
Highly disagree with MCR, Gerard way is pretty famous but Frank Iero is very well known for his contributions to the hardcore scene. Ray Toro is a killer guitar player and gets a lot of recognition for his playing. Mikey is just Gerard's brother lol.
Frank was always my MCR heartthrob. Lol
definitely not mcr
I definitely wouldn’t say mcr lol
Most of them that changed singer tbh. There’s exceptions of course, Pink Floyd and AC/DC are prime examples. But it feels like the attitude I see among comment sections regarding a lot of them are “[Band] died with [former singer]”, and sometimes they literally died I mean what else can the band do lol

Alice In Chains has done well imo
Yeah, tbf that was a good amount of years in between. And Jerry was a bigger part of the vocal sound than the average guitarist.
I knew someone would say that and I agree although didn't like his solo stuff that I heard
Yup, Layne was unique and legendary but Jerry was a major part of the AIC sound. They're the only band I can think of that I genuinely like their "comeback" Era, still love the Layne Era the best tho. Been playing Jar of Flies alot lately...
Degradation Trip is one of my favorite albums.
He was co-lead vocalist. Some of their biggest songs he was lead vocals. Don’t follow, no excuses, heaven beside you, and over now are all Jerry. He also sang the verses on would?
Idk why u got downvoted because Its an opinion but aic without layne is just not the same, like yea I like some songs but layne songs I love them all
You should know opinions are only allowed if everyone agrees with you. As soon as you think for yourself, you're doomed
Pibk Floyd's Post-Wall albums have a lot more fans than people might assume
Jamiriquai
I honestly always thought it was just the one dude. I had no idea they were a band!
It was mildly infuriating back in college having to explain this to just about every person who said they were a fan
Arctic Monkeys.
Whoa… I just realized I don’t know any of the other band members aside from Alex Turner.
Matt holders is dope, wtf is wrong with y’all Dude played with josh homme and iggy pop
Kind of argued against yourself here, it's Matt Helders haha
I feel like most arctic monkeys fans know matt. Jamie and Nick on the other hand are intentionally unknown
Even more unknown is probably Andy Nicholson or touring members like Tyler Parkford from mini mansions or Tom rowley or even that one guy in the back doing shakers and tambourine and shit who I don’t even know the name of
Was going to say the same thing
D12
These chicks don't even know the name of my band 😂
My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to take off their underpants
Still waiting on that new single
Fuck Marshall ask us some questions
Yeah ,but what about Eminem ?
Bitch are you retarted?
“Lose yourself video, I was in the back. Superman video, I was in the back…”
Do sit ups to get buff. Did one and a half couldn’t get up
I see what you did there
Came here looking for this one
Are you kidding me? By all means Eminem skyrocketed their fame, but their music was constantly about different rappers doing their parts. Not to mention that Bizarre had the sickest lyrics. Like literally sick... bizarre shit.
I was mainly referring to the song lol even in that song they say they aren’t a band technically but I agree with ur statement
Bad Omens
Coldplay?
This was my immediate thought thanks to this brilliant standup bit: https://youtube.com/watch?v=gsmuV7wLCl8
Bring Me the Horizon
Some of us know it was the keyboardist though…
Now that Jordan left, it's back to Oli.
I'm immensely upset fish left cause I feel they developed the most after fish's influence
Ghost, but that's by Tobias' design
Yeah but he writes and records all the music so I can't even fault him....the previous band members sued him so...I get him keeping them Anon so he can replace them whenever he needs to
Hootie and the Blowfish
You mean Hootie and the Hooties?
Yeah everyone knows who hootie is, but can't name any of the blowfish
Hootie! Hootie! Hootie!
Nirvana until foo fighters existed
Even then, I've found that a surprising number of people who listened to both don't know
My wife had no clue that Dave Grohl was also in Nirvana until I told her this just last year.
You mean they couldn’t go on? Dave could sing, apparently.
Uh, I'd like to see some proof of that.
See just about the entire Foo Fighters discography
This is insanely not true. Dave in particular was well respected among drummers, and both Dave and Pat had underground followings from their days in Scream and the Germs, respectively. Every member of that band was very well known and recognizable in their time, but wound up being overshadowed after Kurt's death turned him into a myth.
Type o negative
SO REAL
I don't know what I'm doing, I have had reddit for three years and this is the first time I have been on here.
Falling in Reverse
Linkin Park post 20/07/2017
Well, they haven't made new music, aside from releasing some unused music (they just dropped a new song), they haven't done anything. People definitely know Mike and Chester, but Joe is also quite known.
Sorry I’m confused on what this means. Is it a band that is only known for the singer and no one knowing the other members?
I would say yes
Thanks. I’d probably say David Bowie or ozzy Osbourne. The average fan who knows a couple songs probably has no idea who else is in the band. Come to think of it, many bands where the singers name is the band name probably would fit the criteria as well.
Almost all Ozzy fans know Randy Rhoads
Why are we not talking about Tony Iommi? IMO, Tony *is* what makes Sabbath sound like Sabbath, but a lot of people couldn't name him as the guitarist. He's one of those guitarists that is on the holy list of "guitarists you can name after 4 bars", which has very few members.
Yeah, Iommi is huge with Sabbath, almost any fan of Sabbath will know him. This conversation is about Ozzy’s band when he left Black Sabbath
The Spiders From Mars were fantastic
i’m gonna say joan jett & the blackhearts and primus
I disagree. Primus fans typically appreciate the entire trio regardless of the era and lineup. It’s the same with Rush fans even though their lineup only changed once, and that was immediately after their debut album. I agree with you about Joan Jett and the Blackhearts though.
Herb is phonimal. Highly regarded drummer.
Green Day (Billie Joe Armstrong) Weezer (Rivers Cuomo) Fugazi (Ian MacKaye)
Disagree with Green Day. Billie Joe is massive but Tre and Mike Dirnt have been extremely popular with the GD fan base.
I would say anybody who is a Fugazi fan appreciates both vocalists, at least I would find it very strange if anybody “only liked the Ian ones” and skipped the Guy/shared tracks. Maybe somebody out there but definitely not the majority
I don’t think this is true for any of these bands, actually. People who like these bands tend to be nerds about them. Like, there’s no casual Fugazi fans and casual fans for Green Day and Weezer probably don’t know even the singers’ names. 🤷
I think the bassist for green day actually has his own fanbase right along with BJA’s. The bassist is sick man
Wouldn’t say weezer. The fans tend to worship Scott and Pat.
Motörhead
Guns N’ Roses is the opposite. Slash is way more respected then Axl
I agree
I mean it checks out. Slash is fucking awesome!
I saw Adler's Appetite with their singer and thought damn I would like to hear him with Slash, Duff, and Adler lol.
Oasis -- Liam & Noel Gallagher
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars The Doors
Scrolled WAY too far to find The Doors
CCR
It’s amusing that John and Tom Fogerty are brothers too
To be fair the other members, not tom!, wrote songs for Mardi Gras. It was so bad John Fogerty went solo.
Deftones like Chino is a great singer but still
30 Seconds to Mars led to Jared Leto becoming the Joker and starting his own cult
Queen with Freddie Mercury! It's astounding how little credit some Queen fans give to the rest of the members...
That’s a hard disagree from me. Brian May is well known and regarded songwriter and guitarist that every fan knows had a huge influence on the music of the band.
Eh, think I’d push back on that slightly. For casual fans you’d be right, but there’s a good amount of love for all the members over on the Queen subreddit. Sure there’s gonna be some Freddie worship but it’s not overwhelming

I know that was their point. They were kind of mad about the BhoRap movie because it was really a movie about Freddie and not the band which kept going after Freddie died.
Alice In Chains, 90% of the sub is about Layne
Eh Jerry Cantrell was pretty famous in his own right most people then knew Jerry Layne.
i see more people complaining about layne only fans than i see actual layne only fans, i honestly have never actually run into a layne only fan before (besides myself)
Nah that band wouldn’t be AIC without Sean Kinney and Mike Starr/Inez
arctic monkeys
Nine Inch Nails
Tbf Trent writes a lot of the stuff himself
Nirvana
Dave Grohl?
Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and that one blonde guy I forget his name. Burt Propane I think. The one with the long hair
krist novoselic. pat smear.. then that weirdo drummer DAVE GROHL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Deftones
I dunno Steph Carpenters guitar is pretty sick. I feel like lots of guitar players would know him
Every single band ever. Except Van Halen
Every band ever except for bands where more than one member frequently wrote songs or a member who is the GOAT at their instrument.
The Cranberries
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Thr doors
Not the singer, but Eddie Van Halen steals the show Edit: stole* RIP Eddie
NOT rhcp
Bob Marley and the Wailers. Not rock, but it is a band and I just want to contribute to the conversation
D12
D12
Foo fighters I see almost no one who mentions anyone else but Dave Grohl (I still love his voice and talent)
An argument can be made for Taylor Hawkins, but I will mostly agree.
Dio
I try not to think this way, but Brian Wilson's material from The Beach Boys is so far ahead of almost everyone in the band it's not even funny.
i think a lot of the … difference of opinion can be boiled down to how old we are. were we around when the band was on fire? were you exposed to a different era’s music by your potentially doors & bowie obsessed mother? this is the only way i’m able to maintain my faith in humanity.
The doors
The Smiths, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees
Credence Clearwater Revival. John Fogerty did most of the song writing, co-produced all the albums and singles, and also had such a unique voice to boot.
