Nazareth II would be fine. Retiring a band name is totally different than retiring a band. I still think if they want to rock on.....they should
You are right, Magic. I wasn't being very clear in my first post.
plenty of other bands have survived and prospered very nicely with replacements for the original vocalist, and people at the time said it will never work, but it did (Genesis, Floyd, Sabbath, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice in Chains, Styx, and they're just the ones I can think of, there's certain to be numerous others)...so why should Naz turn out any different?
Is it blasphemy to add Journey to the list? I think Arnel Pineda is doing one hell of a job, although it aint quite the same without Steve Perry. I think the arguements for and against continuing are all solid, I guess ultimately the best thing to do, is to hear the new guy first and then decide if it was a good or bad choice to continue.
I'm sure that 99.9% of Nazareth fans would prefer them to carry on if they can rather than retire
At the end of the day, that is what really counts.
