SharkEthic: Bands Dependent On A Single Member

SHINFO 04.12.10	Fo sho!! Especially 1 and 5! There is no way those 2 would survive without Keith or Chino. Good call.
BigTuna 04.12.10	The Weakerthans The Mountain Goats Say Anything
sniper 04.12.10	Circa Survive (especially the first two albums, seems to not be a problem with the new one as much) The Mars Volta (Omar obviously)
Phantom 04.12.10	Metallica (Lars Ulrich)
Inveigh 04.12.10	I agree with this list fo sho
bloc 04.12.10	I like your profile pic
Phantom 04.12.10	MOTHERFUCKIN POPSICLES BITCH FUCKIN RAINBOWS
bloc 04.12.10	ALL UP IN DIS BITCH
Jips 04.12.10	the mountain goats arent so much a band as they are John Darnielle's project... thats like saying bright eyes, or city and colour or something...
BigTuna 04.12.10	Well, it started as a solo project, but it is most definitely a band now.
mmfarva 04.12.10	Modest Mouse - Isaac Brock mewithoutYou - Aaron Weiss Circa Survive - Anthony Green The Dear Hunter - Casey Crescenzo La Dispute - Jordan Dreyer
kirktastic 04.12.10	i would put Sigur Ros on here, cuz they wouldn't be the same without Jonsi
BigTuna 04.12.10	Manchester Orchestra - Andy Hull
shade 04.12.10	if you really want to put 2, I'd say Bryan Devendorf before berninger
sumyunguy 04.12.10	Um... Nine Inch Nails?
Jips 04.12.10	almost said NIN but didnt want to double post
Volt2187 04.12.10	Korn Arsis and the most obvious: Converge
BigTuna 04.12.10	Converge would not be Converge if it lost both Bannon and Ballou
eternium 04.12.10	Brand New - Jesse Lacey Opeth - Mikael Akerfeldt Thrice - Dustin Kensrue The Ocean - Robin Staps Isis - Aaron Turner Helmet - Page Hamilton Iron Maiden - Steve Harris Jane's Addiction - Perry Farrell Machine Head - Robb Flynn That said, most bands just wouldn't be the same without their vocalists and main composers.
sba4life 04.12.10	Opeth, Sigur Ros, Coheed And Cambria, Animals As Leaders, Periphery.
eternium 04.12.10	Oh. Alice in Chains - Jerry Cantrell Most definitely. Also, I don't think Converge would be the same if they lost any member.. maybe except Ben.
DoubtGin 04.12.10	Incubus - Dirk Lance oh wait...
SharkEthic 04.12.10	@shade: I stand by 2. I think more people would notice if Matt was missing on High Violet than if Bryan where. But I see what you're saying though, I just think a list like this will always be more dominated by vocalists.
klap 04.12.10	tbh i think the national's drummer has a huge impact on the band's sound. he makes the band for me
Zipzop5565 04.12.10	btmh: oli sykes
IleftyspankedU 04.12.10	Nice Dirk reference DoubtGin. Haven't been into them since he left. What about the singer from Muse? He's pretty much the band too.
Masochist 04.12.10	Paramore - Hayley Williams. ...Except I would've said the same thing about Nightwish, but they seemed to have moved on just fine.
Sowing 04.12.10	brand new for sure too...jesse lacey
Yotimi 04.12.10	No on 2 cuz Bryan is the man on the drums. Sometimes all I listen to are the drums.
Emim 04.12.10	NIN and The Almost.
R6Rider 04.12.10	As much as I love 'em you forgot to mention Opeth
intothepit83 04.12.10	ya, chino's the only member that matters in the deftones.... minus abe cunningham, chi cheng, and stephen carpenter. they don't do anything. nah, not at all. stupid list is fucking stupid
theacademy 04.12.10	korn - head NIN - Josh Freese Taking Back Sunday - Jesse Lacey Attack Attack - that faggot kid. Chiodos - Anthony Green Black Sabbath - Ozzy Taking Back Sunday - John Nolan The 1-ders - Jimmy
eternium 04.12.10	Well, Deftones are doing pretty good without Chi at the moment.. I do hope it's temporary, but I fear it is not. Chino is definitely the most important member. The vocalist almost always is. I couldn't see the band as being the same without Stephen or Abe though.
couldwinarabbit 04.13.10	Disagree with the National. Drums are far to good for Berninger to be the only important member.
kirktastic 04.13.10	"Chiodos - Anthony Green" Anthony Green isn't in Chiodos, and I would also throw up ATDI-Cedric
Yazz_Flute 04.13.10	Opeth - Mikael Akerfeldt Dream Theater - John Petrucci Glassjaw - Daryl Palumbo Thrice - Dustin Kensrue (well, at least it would be really strange without him)
Deviant. 04.13.10	"Chino is definitely the most important member. The vocalist almost always is. I couldn't see the band as being the same without Stephen or Abe though. " Losing Delgado would make a huge difference as well
ConsciousLife 04.13.10	I don't find the vocals in ETID to be that mindblowing. I think there are a whole host of people who could take his place and the band still retain their character.
WeepingBanana 04.13.10	sniper you're joking right? cedric definitely "makes" the mars volta more so than omar.
theacademy 04.13.10	you're an idiot^
theacademy 04.13.10	my comment was @ conscious obviously
ThyCrossAwaits 04.13.10	thought i should mention...Dillinger would be nothing without Puciato.
Lambda 04.13.10	lol Phantom
SharkEthic 04.13.10	@intothepit83: Try reading the descriptions. It's not about being the only member that matters. But Deftones without Chinos characteristic voice just wouldn't be Deftones... ...hostile retard.
qwe3 04.13.10	the devin townsend project (devin townsend) nine inch nails (trent reznor) and on a more serious note streetlight manifesto (tomas kalnoky)
qwe3 04.13.10	and weepingbanana is an idiot
SharkEthic 04.13.10	"Dillinger would be nothing without Puciato" ...and yet Calculating Infinity worked.
ThyCrossAwaits 04.13.10	watch 43% Burnt live and tell me its not better with Greg. either way, i probably should rephrase and say that they're heavily reliant on him at least.
SharkEthic 04.14.10	Saw them live a little while ago, and I do agree that Greg is very much the man! But should he leave the band, I do think they could replace him and still function as The Dillinger Escape Plan…though I doubt they would.
porch 04.14.10	"Dillinger would be nothing without Puciato" hahahaha
Rhinoceron 04.22.10	@SharkEthic: Well of course DEP could function without Puciato, but they certainly would be a LOT less interesting.
Dotcommy 04.22.10	Tom Waits - Tom Waits
SharkEthic 04.24.10	@Rhinoceron: Agreed!
McCopper 05.01.10	Opeth, megadeth, Triptykon (Celtic frost)
Surtur 01.08.13	Well, even though he's dead, Death and Chuck Schuldiner.
