Lynyrd Skynyrd are retiring :-(

I was gonna say, Ronnie 'retired' a while a go, as I recall.

HOW DO YOU RUN OUT OF FUEL, FFS!?


How many bands have successfully weathered the loss of their lead singer? I can only think of AC/DC.

People have found all sorts of extraordinary ways to run out of fuel. There was a 757 in Canada which ran its tanks dry because the captain requested 20,000 and the fuellers gave him 20,000, but he wanted 20,000 litres and they gave him 20,000 kilos.

There were all those slightly incetuous 60s bands that must have changed lead singers over time. John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, erm, other ones like that. Clapton and Beck were forever swapping around. Also see Page's involvement in such rock monsters pre Zep.

Was that the Gimley Glider? I remember reading about that. Some French-Canadian chap was the pilot.

I don't really count all those supergroup types, since they weren't real bands in the first place. I suppose you'd have to say Fleetwood Mac survived the loss of Peter Green pretty well, though.

I've edited to make the second litres kilos, as it makes no sense as it was.

We're forgetting Pink Floyd and Genesis, of course.

Was Barrett the lead singer? I honestly can't remember. Good shout on Genesis.

Yeah, he always sounded like a miserable ****, it's no wonder he went mental.

[redgunamo]

Genesis, of course. Good one.

Fleetwood Mac?
