Bands with the same members for a really long time (1 Viewer)

[the moops]

Rush - Lee, Lifeson, Pert. 40 years (1974 - present)

U2 - Bono, Edge, Clayton, Mullen. 38 years (1976 - present). Bonus points because those 4 are founding members.

Who else?

 

[Mr. Retukes]

ZZ top

 

[Ghost Rider]

Rush, U2 and ZZ Top were the first three I thought of, so there ya go.

Phish in its current incarnation since 1985.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

The Police don't record anymore, but still tour. It's still the same three guys.

Yeah, what's the good news.

Green Day, current lineup, since 1990.

nope

 

[Tiger Fan]

U2 is by far the most impressive

 

[Good Posting Judge]

U2 is by far the most impressive

Sure, but that's basically two dudes with two long-time, well-paid session musicians. Those other two clowns don't do anything.

Andy Summers is their 2nd guitarist.

Still, impressive

 

[the moops]

yea, impressive that they havent stabbed either of Bono or Edge in that timeframe

 

[Tiger Fan]

More Bono though. Amirite

 

[Ghost Rider]

U2 is by far the most impressive

They both do a solid job, and Mullen has improved greatly as a player over the years, but he and Clayton are certainly two of the luckiest people ever, especially when you consider that U2 splits everything they make equally four ways.

Metallica has been with this lineup for a while right? Although it was comical that even decades later they would refer to Jason Newsted as the 'new guy'' even after having replaced Cliff Burton (RIP) years before that

Chicago does the same thing with the dude who replaced Peter Cetera--Jason Scheff. I saw an interview with the band a couple of years ago. Scheff has been with them almost twice as long as Cetera was, yet they still call him the new guy.

 

[ShaqAttaq]

Jason is no longer in metallica. Rob Trujillo joined around the time of St. Anger

 

[SteevieG]

Motley Crue. They've broken up a time or two but when they are together it's always been Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil, I believe.

 

[Abraham]

Aerosmith's been a while too, I think

Uh, no.

 

[TxBuckeye]

AC/DC

[AcerFC]

They don't suck balls like the rest of these clowns, but Fugazi has no "ex-members."

but they seem to be on a permanent hiatus

 

[AcerFC]

Pearl Jam has had the same members for a really long time and even with drummer changes, its still been a long time

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Tool has had the same (not original) lineup for almost 20 years

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Paul Oakenfold

So far this is my favorite post.

Probably why they get along so well.

 

[Slapdash]

Need another Tool tour.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Motley Crue. They've broken up a time or two but when they are together it's always been Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil, I believe.

John Corabi replaced Neil while they were 'on a break'.

Tommy was replaced with a couple of drummers while he went and played solo for a while.

Not that anyone cares, from what I've heard they suck balls in their current money grab of a tour.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Motley Crue. They've broken up a time or two but when they are together it's always been Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil, I believe.

Vince Neil was replaced by John Corabi from 92-96.

TP and the heartbreakers

so has the bass player.

But other than that they are exactly the same.
