Though the new guy is good…there's no one like Steve! ❤❤❤
ОК … ACDC but Bon Scott is totally unrereplaceable.
More successful does not always mean better.
Styx anyone?
Honorable Mention: Gwen Stefani taking over lead vocals of No Doubt after the original lead singer John Spence tragically took his own life. Stefani had previously been backing vocals when they were a 9 piece band
Tatiana Shmayluk replacing Maksym Fatullaiev in Jinjer, Angela Gossow replacing Johan Liiva in Arch Enemy, Dolores 'O Riordan replacing Niall Quinn in The Cranberry Saw Us (later The Cranberries), Mitch Lucker (rest in peace) replacing Tanner Womack in Suicide Silence.
New Order < Joy Division
Clayton Thomas, in Blood Sweat and Tears
Bon Scott was 10 times better than Johnson!
Syd Barrett was the best. Sadly only shortly.
"Here are a Few Honorable Mentions" yet then only mention 1…
R.I.P Bon Scott
The fact that Judas Priest wasn't on this list is criminal. Are you fucking kidding me? Most people have no idea that Halford isn't the original singer. Priest would have faded into obscurity if they hadn't switched singers and they don't even get a mention? Fuck you.
I swear, most of these fucking idiot commenters don't understand what the fuck "replace" means.
Idk who does the research for Mojo videos, but they constantly get their facts wrong and show the wrong people in the videos. What a joke
Before I start watching AC/DC better be number 1 ok close enough lol
Brian Johnson replaces (albeit deceased) Bon Scott and AC/DC make the second biggest selling album of all time…
So THAT'S Bruce Dickinson?
I'm how old and I just realized those are kid's phones in the Duran Duran video…lmbo…lol…giggle
“Ian Gillan” (then shows Dave Coverdale singing space trucking)
Rob halford was Judas Priest second vocalist who came on right before the album rocka Rolla was recorded
I prefer Peter Gabriel but i like both.
Didn't know Simon wasn;t first
Space trucking is with the guy from whitesnake. He’s even in this video. WTH??????????
The Best lead Singer and Front and The Entire New Foreigner Band Kelly Hansen . And Carlo Driggs replacing Mark Lindsay with Doug Heath, Ron Foos ,Danny Kraus, Omar Martinez Best Lineup of Paul Revere and The Raiders.
where's the cranberries?
Why no Slipknot?! Corey Taylor replaced the original singer of the band and they became more popular with Taylor. What do you think that they’re not famous enough or something? And I know it’s not because their type of music because you have other Metal bands on the list. Honestly Slipknot has sold more albums than a lotta bands on this list have! And and honestly are more known than some of these bands and are still relevant to this day, even though this list was six years ago but still.
Do another one of these lists
Cool fact about Bruce Dickinson: In addition to being a talented singer, he’s also a pilot. Talk about multiple talents!
Wish I could say the same thing about INXS when Michael Hutchence died and JD Fortune took over. I saw INXS in concert when Fortune joined them and thought he was amazing but that’s just my opinion
Journey Steve Perry
No anthrax
Well. Best thing that happened to AC/DC was Bon "leaving" the band, Bruce Dickinson is epic and listening to Panteras Walk atm^^
What about when Justin Hayward replaced Denny Laine in The Moody Blues?
Is Stephen Duffy aka Stephen tin tin Duffy. Anyone know.🤔
I'd argue that REO Speedwagon belongs on this list. They weren't a commercial success until the brought Kevin Cronin in as the lead vocalist for their second album.
Where's Queen And Adam? They're Really Successful.
AC/DC being successful without Brian too.
Black Flag
Where is Ultravox
