Any Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands who have never changed line up since their start till their end? I've been pondering on this, can't think of any.
Just checked it out, Queen. They have never changed members and even after Freddie's death, there wasn't anyone hired to replace the irreplaceable. And if you're thinking about Paul Rogers, he's just one of their Queen + ... Projects. John Deacon too, he wasn't replaced, they just had a session musician in a Queen + ... project.
So Queen, first on the list.
Headgirl, a side project of Motorhead and Girlschool. Has never changed their members from start till end of the band.
