Got to thinking about this after seeing The Who To Play At Superbowl Thread.
Are the Who still the Who without Moon and Entwhistle? Some people tend to see the lead songwriter as the carrier of the torch and as long as they are still there, the band is the band.
I was a huge Guns n Roses fan back in the day, but when Izzy left, they were no longer GnR. And they are definitely not GnR now, especially without Duff and Slash.
But then again, if John Fogerty started touring as CCR without his brother (well, he's dead I think) and the other two guys, I'd still consider them to be CCR.
Then again Black Sabbath, did they stop being BS when Ozzy left?
hhhmmm
