Band lineups that changed post pandemic

[ParaDime77]

The first l can think of is Journey entering the Pandemic era with Narada Michael Walden on drums, Marco Mendoza on bass a guy Travis Thibieaux on backup keys.

Post pandemic had Deen Castronovo in drums, Todd Jensen on bass and Jason Derlatka on backup keys/vocals.

Which bands can you think of that had different lineups post-pandemic?

And remember it was meant to be Randy Jackson returning to Journey but his back is fucked up or something.

Tesla. I heard Troy left due to not getting the jab, or something like that.

Heart reformed post pandemic and it was the sisters with Ann’s solo band. I think there’s some other fucker on guitar that was there since 2019.

The Crowes are on about their 15th (+) lineup change, and about the 6th since 2019.

First I'm hearing of that. He's always said he was just tired and didn't want to travel anymore, but I suppose could be cover for vaccination issues. Looks pretty silly in 2025, though.

British band Shed Seven lost their drummer due to him being some anti-vaccination nut during covid. He left for some some unclear reasons, but must have kicked himself after that a few times. The band is bigger than ever and had two (!) number one British albums in 2024. Which is pretty good.

Skid Row outted ZP Threatt for not getting vaccine as it was causing problems getting him into country for shows

Did they ever admit that publicly? When Rachel (or Snake) was talking about getting rid of him, they said that he had been in the studio recording songs for Gang's All Here, they said that he had done 3 songs, and it just seemed like his heart wasn't in it, so they gave him the boot. Didn't say anything about the vaccine or touring issues.

Not saying it's wrong, it just brings to light that if they're going to lie about that, what else are they going to lie about?

We heard it straight from Snake earlier this year, hung out for a couple hrs
Gave us the intel on every single singer since they rarely talk about anyone but Sebastian

Not Sludge bands but Spin Doctors and Offspring fired longtime members over the vaccine.

now knowing the vaccine was a scam, I wonder why didn't those that refused simply just get a fake card and appease everyone.

That idea didn’t work out so well for Paul Stanley’s guitar tech.
