What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member? (kbin.social)

My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole.

I think he's the primary reason FFDP is mocked so badly.

Worth it how? Either he exists in the band or exists not in the band. I think I prefer a world with appetite for destruction in its current rendition

I'm thinking that without him, maybe the rest of the band didn't have to be so drugged up to tolerate each other long term, perhaps keeping the original lineup for longer.

Maybe there is another singer they would've found which could've still led to them being famous, but it's hard for me to think that could've happened

From my limited understand8ng of their formation history, GnR was the result of fusing members from LA Guns with some other band named something Hollywood Rose. Axl came from the latter.

The LA Guns vocalist was Tracii Guns who took part in forming GnR as a guitarist, but left shortly after and Slash took his place. I'm curious how things would've turned out if he'd remained as only a singer.

Interesting. I forgot about the fusing of those bands. I've never listened to LA Guns until just now... so, to my ear they sound like a lot of other bands like Dokken or Judas Priest. As a vocalist, I think Axl is far better. LA Guns doesn't have a unique sound from what I can tell. Not terrible, I just feel like I've heard it before even though I don't think I have.
