Happy Jack Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Paul McCartney, died 9th November 1966, replaced by a lookalike early in 1967. Opinions vary as to whether or not this constitutes a reinstatement, but John Lennon apparently thought it was, so that's settled. Next question, please? 3 4 Quote
upside downer Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Glen Matlock? Sacked by the Sex Pistols in early 1977, rejoined in 1996 for the Filthy Lucre reunion tour as his replacement Sid Vicious was somewhat unavailable having died in February 1979. 1 Quote
Paul S Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 10 hours ago, MacDaddy said: Hugh McDonald. Played on Jon Bon Jovi's demos in 1982, played bass in Bon Jovi from 1994, became an official member in 2016. He actually played on all he studio recordings, too. Such was younger and prettier so was the 'face' of the earlier live stuff and publicity material. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Craig Adams left and re-joined the Mission. I can't remember his name but the original bassist is back with Ratt... problematic in that I am now the one who has publicly raised this! Quote
