cetera Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Tiran Porter left the Doobies in 1980, replaced by Willie Weeks. The band split in 1982 and he rejoined when they reformed the original version of the band in 1987. Ross Valory was sacked from Journey in 1985, replaced by Randy 'Dawg' Jackson. The band split in 1987 and he rejoined the reformed Journey in 1995... but was sacked again in 2020.... again replaced by Randy 'Dawg' Jackson! Quote

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! Juan Croucier. He was in an early formation of Dokken before he joined Ratt in the early 80's... Quote
bassbiscuits Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I'll include myself in this category - was once kicked out of my own band over some petty squabble I can't even recall entirely. I only found out I'd been sacked at a meeting to discuss my reinstatement some weeks later. I missed about half a dozen gigs while another mate got brought in to cover. World managed to keep on turning though luckily eh. 1 Quote

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. I think he was also considered as a hired hand on NMTB??? In the end Steve Jones recorded the bass, I think simplifying the parts a bit from what Matlock had. Around the time of the Filthy Lucre tour Lydon said that much of the animosity between Matlock and Lydon was stoked by McClaren anyway. Now is that something we could imagine Malcolm doing? Quote

MacDaddy Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 2 hours ago, Happy Jack said: 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? In a similar vein, Nikki Sixx. Replaced by Matthew Tripe for an album and a tour, then reinstated when he 'got well'. Allegedly. Quote

Yep, it's Jones on bass apart from the already recorded "Anarchy in the UK". They even put something 'subsonic' contributed by Sid underneath "Bodies"! Quote
NancyJohnson Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I was sacked from Last Three Standing because I didn't find the continual pink torpedo jokes just hilarious. I rejoined them for a gig, then left of my own accord. Quote

Of course, having an inferior but more outrageous bass player suited McClaren just fine. One can wonder though, if, with Matlock remaining, they could have evolved out of that first phase like several of their contemporaries instead of imploding. 1 Quote

I don't think so. I think the basic issue was that Jones and Cook were kind of 'power pop' (coun't find better word, sorry) and Rotten wanted to do something experimental. Matlock was in the same mind-set as Cook/Jones. I don't think Rotten would have done another album based on rock&roll riffs. Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 AC/DC All of them (except Angus) sacked 2017. Re-hired 2020. Quote

Such was younger and prettier so was the 'face' of the earlier live stuff and publicity material. If that's the reason, I'm definitely not going to look for a google image of Hugh. 1 Quote

Agree, listen to The Professionals (Cook & Jones) and it’s along the same theme as The Sex Pistols whereas PIL, aside from Public Image, well much more experimental. Quote
Combed20 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Ali McMordie from Stiff Little Fingers. Original bass player who stayed untill they split. Came back when they reformed but left a few years later and was replaced by The Jams Bruce Foxton. Bruce stayed for about 15 years (I think) and when he left, Ali came back. Quote
Old Man Riva Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Pete Way. He left UFO in 1982, to return in 1992... Quote
StickyDBRmf Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I quit my own band after the guitarist, drummer, and keyboardist had quit and come back at various times. For a moment. Then I rejoined. It was a political statement. They never could have got on without me. Quote
