If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Reminder: December 23rd is going to be our Christmas edition of the Friday Night Guitar Thread. Get to working on your Christmas songs now so they are done in time!

It really comes down to some legal name ownership rights in the end, apparently. LoL

That's how I'm gonna view it. All sorts of other bands do it, so I suppose they can to.

'Snot gonna make me go see them. I'm not into sappy tributes who then don't recreate the music as it once was. Ain't no way Wylde is gonna sound like Dimebag. Some might appreciate that, but that's not really my cup of tea. As you know, I'm a huge fan of faithful recreations of the original. I don't demand 100% accuracy from artists, but it should at least be similar.

I make some exceptions for blues bands and jam bands.

Was it really The Who after Moon died? They kept the name and made a dozen awesome albums after that. I don't think anyone would argue that the 'new' band wasn't The Who. Well, I'm sure a small subset of people would argue, but you get what I mean. You can find someone who will argue anything, including thinking the planet is flat. There's a whole lot of dumb son of a bitches out there.

I guess it is difficult when someone in a band dies. Is the rest of the band just supposed to quit? Are they supposed to just let all the name recognition go cause some idiot overdosed to death? With most people being idiots in the world changing the name of the band probably causes you to lose half of your fans instantly. The retards won't know that the new band name is connected to the old one even if they are told they will forget.

It's a bit like the proverbial 'grandfather's axe' or 'grandfather's hammer' or 'Theseus' boat' if you want to get old school.
