There are so many bands where long term and/or founding members go their separate ways but neither side will relinquish the name, being a receiving venue (takes tours rather than produces shows) we see so much of this happening and the fans just get really confused.

Not listened to the song yet, I'll have a look.

Better off calling it The Ripper (maybe not good for KK's ego) or Painkiller, or Sentinel or some other cool Priest song title.

You've done it now The Sentinel is one of my all time fav Priest songs and I'm going to have to put Defenders... on now

Entombed AD
Venom Inc
The worst is Bathuska different members releasing albums under the same bloody name.

Wishbone Ash are a case in point. As are L.A. Guns.

I was specifically thinking of Wishbone Ash as they used to come to us at least once a year and people always ringing to find out which one it is. They are one of many though!

Yeah, there's the band Wishbone Ash plus Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash isn't there.

Both are decent draws i believe. I don't think i've ever heard a Wishbone Ash song in my life. One of 'Arry's faves though.
