boxcarman, I wasn't trying to pick a fight, just saying a band with new members may be just as good as the original, and shouldn't be written off just based on the change in members.

Other bands keep the same sound with different personnel; I expect the Stones won't sound too much different with the loss of Charlie Watts. |
