* [[I Am the Band]]: A bizarre example. Mick Box, the lead guitarist, is the only original member still in the band to this day.

* [[Vindicated by History]]: Their first album was met with poor reviews upon release, with one reviewer famously saying that she would kill herself if the band actually made it. The album is now considered a landmark in the history of rock and metal. |
