Like Heart, I don't think saying what happened before the band was ever signed really counts.Judas Priest
(and I thought Ian Hill was an original member….but wiki says negative to that)
Mick Jones is technically the only original member left.Avatars.... who's original in Foreigner?
I have not heard of Mick at a gig in yearsMick Jones is technically the only original member left.
But he doesn't appear at every live show due to his ongoing health issues.
So it's either 1 or zero original members depending on the circumstances.

I was never heavily into Foreighner, but at least I saw them when Lou had rejoined in the late 90s. Brian Tichy was on drums that night if I recall.
As a Black Country lad lets clear this one up.Halford, Hill, and Tipon are all the first official Judas Preist recordings. Trying to claim they're not original members because a bunch of other guys were in and out of a band also called Judas Preist that no one ever heard is a misnomer of the term "original members" IMHO.
If stuff before the 1st record counts, Roth and Anthony are not original members of Van HalenLike Heart, I don't think saying what happened before the band was ever signed really counts.
Even the Wiki article states the 1st incarnation of Judas Priest split up, and then a new band was formed with Ian Hill, who then re-used the name.

I envision KISS becoming something of a franchise whereby there will eventually be several touring groups with members dressed like the original four. It'll be something similar to Menudo where the members are easily interchangeable.
Key difference is ABBA stopped performing in 1982. KISS has to go away for us to miss them.They recently announced that they’ll do shows with holograms as the first way for the band to live on.
Similar to and using the same technology as ABBA in conjunction with Industrial Light & Magic.
Apparently starts in 2027.

It’s not for me….but I have no issue with the Kiss hologram marketing scheme. Good for them, they’ve always been leaders in marketing. Who didn’t have a Kiss lunch pail in elementary?
But I’d rather see human beings performing. My neighbor is Ace Frehley in a Kiss cover band and I went to see them for the first time…I was very much impressed. They were fantastic. And after I saw the size of the crowd…they’re very popular here. I had no idea.
How much would you be willing to pay for this "experience" if it was one of your favorite bands? $100, $200, $300 and up?Too be fair, if a person had never eaten cheese, having it described as "pressed curds of milk" wouldn't relate the full experience, and that uninitiated person could be pleasantly surprised by the actual process of cheese eating.
Not me. I do have a Bob Ross one.
KISS was the 1st band I could communicate with kids my age about. They started to catch up when KISS hit.
My parents were wannabe hippies and my bro & sis were almost 4-5 years older than me. So all I ever heard at home was their music. Montrose, Deep Purple, Moody Blues, Alice Cooper, Brownsville Station, Led, Yard Byrds, Who's Next, Pink Floyd, etc..
When kids got in to KISS I listened and said, Ok, yeah. I can go with you there....finally.
