00:00Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español. I am G, and today we will meet the groups whose careers had a commercial boost after joining a new singer.
00:21Number 20, Sammy Hager replaces David Lee Roth, Van Halen.
00:26Van Halen exploded with stellar musicality and an unbeatable frontman.
00:38The hard rockers were on the rise when the noisy and energetic David Lee Roth left in a scandalous way in 1985, but Sammy Hager from Montrose brought with him something more than a new voice.
00:50With a better established group chemistry and an attractive pop, 5150 became Van Halen's first album, leading the list of hits and was the same for the next two.
01:05Even so, fans debate a lot about the comparison of this era called Van Hager with the era of Roth.
01:11The commercial argument was complicated with the return of Diamond Dave in 1996 and 2006, which made their total sales exceed the Red Rocker's.
01:25Of course, it would not have been the same without Hager leading Van Halen to the success that would mark a generation.
01:32Number 19, Michael Kiske replaces Kai Hansen, Helloween.
01:37Kai Hansen's burning voice and his melodic guitar made Helloween a unique 80's metal band.
01:46In fact, his seminal speed metal style was so intense that the frontman simply got exhausted.
01:52Then he became a choreographer and then he left to stay with Michael Kiske, whose more dramatic voice completed the growing symphonic influences of Helloween.
02:16The two albums, Keeper and The Seven Keys, are now considered the formal declaration of power metal.
02:22Then they became a phenomenon, as the band sold more than 10 million records, most with Andy Daris at the front.
02:33Hansen was no less influential with his successful band Gamma Ray and since 2016, Helloween has given him, Kiske and Daris their place as vocal co-leaders.
02:46Number 18, Corey Taylor takes the place of Anders Culsefny, Slipknot.
02:54Perhaps no group better exemplifies the style and visual aspect of New Metal as Slipknot.
03:06But the whole of Iowa was Mass Death Metal, among many other genres, when Anders Culsefny led them.
03:13The album Made, Fit, Kill, Repeat was a dark album that the band has qualified since then as a demo.
03:26Culsefny left the group shortly after being replaced by the leader of Stone Sour, Corey Taylor.
03:32His wide and melodic vocal range, as well as his scandalous talent for the show, were fundamental for Slipknot to reach the top with a heavy sound.
03:43They have sold tens of millions of records and are one of the most visible bands when it comes to shows.
03:54Taylor has proven to be a powerful leader, but Culsefny remains an active and varied performer.
04:00Number 17, James LaBrie replaces Charlie Domenici, Dream Theater.
04:06Created under the name of Majestic, Dream Theater helped define the genre of progressive metal with its musical virtuosity.
04:18However, his work with Charlie Domenici was not very successful with criticism, especially at the commercial level.
04:24In the end, it was decided that the most pop formation of the singer did not fit with the meticulous compositions of Dream Theater.
04:36In 1991, the American band recruited the Canadian James LaBrie as the ideal voice for his sophisticated heavy metal style.
04:44Since then, he has been with Dream Theater.
04:47In all this time, he has influenced countless musicians with a constant acclamation of criticism and commercial success.
04:58Fans continue to feel weakness for the years of Domenici and, along with the band, mourned his death in 2023.
05:06Number 16, David Clayton Thomas replaces Al Cooper, Blood, Sweat and Tears.
05:14With a jazz pop-rock that barely described his style, Blood, Sweat and Tears seemed destined for the top at the end of the 60s.
05:23His debut album, Charlie's Father to the Man, was praised for the dynamic voice and musical direction of Al Cooper, but unfortunately he barely reached the top 50.
05:33As the creative conflicts advanced, the band was left without its visionary leader.
05:38Then came the golden voice of David Clayton Thomas to catapult the second album, Blood, Sweat and Tears.
05:45Since then, the band has become a classic of pop with a rotating formation, although Clayton Thomas is linked to his golden age.
05:54Meanwhile, Cooper became a man of the renaissance in the music industry and was included in the hall of fame of rock n' roll in the late 70s.
06:03In the early 80s, the band became the most popular band in the world.
06:08In the early 80s, the band became the most popular band in the world.
06:14Meanwhile, Cooper became a man of the renaissance in the music industry and was included in the hall of fame of rock n' roll in the late 70s.
06:24Number 15. Joey Belladonna replaces Neil Turbin, Anthrax.
06:29The Trash Lovers acclaim Anthrax as pioneers, but ignore the fact that they did not have the initial success of the four greats.
06:37They had an unstable formation before meeting the vocalist Neil Turbin for Fistful of Metal.
06:48The 1984 album received mixed reviews, as it lacked the freshness of Metallica's debut in 1983, Kill Them All.
06:57The band was already facing tensions that ended up causing Turbin's departure and bassist Dan Lickler.
07:03At least they had solid sales, but not like those they've had with Joey Belladonna.
07:13Their intense voice and stage presence made Anthrax one of the most influential groups of its genre.
07:19And with Belladonna ahead of his years of greater commercial success, he is a mega metal star.
07:26Number 14. Justin Hayward and John Lodge replace Danny Lane, The Moody Blues.
07:37To be key figures of art rock, The Moody Blues had a very pop name in the 60s, because they started as an R&B group behind guitarist and singer Danny Lane.
07:48But after achieving a successful single with a version of Go Now by Bess Smith, the sharp fall of their commercial prospects led them to take a radical path.
08:03Lane was replaced by two main singers, Justin Hayward and John Lodge, whose poetic and high-concept composition had an important impact on progressive rock.
08:18This new style remained sufficiently pop to hook mainstream listeners.
08:26The Moody Blues became a sensation with the public and critics, rising above the trends of the 60s to become true innovators.
08:35Lane enjoyed his own successful reinvention, in particular co-founding the band Wings with his friend Paul McCartney.
08:48Number 13. Bernard Sumner takes over from Ian Curtis. Joy Division, New Order.
08:54Joy Division took punk to new commercial heights with its danceable style and the charisma of Ian Curtis.
09:06They were about to become a phenomenon when tragedy marked the end of an era.
09:10Curtis, who fought depression and epilepsy, took his own life just before the band's second album was released.
09:17Joy Division disbanded right away, but the members regrouped and changed completely.
09:23With the rise of keyboard guitarist Bernard Sumner as lead singer, New Order helped start the 80s synth-pop trend and laid the foundations for alternative dance music.
09:41Since then, Sumner has led New Order to success and popularity for four decades.
09:46Of course, the band's work with another name and another visionary leader is as famous as ever.
09:54Number 12. Mike Patton replaces Chuck Mosley. Fade No More.
10:00In the 80s, these San Francisco rockers faced an identity crisis.
10:12They went through two names and three singers before Chuck Mosley took over Fade No More for the album We Care A Lot.
10:20It was a success and its main theme a real hit, but Mosley's erratic behavior caused his dismissal after the second album.
10:28Fade No More then hired Mike Patton of Mr. Bungle, an unusual virtuoso and showman singer.
10:35Patton expanded the band's musical limits, guaranteeing them unconditional followers and praise as one of the most distinctive rock groups of the 90s.
10:45Patton himself became a prolific phenomenon of music in countless genres.
11:06But many artists praise the influence of Fade No More, going back to the late great Chuck Mosley.
11:12Number 11. Grace Slick replaces Signie Tolley Anderson. Jefferson Airplane.
11:17This band was one of the main voices of the counterculture of the 60s.
11:22Ah, two voices. Although Marty Ballin was always the male voice, his main partner was Signie Tolley Anderson,
11:29who helped establish the band's distinctive style with the modestly successful album Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.
11:42But Anderson decided to leave the band after being a mother.
11:45Then the album Surrealistic Pillow, which marked a milestone, had the participation of Grace Slick of The Great Society.
12:00Their powerful voice and stage presence promoted the commercial appeal of psychedelic rock,
12:06placing Jefferson Airplane at the forefront of counterculture music.
12:11Now Slick is considered an important figure among rock women, but perhaps he would not have achieved it without the underestimated voice of Anderson.
12:19Number 10. Phil Anselmo replaces Terry Glaze. Pantera.
12:28Fans who do not know the history of this band will be surprised to discover that Pantera began his career as a more traditional and glam-flavored metal machine.
12:37The original group from Texas had Terry Glaze in the voice during this time and published three albums with him
12:47before finally joining the native of New Orleans, Phil Anselmo, for the album Power Metal.
12:53Shortly after joining Anselmo, Pantera signed a contract with Atka Records that gave rise to his debut on a big label, Cowboys From Hell.
13:14The rest, as they say, is history, and Pantera ended up becoming one of the most popular and influential bands in heavy metal.
13:23Number 9. Henry Rollins replaces Descadina. Black Flag.
13:33The icons of punk hardcore Black Flag have gone through several main vocalists over the years,
13:39such as Ron Chavo Reyes and the former singer of Circle Jerks, Kate Morris,
13:44but it was with the magnetic and furious frontman Henry Rollins that the band entered its most progressive and successful creative period.
13:53Rollins was the singer who was in front of Black Flag for the longest time,
13:59since he replaced Descadina in 1981 and this step took the place of the second guitar.
14:09The resulting albums with Rollins, such as Damage, My War and Slip It In,
14:13came to influence not only the punk rock community of Flag, but also the metal and noise rock bands around the world.
14:24Number 8. Ian Gillen replaces Rod Evans. Deep Purple.
14:28The British rock institution known as Deep Purple had a solid start with its Mark I formation,
14:34along with its first frontman, Rod Evans.
14:42But it was not until Ian Gillen joined the band at the end of 1969 when they really began their journey to the super star.
14:54This was largely due to Gillen's ability to sing without limitations in future Deep Purple classics,
15:00such as Highway Star and Space Truckin',
15:03both of which were the first examples of the progress of hard rock towards heavy metal.
15:07Purple and Gillen toured the entire world of tour,
15:10and further consolidated their status as one of the most influential groups in heavy rock.
15:24Number 7. Steve Perry takes over from Greg Rowling. Journey.
15:29Steve Perry's crystal clear voice is the one most associated with the career of the Rock Journey legends.
15:42But the history of the band began much earlier.
15:45The leader of the band, Neil Shawn, formed Journey after leaving Santana in 1979.
15:51With Greg Rowling on keyboard and vocals.
15:54Journey briefly hired singer Robert Fleischman after publishing his third album in 1977.
16:07But it was the era of Steve Perry from 1977 to 1998 that had the most commercial success,
16:12with numerous singles among the top ten and successful world tours.
16:22Number 6. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks replace Bob Welsh. Fleetwood Mac.
16:28It is quite difficult to make sense of the tangle of threads that are the alignment changes in Fleetwood Mac.
16:41But what is not difficult is to know that the commercial profile of the group increased in 1974,
16:46when the former Blues Rock band incorporated Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks into its ranks.
17:01Buckingham and Nicks brought an unlimited and emotional passion to the composition of the band's songs.
17:08In progress, they softened the sound loaded with Fleetwood Mac riffs and turned it into a more balanced one
17:13between Buckingham's fluid guitar melodies and Nicks' charismatic voice and stage presence.
17:21Number 5. Simon Le Bon replaces Stephen Duffy. Duran Duran.
17:25Stephen Duffy's leadership did not last long in one of the first incarnations of the British pop-rock goliath known as Duran Duran.
17:32Although he helped form the band along with bassist John Taylor and keyboardist Nick Rhodes,
17:37in the end he was part of a long arsenal of vocalists who helped Duran Duran during his early days.
17:49It was with the incorporation of Simon Le Bon in 1980 when what most fans consider the definitive formation was consolidated.
17:57Since this version of Duran Duran became a true star of the 80s.
18:11Thanks to the fact that the music videos of Rio, Save a Prayer and Hungry Like the Wolf received a massive rotation on MTV.
18:28Number 4. Phil Collins replaces Peter Gabriel. Genesis.
18:33Genesis was responsible for leading the progressive rock movement in the 1970s,
18:39largely thanks to the magnetic stage presence of their theatrical leader, Peter Gabriel.
18:49Their first concerts were characterized by Gabriel's inclination to stage makeup and show.
18:55While the composition of songs exemplified the reputation of musical complexity of progressive rock.
19:01However, if we advance to the stage of singer and drummer Phil Collins,
19:06we see a group that takes this musicality and reduces it to its most essential and commercial elements.
19:13I, I, get so lonely when she's not there.
19:31It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all, that's all.
19:38Number 3. Brian Johnson replaces Von Scott. ACDC.
19:42Most ACDC fans would probably agree that the iconic frontman of the band Von Scott was irreplaceable.
19:56Until they heard Brian Johnson, of course.
19:59It was his debut on ACDC in 1980,
20:02which helped soften the blow that led to Scott's death due to alcohol at the beginning of that year.
20:08A magnificent collection of rip rock known as Back in Black.
20:20His voice followed the model of Scott's legendary interpretation,
20:24although the former leader of the Jordys never proposed to copy him note by note.
20:33Instead, the band and Johnson made their own path together,
20:37writing, recording and touring together for more than 30 years.
20:49Number 2. Bruce Dickinson replaces Paul D'Anno. Iron Maiden.
20:53Many members have gone through the sacred wings of the Iron Maiden metal masters over the years,
21:00but it is the coveted main vocalist position that has been most debated among fans.
21:10Iron Maiden was the favorite of fans in their native England,
21:14after working hard in the underground with their leader of Spirited Punk, Paul D'Anno.
21:19However, after two albums together, the problems with the consumption of substances cost the leader,
21:25who was replaced in 1981 by the former singer of Samson, Bruce Dickinson.
21:35The resulting albums with him consolidated Iron Maiden as a world power of metal
21:40and increased its commercial profile all over the world.

21:55Now, let's go to the end.
21:57Number 1. David Gilmour replaces Syd Barrett. Pink Floyd.
22:01The heavy psychedelic sound that characterized the first Pink Floyd
22:05was largely due to the founder of the band, the guitarist Syd Barrett.
22:09It was the erratic behavior of the composer, increased by the excessive consumption of substances,
22:15which ended up causing his dismissal.
22:17Vocalist and guitarist David Gilmour had already been with the band at that time to support and complement Barrett,
22:24but this change in creative control was what gave rise to some of the most successful commercial albums of the time.
22:33Gilmour's soft voice and his expressive and emotional way of playing the guitar
22:37went on to define Pink Floyd's new sound,
22:41attracting fans from all over the world during the 70s, 80s and 90s.
22:48Number 2. David Gilmour.
22:50He was the one who created the first Pink Floyd album,
22:54which was released in the late 70s and early 80s.
22:59Which were the best substitutions of these bands?
