Best replacement Singer/Musician?
![tonadax](https://wc.vanillicon.com/cb1501959a04a26c1ca4d96ad9ae112b_100.png)
Ringo Starr, The Beatles - John, Paul, George and Pete just doesn't have the same ring to it, now does it?
John Frusciante, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Literallty saving the Chili Peppers in the wake of Hillel Slovak's death, John helped the band achieve its greatest success
Roger Waters, Pink Floyd - Many fans (myself included) love the Syd Barrett stuff, but Waters' is the one who turned in the classic work. I realize Waters didn't "replace" Barrett, as they were both in the original lineup, but Waters took over as principal singer and band visionary. I also acknowledge David Gilmour's contributions, but Waters is the one who really stepped up and led the band to glory...

don't get me wrong, I liked Jack, but I think Matt is the best drummer PJ has had
If one person says Sammy Hagar I want them banned for poor taste in music

Whoever the guy was that Glen Kotche replaced on drums was a MAJOR upgrade!!
Also with wilco they needed a lead guitarist to replace Jay Bennett and looking at it from strictly a guitar stand point Nels Cline is an immense improvment.
Now Nels does not have the song writing ability and pop melody that jay had but strictly lead guitar work... nels destroys jay.

Roger Waters was never a replacement, David Gilmour replaced Syd Barret

KOTCHE is the friggin man and so is nels (in a jazzmaster kinda way)
Phil Collins did okay for a few albums replacing Peter Gabriel on the mic, but Phil was in the band prior to that.
Brad Gillis and then Jake E. Lee did a decent job filling in for Randy Rhoads.
oh ... and I'll catch a TON of shit for this, but I do not care ...
Ronnie James Dio in Sabbath.
Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are Sabbath's best two albums. That's one man's opinion ....
... and I'm sure someone will say Sid Vicious taking Glen Matlock's spot in the Sex Pistols is worth noting ...
They just keep coming to me .... Neil Peart ... he wasn't on the first album (he didn't drum on Working Man) ... John Rutsy, or something like that, did ... this has to be a top 3 candidate ...

Dave Grohl for that other guy in Nirvana
Plus, on the Warmth/other songs before Kenney, Kenney tears them up.
Dammit...you beat me to it. And I couldn't disagree more with the person who said Hagar over Roth.
Chris Cornell replacing Zack de la Rocha in R.A.T.M.

Ben Shepherd replacing Hiro Yamamoto in Soundgarden was a great choice as well (I'm fairly surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet)

Kirk Hammet for Dave Mustaine?... questionable
Mick Taylor for Brian Jones?... also questionable
Zakk Wylde for Randy Rhoads?... even more questionable:D

Considering that I don't acknowledge Bernie Torme, Brad Gillis, or Jake E. Lee as "replacements"... yes he was:D
They were comparable to sluts he banged on the road... whereas Zakk was his second wife. Well third if you count Iommi..

If you chose Brian Johnson listen to Highway To Hell. I love the Back In Black and beyond but he is the reason ACDC are viewed as a joke band. Bon was pretty adolescent but has Brian Johnson written more than 2 or 3 songs not about shaggin
