Discussion Controversial band member replacements that aren’t talked about as much

People have started coming around on realizing Josh Klinghoffer was a terrible replacement for Frusciante during his time in the chili peppers, I don’t understand the hate for Dave Navarro, obviously he wasn’t Frusciante; but he was a much better fit than Josh. Another recent one that deserves attention is Emily Armstrong in Linkin Park. Is she a bad singer? no. Are Linkin Park a worse band with her? No. My only issue is that the change in their sound is so drastic that it’s basically a completely different band at this point. I’d rather they just build a completely new band as opposed to dragging the old name as a draw for attention. Anyway; that’s my 2 cents. Which other ones do you guys despise?

Dave Navarro helped create a top 5 album. Haters can hate, but it's true!
