Somehow I bet The Pretenders are still relevant, even though I have never known anyone in my life to actually listen to them at any time.
They got a dead guy or 2

IS Nirvana still a band? I know they had a dead guy

The depth of field is totally messed up.

They probably all shot their parts in different cities, then someone edited it together to make them look like a band.

It's got cowbell though!

This newer BOC video is pretty good; definitely shot better

Somebody mentioned Priest already - how about Black Sabbath / Heaven & Hell since Dio passed. Amazing the original 4 guys are still around though.

Also Maiden. Clive Burr (original drummer on the first 3 albums) passed several years ago. Those first 2 albums plus Motörhead are the soundtrack to middle school for me.

Yeah, those are just a bunch of old songs.

No new material since Clockwork Angels

Same as Maiden, they put out lot's of live albums of old material, but nothing new since 2014

Not my kind of music and belief but the story about this band is among the craziest out there, portrayed in the film biography Lords of Chaos, buckle up for madness and idiocy.

They lost Jon Lord, still touring and rocking. Last album "whoosh!" came out in 2020.

Hell..in my opinion this band has a lot more cool rocking songs than Led Zeppelin. Deep Purple pinball would have been great

GWAR

Dave Brocke ( “Oderus” Singer )
Cory Smoot ( “Flattus” Guitar )

They lost a lot of their soul when Dave died and Cory was amazing. I’ve seen them almost every time they’re in the area since 1990, and it’s always a great time.

I don’t think they ever charted, but they got nominated for 2 Grammys. Last release was in 2017 and they’re still touring.
