10 Rock Bands Without Any Original Members Left

10. Opeth

Opeth are a progressive metal band from Sweden, which seems to produce slightly alternative metal at an alarming rate. If they could somehow harness it as a fuel source, then all of their energy concerns would be gone forever.

The group were formed in 1990 by vocalist David Isberg, who pulled together a gang of fellow musicians that he knew from his time on the scene. When things weren't working out, Isberg recruited the guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt to serve as the band's new bassist.

There was just one problem - Isberg hadn't told the original bassist that he was being replaced. Whoops.

This resulted in a massive falling out between Isberg and the other members, all of whom walked out on Opeth, leaving just he and Åkerfeldt behind. Whilst Åkerfeldt has stuck around since that day, Isberg bailed after just two years, handing the vocal reigns over to his buddy in the process.

And just how did Opeth fair following Isberg's departure? Well, they've released 13 studio albums, many of which routinely appear in the Billboard charts over in America.

So, yeah, they managed just fine.
