Music Trivia -> Better Off Solo -> W
Sometimes a lead singer gets kicked out of a band, or leaves when their head gets too big for them. How well did they do on their own?
Band | Name | Comments & Submittor Name | ||
| Wall of Voodoo | Stan Ridgeway | This guy was obviously the brains of that outfit. A fantastic lyricist, who only needed a drum machine and a synth. anyway, his material after he left W.O.V. is far more interesting. - princejellyfish | ||
| Wham! | George Michael | He was doing fine prior to his arrest for sexual misconduct involving a male officer. He's still performing today, but he's half the performer he was both with Wham! and solo. - MOR | ||
| Wham! | Andrew Ridgeley | Andrew only recorded one solo album, and apparently was at odds with the record label over the direction of it, which is unfortunate, because he's a very good singer in his own right––kind of a "hard rock Buddy Holly" kind of sound. Andrew was better off in Wham, even though his vocals never got to be showcased as George Michael basically dominated the group. - Lisa | ||
| Winger | Reb Beach | A virtuoso guitarist who was stuck in an extremely crap band. Should have left the day he joined. - Matt |
