groups who no longer should be without certain living members?!

Has any group managed to successfully become dynastic with children of original members assuming parent duties? I feel like logistically this is more likely with duos.

Feel like Cheap Trick is getting there with Daxx on drums and Robin Zander's son on guitar & backing (sometimes lead) vocals

Does DJ Yella and Li'l Eazy-E currently on "the Straight Outta Compton tour" count?

If it's just kids joining alongside the parents, there's a rich vein, with a recent highlight the current lineup of Crowded House including as many of Neil Finn's offspring as it does founding members.

(and special ILM asterisk for the pre-split lineup of Supergrass containing as many of Gaz Coombes' siblings as it did non-Coombes members in toto.)

Yella has done that N.W.A. Family cash-in touring nonsense for a while. Impressive that MC Ren has never been roped into it

Years of touring have seen The Weight Band revive “The Woodstock Sound,” keeping the spirit of Americana/Roots Rock alive for audiences of all ages. Performing their own music, as well as classic songs from The Band, The Weight Band is led by Jim Weider, a 15-year former member of both The Band and the Levon Helm Band, whose famed Woodstock barn group originated in.

Eh ...

take it to Tribute bands featuring original members

They paved the way for The Average Weight Band!

Weight, Weight
I never had a chance to load you

serious tangent here ―and maybevi should take this elsrwhere― but besides like schoolboy crush, does anyone really awb seriously? i mean, in hindsight.

anyway.

sorry i got so flabbergasted i littered myself with typos. i think you get what i meant. mostly i hate awb. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

so yeah. the band is cool for a legacy act, but not if it's nobody from the actual band.
