OutKick readers sound off: Five more famous rock band replacements we might have missed

OutKick readers sound off: Five more famous rock band replacements we might have missed

We asked and you delivered!

This past weekend, my good buddy Matt Reigle and I put together a list of six bands who got better or more successful after replacing original members.

Now that there is a dedicated comments section to our articles, we were able to see plenty of our readers sound off on who we missed, so now we are going to go through some of the most discussed omissions, according to you, our dear readers.

Without further ado, let's right some wrongs!

FOREIGNER LEAD SINGER KELLY HANSON SURPRISES FANS WITH NEWS ABOUT BAND'S FUTURE

When Journey formed in San Francisco in 1973, they did so with Gregg Rolie pulling double duty on keyboards and lead vocals.

The band spent the next few years toiling away as a jazz fusion group, but when they finally decided to make a change and bring in a dedicated vocalist to allow Rolie to focus solely on keyboard duties, they had no idea the diminutive Steve Perry (no relation) would be the key to unlocking their success.

Every massive hit Journey has ever produced has been with Perry at the helm, and they certainly owe their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and millions of albums sold to their front man.

NEAL SCHON AND BANDMATE JONATHAN CAIN BATTLE LAWSUITS AND POLITICS AS JOURNEY'S FAREWELL TOUR ROLLS ON

The '80s wouldn't have been the same without the marriage of Steve Perry and Journey, so they deserve a spot on this list.

This one pains me as a Roth-era Van Halen fan, but there is no denying the band found incredible radio success with new frontman Sammy Hagar in the fold.

It could be argued Van Halen was the biggest act in the world by 1985, so it came as a complete shock when they decided to jettison their acrobatic lead singer and go back to the drawing board.

SAMMY HAGAR’S DREAM ABOUT EDDIE VAN HALEN INSPIRED HIM TO WRITE A NEW SONG WITH LATE ROCKER

With hits like "Panama," "Jump" and "Hot for Teacher" catapulting them to superstar status, it was thought that no one would be able to fill the shoes left by Diamond Dave.

Enter Sammy Hagar, the fuzzy-headed solo act behind radio staples like "I Can't Drive 55" and "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy," and the rest is rock history.

With a slew of radio-friendly hits over the next decade, it's safe to say "Van Hagar" didn't miss a beat with the new guy behind the microphone.

I love both iterations of the band, and while it's hard to argue the band got "better" with Hagar in tow, they were certainly able to at least replicate their success from the '70s and early '80s.

Most of you reading this know Fleetwood Mac thanks to their monster pop efforts from the mid to late '70s like "Rumours" as well as their 1975 self-titled album.

What you may not know is the band started as a blues rock outfit in the late 60s with a man named Peter Green taking lead vocal duties.

FLEETWOOD MAC CO-FOUNDER HOLDS ONTO ‘FANTASY’ THAT STEVIE NICKS AND LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM WILL END FEUD

Green exited in 1970 and the band entered a transitional period before settling on the singer/songwriter duo of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

Nicks and Buckingham's penchant for brilliant and catchy melodies coupled with their creative and romantic tensions made Fleetwood Mac a musical tour de force, and the band became one of the most successful acts of the 1970s.

You couldn't go five minutes without hearing songs like "Go Your Own Way," "Dreams" or "Don't Stop" while flipping through your radio dial, and the addition of the on-again, off-again lovers is a big reason for that.

The Eagles were already one of the most popular bands in America by 1975, so much so that they had a greatest hits album from that year that would go on to be one of the best-selling records of all time.

How do you improve upon that success?

Well, you go out and get Joe Walsh to replace one of your guitarists and then lay down what is, perhaps, the most iconic rock song in music history.

EAGLES GUITARIST'S PARKINSONISM DIAGNOSIS FORCES HIM INTO RETIREMENT

When tensions started to arise between guitarist and founding member Bernie Leadon and the rest of the group, The Eagles put out a "help wanted" sign and ended up with solo act Joe Walsh.

With Walsh on board, the quintet would release two of their most critically and commercially successful albums in their discography, "Hotel California" and "Long Run."

The title track for the former also contains one of the most recognizable guitar solos of the 20th century, courtesy of Walsh and Don Felder.

Just for that contribution alone, Walsh would have found his way onto this list.

If there was one band who got mentioned more than any other in the comments section of our previous article, it was Pink Floyd.

I caught a lot of flak for not including them (though if you took the time to watch our video, we included them in our honorable mentions, but I digress), so here I am to make amends.

It was a crying shame not including the great David Gilmour in our article of band replacements, because he might be the most notable of them all.

Never has there been a more drastic change in trajectory for a band than when Gilmour stepped in for the mercurial Syd Barrett.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Under Barrett's lead, the band was a psychedelic outfit that had potential but was a little too eclectic to ever make it to the universal heights they would achieve in their later years.

Gilmour's iconic guitar sound and smooth vocals paired perfectly with the songwriting chops of bassist Roger Waters, and although the two can't stand each other, they made some of the most iconic music in history.

Pink Floyd is arguably one of the most popular and influential rock bands of all time, and they wouldn't hold that distinction if it weren't for the addition of David Gilmour.

I will take my lumps like a man for not including this one on our list. Gilmour is a legend and deserves his place among the pantheon of great rock replacements.

Seattle mayor’s Starbucks boycott call slammed by local radio host as coffee giant adds Nashville-based roles

Seattle mayor’s Starbucks boycott call slammed by local radio host as coffee giant adds Nashville-based roles

A local radio host accused Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, of irking Starbucks by calling for a boycott ahead of the hometown company’s decision to open a new hub in Nashville. 

Starbucks has appeared to lessen its presence in Seattle, acknowledging in March it would be closing five additional stores in the city. That move follows several closures in 2025, including the Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill, as the coffee giant plans to add or relocate 2,000 jobs to Nashville. 

Last year, Mayor Wilson declared at a barista picket line, "I am not buying Starbucks, and you should not either," according to The Seattle Times. The paper called it a "gaffe" to suggest locals should boycott the hometown company and KIRO Newsradio host Gee Scott seems to agree. 

WHY STARBUCKS PICKED NASHVILLE OVER SEATTLE FOR EXPANSION, ACCORDING TO LOCAL BUSINESS REPORTER

"The comment about, ‘I’m not buying Starbucks, and neither should you,’ should have never happened. That should have never happened with the leader," Scott said on "The Gee and Ursula Show." 

"I’m not saying that the mayor of Seattle is the reason that Starbucks is doing this," he continued. "I’m saying that there should have been a grown-up discussion and conversation."

Gee also compared Seattle’s treatment of businesses to other cities, such as Nashville and Austin. 

"Sometimes when you are in a relationship, and some of you maybe have been in a relationship where you could not afford to move, and somebody just talked bad to you any kind of way, or you’re at a job where you have to constantly come in and you don’t feel appreciated, but you don’t have another job or other options, so you have to stick it out in that job. You have to be careful the way you talk to somebody that actually has an opportunity to leave," Gee said. 

KIRO host Ursula Reutin added, "There are other cities that are waking up, or have woken up, and have said, ‘Hey, we’re going to compete for this business.’"

Mayor Wilson’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital

SOCIALIST MAYOR’S BLUNT 1-WORD MESSAGE TO FLEEING MILLIONAIRES SPARKS OUTRAGE: ‘WE'RE DOOMED’

Wilson also famously sparked a social media firestorm after she dismissed reports that millionaires are fleeing Washington state due to taxes and various far-left policies.

While speaking at a forum at Seattle University earlier this month, the new Democratic mayor said, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown."

"And the ones that leave, like, bye," she continued, waving her hand and laughing. Though the line drew laughs and applause from those in the auditorium, it did not go over as well online, as conservatives quickly blasted the new Seattle mayor.

"The Nashville office will be a complement to our global and North America headquarters in Seattle where we will maintain a large presence," Starbucks chief partner officer Sara Kelly previously told Fox News Digital

WASHINGTON BUSINESS OWNERS FEAR SOCIALIST ‘MILLIONAIRES TAX’ IS DRIVING BUSINESSES OUT — AND THEY’RE NEXT

"Over the next five years, we expect to have 2,000 support jobs located in Nashville. The majority of our support teams continue to be based here in Seattle," Kelly added. "Nashville-based roles will include a combination of net new roles being created to support growth, some in-sourcing as we move some work from contract workers and professional service providers to full-time Starbucks partner roles, and in some cases, moving select teams from Seattle to Nashville as we did recently with our Sourcing teams."

Wilson shocked many political observers when she was elected Seattle's mayor last year, and many chalked up her victory to her ability to tap into a similar voting bloc that democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani used on his way to becoming New York City's mayor.

Fox News Digital’s Rachel del Guidice and Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report.

Ballmaxxing is "electrifying, addictive, euphoric and transcendental" according to those pursuing bigger balls

Ballmaxxing is "electrifying, addictive, euphoric and transcendental" according to those pursuing bigger balls

If we're going to have looksmaxxing, we might as well have ballmaxxing too, am I right? To be clear, I'm not advocating that either should be a thing, but since nobody is putting a stop to the one, why not have the other?

Looksmaxxing is a bizarre "online self-improvement practice," according to Wikipedia. It's focused on the process of maximizing one's physical attractiveness. Now ballmaxxing is slightly different from that.

Ballmaxxing is all about going for the biggest balls possible. Why? Who really knows, but it's here and, according to Men's Health, there are some who have been wrapped up in the pursuit of bigger balls for many years.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

A 57-year-old man by the name of Marcus told the men's lifestyle magazine that he's been obsessed with making his balls bigger for decades. It's a "passion he thinks grew out of the comic books he’d read as a child."

By his own measurements, his scrotum is "bigger than a mango" at 14.5 inches. He has managed to grow it to that size by injecting a surgical lubricant called Surgilube.

Why? He's not sure. But he's learned a few things along the way. He said, "I'm astonished at how flexible the testicles are. They just expand."

Fascinating. Not only that there's someone out there doing that, but that he's not alone. Men's Health reports there's a subreddit for "saline inflation" that has more than 8,700 members.

They are, of course, sharing their own ballmaxxing journeys with one another. A journey described by Jack, 31, who told Men's Health, "Nothing really matches experiencing it yourself."

The blue-collar worker added, "You have to talk yourself into doing it, find the time, get everything prepped, and then sit there for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half while it takes effect."

There's a "burning sensation" that is apparently part of the whole experience. An experience that has been described as "electrifying, addictive, euphoric and transcendental."

One may come to the conclusion that perhaps they have too much free time on their hands if they're pumping saline into their balls for fun. I say at least they're not carving people up in their basements.

'Left-wing extremists,' cartels move into crosshairs in Trump terror shift beyond ISIS

'Left-wing extremists,' cartels move into crosshairs in Trump terror shift beyond ISIS

The Trump administration’s new counterterrorism strategy expands the scope of U.S. national security policy to include drug cartels and domestic extremist groups alongside traditional jihadist threats — a shift that could widen how counterterrorism tools are deployed at home and abroad.

A 16-page strategy released to reporters Wednesday identifies three primary sources of terrorist threats: "narcoterrorists and transnational gangs," "legacy Islamist terrorists," and "violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists" — marking a break from post-9/11 frameworks that centered largely on groups like ISIS and al Qaeda.

The document lays out a three-part approach to combating those threats: identifying terrorist actors and plots before they occur, cutting off funding and recruitment pipelines, and ultimately dismantling established networks — a framework that signals a more expansive use of intelligence, financial and military tools across multiple threat categories.

The strategy broadens the definition of terrorism in ways that could extend national security powers beyond traditional jihadist groups — opening the door to expanded use of military, intelligence and law enforcement tools against cartels and actors inside the United States.

TRUMP REWRITES NATIONAL SECURITY PLAYBOOK AS MASS MIGRATION OVERTAKES TERRORISM AS TOP US THREAT

At the same time, the strategy takes aim at the intelligence community, arguing it has been "mired in old ways of looking at threats" and, at times, "weaponized" for political purposes — language that underscores the administration’s push to reshape how counterterrorism priorities are defined and executed.

The strategy expands the counterterrorism mission to include domestic extremist violence, particularly from what officials describe as left-wing ideological movements — a shift that places greater emphasis on identifying and disrupting networks operating inside the United States.

White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka said the administration is focused on politically motivated violence domestically and would use "all the tools constitutionally available" to identify and disrupt extremist actors.

TRUMP ADMIN TO HOLD GLOBAL SUMMIT ON COUNTERING ANTIFA, SOURCES CONFIRM

He pointed to recent high-profile attacks, including the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as examples of what he described as a broader rise in extremist violence.

"If you look at the Tyler Robinson, as you mentioned, the murder of the assassin, of Charlie Kirk. If you look at Robert Westman, the murderer of the little children of the Annunciation Catholic School last year, we see an ideology that, ostensibly, began by preaching tolerance, being used by specific actors to wage violence against the most innocent, little children at Catholic schools at churches. This is a threat we will take very seriously."

"Whether you are right wing inspired or left being inspired, the point at which you advocate for violence or use violence yourself, for political purposes, means you are actually undertaking terrorism," Gorka went on.

The strategy calls for mapping and disrupting "violent left-wing extremists" using available law enforcement authorities, a move that could expand how federal agencies apply counterterrorism tools in domestic cases.

The strategy also elevates drug cartels to a central national security threat, embedding them alongside jihadist groups as a core counterterrorism priority — a shift that blurs the line between traditional criminal organizations and designated terrorist actors.

Gorka framed cartel violence as a direct and ongoing threat to the United States, arguing the scale of deaths tied to drug trafficking now rivals wartime losses.

"More Americans were murdered by illicit drugs smuggled across the border by cartels in one year than in 70 years of combat fatalities of U.S. service men and women," he said. "They declared war on us. We are responding."

The strategy builds on actions already underway, including the designation of major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and a military campaign targeting suspected smuggling operations — steps that expand the range of tools available to confront cartel networks.

Recent operations have targeted suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific as part of what officials describe as an ongoing effort to combat "narcoterrorism," signaling a more sustained operational posture.

"If we know where you are, if you killed Americans, if you're plotting to kill Americans, within 72 hours, we can kill you, we can arrest you or we can kill you," Gorka said.

Beyond domestic and cartel-related threats, the strategy places Iran at the center of the global terrorism landscape, describing the regime as the most significant state-backed threat facing the United States — reinforcing a continued focus on Tehran’s role in supporting proxy networks.

"The greatest threat to the United States emanating from the Middle East comes specifically from Iran," the document states, citing both Tehran’s military capabilities and its backing of groups such as Hezbollah.

Gorka echoed that assessment, arguing many global threats ultimately trace back to Iran. 

"Nine out of ten times, you scratch the surface of that threat, and three nanometers later, you find Iran," he said.

The strategy calls for continued military, intelligence and covert operations against Iran and its network of proxies, signaling those efforts will persist "until the regime in Tehran is no longer a threat to the United States."

The document also emphasizes more aggressive use of military, financial and intelligence tools, alongside increased pressure on allies to take on greater responsibility in combating shared threats, pointing to a wider, more integrated counterterrorism posture going forward.

Jon Rahm reaches agreement with DP World Tour, triggering major speculation about a LIV Golf exit

Jon Rahm reaches agreement with DP World Tour, triggering major speculation about a LIV Golf exit

It cost him, literally, but Jon Rahm has reached an agreement with the DP World Tour that will allow the two-time major champion to compete on the European golf circuit this season.

In March, this was an outcome that felt quite distant, with the Spaniard claiming that the DP World Tour was "extorting players" who wanted to play on the circuit and return from LIV. With the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) pulling its funding of LIV, that undoubtedly changed the perspective for both Rahm and the execs of the tour.

"There's no longer a standoff. We were able to reach an agreement. There was some concessions on both sides. I offered some; they extended an olive branch," Rahm said, when asked about the standoff with the DP World Tour ahead of this week's LIV event in Virginia. "Obviously, we've reached an agreement. That will not be a stress anymore."

The DP World Tour released a statement on Tuesday confirming the news of its agreement with Rahm, noting it included "payments of all outstanding fines accrued from 2024 to date." While exact details of the agreement may never be disclosed in full, it appears to be a similar deal that eight other LIV golfers agreed to back in February to regain access to playing in DP World Tour events.

It is believed that Rahm accrued fines of up to $3 million for playing conflicting events on LIV after signing on with the league ahead of the 2024 campaign.

This now leads us to the question of what this agreement means for Rahm's future with LIV Golf, with the circuit's future beyond 2026 entirely up in the air.

When asked about where things stand in terms of his future with LIV, Rahm alluded to his lengthy contract, but chose to use an interesting phrase.

"As of right now, I have several years on my contract left, and I'm pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that," Rahm explained. "So I don't see many ways out, and as of right now, I'm not really thinking about it since we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. So it's not something I want to think about just yet."

Admitting that you "don't see many ways out" of your multi-year contract with LIV's future past this current season being nothing but an enormous question mark, likely wasn't the vote of confidence LIV CEO Scott O'Neil was looking for.

Rahm coming to terms with the DP World Tour certainly feels like him cracking the door open for a potential LIV exit. That exit would be made easier if LIV doesn't exist in the new year, but for now, he is under contract with an entity that has reportedly paid him well over $100 million.

DOJ sues Denver over ban on ‘assault weapons’

DOJ sues Denver over ban on ‘assault weapons’

The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it has filed a lawsuit against the city of Denver, Colorado, "alleging that the City unconstitutionally bans certain constitutionally protected semi-automatic rifles."

"These laws unconstitutionally infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms in common use for lawful purposes," according to the Justice Department.

"The Constitution is not a suggestion and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right," Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. "Denver's ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles directly violates the right to bear arms. This Department of Justice will vigorously defend the liberties of law-abiding citizens nationwide."

The 12-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado names the City and County of Denver, Colorado, and the Denver Police Department as defendants. It said Denver has an ordinance that makes it "a crime to carry, store, keep, manufacture, sell, or otherwise possess a so-called ‘assault weapon,’" but that the ordinance contains "politically charged rhetoric."

"The term ‘assault weapon' is not a technical term used in the firearms industry. Rather, as Justice Thomas has aptly noted, ’assault weapon' is a rhetorically charged political term developed by anti-gun publicists," the complaint reads. "In reality, the firearms the City calls ‘assault weapons’ include ordinary semiautomatic rifles possessed by millions of law-abiding Americans. Indeed, Americans own literally tens of millions of AR-15 style rifles, the paradigmatic ‘assault weapon’ covered by the Ordinance. As the Supreme Court has recently recognized, the AR-15 is the most popular rifle in America."

"When the City banned AR-15 style rifles with standard capacity magazines, it banned an arm in common use for  lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens," the complaint added. "Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment, and the United States brings this action to vindicate the rights of Denver citizens whose rights have been — and are continuing to be — violated by Defendants."

The complaint calls for declaratory and injunctive relief. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Denver mayor's office and Denver Police Department for comment.

The office of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston released a statement Monday saying he was joined "by public safety and civic leaders in rejecting a demand from the U.S. Department of Justice to repeal the city's longstanding ban on assault weapons."

"The demand, which suggested a lawsuit would be filed if Denver does not comply, came last week in a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice," the Democrat's office said. 

"Our first job is to keep Denverites safe, and we will not be intimidated out of doing it," Johnston said in a statement. "Denver's law has stood for 37 years because it works, it saves lives, and it reflects the values of our community. No demand or lawsuit from Washington is going to change that."

Johnston's office said "Denver’s law was passed in 1989 and restricts the possession and sale of guns with magazines carrying more than 15 rounds," and that "Denver retains clear legal authority to regulate firearms within its borders to protect public safety, and the ordinance is consistent with both Colorado law and the U.S. Constitution."

However, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said Tuesday that, "I have directed the Civil Rights Division, through our new Second Amendment Section, to defend law-abiding Americans from restrictions such as those we are challenging in these cases."

"Law-abiding Americans, regardless of what city or state they reside in, should not have to live under threat of criminal sanction just for exercising their Second Amendment right to possess arms which are owned by tens of millions of their fellow citizens," Dhillon continued.

"In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its landmark decision District of Columbia v. Heller, held that the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to possess weapons that are in common use for lawful purposes," the Justice Department said.

Kansas City church moves services underground to shield illegal immigrants from ICE enforcement

Kansas City church moves services underground to shield illegal immigrants from ICE enforcement

A Kansas City, Kansas, church has moved its services underground in order to protect illegal immigrants from federal immigration enforcement, according to a new report.

"It is ironic and shameful, is it not, that the safe spaces we call sanctuaries are no longer safe spaces," Rick Behrens, senior pastor at Grandview Park Presbyterian Church, told the Kansas Reflector. "Because we are under attack from our own government." 

According to the Reflector, services will now be held in a church basement. The story continued, saying that Behrens "moved services to the locked basement in response to the administration’s decision to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to enter churches."

In January 2025, the Trump administration rescinded a Biden-era policy that restricted immigration enforcement actions in or near houses of worship, schools, hospitals and other protected areas. At the time, a DHS spokesperson said the move would empower law enforcement and stop criminals from "being able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest."

In addition to moving services, the church has also become a training hub for community activists, according to the report, teaching volunteers how to "spot immigration enforcement officers, accompany immigrants, and monitor the courts."

SAN DIEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT BEEFS UP SECURITY, PROVIDE SCRIPTS TO KEEP ICE AWAY: REPORT

Behrens was among several faith leaders and immigration activists who spoke at an interfaith prayer vigil last week, encouraging larger churches to take action as Kansas City prepares to host six matches during the FIFA World Cup this summer.

Other community leaders have also taken steps in anticipation of possible ICE raids.

Jess Ferrell, executive director of the Center of Grace community center, explained she organized a group of volunteers to accompany 48 children back to their homes after she said she received an anonymous tip that ICE agents would conduct a raid at the church’s parent pickup one day.

"We realized we do not have a way to safely get (the kids) off our property home with their parents, who are at work, because armed agents might show up and try to kidnap their parents in front of them, using children as bait," Ferrell told the Reflector.

POLL FINDS SHARP RISE IN YOUNG MEN CALLING RELIGION 'VERY IMPORTANT'

Jacob Poindexter, senior minister at Wichita United Church of Christ, framed the situation as a moral choice between supporting immigrants and opposing federal immigration enforcement.

"Which side are you going to be on? Which side are we going to take a risk for?" he asked. "Because you’re taking a risk, no matter which side you choose. If you do nothing, you are taking a risk. If you do something, at least it’s a worthwhile risk."

In January, plans to build an ICE detention center in Kansas City were halted after the Kansas City Council passed a five-year ban on permits for non-municipal detention centers, following community backlash, according to KCUR.

DHS did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
