Session 3 of Classic Metal Class is coming up at 12 Noon this Saturday. I'll be joined again by special guest, Scott Tarulli, who will be providing some additional expertise and insight on our topic. And what is that this time? We're going to get metaphysical about a set of topics people often bring up when considering the changes in lineups of bands over time.
These include the famous "ship of Theseus" problem, in which a whole composed of parts gradually has all of those parts replaced - like a band that has no original members left (e.g. Thin Lizzy). We'll also consider the issue of rival versions of bands which include original/essential members (e.g. Judas Priest and K.K. Downing's Priest). And we'll also think about what, besides being an original member, make some band members more essential than others.
One additional topic we'll discuss is why this is particularly an issue for classic metal bands that formed in the 1970s or 1980s.
We'll be meeting by Zoom. If you want to attend and participate, you have to sign up for the session. Here's the signup form. Hope to see some of you readers there - and Scott and I are looking forward to a great conversation about classic metal!
