Best Bands that Formed after a Member passed away from the Original Band

Either keeping all or most of the original members. Or even adding new members
But changing the name of the Band
And which one do you like better?
My first thoughts are
Joy Division < New Order
Mother Love Bone < Pearl Jam
ETA: I’ll make it a little easier. The original member either died or just left.

By no means was he a good musician, but I'd have to include Stuart Sutcliffe. They (The Beatles) were just getting formed when he was a member, but him quiting forced Paul to take over the bass playing.
Not to mention they became a much MUCH better group via addition by subtraction.
I guess you could include Pete Best as well. Terrible drummer. Once Ringo got in, they were on fire.

Rage Against the Machine ---- Audioslave
I’ll add
Bauhaus < Love and Rockets

genesis is probably the poster child for a band member leaving and the band continuing on to fame & fortune. Whether you think they were better without Peter Gabriel is a matter of taste
Al Kooper and Blood, Sweat & Tears is another one

The Stones - Brian Jones?
Fleetwood Mac
Journey - way better with Perry

But AS was considered a supergroup since Cornell fronted them... Doesn't count IMO
And Rage Against is still a thing, not like they disappeared. Zach still fronts them when they do actually play.

Literally meets the exact definition of what the OP asked.
Audioslave is just Rage with Chris Cornell as the lead singer.

yeah, I almost posted The Beatles after Stu Sutcliff left.
For another thread I guess?

But the singer for Rage didn’t die

What does that even mean?
From OP: Best Bands that Formed after a Member passed away from the Original Band (or left the band)
How does Audioslave not fit this criteria?

From a band member perspective, they were. Exactly.
Velvet Revolver had members of 3 different bands, so not the same.
From a musical perspective you are correct. But that’s not what the OP was asking.

The OP changed the description to include “left the band”

Ok let me clear this up.
After a little research. I discovered that singer Zack de la Rocha of Rage left the band in 2000. Audioslave was formed in 2001 without Zack but included guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk from Rage and then they added Chris Cornell.
So while making one of my favorite Supergroups. They also apply to this thread. IMO
BOOM! The End
