Didn't Motley Crue basically disappear after they fired Vince?
They did 1 album with John Corabi.

Deep Purple is like opening 3 cans of worms. First you have the singers..
Rod Evans
Ian Gillan
David Coverdale
Joe Lynn Turner
Then the guitarists
Blackmore
Tommy Bolin
Satriani
Steve Morse
then bassists
Simper
Glover
Glenn Hughes
I think the only permanent member was the drummer....

I don't think so. There was a second career, with all the original personnel, as a touring act. What did they do after the pause and reformation? Saints of Los Angeles?

I admit I thought of them for the thread, but really, as you suggest, Deep Purple is a tapestry - connections to almost every other hard rock or progressive rock outfit out of the UK for that era.
King Crimson is similar.

I thought of King Crimson too but they never really died out and came back. They were sort of always there - just with a different lineup every few years.

so, no Guns and Roses either?

Another continuum type deal - I mean, they fired Adler and chased Izzy off, then did Illusion 1 and 2, then scattered.
Whatever Axl has chosen to call his backing band rings hollow until this most recent get together and even then, no Izzy, no Adler.
Meh.

Ozzy's career would probably fit. Everyone thought he was washed up after Sabbath fired him and no one wanted to touch him. Sharon saw something in him and decided to manage him and his solo career was just as big as Sabbath.

I agree - certainly the Gold Standard for this kind of thing.
Technically, Sir Maca could fit, but not a real, "Well, he's done now" period - on the other hand, no one thought any of them could approach what they did with the Beatles.
What about Genesis/Gabriel/Collins? All kinds of twists in there - you had all of them, then Gabriel-less Genesis, then Gabriel after Genesis, then Collins in parallel with Collins-led Genesis.

Good question and I was wondering the same thing. They never really went away and came back but there were definitely two distinctly different eras. They were sort of there for a while and then they were REALLY there (referring to massive commercial success in the Collins-led era).
One interesting thing is how both Gabriel and Genesis had more commercial success after Gabriel left.

Weezer is the first band to come to mind. Their debut blue album was huge. Pinkerton was also amazing, but poorly received when it came out. They didn't put out an album for a while after that, and the Green album was pretty mediocre. Up until a few years ago, I'd ultimately forgotten about Weezer and didn't have much interest, outside of a couple singles that were ok. Then they storm back with two of their best albums IMO, Everything Will be Alright in the End, and their White Album. I'm not thrilled with Pacific Daydream, but they threw me for a loop as I thought they were dead in the water.

Good calls with Genesis and Ozzy. I guess technically Ozzy doesn't meet the criteria b/c he went solo, but he was so much at rock bottom, he surely obliterated everyone's expectations.
How about Kiss? They were riding a wave in the 70s, then lost two original members, saw their album sales tank, and the label was about to pull the plug on them...then they pull another gimmick out of their asses by unmasking, and the move yielded a half-dozen more gold (and sometimes platinum) albums added to the catalog...

I'll submit one more: "The Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis. On top of the world, almost as big as Elvis; he married his 13 year old cousin - fell off the world.
He started making country records in the late '60's and came back huge.

What about Green Day? I'm not a fan of them in any shape or form. But they had the early 90s punk sound and were hugely successful. Kind of fell off the map until American Idiot came out, and it was a new sound, and they took off from there. Seems like they've fizzled out again. I haven't heard much in a few years.

Fun fact: They actually had two self-titled albums. One in 1968 and the other in 1975.
