Van Halen doesn't count, because despite Sammy Hagar & a different musical direction, 1984 was a diamond-selling album, so the band was hardly in bad shape...
Frankly, this is bullshite.
First of all - most hardcore fans of VH (my best friend growing up would have fallen into this category - a fan of every single track, pre-1984 - his response to 1984 was "meh") didn't really care for 1984 to begin with, regardless of sales.
Secondly, the band drew a huge new following, with a different style of music for the Van Hagar era - I am somewhat unusual, in that I like both bands and actually consider them "different" bands - just as I do (at least old school) RATM and Audioslave.
They couldn't have lasted with David for that first run much longer, so there's that as well, regardless of how successful they were with 1984.
So, how about Fleetwood Mac? Not quite the same deal, but they were established and somewhat influential before the Buckingham Nicks era.
Sabbath with Dio? "Heaven and Hell" so to speak?

I figured this comment....

In some cases, it may have caused friction with the core fanbase, because the band's "second" career hardly resembled their "first" career.
...kinda agrees with your comment?
I mentioned VH mostly because Hagar didn't step into a sinking ship, so their "new" career was pretty much just a continuation of their "old"...
