Many people have gone on to have solo careers but lets face it, the majority of them are all rubbish.

 

 

 

A good example i can think of is Robbie Wiliams from Take That. Bad examples include every single one of the Spice Girls who attempted a solo career ^_^

Bruce [bleep]inson left (and later returned) Iron Maiden because of his solo projects. They weren't a success tho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both Timo Kotipelto and Timo Tolkki have done few solo projects, but still their band Stratovarius is a lot better known than their solo projects.

I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.

Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains has released some decent material since Layne passed away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, John Frusciante from RHCP has some pretty cool solo stuff out.

Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

Page and Plant went on to attempt solo careers after Zeppelin, but they weren't that awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heard some of Plant's stuff on Led before bed (local radio station plays an hour of live "Led before bed") was of a few months ago, sounded alrite, for a 50 something year old. I don't think he'll be wearing his tight jeans and no top anymore. :lol:

Crikey, how could I forget! :o Should probably count Peter Gabriel as well.

 

 

 

Poor old Peter Gabriel. The thing people remember most about him being in Genesis was being a big flower on stage. And the thing people remember him most for as a solo artist is his play-do face getting bashed in in his video for "Sledgehammer" :P
