i don't do facebook, nor do i text or snapchat, but then again i teach and coach high school, so i think it would be very detrimental to my job to do any of those things, even though i know teachers that do, and i also know a few teachers who have been called on the carpet for things that have happened while doing them. just not a good a idea....maybe, when i retire.

I think I would only be truly pissed off if i bought the cd under false pretenses. Then I'd be opissed.
I learned that about classic rock concerts 10-15 years ago: before buying tickets call &/or read first to find out which original members are left. I've had some BAD experiences.
You'd deserve everything if you got if you had no idea who was in the band if you're buying CDs or tickets.
Not that hard to go on this thing called the internet and see who is in the band.
With some bands, you have original lineups and classic lineups. Sometimes they are one and the same.
When the general public thinks of a band like Deep Purple, they consider the Mark II lineup to be the classic one.
For me, the classic Yes lineup is Howe, Squire, Anderson, Bruford & Wakeman. Your lineup may vary.
They've still got Howe and Alan White in the lineup. Though Yes without Squire is a hard sell for me.

Same, though I've kinda gotten used to White as Bruford's replacement.

Neal Schon has praised stand-in Journey drummer Omar Hakim as an "unbelievable musician."
The band had to bring in a last-minute replacement for Deen Castronovo after he was was arrested for assault earlier this month. They moved fast to recruit Hakim, who's worked with Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Kate Bush, among others.
He made his debut at the Hollywood Bowl over the weekend, where they were backed by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
Schon tells 98.7 The Gater: "Omar hit the ground running and then some. I can't believe he played as well as he did, because he didn't really know the material, and he had to count everything off for the orchestra.
"All the orchestration was written around live versions that we did of the songs that were not album versions. So I couldn't go, 'Just listen to the album, and that's what it is.' There's all these different endings and added bits and pieces that the orchestra wrote.
"He's one unbelievable musician – that's all I can say."
Journey helped raise $1.6m at the Hollywood Bowl Opening Night show for the Los Angeles Philharmonic's community programmes. It's the highest figure achieved to date. Castronovo’s side-project Revolution Saints launched their debut album in February, while Schon released solo title Vortex this week.

Jul 08: Calgary Fort Calgary, AB

Journey Drummer Deen Castronovo Charged With Raping His Wife
The Huffington Post | By Stephanie Marcus
Deen Castronovo, the drummer for the band Journey, has been charged with raping his wife in addition to several other charges, TMZ reports.
The 49-year-old was arrested earlier this month on domestic violence charges in Salem, Oregon and was released on bail.
According to local news site KOIN6, it's not clear if the new charges are related to the incident that led to his earlier arrest, however, the drummer has now been charged with "unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of menacing, one count of rape in the first degree, one count of sexual abuse in the second degree, four counts of assault in the fourth degree and one count of assault in the second degree, one count of coercion and one count of criminal mischief in the second degree."
Following the drummer's arrest, Journey announced that Omar Hakim would fill in for Castronovo on the band's upcoming U.S. tour dates.
"We have made the decision to have Omar Hakim play drums for the band's upcoming U.S. concerts (Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, June 20 and the Stadium of Fire in Provo, Utah on Saturday, July 4), as well as the band's Canadian tour (July 6 – August 3), due to Deen Castronovo's pending issues," the band said in a statement on June 18. "We are very grateful to Omar filling in with his musical excellence."
Castronovo, who joined Journey in 1998, replacing drummer Steve Smith, was also arrested in 2012 for allegedly assaulting a girlfriend. He is due in court on Tuesday for a plea hearing.
The Huffington Post reached out to a rep for Journey for comment.
