What are some Ship of Theseus bands, where all original members have been replaced by someone new?

The search results are interesting, but I haven't heard of half the bands:

Bands with No Original Members

  • Opeth: No original members remain, with the last, David Isberg, leaving in 1992.
  • Jinjer: All founding members from their 2008 formation have left.
  • Napalm Death: Formed in 1982, the band replaced its entire original lineup within the first five years.
  • Molly Hatchet: None of the members from the 1978 original lineup or first album are present.
  • Thin Lizzy: Still tours with no original members, including only two who played on earlier studio material.
  • Blood, Sweat & Tears: Has had nearly 200 members, with all original members leaving early in their career.
  • The Spinners: While they had long-term members, by 2010, the original lineup was gone.
  • In Flames: No original members from their 1990 inception remain.
  • Foreigner: Due to health issues, founding member Mick Jones ceased touring with them.
  • Judas Priest: No original members are in the current touring lineup.
  • Yes: Features no original members.

Bands with Only One Original Member Left (Often Considered "One-Member" Bands)

TIL there's a marathon run at 1210 meters below sea level.

"On October 25th 2025, 55 intrepid runners took on an extraordinary challenge: to run the deepest marathon ever run. Covering 42.2km within the Garpenberg Zinc Mine in Sweden, they descended to a staggering depth of 1,120 metres below sea level. No one had attempted a marathon at this depth before. Participants endured temperatures of 24°C and 72% humidity, in total silence and ran in complete darkness with only their head torches for light."

The Countries, Cities & States That Use Bidets The Most

The 38% for Japan seems suspect to me. I found this online from a commercial site, but the number is closer to my experience: "Bidet Toilets and Japanese Culture High-end Japanese-style toilet and bidet combinations might retain a degree of exoticism in the US, but they’re extremely common in Japan. According to NPR, roughly 80% of Japanese households own a bidet, and you’ll find fancy Japanese toilets in most public areas as well. "
