Haven't read the thread, but wouldn't be surprised if David Lee Roth has been mentioned. I was/am a huge Van Halen fan, but never got to see them live before Dave left. I also liked Van "Hagar" a lot, but not nearly as much, and did see that version live a few times.
So I was pretty excited when Sammy and Dave announced a joint tour in 2002. No Eddie, but I'd still be seeing Dave doing "his" songs. Sammy came out first, and put on a great show. Then Dave--still had the VH look, but he spoke/sang the songs, and the swagger I had seen in the old concert clips and videos was replaced by some sort of Las Vegas lounge singer schtick. It was just...weird. Huge let down. The guitar player did a pretty good EVH impression though.
Saw him again a couple times when VH reunited (minus Michael Anthony), but by then I knew what to expect. Short hair now, same "Las Vegas lounge" type moves, not much of a voice.
Before/right as covid hit, I noticed he was doing a solo "residency" in Vegas and opening for KISS.
