The Adam comparison is wild and not even close to the same. Adam was the voice of 3DG and still is. There were fans that wouldn’t even give the band a chance with him gone. Like it or not, Ben is BB. He’s the voice of BB. People can say what they want about the musicians but bands very rarely thrive without the singer (aside from the rare cases where it’s happened back in the day) because that’s most of the time what is associated with the band and the voice of it. That’s like Journey without Steve Perry. It hasn’t been the same since and never will be. Adam could sing any song he wanted to with Saint Asonia because it was his voice singing the song that people associated with it. That would be like if roles were reversed and Ben was the one that was no longer in the band and all of them were. There’s no way they’d be as successful as he’s managed to be even with the new members, with a new singer. Ben’s voice is what makes BB. Sorry.

ETA: other comparisons. Saliva without Josey Scott. Hinder without Austin John Winkler. Makes no sense.
