I think you mean Pat Smear. He was also on the first two Foo Fighters albums too if I can remember correctly.

Does anybody remember a very cool power trio project called B.L.T. that Robin Trower did along with Jack Bruce and Bill Lordan? They did one album together in 1981. The single from the album was called Into Money.

Two other 3 piece bands in the same mode as U.K. was a Canadian band called FM and the German band, Triumvirat.

I forgot to mention the 3 piece band - Glass Harp with Phil Keaggy on guitar. He is amazing.

The Paul Gilbert Spaceship One 3 piece project is cool too.

Frank, the doors were not a 3 piece until after 1971.

moxham123 · Post by **moxham123** » Saturday Oct 11, 2008

Creedence Clearwater Revival became a 3 piece band in 1971 after Tom Fogerty left.

Switchfoot started out as a 3 piece band.

In the early 80's, I got to see a great jazz fusion trio consisting of Allan Holdsworth (guitar), Jeff Berlin (bass), and Chad Wackerman (drums)

Triumph, the early stiff was awesome and Rik Emmitt is a great player....

Doh! I was thinking of something else lol. The thought of them not having bass player made me think they were 3-piece.. Scratch them from the list ..

metalchurch · Post by **metalchurch** » Saturday Oct 11, 2008

Haha, yeah it made me think for a second there!

Speaking of them not having a bass player, were there any other successful bands that did not have one?

Banned · Post by **Banned** » Saturday Oct 11, 2008

Did anyone mention Mountain. The lineup I saw in 73 was Leslie West, Corky Laing and Felix Papilardi.
