What's yours?
Ray Manzarek`s stand ins for Jim are well documented and despite being one of the greatest musicians of his era, the two Doors albums after Jim`s death that he featured on were very poor.

I can`t think of any other similiar situtation off hand, as the Doors situation was something that was forced upon Ray. Other very talented multi-instrumental players that quickly come to mind are Dave Grohl, Quorthon, Steve Wilson and Jason Pierce to name just a few.
