* TheBandMinusTheFace: None of the members of the current iteration of Gong are either founding members or performed with the group during their 1970s heydey. They had been added to the group by Daevid Allen and he encouraged them to continue Gong without him after his 2015 death from cancer. In his last correspondence with the band members, Allen appointed Kavus Torabi, who had just joined the band in 2014, as its new leader. ''Rejoice! I'm Dead!'', their first album following Allen's death, does contain contributions from him on three tracks.
Added DiffLines:
* RevolvingDoorBand: Gong has had dozens of members throughout the years, and there have been several instances where the band has featured no original or classic members. Bandleader and founder Daevid Allen left Gong in 1975 and the band was subsequently renamed Pierre Moerlen's Gong to identify both its new leader (drummer Pierre Moerlen, a member since 1973) and their [[GenreShift change in sound]] from space rock to jazz fusion. Allen and co-founder Gilli Smyth reconvened Gong in 1992 with a mix of current and former members, with the two of them as the only constant members. Smith left the band in 2013 and died three years later. Allen was still leading Gong when he died in 2016, but he had encouraged the current version of band - all of which had joined in the preceding 10 years - to [[TheBandMinusTheFace continue on without him]]. Right now, the official version of Gong contains no original or classic-era personnel.
