Garbage...Heavy Metal?
Forums:
Did you know that the band Garbage, while not really heavy metal, has been a band for 28 years? Also, they have had the same members the entire time.
Trivia for today. How many bands can you name that have been together over 25 years with the same members? It is a short list.

I'd have said Yo La Tengo but their wikipedia shows Dave Scherr toured with them in 2015.
Not sure about Los Lobos, knowing Louis Pérez can still drum with them, but that their longtime drummer passed off the throne to Bugs Gonzalez around

Los Lobos added a drummer around ten years ago so Louie Perez could spend more time out front.

Didn't Aerosmith have some different members for a short stint in the early to mid 80s?

Yep, Joe Perry left in 1979 and Brad Whitford left in 1981. Both returned in 1984.
However, as I read it, OP was asking about bands who had the same lineup for 25+ years. It has been 36 years since Perry and Whitford returned. Not sure of Joey Kramer's status in the band these days.
If you are looking at 25 year period with the same lineup, Rush would also count.

This year will be SCI's 25th year in operation, but Jason Hann didn't join the band until sometime in the 2000s.

No, that was Tony Gilkyson.
No, that was Tony Gilkyson. Alvin was always a member of the Knitters side project.
They have had Billy Zoom back for most of the last 25 years.

I was thinking about Crue too, but Vince Neil either quit or was fired (depending on who you talk with) in the early 90s and replaced by John Corabi for a few years. Tommy Lee also left the band for a while and was replaced by Ozzy's drummer Randy Castillo.
Technically, however, the classic line up has been together for more than a total of 25 years, albeit not continuously.
