It depends when the original lineup ended, I'd say. Was Metallica still Metallica after they kicked out Dave Mustaine? I'd say yes. Are they the same band now? Not to me.
What about the Eagles? Again - without Glenn Frey they're not the same band but they haven't been the original lineup in decades. As @Butler_crosley mentioned, AC/DC should hang it up, even tough they continued after Bon died.
Edit: Spelling.
