Vai/Yngwie (Alcatrazz)
Vai/Roth (not a direct replacement, but close enough)
Vai/Whitesnake
Vivian C/Def Leppard

Replying to myself….Vai makes another as he joins King Crimson

What about Yngwie nabbing the Johansson brothers from Silver Mountain, with Yngwie's backing band going through several lineup changes. Yngwie's had so many good singers in his band it's actually kind of hard for me to rank them.
