Thin Lizzy Veterans Reunite Under New Name





A May album release is planned for Black Star Riders, the new name former members of Thin Lizzy have reunited under.  Scott Gorham, Ricky Warwick, Brian Downey, Darren Wharton, Marco Mendoza and Damon Johnson have booked LA studio time in January to work on the new release. Various former members have toured under the name Thin Lizzy following the death of front man Phil Lynott, but fared as poorly as almost every other group that has attempted to soldier on under the same name after the loss of a charismatic leader.  AC/DC is just about the only group that maintained momentum when they recruited Brian Johnson to fill the role created when lead singer Bon Scott died.  While Journey and Yes have managed to do decent tour business after Steve Perry left and Jon Anderson was ousted, neither group has the drawing power they previously enjoyed.
