Thin Lizzy
Re: Thin Lizzy
Ik heb ook gestemd op het live album, eigenlijk ook vanwege al eerder genoemde reden(en). Als live act top, niet alle studio albums (voor zover ik ze heb willen aanschaffen) vind ik even sterk.

Re: Thin Lizzy
Sykes zit dan wel niet meer in de band. Downey en Gorham, die veel langer in de band (Downey zelfs de gehele lengte van de echte TL) zaten, zitten er nog wel in.Jeroen schreef:Exact, ik zag ze een paar jaar terug op Arrow nog en dat was best okay, vooral vanwege Sykes. Maar meer dan een degelijke coverband (die gezien de geschiedenis alle recht heeft die nummers te spelen) is het niet. Nummers opnieuw opnemen in deze bezetting zou ik ook niet echt begrijpen, aangezien de stem van Phil zodanig bepalend is. Daarnaast zit Sykes ook niet meer in de band, dus weinig echte leden uit de jaren 70 en 80.
Ze zullen toch zeker geen studio album opnemen want ze hebben als eens gezegd dat het zonder Phil geen Thin lizzy is en dat ze daarom geen nieuwe studio albums zullen maken.
Ik vind TL een zeer goede studio band. Ik vind alle albums zelfs behoorlijk goed. Een goede band is natuurlijk live beter dan in de studio, maar dat maakt hun albums niet minder. In L&D zit ook heel wat studio werk.
Re: Thin Lizzy
De geruchten gaan dat de band er mee stopt. Downey ziet het toeren niet meer zitten, Wharton is met andere dinges bezig en de rest zou een nieuw project opgestart hebben onder de naam Black Star Riders.
Vlaming in hart en nieren. Tot nader order belg onder dwang.
Re: Thin Lizzy
Dat is geen gerucht. Dat is al officieel. Ik ben zeer benieuwd. Goede keuze om níet met de naam Thin Lizzy te spelen (zou ook belachelijk zijn nu het enige originele lid Downey en ook Wharton weg zijn).
In October 2012 Thin Lizzy announced that they would not be recording new material under the Thin Lizzy monicker. The last incarnation of the band - Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, Darren Wharton, Ricky Warwick, Damon Johnson and Marco Mendoza – would be looking to form a new project.
Step forward Black Star Riders…
Today sees the announcement of the new band formed by Thin Lizzy alumni Ricky Warwick (vocals), Scott Gorham (guitar), Damon Johnson (guitar), Marco Mendoza (bass) with new addition Jimmy DeGrasso on drums (Alice Cooper, Megadeth, David Lee Roth, Suicidal Tendencies). The change in personnel came about as Brian Downey didn’t want to commit to the touring cycle a new album would entail and Darren Wharton wanted to concentrate on Dare and other music and film projects.
Black Star Riders is set to enter the studio in Los Angeles in January 2013 to start recording their debut album with the legendary Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush). The album will feature material the band wrote whilst touring as Thin Lizzy and the sound retains that classic feel but is very much its own as well. The Black Star Riders record is the next step in the evolution of the Thin Lizzy story.
"We are all very excited about the music that we have created for Black Star Riders. The synergy between the five of us has been phenomenal and I can't wait for the world to hear these songs." Ricky Warwick
The new, as yet untitled, album will be released in May 2013 through Nuclear Blast – the label behind acts such as Anthrax, Nightwish and Meshuggah. Black Star Riders are one of the first bands signed by Monte Conner – the former Roadrunner A&R guru who has signed acts such as Slipknot, Machine Head, Sepultura and Rush. Conner recently joined Nuclear Blast as the president of Nuclear Blast Entertainment, a new U.S. partnership he co-founded with Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger.
Says Conner: “As a lifelong Thin Lizzy fan, I was floored by this line-up’s new material. Not only do the new songs sound like Thin Lizzy but they sound like CLASSIC Thin Lizzy. Black Star Riders totally captures the essence of what was great about the original band while at the same time adding something totally fresh and modern. Even when I heard the band decided to change their name, my interest in signing them did not waver for one second.”
The band are looking to support their May album release with European festivals shows in the summer of 2013 and follow this up with worldwide touring. The set list will consist of material from the new album and classic Thin Lizzy material.

Re: Thin Lizzy
Het eerste nummer genaamd '' Bound For Glory'' is nu te beluisteren.
http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/musi ... for-glory/
De naam mag dan misschien veranderd zijn, maar muzikaal gezien is er niks veranderd. En daar is niks mis mee, want het klinkt erg goed.
Ben benieuwd naar het complete schijfje.

Re: Thin Lizzy
Aardige plaat. Niet echt bijzonder, maar ook niet verkeerd.
