IRanOutOfIdeas Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 For those who don't know about Black Star Riders:After Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy died in the 80's, the band was revived in the late 90's essentially as a tribute band. A few of the core members stayed and the remaining roles were filled up by a revolving door of musicians (In fact, good ol' Fortus even played with them).The current touring lineup of Thin Lizzy was so good that they decided to release some music. Scott Gorham, the lone original member of the current lineup was very open to this idea, but decided to release the music under a different name out of respect for the original band. And thus, Black Star Riders was born and the debut wasn't half bad (There's really a good amount of potential for the future). When they tour, they play a combination of BSR and Thin Lizzy material.I feel like NuGnr is essentially the same thing as Black Star Riders when it comes to their scenarios. BUT, Black Star Riders doesn't get nearly as much flack as NuGnr does. Why is this?If there's anything else you want to add, feel free.Note to Self: Listen to Thin Lizzy moreNote to Self: Listen to Gary Moore moreNote to Self: Make a, "Would Vivian Campbell or Ricky Warwick make a good replacement for DJ?" thread.

wasted Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 well they aren't called thin lizzy. if this new GNR was called Nu Guns or Axl and the Roses or Rose Star Gunners nobody could really complain. it's just sentimentality of what the name stands for.

wasted Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 New music is like the Mcguffin in a movie called Axl and the Raiders of the Lost Vault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketQueen1985 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I saw Black Star Riders last year. They were okay, but I wasn't blown away or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin2002 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I saw Black Star Riders late last year, they were decent - Dead Daises were supporting though and I personally enjoyed them more than BSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 'Every chance was given' for Axl to establish new Guns, they had setbacks but he got the right personnel and resources and opportunities, now the ship has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRanOutOfIdeas Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 BSR isn't going to be a legendary band by a long shot, but I think they have potential. And compared to new-GNR, they definitely started on the right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
