So you're a rock band. What do you do when the face of the band dies?
Why, you get back together more than twenty years later as, essentially, an official tribute act. That's what Thin Lizzy did. Okay, fair enough, you have to eat, I get that.
What do you do when some members of the band want to record new music? Well, if you have any respect for what the band was originally, you record the new material under a new name. Hence the Black Star Riders. So far so good.
It's just that now the Thin Lizzy Facebook page is full of Black Star Riders news. What was the point of changing your name if you're still going to take advantage of the old fanbase? You're not fooling anyone here.
