Vicariously is how live. Carelessly is sometimes how we forgive. He, she, it, they who laid claim on making music the universal language forgot to include in bright print: You cannot break up and or replace any member until the final fan has passed into a different time.
Don't you think that's feasibly equal when divvying the rights of why success landed upon the plate of fate?
I'm thinkin so...
Why then have we stood back like pretty little Princesses and accepted "musical divorce" to be as common as pumpkins on Halloween?
It shouldn't be! Fans play a huge part in the uprising.
I'm still pissed that Gene Simmons fired Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. I've never forgiven Eddie Van Halen for cheating on Diamond Dave and bringing home a new love named Sammy Hager to whom he dumped on in later chapters. Only to learn that Sammy was the top dog on a short list of wanna-be's that Joe Perry thought would be the perfect fit after Steven Tyler's stage diving slip.
Country Music and Hip Hop keep their fan support upright. You can have my talent but for only one night. Jay Z sings with Kanye, Lil Jon messes with Ying Yang, Usher pulls in Ludacris while Brooks meets Dunn, Montgomery creates with Gentry, Kelly Clarkson hangs her hat on Jason Alden and so on...they know the fame game works with fans when those in the stands grasp the concept of "just for a moment."
Not Rock! Full time resurrections are designed to make connections. Am I the only fan that's pissed that Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon aren't plucking feathers with the Eagles? Why isn't Lou Graham singing lead in Foreigner? Michael Mcdonald always has permission to visit the Doobie Brothers but seriously...it's nothing without Tom Johnston!
Guess Who "isn't" without Burton Cummings. Bachman Turner Overdrive gets a seriously flat tire on the rocks every day highway without the brother combination of Randy and Robin.
You'll never see Barry Gibb hit fans up for another tour. Nor will Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr stack the Marshalls in front of the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame and saying, "The Beatles are together again."
Who's got me upset, bent out of shape and completely knocked off the wagon? Thin Lizzy!
Rollingstone Magazine reports the band is set to record their first album in nearly 30 years, and their first without original frontman Phil Lynott, HotPress.com reports. Guitarist Scott Gorham said the group will work with producer Kevin Shirley on the new album, and that recording will likely start next month. "I'll be going out to Los Angeles at the end of the month to work on some songs with [guitarist] Damon [Johnson] and then I think we will start recording in October in our producer Kevin Shirley's studio," Gorham said.
"We are all excited about the new record but especially [vocalist] Ricky [Warwick] and Damon, they just can’t wait to start recording!" said Gorham. "You have got six guys there that are chomping at the bit that can't wait to get this thing going."
The current Thin Lizzy lineup includes Gorham, Warwick and Johnson along with founding member Brian Downey, longtime keyboardist Darren Wharton and bassist Marco Mendoza. Lynott died in 1986 at age 36. Thin Lizzy's last studio album, Thunder and Lightning, was released in 1983.
