Thin Lizzy

Not everybody can be U2.

Aerosmith's bassist has signed on for a handful of dates this summer with the Irish rock legends.

Phil Lynott was growing frustrated with the band. He also had a growing heroin problem.

The bassist played his final performance with Thin Lizzy on Sept. 4, 1983.

'Tis the season for me to go on my yearly rant about the travesty that is otherwise known as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  There are a laundry list of great bands we grew up listening to that somehow have yet to receive their invite into the Hall.

Investigators are looking for information after a statue of Thin Lizzy bassist Phil Lynott in Dublin was seriously damaged after it was apparently pushed over by vandals.

We are just a little over a month away from the debut release from the Black Star Riders. If the name doesn't immediately ring some bells, the group has some real weight in its ranks. The band is comprised of Ricky Warwick, Scott Gorham, Damon Johnson and Marco Mendoza, all of whom are also members of Thin Lizzy. The band is rounded out by Jimmy DeGrasso on drums.

In a rather surprising move intended to show respect for their late original frontman Phil Lynott, the members of Thin Lizzy have announced an end to regular touring -- as well as recording -- under the band name.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, Thin Lizzy will release new music. Guitarist Scott Gorham says the group is working on new songs with an eye on a new album, the first without founder and original vocalist Phil Lynott, who died in 1986.
