"Thin Lizzy is a known situation, but with Black Star Riders we're moving into uncharted territory and that's pretty damn exciting. I'm having more fun playing right now than I have in years." Scott Gorham "Black Star Riders allows us to move forward with passion and integrity, but in saying that it was always going to be a continuation of some kind. You can't take the Thin Lizzy out of Scott Gorham - and why the hell would you want to?" Ricky Warwick Sometimes the head-rush induced by primal rock 'n' roll can't be contained. "All Hell Breaks Loose", the title track of Black Star Riders' storming debut album, is a case in point. "Alright Scotty!" roars frontman Ricky Warwick, teeing up a certain Mr. Gorham's classy lead guitar salvo. "I love that song starting the album", laughs Warwick. "The Lizzy faithful are going to hear Scott's solo and think, 'Fantastic! Everything's going to be okay.'" Black Star Riders is a brand new band, then, but also one respectful of the past. Together with bandmates Marco Mendoza and Damon Johnson, Gorham and Warwick have of course toured in various configurations of Thin Lizzy in recent years. But while Gorham - the late Phil Lynott's longest serving guitar foil - and original Lizzy drummer Brian Downey had every right to lead such a charge, even they felt somewhat conflicted when talked turned to the recording of a new Thin Lizzy album.
