) rock bands and their drummers.Let's start with some Thin Lizzy news:
Thin Lizzy vocalist Ricky Warwick, guitarist Scott Gorham, guitarist Damon Johnson and bassist Marco Mendoza will be busy making music in 2013 under a new name – Black Star Riders. The band plans to make its live debut next summer.
Black Star Riders will also feature drummer Jimmy DeGrasso, who has worked with Alice Cooper, Megadeth, David Lee Roth and Suicidal Tendencies. According to an announcement on Thin Lizzy’s Facebook page, the group will not feature Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey because he “didn’t want to commit to the touring cycle a new album would entail.” Keyboardist/vocalist Darren Wharton is also not involved with the new band because he “wanted to concentrate on Dare and other music and film projects.”

Should be interesting. Jimmy is one hell of a player, perfect for this kind of music. Would be curious to see what kind of music they put out.
