Wow! Great versions. I am not a Russ Allen fan, but I liked him here.
Lzzy Hale did nothing for me though. But Bad Reputation is a great tune and album, my second favorite Thin Lizzy album.
I'm right there with ya on Russ Allen. Not a big Symph X guy and I hated Adrenaline Mob. But, he slays here.
As for Bad Reputation... The musicianship is awesome. Richie Faulkner is a huge TL fan (the Thin Lizzy tribute livestream he did with Damon Johnson is pretty great). I like Lzzy. But, I think she was the weakest link of the group. Dave McClain is an awesome drummer. He and Phil pair up with Jeff Scott Soto and Billy Sheehan for VH's "Loss Of Control". Another good collaboration.
