From all I've heard a mediocre tribute act living in the past. Aldridge is reputed to hammer the songs to death, lacking Downey's swing, Sykes never got over the fact that he joined Lizzy when they were already in their death throes (I saw their final concert with Lynott, not a pretty sight let me tell you) and is really wasting his talent aping Lynott's vocals when he should be recording another 1987 or a Blue Murder follow-up. Gorham obviously has bills to pay as a non-writer with Lizzy, I like the guy, but doesn't he realize that he is obviously being misused here to give the last remnants of credibility to what is a floundering ship? Can't say anything about the bass player except that he has the most unenviable job of all.
I wouldn't be as damning if they had the guts to record an album with new material. Perhaps wisely they don't. Then we would know if Herr Sykes has Lynott's storytelling talents.
This is kind of like Ringo Starr and Klaus Voormann getting together and calling themselves The Beatles.
