Have you ever had a moment where you’re listening to a band you like and decide to dig a little further into their career only to find a band that you used to love but forgot all about? That’s exactly what happened when I sat down to interview Ricky Warwick. For the last few years he’s been the lead singer of Thin Lizzy, and to be honest that’s all I really knew of the guy. So when I got ready for our conversation about Thin Lizzy and the new off shoot band Black Star Riders I started to dig into his history and found his first major band The Almighty. Now when I was a teen I got hardcore into music specifically metal, punk, and garage/stoner rock. I used to dig through cassettes (later CD’s) at the record store and remember coming across this band. There was a skull on the cover and they were from the U.K. That’s the only convincing I needed. I listened to Soul Destruction over and over again, but lost touch with the band as they never broke in the U.S. Flash forward 25 years and I’m interviewing the lead singer. Weird how that happens.
