Has a real SixxA.M. sound except for the nu-metal chorus raps, similar to that Motley Crue "The Dirt" song from the same film. I'm in two minds about it. Guess I don't really like rapping on otherwise decent songs.
My thoughts exactly.

Quireboys without Spike would be like Whitesnake without Coverdale. Just doesn't make sense.

BLACK STAR SINNERS – Black Star Sinners (2022)
AUGUST 23, 2022 Various Sources
Established 2019 in L.A., BLACK STAR SINNERS is one of these bands that keeps the Sunset Strip rock n’ roll style alive, still performing the Hollywood club circuit like the Whisky A Go-Go and all the Bay Area venues. Their self-titled full length debut “Black Star Sinners” album confirms from every corner the ’80s hard rock music isn’t dead in the USA.
BLACK STAR SINNERS comprises veteran musicians whom where there in L.A. back in 1985, plus a young talented frontman that didn’t, but absorbed his daddy’s LP collection for sure. L.A. Guns bassist Johnny Martin play live shows as band member from time to time as well.
The band delivers here 10 high octane, guitar fueled glammy hard rockers plenty of gang choruses with a sound & style as time has not passed since the mid-80s. Oh and they do a pretty killer cover of Def Leppard’s ‘Let it Go’ (check out the video below).
The CD opens with “Meet The Devil”, fun and upbeat rocking song with lead vocalist Walt Deadly really taking the song to another level with his terrific singing. He certainly shows off his various vocal ranges during the track and lead guitarist Ash Star delivers a cool solo.
All songs are pure Sunset Blvd stuff: “Die on the Hill” has some Skid Row on it, ‘Livin’ The Life’ rocks with a very G N’ R 1986 swaggering, while “Stars In Japan” adds a bit of Hanoi Rocks craziness.
”Hold on to the Night” is a very good midtempo melodic rocker, while on ‘Mr. Rude’ the band go for hair metal circa 1985. As said, they do a very cool cover of Def Depp’s ‘Let it Go’, really enjoying the cover.
Closer “Degenerated” is different. It’s another cover, this time from glam / punk band D-Generation, and sung by guitarist Philthy Rych who is no longer in the band as he retired from music business. It’s a raw track, and while is more like ‘Faster Pussycat on steroids, it works very well with the rest of the material.
Dude, glammy hard rock is still alive in America, just give ‘Black Star Sinners’ a proper listen. These guys rock hard capturing the L.A. 80s feel very well.
Highly Recommended

Having Ron Taylor in the band wouldn't make any difference whatsoever and I'd be amazed if anyone thought it would. As noted above, this has always been Steve Blaze's band and if Ron Taylor was back in the band he'd be singing these same dreadful songs. I'd personally hate for him to return to the band. He's left a magnificent legacy with the band and there's no sense at all in trying to tarnish that.
No one is after the next 'Show a little love' and I'm all for Steve Blaze doing what he wants to do. I don't care one bit if making this dreadful music is what makes him happy. I'd never want an artist to do something other than what they're passionate about.
There's no "solution" to any of this. I personally wish he hadn't continued the Lillian Axe name when he started recording albums again in 2007, but I understand why an artist would want to carry on a brand with which people are familiar with.
Bands grow and evolve, and so do horrible diseases.
I think that's why Ron bailed in the first place. Maybe he saw the slow and dreary writing on the wall. Those last demos with Ron were all pretty dreadful songs that he lifted with his amazing voice. Some of those ended up on Water's Rising.

You add enough 0's to the payout for doing so, I'm sure might change his mind.

I'd settle for knowing why there's no period after the T in the logo.
Always wondered that myself.

How good is the refrain at 2:00 to 2:22?

In a decade marred by the death of hair metal by the grunge movement, every once in a while, a CD popped up out of nowhere and blew your mind. I bought it from Perris Records back in 1996, SCRAGGLY JANE appeared. And I dug it. Even though it occasionally blurred the line between melodic hard rock and grunge.
Some of my favs: Wow this is the only track on youtube
