Halestorm's Lzzy Hale, Alice In Chains bassist Mike Inez and Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner joined ex-Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain to record a cover of Thin Lizzy's “Bad Reputation.”
The accompanying video was shot in quarantine, with each musician performing in his or her home. The session was organized by Demmel.
“Bad Reputation” was the title track of Thin Lizzy's eighth studio album, released in 1977. Although it was not released as a single, the song became a live staple for the Irish act, who were best known in the U.S for the songs “The Boys Are Back In Town” and “Jailbreak.”
Foo Fighters covered “Bad Reputation” in 2011 for their limited edition album of covers, Medium Rare, which was released as a vinyl exclusive for Record Store Day.
