I agree with Andrew that it won't to us be as the glory days we had with Meat, and I'm sure they'll be depending fairly heavily on the nostalgia feeling to begin with. But the NLE are a really great band imo, and Caleb a very able singer of Steinman. Given the appeal of Steinman's music I think there's every possibility that it can grow legs and build an appeal with a new audience, carry the legacy into the future.
The Bat musical has been enormously successful, and is building its own new cult audience. No reason why this new venture should not be able to do the same, particularly here, where so many fans identify with and follow the band as well as Meat. Not likely to fill the O2 as yet .. but no reason why it should not build a solid following.
