Mendoza played in John Sykes' band Blue Murder, from 1991 until 1993. Mendoza is the bassist for the reformed version of Thin Lizzy with whom he is touring Europe throughout 2011. Mendoza joined the band in 1996 then left in 2000. From 2000 to 2003 he toured with Ted Nugent. Mendoza returned to Thin Lizzy in 2005 replacing Randy Gregg and left again in 2007. He then toured with ex-Dokken guitarist George Lynch in his band Lynch Mob. After John Sykes' departure from Thin Lizzy 2009, Scott Gorham set to work on creating the greatest lineup of Thin Lizzy since Phil Lynott's passing. Rejoining him are old band mates Brian Downey (the only founder of the band now playing) and Darren Wharton. New to the lineup are Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell and former The Almighty vocalist Ricky Warwick. After months of pre-production and rehearsals, the band issued a press release about their new lineup in May 2010. This version of Thin Lizzy started an extensive world tour in January 2011 and is scheduled to continue for the foreseeable future.
