Well, it was clearly an attempt to cash in on the name. Steve Marque right 
through the end was geting all sorts of shirts and shit with the "classic" 
logos and dagger art produced and was selling it off his own website 
completely without Dave and Brian's knowledge. As for the other original 
member, drummer Nicky Turner, he doesn't give a shit and basically left 
behind his life as a musician when he went to work under IRS Records chief 
Miles (Satan) Copeland after he left the Lords in '87.

Sadly though, it's not like The Lords had much value beyond a very small 
group of diehards, many of whom saw the whole affair for exactly what it was 
and never supported it.
