Thin Lizzy (Official Thread)

Re: Thin Lizzy

I agree wholeheartedly about Gorham. Very underrated. He's also the best interview in the videos I posted above. Seems easygoing and willing to let bygones be bygones.

I've watched the interviews on the L&D DVD with Scott and the two Brians. Scott really has his head screwed on straight. Robbo, otoh has got issues (from what I can tell). You hear him say some things and you wonder why he won't let it go. Who knows?

Honestly though I really like the concert of "Are You Ready" (Rockpalast) a lot more than the L&D concert. Snowy White was a good guitarist but Scott is better (imo).

When I do one of my band threads I try to go in chronological order as much as possible, but in this case seeing it's been neglected,,,(By Me...),,,I'll just post the albums as I play them.

After reading Vic's post I played Chinatown last night, and it's been a long long time since I enjoyed that one. I love the cover art as well, and it's a good reflection of the quality In the jacket too.

Hey You.

Re: Thin Lizzy

I want to get "Fighting" and "Nightlife" next. Not sure if I'll get the Live & Dangerous CD though. I'm not a big live album fanatic to begin with and two concert DVDs scratches that itch anyway. But I know everyone raves about that album so I'll probably end up getting it.

I will say this though, since watching the two Lizzy DVDs I got recently I'll just say that Scott Gorham was the unsung hero/guitarist of that band.

Im happy to hear you are finding out about this amazing band..
get L and D its the best live album ever

we know "the sugar blues" are what got Phil hooked.. I wish like Phil said " I have got to give it up...that stuff"

Re: Thin Lizzy

^^^ Phil was a Poet IMO T/L Fan and sometimes his words are painfully sad. Opium Trail is another song that gives us a glimpse of his inner anguish. A much missed guy.
