@@FrozenHero2010you couldn't have put it better my friend. I've even seen I used to describe Brian May, Prince and effing Iron Maiden 😂😂. Underfuckinrated criminally underfuckinrated criminally underated everywhere. I'm thinking the morons that used it are thinking no one else will use such an intellectual word so I'll be the first and everyone will think I'm a rockoligist 😂😂.
@@jonrichie6110 I agree and at the end of the day, 99% of these so-called "underrated" artists...are actually appropriately rated where they stand in the annals of history.
He sure is I met at him a club in Scottsdale and at the airport in Portland Oregon. Always approachable and a gentleman.One of my favorite guitarists too.
6:00. Yeah, Robertson and Gorham shouldve gotten writing credit on all the songs they played on. If you listen to Thin Lizzy before they joined and after, you can tell who contributed the most. Robertson and Gorham.
Robbo was the biggest influence on my guitar playing as a teenager,,i would stare at the speakers and wonder how on earth can they play like this,amazing,,, as an adult he,s a very funny modest kinda guy but as a young man, an ego and vodka fueled arrogant chip on the shoulder type,,i wish someone had said ,dude you're lead guitarist in THIN LIZZY,,lightning doesn't strike twice,shut the fk up and just enjoy the gift you have ,,think how lucky you are,,,!
Lynott/Gorham/Robertson/Downey - the classic Thin Lizzy line up. _Live and Dangerous_ was their peak - after that they were "chasing the game", to use football parlence.
Watched Thin lizzy ,live for the first time; @Reading 1977. Wouldnt have missed them for the world. Even though ,they appeared 2 hrs late on stage and had the main P.A turned of at midnight. They finished the set with just on stage amps. And 30,000 people shouting " turn it up" !!!
Just like the wise man Scott said, our dear Phil was a hard man with a heart of gold, he just missed the opportunity to break free of the bad drugs, if he had made it through the hospital episode I feel he would have made up his mind to come clean. Sad to know and very sad to watch
I'm not sure what it is exactly but Scott looks a bit stoned or drunk. Was this recorded when he was still into drugs? I saw him in another interview talking about the death of Phil and he looks older obviously but a lot more put together.
Scott got rid of the drugs shortly before Phil's death. He used the same electrical therapy that Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton treated. In Phil's biography it is written that then Scott (detoxified) went to meet Phil, they play together 2 songs with guitars and Scott realized that Phil was reduced badly.
Cocaine and smack is like the yin and yang of rockstar excess. Coke is the fire, and to rest from massive attention and stress, you return to the chemical womb, smack.
Yep, it seems that there's some kind of rift between them. I saw them play in Dublin back in 2005. It was the time they unveiled the statue to Philip just off Grafton Street. Gary Moore organised the gig with Brian Downey and invited former Lizzy members (including Robbo and Scott) to participate. As Scott, Robbo and Downey were there, I'd hoped that they'd get up (together) and do a couple of numbers, but it didn't happen. So the Cowboy Song and the Boys Are Back were played by Scott and Gary while Emerald and Still In Love were played by Gary and Robbo, even though these songs had become classic Scott and Robbo tunes in their heyday. I've also seen Scott get uncomfortable in interviews when asked if he'd ever thought of getting together with Robbo for a reunion-type gig. Sad, but I suppose that's the way it goes.
They were so great together and they both seem reasonable guys these days. I wonder if they just figure they can - and perhaps should - make a major event out of playing together again, one day. Hope they don't leave it too long. Alternatively, perhaps they figure anything new can only detract from the memory of that golden time, esp. without Phil. Together, they were magical. It would be great to see them together again and for them to be on good terms with each other :)
Adrie Janssen From what I've read Robbo seemed to get in a lot of fights and he never got along with Phil. I'm guessing this had a big effect on how Scott felt about Robbo. Scott seems like the kind of guy that doesn't care for drama and there seemed to be a lot of drama surrounding Robbo. I could be wrong but that's my sense of things.
@@hardlines2635he's a washed up old foul mouthed drunk. Total piss head. I met him ages ago when he had that band? The Clan in the go and I absolutely worshipped Lizzy and him as player til I met him and what stood before me was a complete drunken arse hole. Arrogant little prick of a man. Shocked but not surprised to be honest of what I had read about him.
Can’t believe Scott refuse to stay and watch Gary Moore’s tribute to Phil concert. No respect to a man that took him to the top and allowed Scott to achieve some success.
@@jasonholemusic yeah guitar wise what about the fucking vocals?? Gary was all technique without feel; good but not Robbo good by any means. I mean what song writing credits did Gary have? Fuck all - just take a look at what Robbo contributed on.
always preferred the Robertson solos to Gorham's, Robertson has attitude, Gorham is just a flashy bighead, Wolverhampton is up north, yeah like Texas is, you dork
What solos did Robertson do besides killer without a cause, the parts of emerald, and the small part leading up to Scott’s solo in that woman’s gonna break your heart? Curious because I’m really into thin Lizzy and genuinely don’t know of many solos Robertson did.
@@carterwidmor1379 Robertson did the solos on Don’t Believe a Word and Johnny and Rosalie just off the top of my head. But this guys talking nonsense about Gorham, he’s fantastic, some of the most beautiful lyrical solos you’ll ever hear. They were a killer combination at their best.
@@chrisbarlow2131 for one, he did 2 songs at the Phil Lynott Tribute concert then refused to stay until the end, Gary Moore was pissed off and would have ripped his head off.
