Brian is one of the best guitarist’s that I have ever known and I knew him before he even signed up with Lizzy, he dated a friend of mine, and told us that he had a demo in London to do and that he could possibly be part of Thin Lizzy, we were so excited for him, yes he got the top job and we could not believe it, he eventually split with my friend , but we still got invited back stage after the concert, I have even been in the Limo leaving the Apollo Glasgow to go to Brian’s mothers house for the after party it was totally amazing, I know what it feels like with fans running after the car screaming and shouting its unbelievable, anyway I’ve not heard or seen Brian for years, hope that he is ok. Kate here Brian from Thornliebank, you me June in the back room and you playing guitar and asking us what we want to hear next you are unbelievable. Luv ya, Kate.XX
Gary Moore is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Some of the best music that a Les Paul could oooze out- But Brian Robertson was my favorite Thin Lizzy guitarist. The Scott Gorham/Brian Robertson duo was second to none.
Me too. I saw all of them. Brian was best. Thin Lizzy though, they could be the best rock band or the worst rock band depending on how high they were and how pissed they were at each other.
I totally agree with you concerning the Gorham/ Robertson duo being something very special ...Do you know if it was Brian or Scott who played the bluesy lead break that appears close to the start of ' Dear Lord' ( as the choir -like vocals are ringing out ) on the 'Bad Reputation' album ?
TheHumbuckerboy Scott played nearly all of the guitar parts on Bad Reputation, including Dear Lord. Brian only played on "Opium Trail", "Killer Without a Cause", and "That Woman's Gonna Break Your Heart"
Mo Shaw Yes, but although it seems clear that Scott played the majority of the song ' Dear Lord' , including the intro and also the excellent main solo, I still am inclined to think that Robbo is playing the particular bluesy lead break in question. You are definitely correct ,In my opinion, about Robbo's contribution on both 'Opium Trail' and ' Killer Without a Cause' but again I am inclined to think that Scott played all of the guitar lines on ' That Woman's Gonna Break Your Heart' and that his harmony lead lines were then layered . Robbo , however, has stated that he ,himself, actually played on more of the album than is commonly realised . Do you know what guitar Gary Moore used to play the original solo on 'Still in Love With You' from 'Nightlife'? I have yet to hear an answer to this question ...
@@fabianaguilar1358 Hey this was about the Classic line up. Moore never wanted to really commit to the band. Sykes would never had stayed in the band. But Robo would and Lizzy would of been even bigger with him than with the other two.
What the fuck are you talking about? I never said he had a clean sound. Of course he used effects, I can't think of many rock guitarists that don't. What has that got to do with leaving gaps and letting the music breathe? The point I'm making is, he wasnt a shredder.mhe didn't show off for the same of showing off. Yes he'd play fast when the song required it but he also knew when to play slow and feel the vibe - unlike a lot of guitarists I could mention
Harold-Sweat-Head its a thin line between playing fast and leaning toward metal, Robbo played from the soul at a very young age...his style of play was in the category of eric clapton and jimmy page. Gary was great but robbo was better for lizzy
+flip inheck Electronics? Well, duh. Amplifiers are electronics. That's probably a semi-cranked Marshall with no added distortion. You really don't need a box in front of that kind of amp to play that kind of music. I agree Brian was best for TL but Gary was/is on an elevated level.
I met Brian when I was 12 as a school kid in East Kilbride, he was working in a music store at the time that doubled up as a record store he had black beauty les paul and would show me some incredible licks the guy was an amazing player when I told him I was a Duane Allman fan he was pumped this was 1972. I am so sorry he wasted himself on alchohol he was a great player had technique and feel back then at that age I don't doubt had he been able to stay sober he would have got the same recognition that Gary Moore got ( who I also love), but he was inspiration to me at the time. I loved our talks I used to run to the store after school and just sit and listen to him play and he showed me how to play a natural talent so sorry he wasted it.
Wasted his talent? I don't know what bitter place you're in to even think that let alone publish such a mean-spirited comment. Robertson wrote and played in one of the all time great bands and enjoyed huge success as a result. Those are the facts of the matter. I'll be ever grateful to his creative talents every time I listen to his work or think back to the times I was fortunate enough to see him play with Lizzy at the Apollo in Glasgow. Magical covers it. He was also a profoundly important part of the greatest of all the Lizzy line-ups - Lynott, Downey, Gorham and Robertson. Does wasted mean something else in your world? Jings. Your comment reminds me of the famous 'where did it all go wrong George' quote directed at George Best.
Lysdexia It's also a matter of fact - notable through the testimony of Brian himself, band members, band employees, record company employees, Phil Lynott, and fans, that all at one time or another had been affected negatively by Brian's alcoholism. Even he makes no bones about it. We all know and agree that he's a fantastic talent on the guitar. But when even just one entire tour is put into extreme question because Brian's out at 2:00 AM having a latte with Frankie Miller at SoHo's Speakeasy Club and nearly gets his hand cut off ... Don't be obtuse, Lysdexia. Yes, it is in fact a waste of talent.
Brian is sooo underrated. He doesn't get enough attention for the incredible playing,composing,Huge body of work and for being in one of the Biggest bands on the planet. A massive Guitar Hero of mine. Bless his soul!😊
beautiful playing....such a great touch and tone.....robbo's solo on live and dangerous on still in love.....is one of my favourite of all time ....all of us who see the band live were privileged ....RIP phil and gary
@@bryanwilliams3665 Couldn't agree more! Yngwie style is obviously technically brilliant, but I can't help but become uninterested after listening to 1 song. Personally, I'll take Angus Young (and Brian Robertson) style players anyday over Yngwie style players.
Fantastic. My favorite Lizzy albums are with Robertson, and by far my favorite Motorhead album is Another Perfect Day. Great stuff from a great guitar player!
What an absolutely beautiful version od I'm Still In Love With You...talk about a guitar singing...what an absolutely amazing version...so full of emotion and feel...love it..
That was great brian so much emotional in the playing and feeling beautiful lovely sounding les paul saw you and lizzy great band at Wolverhampton civic Hall years ago always great shows should have never left or because of other matters
The best version of this for me was when he played it Live on his Black, Les Paul with the white pick guard. I never got tired of replaying it. He is one awesome Guitarist
I was fortunate enough to catch Thin Litzy in 78 and 79 when I was 17 and 18. At 63 they’re still one of my all time favorite bands. I listen to them almost every day.
Oh my, it was like religious experience. Robbo solo in ´Still in love in You´ with Phil and Frankie vocals is a f rock monument which will never be broken.
Gary Moore is a fantastic guitarist, don't get me wrong. But Robertson and Gorham's dueling guitar sound was Thin Lizzy's defining sound in their imperial era. The Live and Dangerous live record is a masterclass in guitar playing, especially the live version of this song
I agree robbo was a great player and worked well with scott gorham. He left lizzy too soon but no doubt had his reasons.sadly he missed his mark with his band Wildhorses,but made some good album's. Worth a listen with his distinctive style. Iv always been a fan.

Garry was the better guitarist but Brian was Lizzy's best guitarist, if that makes sense.
Scott was sort of, eh, okay.
This is my favorite Thin Lizzy solo. A masterpiece.
He is thin lizzy guitarist?
Gary Moore did the original 🎼
@@youtubejhs5150Correct 🤠
Still one of the greats who knows when to leave space between notes, beautiful player.
Brian what a talent. The best guitarist Lizzy ever had. Brian and Scott enough said.
No way Sykes out played and classed them both please clean your ears out
And Gary outplayed Sykes and all the other guys

@@cockers6682 listen to yourself, Robertson and Moore were the best
Love Brian Robertson !!!!!
Killer player !!
Loves a pint
Thin Lizzy was great for many reasons but Brian Robertson was a pioneer for great riffs and had the ultimate feeling and passion for his playing..
Robbo always knew when to leave gaps and let the music breathe. Wonderful player. Probably Lizzy's best.

He feels every note, pure class.
Utter class, what a gut talent, no other words
Lucky enough to see Lizzy with Brian a couple of times. A classy player at such a young age.. god given talent. Still my favourite solo of all time.
Thanks Robbo, this is my favourite guitar solo for over 40 years and it has lost nothing of it's beauty.
It's originally created by Gary Moore.
A legend in guitar circles. Casual fans may not be wise to this.

Your opinion is as far from a fact as the idea that Robertson's brilliance was any kind of waste at all.
Wow great memories for you there,the guy was and still is a great guitarist!!
Brian is sooo underrated.

What a masterful guitarist, Thin Lizzy will forever be one my favorites
The space between the notes is what makes his playing really speak!
Well said. Wish someone had told Sykes that.
Melodic gift
Absolutely, it's what you DON'T Play that makes it great
@@mozartsmate6358 And while they were about it, told Yngwie Malmsteen as well..Too many notes start sounding "one dimentional'"

Master Class !
I was very very fortunate to have seen Thin Lizzy open Queen two nights in a row in the '70's in the old Boston Gardens.
That was great brian so much emotional in the playing and feeling beautiful lovely sounding les paul saw you and lizzy great band at Wolverhampton civic Hall years ago always great shows should have never left or because of other matters
Piercing lyricism...magical talent!
he is my all time favorite.The style,and his tone on the Gibson is perfect
Pure genius🎸🎸
That is some of the most 1Beautiful playing i have ever heard since Gary Moore .Great work Brian .....
great guitar player!!!!
Wow..that is ..simply…stunning
The best version of this for me was when he played it Live on his Black, Les Paul with the white pick guard. I never got tired of replaying it. He is one awesome Guitarist
What a player
Rock n roller to the bone
Amazing to think he was still only 22 when he was sacked for the final time....what a talent, incredible.
The sad thing is that give or take the Motörhead year, he had virtually nothing to do all day from aged 22 onwards except booze.
Fabulous! Viva Brian !!!
Him and Scott will ALWAYS be the REAL Thin Lizzy guys!
The sign of a true musican is utilising space and timing. Fucking outstanding
Someone tell Sykes.
@@mozartsmate6358 Sykes could play this really well also to be fair

Wonderful playing!!!
Love this playing. Thanks Brian
great guitarist ! what a way to create space in a solo
Robbo was fantastic in Thin Lizzy!This solo has his name on it!!!The Les Paul sounds so so good, what a guitar 🎸 player!!!!!
Master of the waw-waw pedal! Wicked lead player! Great solos!
These are some of my favourite lead guitar parts ever... EVER! Nice to see it done like this.
In my humble opinion, a great player up there with the best.
Robbie is definitely in my top 10 of all time
Oh my, it was like religious experience. Robbo solo in ´Still in love in You´ with Phil and Frankie vocals is a f rock monument which will never be broken.
On the original record, it's Gary Moore soloing. Got a faster vibrato than Robbo.
What a talent.
awesome Robbo....brilliant guitarist....he was the best Thin Lizzy lead player....
Thin Lizzy best Band ever, big hug from Brasil
Gary Moore is a fantastic guitarist, don't get me wrong. But Robertson and Gorham's dueling guitar sound was Thin Lizzy's defining sound in their imperial era. The Live and Dangerous live record is a masterclass in guitar playing, especially the live version of this song
The best guitar solo ever......
Brilliant 💖
Brilliant.
30 seconds into the song..... and it's blooming so beautifully...
Brilliant, soulful playing & pure emotion. Brian's tone RULES. He was my favorite Lizzy guitarist too (even though Gary Moore is my overall fave)
Awesomeness personified, a pure 4 mins of passion, somewhat lacking in todays music (sic)
Not my style of music but i can hear how good it sounds , miss your Thin lizzy, Motorhead days, your one of my favorite guitarists.
Master at his play....Just Beautiful...So soulful...
My favourite Lizzy guitar player saw them Manchester 78 and again with John Sykes. Brian the best.
Just an amazing player, such feeling. Second to none!
Robo was class, along with Scott were a great twin attack and blended great with an amazing front man in Phil, oh that protruding Bass !!
Robbo and motorhead another perfect day.
Thin Lizzy - Still in love with you live performance it's an absolute best.
Amazing Brian Robertson!
FROM THE HEART
Robbo,s fhantastic solo,....
For a Legendary Ballade, of Thin Lizzy
Lizzyes best player! All my favourite Lizzie-tunes is because of Brian :-)
Absolutely the best !!!
By far..great feel and at the age of 21 he started w Lizzy
Pretty sure he was 18
He has great phrasing, knows when NOT to play, when to kick in, the best guitarist in Lizzy - then Scott Gorham.
It doesn’t get much better than that
respect for another perfect day Robbo
och..man...ROBBO ....he was always good..gifted....well done my son
Great playing from Brian. Looking forward to the 7 CD release of their 1978 Live and Dangerous tour.
The song ended and I was begging for more!
Great guitar player! One of my all time favourites.
Only a teenager when he joined Lizzy - and such an accomplished guitarist at that age
I do miss Thin Lizzy lovely to see this beautiful song still lives 💗🌼🐞
I agree robbo was a great player and worked well with scott gorham. He left lizzy too soon but no doubt had his reasons.sadly he missed his mark with his band Wildhorses,but made some good album's. Worth a listen with his distinctive style. Iv always been a fan.
