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.
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" !!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Brian Robertson seriously underrated guitarist, the best to come out of Scotland in my opinion
Along with the mighty Zal
Is there a financial reward available for those who use the word "underrated"? I see it used so many times I begin to wonder.

Using the word " underrated " is definatly over rated lol.😅
Scott and Brian are my guitar heroes😁 love both of em
Scott is a legend and thoroughly nice guy
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.
Nobody could ride a Wha-Wha as good as Robertson....
Watched Thin lizzy ,live for the first time; @Reading 1977.

I loved Scott Gorham then as a young girl, and I still do. Saw him in Leicester with whitesnake. Blew me away. Awesome , waited a long time time xx
Was he supporting Whitesnake because for a minute I thought you meant he was playing with Whitesnake, which he didn't?
Here here his playing was soo laid back n slick and he looked the part as well
He doesnt get 1/4 of the recognition he deserves
Scott was never a young girl.
Scott and robbo were just too different characters. great great band. rip Phil still miss you man.
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.
they gave the band the drive.

whisky fuelled
Brian saying " I was young and ignorant and just wanted a good time " . Classic rock and roll line.
A really honest interview, thank you, I appreciated the frankness.
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.
Wise words from Scott
Scott Gorham- champion.

Great interview,I idolized these guys in the mid 70's! Cool band that met their demise because of drugs.....
Played thin lizzy a lot in the seventies great band first saw in Bell Vue in Manchester in 1978 from Phill Rhodes in Holyhead
Was at the Lafayette Wolverhampton that night - was loud and yes just 10 of us - crazy night..................1977
Would have been 74, not 77. Lizzy were playing sold out shows by 77
@fenderfeet 1977 my ass, you total liar. You're a fucking dweep.
Thin Lizzy, Winterland, San Francisco, Ca. 1978/Bad Reputation Tour
Scott's hair looking good again here
Wolverhampton-up North lol!

nah i don't think so. his pupils would be much smaller than they are and you'd really be able to hear it in his voice
Yeah I would say that Scott had well and truly kicked his smack habit by this time. Seems totally together to me

Maybe he smoked a doobie
He's a California boy...they seem stoned even when they're not...just laid back all the time.
Does Gorham hold some kind of grudge agains Robbo? He sounds a bit bitter in the phone discussion...

Too bad! It would be amazing if they played together!

Robbo and Phil were good friends until he died as they lived very near each other.
Robbo, top musso. 👍
wolverhampton ...its up north.....yea right...lol
IN comparison to HOLLAND.....it's up north!. and of course..."It's CHRIIIIIIIIIIITSMAS" all year round!
It IS up North, that's how you refer to Northern cities in England
It’s called the midlands.
it's in the Midlands not up North at all

Who was that at the end?
I was in love with brian i even been in Scotland hopping to see him walking in the street and i am jumping on him kissing him.ha ha😂
You’ve not seen him recently then.

Scott's voice sounds like Joe from Family guy 😅
"LaFayette in Wolverhampton - that's up north, right?"
...Nope.
1:30 lol
robbo has a massive chip on his shoulder
Napoleon Syndrome.
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.
What I heard it was too emotional for him,- look at the newer interviews when he talks abt Phils death..you see how it still touches him
Gary Moore was shit that’s why, it was horrible
@@mrgod5107 Bollocks. Gary was on FIRE, as usual
@@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.
Gary did not rate Scott's playing very highly and let that be known.
Lemmy in his book, Brian would be in womens dress and their playing at some biker party. "Mans this guys weird". Why why why...

@@carterwidmor1379 if you are into them, you must have albums, I remember some albums indicated who played which solos.
Drivel, Gorham was a beautifully lyrical player, so many gorgeous solos, no ‘flash’ whatsoever. And an extremely modest guy to boot.

@@richardsykes9692 exactly……Gorham was the glue of the band, no drama just consistency in music🎶

He is actually a very nice guy.
Based on what exactly?
@@chrisbarlow2131 perhaps John Brougham is the only knob here ?
