  • When Gary Moore left Thin Lizzy in 1979 during a US tour, Phil Lynott was not amused. The pair fell out and didn't speak for three years. Now they're back together, and have recorded a new song; Out in the Fields. How did that happen?
    Originally broadcast 7 May, 1985.

    I met Phil and Snowy in 76 I was a kid walking down the street with my dad. Dad said ' do you know who they are son?' and they stopped and Phil lifted me up. He said ' respect your Dad and live your life kid' I had no idea who they were. But dad had a camera so I have a precious memory

      The 'Black Rose' album completely blew me away as a 14 year old and I still listen to it today. Lizzy made a lot of great albums, but it's the best one IMHO.

      Amen to that!! Gary had the ability to play like a monster and/or be very fluid in the same song. I love how Phil presented "Whiskey in the jar" for the rest of us. The Grateful Dead did it as well, but it just didn't sound like the way Phil presented it. He was such an underrated vocalist!!

      ​@@grobbler1Wow, I heard it at the same age! There was this DJ at a local station that had a Sunday night show of nothing but hard rock, the emerging "metal" music and so on. One night he played the entire album with no interruptions! Loved it!! Saved my allowance and mowed a few lawns to buy it, lol!!

      Gary Moore was from Dundonald and Eric Bell was from East Belfast. The two actually knew each other and I think, Eric Bell recommended Gary Moore, not sure if that's accurate! Both were phenomenal guitarists! In the video for "Out in the Fields" there's footage of Gary Moore walking around burnt out houses in Belfast!

      @@GIGI-lp1gcTrue, but the reason he left the band while on tour like Phil says in the interview was actually down to Lynott and the other band members scoring heroin while touring the US. The party scene must have been pretty “unconducive” to making music so Moore packed it in and went home. It’s such a shame because when you listen back to Lizzy tracks today they are so well put together that they really shine.
