It’s a great band that I recommend fully. If you haven’t checked out the Black Star Riders, they very much have the spirit and energy of Thin Lizzy with them, but they went on their own path in music. He still kicks just as much ass with that Les Paul as he did years ago. I’ve seen Scott Gorham with the new version of Thin Lizzy and the Black Star Riders a couple times now. Scott Gorham to Classic Rock Scott Gorham Is Still Rocking After All These Years What the fuck, man? That could’ve been me if I’d stayed on this shit. I know the last time I saw him he had lost a fair few teeth, his face had aged horribly. And why would I? He was pretty greasy, alright. Don’t have really a lot of good things to say about him ever since. He later went on to say that Bain just left and didn’t even call an ambulance before he did. Phil’s laying there on the bathroom floor, he’s desperately ill, but nobody calls the ambulance because they’re afraid the police will come and they’ll get busted. If Bain was less of a coward and just faced whatever consequences, we might have Phil Lynott with us today. The story that Scott told about Jimmy Bain running away from Phil Lynott’s body is chilling. Scott Gorham to Classic Rock Jimmy Bain Is A Coward
I went off to America and started recording with my brother and in-laws to get me back playing guitar somehow. Didn’t associate with anybody for two years. Physically I was OK, but it took me maybe two years for the mental side. Patterson?’ So I went to see the doctor, and within 10 days, I was off of heroin. I was at a function, and Jimmy Page was there and he dragged me off the sofa and said, ‘So you gonna call Dr. Same thing that helped Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton. Running an electrical current through you. Margaret Patterson, called the black box. Then Chris found this pioneering treatment by Dr. I realized this brown powder was ruling my life. She said, ‘Everybody knows!’ That did it. I’m like, ‘What’s the problem? Nobody knows I’m doing it anyway.’ It was the look she gave me – incredulous. I was having another argument with my wife, Christine. One such person who might have saved his life was Jimmy Page. Living his life in Thin Lizzy, he was exposed to a lot of different stories and people. Scott Gorham to Classic Rock That’s A Nice Sounding Story, But How He Quit Is Insane Before you know it, you’re spiraling out of control. There just weren’t enough dead rock stars around yet to make it feel too dangerous to do. For quite a while, we tried to keep it secret. We were drug buddies, but the fun went out when the heroin came in. He’d always turn around and give me that devilish smile. Just messing around on stage, always joking together. We were pretty much joined at the hip for 10 years. Here’s what he had to say about Phil and the drug. So to see that Scott was hooked on it, but eventually got better is a success story of the highest order. Scott Gorham On Phil Lynott And Heroin Gorham on stage for the Black Star Riders At least he since apologized for walking out on the North American tour that Thin Lizzy was on. Sometimes people who are geniuses at their craft are hard to work with. He was a perfectionist and he expected greatness. It’s not surprising that Gary Moore was difficult to work with.
He apologized a couple of times over the years. It’s just the way he did it pissed everybody off: walking out in the middle of an American tour. He really was good enough to pull it off, so I don’t have any animosity. But he would go off on these tangents, and either myself or Phil would have to talk to him and say, ‘You got to chill out a bit here, buddy.’ He really wanted to be a solo artist, and to share guitar duties was not on his menu at all. Phil and I would look at each other and go, ‘Whoa, OK.’ Gary had a great sense of humor.
He was convinced at one point he was the best guitar player in the world. Gorham makes particular mention about how hard he was to work with at certain points. But there are some characteristics of his personality that aren’t so great. I love his playing style and the music he’s made.
Gary Moore is one of the most influential guitarists of all-time.
