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....

Scott and robbo were just too different characters. great great band. rip Phil still miss you man.

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

Scott was never a young girl.

A really honest interview, thank you, I appreciated the frankness.

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,,,!

Wise words from Scott

Brian saying " I was young and ignorant and just wanted a good time " . Classic rock and roll line.

Great interview,I idolized these guys in the mid 70's! Cool band that met their demise because of drugs.....

Scott Gorham- champion.

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.

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

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

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.

Cool guitarist

Robbo, top musso. 👍

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.
