Total Guitar issue 217 cover stars Thin Lizzy recently reissued three classic albums 'Black Rose: A Rock Legend', 'Bad Reputation' and 'Chinatown'.
1977's 'Bad Reputation' was 'Lizzy's last studio album with Brian Robertson (who later went on to Motörhead for one album) and featured classic track 'Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)'. 'Black Rose' came the following year and is widely agreed to be among their best work, partly due to the amazing guitar work of Scott Gorham and Gary Moore. Finally, 'Chinatown' saw the group recruit guitarist Snowy White (Peter Green, Pink Floyd).
Each deluxe reissue comes with an expanded booklet featuring a brand new interview with Scott Gorham and Brian Downey, as well as bonus disc of rare and unreleased tracks.
Check out Total Guitar issue 217 for a sprawling feature on 'Lizzy's impressive roster of guitarists, including brand new interviews with alumni Brian Robertson, Eric Bell and Scott Gorham.
“Maybe I’m writing a song and it doesn’t follow the exact rules of songwriting. Or maybe this word doesn’t make sense next to this one, but that’s how I speak”: Beabadoobee says that “missteps” are more important than perfection in songwriting
“It’s been road-tested, dropped on its head, kicked around, x-rayed, strummed, chicken-picked, and arpeggio swept!” Fender and Chris Shiflett team up for signature Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
