THIN LIZZY Returns 'Home' To Dublin; Quality Fan-filmed Video Footage - Dec. 16, 2012
Quality fan-filmed video footage of THIN LIZZY's December 13 concert at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland can be seen below.

THIN LIZZY guitarist Scott Gorham recently spoke to This Is Somerset about the band's decision not to release their upcoming studio under the THIN LIZZY name out of respect to late LIZZY frontman Phil Lynott and the legacy Phil created.

"In recent years the top question we have been asked in interviews is whether there is going to be a new THIN LIZZY album," said Scott.

"We have all been writing in different little groups then getting together and brainstorming; it's been pretty good fun and the songs have been getting better and better.

"Then [founding LIZZY drummer] Brian [Downey] and I sat down and had a discussion and realized how uncomfortable we would be to release these new songs under the THIN LIZZY name," he explained.

"Having written and recorded with Phil in the past we felt it was best to leave that history as it is. We love those songs and we love playing them, so it's best to draw a line in the sand and walk away from THIN LIZZY for a while.

"So we're going to record the new material and release it under a new band name, which is under wraps at the moment."

"But I've been associated with THIN LIZZY practically my whole life, and I can't imagine a time when I could give it up altogether," he added.

"We always knew a new record was a touchy subject with some people But most people support and respect our decision, and that is good to know."

THIN LIZZY's current lineup features Phil Lynott-era LIZZY members Scott Gorham (guitar), Brian Downey (drums) and Darren Wharton (keyboards), as well as guitarist Damon Johnson, formerly of BROTHER CANE and Alice Cooper's band, former THE ALMIGHTY singer/guitarist Ricky Warwick, and bassist Marco Mendoza.

Saw them open for Priest,and they looked a little lost on an arena stage. Sounds and looks better in this video then when i saw them. Gotta say the new band pays proper respect to Phil threw out the set.

Oh of course, sell a few more tickets by adding the words "farewell tour" to the poster. Why not, everyone else does it.

The music sounds great but the singer sounds like the guy from Nickelback.

Tight as hell too. Glad Scott & Co. are finally changing the name! It should of been done many years ago though.

I have a better name for the tour: The One Last Cash Grab Tour. As for the new band name, if they're going to continue to perform mostly Phil Lynott songs, how 'bout The Necro-Phil-iacs? Okay, that's taking it too far, I admit, but you get my point.

Stop cashing in on the great Phil Lynott's work and memory. I don't care how long you were in the band or how long you knew Phil. It's like The Beatles without Lennon or McCartney for Christ's sake! Write your own catalog of timeless music. And the idea of sticking in some generic Irish guy is an insult to Phil's memory, his mother and true fans.

Look, the band had some great musicians in its day, including the late Gary Moore, Brian Robertson and John Sykes, but Phil was Lizzy and Lizzy was Phil. Ricky Warwick sucks.

The End.

Good sound, and I must honestly say Ricky's vocals sound fit pretty well!
