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. NB there is an option on the DVD to play the songs with the Lost Performances in the order they were performed the day of the show.Gary Moore is one of the most influential guitarists of all-time.
