THIN LIZZY: VIVIAN CAMPBELL And SCOTT GORHAM's Rig Rundown
August 2, 2011On April 1, Premier Guitar's Chris Kies was on location in Chicago, Illinois at the Vic Theatre where he caught up with THIN LIZZY guitar tech Coty Allinson, who walked Kies through guitarists Vivian Campbell and Scott Gorham's current touring rigs. Check out the clip below.
THIN LIZZY's current lineup features Phil Lynott-era LIZZY members Scott Gorham (guitar),Brian Downey (drums) and Darren Wharton (keyboards),as well as GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Richard Fortus, former THE ALMIGHTY singer/guitarist Ricky Warwick, and bassist Marco Mendoza.
THIN LIZZY became one of rock's top bands during the 1970s, on the strength of the hits "Jailbreak", "The Boys Are Back In Town", "Dancing In The Moonlight" and "Waiting For An Alibi", Lynott's poetic-yet-tough lyrics, and the highly influential dual guitar attack of Gorham and whichever second guitarist he was paired up with at the time (Brian Robertson, the late Gary Moore, Snowy White, or John Sykes).
LIZZY split up in 1983, before Lynott passed away in 1986. However, LIZZY's stature has continued to grow over the years, as their songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists, including METALLICA ("Whiskey In The Jar"),SMASHING PUMPKINS ("Dancing In The Moonlight"),BON JOVI ("The Boys Are Back In Town"),SADE ("Still In Love With You"),the FOO FIGHTERS ("Bad Reputation"),and MASTODON ("Emerald"),among other rock bands.
