Interview:--> Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy)
"The second time around is never the same." ~ Eric Bell ~ Directly responsible for the rise and popularity of Thin Lizzy , not to mention coining the name for the band, guitarist Eric Bell will forever be remembered. From his joyous barn-raising guitar crankage on "The Rocker" ...to his definitive gentle and anthemic bar-bellowing "Whiskey In The Jar" ...the "vagabond rocker" who provided the guitar fuel was loved and admired by fans and peers alike. But after Thin Lizzy's fantastic 3rd album "Vagabonds Of The Western World" (1973)... Eric , who was struggling with personal demons I won't rehash, simply walked away. For the longest time I had simply lost track of Eric Bell , until stumbling upon a wonderful little gem... "Lonely Nights In London" that he had recorded in 2010. Always a big fan, I was really fortunate to catch up with Eric and talk about the music. ERIC BELL INTERVIEW - JULY 2015
