	The History of Philip Lynott, Thin Lizzy, Grand Slam and so much more...
		Scott Gorham and Brian Downey went back into the studio and through the magic of modern technology were able to replace the drum and guitar tracks on a studio recording of DEDICATION that Philip had started (probably with GRAND SLAM) but never released.
		The support band was made up of: BRIAN DOWNEY on drums, GUS ISIDORE (later in THE THIRD MAN) on guitar, DARREN WHARTON on keyboards, JEROME RIMSON on bass and JIMMY BAIN (later in WILD HORSES) on second keyboard.
		BRIAN DOWNEY was tired of all the touring by this point, and the thought of Australia was just too much for him.

	Roddy Cleere's Irish Music Show: Brian Downey / Blues Up Front
		It was because of him that I went to see the band as his name is Brian Downey, former drummer with Thin Lizzy.
		I have to admit though, that it is very very difficult to talk to Brian Downey without the subject of Thin Lizzy arising.

		Gorham and Robertson generally played lead lines in harmonic tandem, while Downey (a great drummer who had equal amounts of power and style) drove the engine.
		After a few early records that hinted at the band's potential, Lizzy released Fighting in 1975, and the band (Lynott, guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham, and drummer Brian Downey) had molded itself into a pretty tight recording and performing unit.
		In 1999, Thin Lizzy reunited with a lineup featuring guitarists Scott Gorman and John Sykes, and keyboardist Darren Wharton, which was rounded out by a journeyman rhythm section of bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Tommy Aldridge.

	PIXELSURGEON Reviews Music Thin Lizzy
		As a live band, Thin Lizzy's classic line-up of Lynott on bass and vocals, drummer Brian Downey, and Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on dual lead guitars was captured on the 1978 album, Live and Dangerous.
		From original guitarist Eric Bell through Lizzy mainstay Scott Gorham to Brian Robertson, Gary Moore, Snowy White and John Sykes, each guitarist brought something unique and melodic to the Thin Lizzy sound.
		Younger bands, such as Iron Maiden and Saxon, were nipping at the band's heels as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Thunder and Lightning was their answer.

	THIN LIZZY Rockdetector
		Brian Robertson had actually auditioned for both THIN LIZZY as guitarist and as a drummer with another London based act, SLACK ALICE.
		Morale in the band reached a low ebb and Downey left after the tour, but was enticed back to the fold after the recruitment of Brian Robertson,whose previous pedigree included RUE MORGUE and DREAM POLICE, and Scott Gorham.
		THIN LIZZY duly soldiered on, undertaking a tour of Germany with stand in guitarists JOHN DU CAAN, previously with ATOMIC ROOSTER and BULLET, and Andy Gee of THE STEVE ELLIS BAND.

		Brian Downey was experiencing personal problems at the time and opted to stop touring with the band until he was able to get his life in order.
		Cheers, Ian Sacred cows make the best hamburger [Since I'm a huge Gillan fan myself I'd like to correct the above by saying Mark was drummer of the Ian Gillan Band, not Gillan.
		Incidently, the photo of the band on the video box is the same one used on the Japanese CD of the show.
