Brian is one of the best guitarist’s that I have ever known and I knew him before he even signed up with Lizzy, he dated a friend of mine, and told us that he had a demo in London to do and that he could possibly be part of Thin Lizzy, we were so excited for him, yes he got the top job and we could not believe it, he eventually split with my friend , but we still got invited back stage after the concert, I have even been in the Limo leaving the Apollo Glasgow to go to Brian’s mothers house for the after party it was totally amazing, I know what it feels like with fans running after the car screaming and shouting its unbelievable, anyway I’ve not heard or seen Brian for years, hope that he is ok. Kate here Brian from Thornliebank, you me June in the back room and you playing guitar and asking us what we want to hear next you are unbelievable. Luv ya, Kate.XX
Brian is sooo underrated. He doesn't get enough attention for the incredible playing,composing,Huge body of work and for being in one of the Biggest bands on the planet. A massive Guitar Hero of mine. Bless his soul!😊
@@bryanwilliams3665 Couldn't agree more! Yngwie style is obviously technically brilliant, but I can't help but become uninterested after listening to 1 song. Personally, I'll take Angus Young (and Brian Robertson) style players anyday over Yngwie style players.
beautiful playing....such a great touch and tone.....robbo's solo on live and dangerous on still in love.....is one of my favourite of all time ....all of us who see the band live were privileged ....RIP phil and gary
I met Brian when I was 12 as a school kid in East Kilbride, he was working in a music store at the time that doubled up as a record store he had black beauty les paul and would show me some incredible licks the guy was an amazing player when I told him I was a Duane Allman fan he was pumped this was 1972. I am so sorry he wasted himself on alchohol he was a great player had technique and feel back then at that age I don't doubt had he been able to stay sober he would have got the same recognition that Gary Moore got ( who I also love), but he was inspiration to me at the time. I loved our talks I used to run to the store after school and just sit and listen to him play and he showed me how to play a natural talent so sorry he wasted it.
Wasted his talent? I don't know what bitter place you're in to even think that let alone publish such a mean-spirited comment. Robertson wrote and played in one of the all time great bands and enjoyed huge success as a result. Those are the facts of the matter. I'll be ever grateful to his creative talents every time I listen to his work or think back to the times I was fortunate enough to see him play with Lizzy at the Apollo in Glasgow. Magical covers it. He was also a profoundly important part of the greatest of all the Lizzy line-ups - Lynott, Downey, Gorham and Robertson. Does wasted mean something else in your world? Jings. Your comment reminds me of the famous 'where did it all go wrong George' quote directed at George Best.
Lysdexia It's also a matter of fact - notable through the testimony of Brian himself, band members, band employees, record company employees, Phil Lynott, and fans, that all at one time or another had been affected negatively by Brian's alcoholism. Even he makes no bones about it. We all know and agree that he's a fantastic talent on the guitar. But when even just one entire tour is put into extreme question because Brian's out at 2:00 AM having a latte with Frankie Miller at SoHo's Speakeasy Club and nearly gets his hand cut off ... Don't be obtuse, Lysdexia. Yes, it is in fact a waste of talent.
What an absolutely beautiful version od I'm Still In Love With You...talk about a guitar singing...what an absolutely amazing version...so full of emotion and feel...love it..
Fantastic. My favorite Lizzy albums are with Robertson, and by far my favorite Motorhead album is Another Perfect Day. Great stuff from a great guitar player!
That was great brian so much emotional in the playing and feeling beautiful lovely sounding les paul saw you and lizzy great band at Wolverhampton civic Hall years ago always great shows should have never left or because of other matters
The best version of this for me was when he played it Live on his Black, Les Paul with the white pick guard. I never got tired of replaying it. He is one awesome Guitarist
Gary Moore is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Some of the best music that a Les Paul could oooze out- But Brian Robertson was my favorite Thin Lizzy guitarist. The Scott Gorham/Brian Robertson duo was second to none.
Me too. I saw all of them. Brian was best. Thin Lizzy though, they could be the best rock band or the worst rock band depending on how high they were and how pissed they were at each other.
I totally agree with you concerning the Gorham/ Robertson duo being something very special ...Do you know if it was Brian or Scott who played the bluesy lead break that appears close to the start of ' Dear Lord' ( as the choir -like vocals are ringing out ) on the 'Bad Reputation' album ?
TheHumbuckerboy Scott played nearly all of the guitar parts on Bad Reputation, including Dear Lord. Brian only played on "Opium Trail", "Killer Without a Cause", and "That Woman's Gonna Break Your Heart"
Mo Shaw Yes, but although it seems clear that Scott played the majority of the song ' Dear Lord' , including the intro and also the excellent main solo, I still am inclined to think that Robbo is playing the particular bluesy lead break in question. You are definitely correct ,In my opinion, about Robbo's contribution on both 'Opium Trail' and ' Killer Without a Cause' but again I am inclined to think that Scott played all of the guitar lines on ' That Woman's Gonna Break Your Heart' and that his harmony lead lines were then layered . Robbo , however, has stated that he ,himself, actually played on more of the album than is commonly realised . Do you know what guitar Gary Moore used to play the original solo on 'Still in Love With You' from 'Nightlife'? I have yet to hear an answer to this question ...
Oh my, it was like religious experience. Robbo solo in ´Still in love in You´ with Phil and Frankie vocals is a f rock monument which will never be broken.
Gary Moore is a fantastic guitarist, don't get me wrong. But Robertson and Gorham's dueling guitar sound was Thin Lizzy's defining sound in their imperial era. The Live and Dangerous live record is a masterclass in guitar playing, especially the live version of this song
B.R. has stuff in his head others can't see. He is/was a creative genius with his solos. No speed or tricks, just pure notes cascading out. For example the solo in "Don't believe a word." We all know it off by heart, but the backing pattern in the second half is a pure repeat of the first. Brian took it somewhere else completely. That's quite something doing it for the first time. After that everyone else just copies
Thank you so much for posting this. You made my day. I just can’t stop listening to Thin Lizzy, ALL their guitarists are great. And Phil knew how to surround himself with the best.
I agree robbo was a great player and worked well with scott gorham. He left lizzy too soon but no doubt had his reasons.sadly he missed his mark with his band Wildhorses,but made some good album's. Worth a listen with his distinctive style. Iv always been a fan.
No one beats Gary for tone, feeling & sheer style. He wipes the floor with Robbo but this is still cool & Robbo is quite a player. Saw him in wild horses.
ThaInkyou Brian! Am still in love w/ Phli and this song. And your version I love because you're feeling the heartbreak as much as he did, when he put out this song! You're are the real thing. Thanks! please never stop playing music!
I love the clip from Gary Moore and Friends from One Night in Dublin, where Gary and Brian duke it out on this song. It's fantastic. The whole show was really great, but this is 9 1/2 minutes of Heaven. I didn't notice it right away, but Brian is killin' it..... in FLIP FLOPS!! And Gary........it's epic

Gary Moore did the original 🎼
@@youtubejhs5150Correct 🤠
Mine too, a true Masterpiece indeed.

Bless his soul!😊
Thin Lizzy was great for many reasons but Brian Robertson was a pioneer for great riffs and had the ultimate feeling and passion for his playing..
Love Brian Robertson !!!!!
Killer player !!
Loves a pint
He feels every note, pure class.
Lucky enough to see Lizzy with Brian a couple of times. A classy player at such a young age.. god given talent. Still my favourite solo of all time.
Thanks Robbo, this is my favourite guitar solo for over 40 years and it has lost nothing of it's beauty.
It's originally created by Gary Moore.
The space between the notes is what makes his playing really speak!
Well said. Wish someone had told Sykes that.
Melodic gift
Absolutely, it's what you DON'T Play that makes it great
@@mozartsmate6358 And while they were about it, told Yngwie Malmsteen as well..Too many notes start sounding "one dimentional'"
@@bryanwilliams3665 Couldn't agree more! Yngwie style is obviously technically brilliant, but I can't help but become uninterested after listening to 1 song. Personally, I'll take Angus Young (and Brian Robertson) style players anyday over Yngwie style players.
A legend in guitar circles. Casual fans may not be wise to this.

Utter class, what a gut talent, no other words

Your opinion is as far from a fact as the idea that Robertson's brilliance was any kind of waste at all.
Wow great memories for you there,the guy was and still is a great guitarist!!
What a masterful guitarist, Thin Lizzy will forever be one my favorites
One of the best rock guitarists in rocknroll for sure !
What an absolutely beautiful version od I'm Still In Love With You...talk about a guitar singing...what an absolutely amazing version...so full of emotion and feel...love it..
Definitely one of the greatest of all time. ... so well Mr. Robertson.
The best live solo ever.
Such brilliant, passionate playing makes me feel good to be alive!
Robbo! You never let us down. You always were brave.
he is my all time favorite.The style,and his tone on the Gibson is perfect
So much feel so much soul, my favourite guitar solo of all time.
Amazing to think he was still only 22 when he was sacked for the final time....what a talent, incredible.
The sad thing is that give or take the Motörhead year, he had virtually nothing to do all day from aged 22 onwards except booze.
Fantastic. My favorite Lizzy albums are with Robertson, and by far my favorite Motorhead album is Another Perfect Day. Great stuff from a great guitar player!
do gibson make a Robertsons replica guitar? boys a legend...!
Brian Robertson, a true Music legend!
I was very very fortunate to have seen Thin Lizzy open Queen two nights in a row in the '70's in the old Boston Gardens.
That was great brian so much emotional in the playing and feeling beautiful lovely sounding les paul saw you and lizzy great band at Wolverhampton civic Hall years ago always great shows should have never left or because of other matters
The Mighty Robbo that's passion and love for the guitar and the music 10/10
That is some of the most 1Beautiful playing i have ever heard since Gary Moore .Great work Brian .....
These are some of my favourite lead guitar parts ever... EVER! Nice to see it done like this.
Only a teenager when he joined Lizzy - and such an accomplished guitarist at that age
The best version of this for me was when he played it Live on his Black, Les Paul with the white pick guard. I never got tired of replaying it. He is one awesome Guitarist
Still Sends Shivers up my spine and goosebumps Seeing this.
Him and Scott will ALWAYS be the REAL Thin Lizzy guys!
Still makes me cry in a beautiful way. Thanks BR. You wonderful 'ornery Scotsman.
The sign of a true musican is utilising space and timing. Fucking outstanding
Someone tell Sykes.
@@mozartsmate6358 Sykes could play this really well also to be fair
My all time favourite guitar solo, best version (IMO) is on the Live and Dangerous Album... it does things to me...
I'll do things to you, too...

Garry was the better guitarist but Brian was Lizzy's best guitarist, if that makes sense.
Scott was sort of, eh, okay.
Thin Lizzy best Band ever, big hug from Brasil
Oh my, it was like religious experience. Robbo solo in ´Still in love in You´ with Phil and Frankie vocals is a f rock monument which will never be broken.
On the original record, it's Gary Moore soloing. Got a faster vibrato than Robbo.
awesome Robbo....brilliant guitarist....he was the best Thin Lizzy lead player....
Brilliant, soulful playing & pure emotion. Brian's tone RULES. He was my favorite Lizzy guitarist too (even though Gary Moore is my overall fave)
What a player
Rock n roller to the bone

Robbo was fantastic in Thin Lizzy!This solo has his name on it!!!The Les Paul sounds so so good, what a guitar 🎸 player!!!!!
In my humble opinion, a great player up there with the best.
Robbo and motorhead another perfect day.
Love this playing. Thanks Brian
Just an amazing player, such feeling. Second to none!
30 seconds into the song..... and it's blooming so beautifully...
Not my style of music but i can hear how good it sounds , miss your Thin lizzy, Motorhead days, your one of my favorite guitarists.
My favourite Lizzy guitar player saw them Manchester 78 and again with John Sykes. Brian the best.
He has great phrasing, knows when NOT to play, when to kick in, the best guitarist in Lizzy - then Scott Gorham.
Robo was class, along with Scott were a great twin attack and blended great with an amazing front man in Phil, oh that protruding Bass !!
The best guitar solo ever......
Master Class !
I wish this video was 3 hours long
LOL Erin, make it 4 hours, we all love Robbo and stop arguing who was the best
yep. Robbo reminds me of Paul Kossoff. only 'freer' and easier. Great feeling for that Les Paul!
Erin Moriarity 3 hours plus more hahah!
ya like it Erin????
great guitar player!!!!
great guitarist ! what a way to create space in a solo
Robbo,s fhantastic solo,....
For a Legendary Ballade, of Thin Lizzy
Extremely Tasty Tones and such Epic note placement. Robbo is A true King!!! Truly a Gifted Legend.

Master of the waw-waw pedal! Wicked lead player! Great solos!

Now that some hell of a guitar playing 🎸👍
Robbo playing Still in Love with You - are the best versions of my favourite song in this ol' world.
The best of the best :)
respect for another perfect day Robbo
Watching brian play this and he makes it look so easy.
Lizzyes best player! All my favourite Lizzie-tunes is because of Brian :-)
The only guitarist, who so far managed to make me cry, in a good (?) way.
Not specifically by this video though.
The song ended and I was begging for more!
Such soul, restraint & good taste. I wonder if he was one of those people who feel too much so they blot it out & ultimately self destruct.
pure beauty not achivaible this days god bless you brian
och..man...ROBBO ....he was always good..gifted....well done my son
Brilliant 💖
Robo is one bad dude. Outstanding sir
Great playing from Brian. Looking forward to the 7 CD release of their 1978 Live and Dangerous tour.
I'm still in love with this song. And I miss Phil too
so freaking melodic.......
No one beats Gary for tone, feeling & sheer style. He wipes the floor with Robbo but this is still cool & Robbo is quite a player. Saw him in wild horses.
This is the heart and soul.
So so good ! Very talented musician 👌

Brilliant Guitarist.
The Jazzy version from Nigthlife is my no.1 version.. Live and Dangerous VERSION i listened to over and over and over though...❤
That was gary moore on nightlife.. Robbo wouldn't re record the solo saying it was perfect and he couldnt play it better
Best thin Lizzy guitarist BRAVO!!!!!!
