#THIN LIZZY LEAD SINGER FULL#

In 1979 Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham, having seen White play with Pink Floyd in New York City during the Animals tour, approached him about joining Thin Lizzy. During the tour, White started off the show by playing bass guitar on the song ' Sheep', as well as soloing during ' Have a Cigar' and 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond Part VIII'. White's solo on ' Pigs on the Wing' (it appears on the 8-track version), was his first time playing for the band. White had been recommended to Pink Floyd by Kate Bush's former manager Hilary Walker, as they were looking for an additional guitarist for the live band on the Animals tour in 1977. During this time he met Peter Green and the two began a lifelong friendship (White later appeared on Green's album In the Skies). By 1970 he made his way to London and found work as a session player and as a member of Heavy Heart. In 1968 he purchased his signature guitar, a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. He moved to Stockholm in 1965 at the age of seventeen, spending more than a year there playing in a trio called the Train. White grew up on the Isle of Wight, self-taught as a guitarist, having received his first guitar from his parents at the age of ten. 2.4 Other recordings featuring Snowy White.In April 2019, Mastodon's Troy Sanders took over from Hamilton on bass.

Downey also briefly took a break from Thin Lizzy around the same time, with Mark Nauseef replacing him for a tour in late 1978. The lineup of Lynott, Gorham, Robertson and Downey released five studio albums and one live album, all but two of which reached the top ten of the UK Albums Chart, before Robertson left in 1978 and was replaced by the returning Moore. Andy Gee and John Du Cann took over for a tour in May, before Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham were enlisted later in the year as Bell's first full-time replacements. The guitarist was replaced by Gary Moore, although he would only remain with the band for a matter of months. Bell left the band after a concert on New Year's Eve 1973, later citing 'ill-health caused by the band's lifestyle' as the reason for his departure. Wrixon performed on the band's debut single 'The Farmer', but left before it was released in July 1970. Thin Lizzy were formed in December 1969, with four members joining from two bands: guitarist Eric Bell and keyboardist Eric Wrixon from Them, and bassist and vocalist Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey from Orphanage.
