FOR ALL THINGS IRISH AND ROCK N ROLL. Eric Bell.part 1

[@jimmoore8943]

When Gary Moore done that tribute gig and Eric Bell came on stage never forget that smile on his face great

[@K.Straughan]

Eric is The Man,Phil would tell you that!

[@ricogarion]

God bless you Eric Bell, I'm only now beginning to see what a wonderful person you are. These interviews are wonderful, thank you all.

[@phillynott2459]

The first 3 Lizzy albums are magic to me. I love the songs and the production. It has that late 60's /early 70's sound that I love.

[@samandjennysambrook]

Well said,I bought all the back catalogue on Lizzy as I'm a lifelong fan,and I realy love the Eric bell years..I was 16 when I first loved Lizzy,I'm 62 now and they are still my favourite band.RIP PHILO x❤♠x

[@phillynott2459]

@@samandjennysambrook you sound like a cool dude!! 😀 My favorite song of all time is Vagabond of the western world... I'm kinda weird huh? Lol 🙂

[@samandjennysambrook]

@@phillynott2459 anyone liking Lizzy songs could never seem weird to me!👍🎸

[@Renegade8652]

@@phillynott2459 That's a heavy song on an underrated album.

[@davethebass3517]

Still my favourite Lizzy lineup and album. I first saw them in 1973 (Penzance) and Eric was just awesome. I saw them with Gary Moore too after Eric left. What a great guy Eric is to chat to :-)

[@MrPnew1]

What a great story teller Eric is and such a cool guy. Thanks Brendan

[@caolanoh1]

Eric Bell this is an inspiration

[@phillynott2459]

The first Lizzy album should've set the world on fire.

[@wildatlanticman128]

These interviews are archives. Just brilliant. I met Eric a couple of years ago at Feile, Thurles, Co.Tipp. A true gent.

[@denismurray868]

another brilliant entertainment ,thanks guys for the memories

[@ybabredi]

Wonderful interview. Eric is a real hero of mine. He’s a gas man.

[@alancooper1728]

What a great video and what a gifted storyteller. 👊

[@shea086]

Terrific interview from a terrific Eric Bell.

[@kieranohara7024]

.... WHAT A NICE AND MODEST PERSON HE IS, A REAL GENTLEMAN WHO MASTERS HIS INSTRUMENT AS NOT MANY DO ... GOD BLESS ...

[@samandjennysambrook]

Eric layed quite a few flagstones in guitar music for the rest of us to work from.. An original and gifted player indeed.. And also a realy friendly guy with kind Irish eyes👌🎸🎶🐏☘️

[@adamscurse4735]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing this. Eric is a great storyteller and amazingly gifted musician.

[@0211571]

I’ve seen many Thin Lizzy bios. I met them back in the 70’s. This is the best. Eric is amazing. He’s an amazing guitarist too

[@bennywhite1]

Thank you all for the lovely comments about Erics interview. Myself and Brendan are pretty oroud of this one.

[@samandjennysambrook]

Met Eric a few times and seen him play. A realy nice guy..and a brilliant player too.🎸💕👍

[@thegroovetube2316]

It's been so good to here these stories from Eric. It's strange to think that I played with him on an Irish tour a few years later, playing Whiskey in the Jar, never knowing such a colourful history. I would love to meet Eric again as he is such a nice guy.

[@richardjohnson3463]

Wonderful story, the way it was!!!

[@SaxJockey]

At 42:48 when Eric said F**k Me, It's Us 🤣.

[@johnmccann6390]

Love it ! i could listen all day ,wonderful insights and great memories .

[@PhilBaird1]

Wonderful interview (Thanks Eric) with a hero of mine. Eric's too modest and he can hold his head up high for his contribution to Thin Lizzy. The Rocker that closes this part of the interview is one of the most feral guitar tracks ever recorded and still Thin Lizzy's finest hour in my opinion.

[@peterhol5649]

Gigant !

[@RabidSnot]

at 33:10 he brought tears to my eye's..I can't help it. those magically first three songs Philip played on that reel to reel tape... wish I knew which ones they were.. at 55:48 I have a copy of that 1st album 1st pressing and I've Always loved that first one. I hope somewhere in there is those first three songs. We Love You Eric, You are a humble caring amazing guitarist and wonderful Irish man. R.I.P Philip, Gary and Thin Lizzy. Thank you for sharing a little about your time in the Greatest Irish Rock N Roll band Ever. God Bless You, Sir..

[@arthurhayden]

Brilliant Video Lads.

[@user-gm5by6dj3d]

Love the band . Grew up in this era. Wonderful times

[@benedictgrapes]

Love this interview such an amazing story.

[@davidshields948]

One of the great guitarists.🤟💯💜

[@justinparkerthewildwolf6394]

I love Eric Bell. I love his part in Lizzy the best ,I just love his playing much more than the others who played in Lizzy , plus I have his albums with Eric Bell band and solo ones and he did four with Noel redding band too ,I've even got the tribute to deep purple that Lizzy did in 73.

[@terencesingerline135]

I just watched a great interview with Scott Gorham talking about the making of the Jailbreak album..Great interview and highly recommend checking it out for all us Lizzy Fans…Luck would have it that this video popped up..This interview with Eric Bell is priceless..I just love the depth of the stories Eric weaves…It’s like you were present during these events he speaks of..That’s what Thin Lizzy was to me with Phil and the boys writing these songs we all felt so connected to and could relate to as well..One of my favorite bands of all time as with so many others watching this interview..Thank you for sharing

[@freezerjoe]

Great great interview

[@KDoc1951]

Absolutely fantastic interview. It seems like there is a lot more to be told. I'll look forward to part two.

[@phillynott2459]

This is awesome! In 2014 I sent Eric a video of me playing"vagabond of the western world" on my electric guitar and he actually watched it and liked it. That was very exciting. I remember he said he liked his solo in "Brought Down" and "Eire" was one of his favorite songs

[@petermckernanmusic757]

This is awesome.

[@tonspegel-magnussoderstrom8195]

The great thing about modern times like ytube is that you can watch interviews like this. Nice one! All the best!

[@bluerfoot]

He will never be in a "top 100" list but he is great. those first 3 albums are full of quirky guitar stuff that the (classic?) albums would never have. that's not a knock on all the fantastic guitarists what would grace the band, but this guy was the most unique in my opinion.

[@lostworldcomics]

This was awesome! Love Thin Lizzy and Bell seems like a great guy.

[@phillynott2459]

Love it

[@paulmyers8959]

What a cool video Eric. I played in showbands too so I know the empty feeling of not being in a original band.

[@patrickminer5926]

Eric bell stand tall son you were Thin Lizzy your guitar rang like a bell!! Sort of speak lol Bloody hell you sounded so good No one can ever sound like you and Phil and Brian sounded like let's not forget Keyboardist Eric Wrixon Rock on forever!!

[@thomaslorenzen1330]

Eric is such a nice person. I wish it had subtitles so I could understand what he is talking about.

[@THE_ALMAN]

OMG!!! BRILLIANT interview. I have never seen Eric Bell so animated, articulate and honest. The only complaint I have is that, despite its length, it seemed too short - he seemed to be about to share some more (albeit very personal) aspects of his life when , to my horror, the credits began to roll. Please let there be a "Part 2" 🙏🙏

[@brenno395]

Unfortunately the video footage was lost to the end but I have the audio and I’ll edit it with photos for part 2.

[@THE_ALMAN]

@@brenno395 Excellent - can't wait 👍👍

[@derry3344ii]

Brilliant from Eric

[@vasantiago3038]

Great story of Phil's early days. .😂😂😂😅 eric. . 🎸 🎵 🎶 🎵

[@spa6308]

Vagabond in the best rock album of all times. At least this is my view! As fascinating as the personality of Eric! Plus Phil!

[@dixiefallas7799]

Eric you have copied my bloody life! Ha ha. I was playing round the corner from you one night I think it was in Eskilstuna in Sweden around 97/98. I couldn’t get to see you as I was on at the same time as you. All the world to you 😊🇬🇧

[@owenmcgee8496]

the way he takes off Phil Lynott makes me laugh every time, or i was laughing about 47mins in. enjoyable interview, funny story about origins of whisky in the jar about 1hr09min in.

[@randyperfecto7468]

Love Eric damn shame he didn’t make it big with the Lizzy’s

[@gottadomor7438]

Proud to say own EB's solo London Nights disc; not a weak track onnit.
