Musings on the byways of popular culture
Was touted at one point as a replacement for the late Steve Clarke in Def Leppard, a position ultimately filled by ex Dio and Whitesnake guitarist Vivien Campbell who is currently facing his own fight with the disease.
RIP. The last Thin Lizzy album is a spirited last effort, albeit one that doesn’t sound much like the rest of their catalogue. It’s a distinct improvement over the Snowy White albums. Their final single, The Sun Goes Down, is very good.

Totally agree about The Sun goes down. Great song
Crappy news to a rock kid like me.
As good a guitarist in his area as there was, played with some big names.
