Who played lead guitar for Thin Lizzy?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) March 22nd, 2013

I’m listening to Whiskey in the Jar and enjoying the guitar riffs, but I can’t recall who played lead. The vocals were done by the bassist. I’m guessing half the jellies are thinking who?

I believe Eric Bell was the original lead.

Yes, that’s who it was.

The boys are back in town… my ex knew Phil Lynott’s mum.

Shortly after that single was released, Bell left and was replaced by Gary Moore – the best guitarist they ever had.
