Thin Lizzy/Tommy Vance - Excerpt w/ John Sykes (10 Jan 1986)

John Sykes talks about how he met Phil Lynott and discusses his time with him to Tommy Vance on the BBC on 1/10/1986. Enjoy!

However, I do wish John wouldn't have chewed gum throughout the entire interview...

Thanks.

Do you have the Brian Robertson interview from the same show?I think it was the friday rock show

[blacksabfan]

Yeah, I already posted his segment. Funny you should ask for that specific one because Robertson's and Sykes' are the only two I posted from the entire show.

[LizzyRocks]

Have this whole show somewhere, thanks for sharing.

I remember listening to this show that very night,

very emotional night

[grumpyoldgitt]

Sykes really does have an economy with words. Unbelievable!

I remember him at a party where he criticised a friend of my brother. He said the friend shouldn't be wearing a guitar pendant around his neck because he didn't play the instrument !

Still, judging from this interview he's putting more effort into chewing than talking.

[RatherStupid]

oh, I didn´t know, sorry mate, my bad :)

[99theinvertedmoron]

Yeah, we spoke about it actually. I've been dead against recording for a long time because I thought it might be disrespectful to start recording [as THIN LIZZY again]. There's been a lot people saying "We'd like to hear some new stuff." and finally Scott wanted to do it and finally I just kind of thought "You know, maybe it's time. It's been a long time". If we can come up with something great, I'm into doing it.

[99theinvertedmoron]

Have you ever considered recording new material, like a whole new studio album, as THIN LIZZY?

[99theinvertedmoron]

if you go to his myspace site you'll find a link to an interview from september 2008 where this is being said:

[99theinvertedmoron]

Now obviously he's left the new Lizzy (it wasn't the case when I wrote that 9 months ago)

[RatherStupid]

they´re not.. where did you get that from??

[IAINoodle]

yeah the gum sound is fuckin gross

it's sounds like he's getting blown during the interview XD

he sounds really unhappy talking about it

great clip otherwise
