What’s occurring in the world of Thin Lizzy? Well, guitar icon Scott Gorham – the man whose Les Paul licks helped shape the very DNA of rock – has just unveiled a collection of mind-bending, gloriously psychedelic artworks that’ll have you seeing double quicker than a night out on the Brains SA 🍻.
The new pieces, which Gorham has been quietly creating away from the stage lights, look like something cooked up in a cosmic jam session between Salvador Dalí, Jimi Hendrix, and a lava lamp. We’re talking swirling colours, surreal textures, and riffs turned into visuals – the kind of thing Phil Lynott himself would’ve grinned at and said, “Tidy, mun!” 🏴
Gorham’s art comes from the same soul that gave us twin-guitar harmonies on “Emerald” and “Black Rose.” Instead of strings and frets, though, he’s wielding brushes, palettes, and digital trickery. Each piece feels like it’s got a soundtrack built in – you can practically hear the feedback and feel the groove just looking at them.
And here’s the kicker – Gorham isn’t just showing them off for a bit of fun. The artworks are being exhibited and sold, meaning fans can bring a piece of Lizzy history into their own homes (perfect for above the record player, next to your battered copy of Live and Dangerous 🤘).
💭 Fan Reactions So Far?
- “Looks like the cover of a Thin Lizzy album that never existed!”
- “Proper job – Gorham is a wizard both with a guitar and a paintbrush.”
- “I was tamping I couldn’t afford one, but even the prints are lush.”
Scott might not be on stage as often these days, but this proves he’s still as creative and fiery as ever. Whether it’s six strings or splashes of colour, the man’s got riffs in his veins and visions in his head.
🎤 One question remains though: which Lizzy tune would you blast while staring into Gorham’s trippy artwork – Jailbreak, Whiskey in the Jar, or the full Black Rose? Let us know, c’mon butt!
