(This excerpt appeared in an article from a Dutch magazine called 'Aardschok Metal Hammer' in June 1988, in this article Scott Gorham is given the opportunity to give his opinion on some Thin Lizzy songs)

"This we recorded with John Sykes, it's on our last studio-album. At that time we knew we would split up. I already told Phil four or five months before that I would leave the band. He talked me into recording another album and touring for a last time. After the tour we would split up and after six months re-unite (he laughed). Actually it was the fourth or fifth time Phil had to persuade me to stay, so I was getting used to give in. The album was very hard to make, since we knew we were going to split up. I felt sorry for John Sykes who just joined the band after leaving Tygers of Pan Tang. He boarded a sinking ship and I think the quality of the album suffered because of that ."

2 .This is the One

3. The Sun Goes Down  (UK # 52, Aug. 6, 1983)

4 .The Holy War

The demo title for this song was titled 'Chosen One' which most likely was the original title Phil had in mind for the song.

5. Cold Sweat (UK # 27, Feb. 26, 1983)

If you hear the song 'Waiting For An Alibi' (on 'Black Rose - A Rock Legend') you'll hear the lyric, "Valentino's in a cold sweat, placed all his money on his last bet".Maybe there might be a connection between both of the songs. The line in Cold Sweat says, "I might spend it in stages, or move out to Las Vegas" , so both songs mentioning gambling. 

6. Someday She Is Going To Hit Back

Also, on the demo version of this song was titled 'Mama Don't Like It' which could have been the original title Phil had in mind for the song. The demo track had no vocals, but the song on the Thunder and Lightning does.

7. Baby Please Don't Go

8. Bad Habits

9. Heart Attack
