For other persons named Eric Bell, see Eric Bell (disambiguation).
Eric Bell (born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 3 September 1947) is a musician.
He was the lead guitarist for Thin Lizzy, and played on the band's first three albums Thin Lizzy, Shades of a Blue Orphanage and Vagabonds of the Western World.
Although Thin Lizzy were gaining in popularity, the pressures of recording, touring and the excesses of the rock-star lifestyle, began to take its toll, and he left the band after a New Year's Eve concert in 1973 after throwing his guitar into the air in the middle of the concert and pushed the amplifiers into the crowd and stormed off, as he said on the Gary Moore and Friends DVD Interviews.
