that voice he was so beautiful.

[@LRBerry]

A voice like warm honey.

[@lilysmiles3195]

Truly beautiful and unforgettable man. His death will always haunt me. I feel so much love for him

[@paulpetrie2791]

Me too

[@grazynaprosc975]

Phil Lynott a very talented wise and modest man. He wrote and composed beautiful songs. With his beautiful, strong voice he was able to sing in a variety of musical styles. He loved his country , loved people but for some reason he was unhappy . Although he tried to hide it , there was sadness in his eyes , sadness in his voice. He was more lively on stage seeing his fans. I love Philip's voice and i'm very sorry i couldn't be at his concerts but those such were times . Phil Lynott is legend a beautiful legend is still alive in our hearts. We miss you Phil . ♥️🎶🎸

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

I full agree with every word that you said, and thank you.

[@sbphillips177]

So we'll put..sucks that he's gone..we missed alot of music..but in the same breath have to be grateful for what he gave

[@FredPena-rd5cf]

As much as i like Phil he wasnt wise. Nor was he singing over a braod range of musical styles. He was pretty limited as a singer. And his lack of wisdom had him writing alot of tirds that didnt chart or get radio play. And his dalliance with skag was a fools choice. Sadly he lost it all because of it.

[@dazauto1400]

He knows it's the end of Thin Lizzy and you can see that inside he's totally devastated.

[@sbm5379]

might have been the smack

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

This broke Phil's heart, All that was needed some time for the boys and Phil to heal themselves, get off the hard stuff it was never any good. Phil drove himself into the ground and gave too much of himself to others and did not keep enough for himself. Phil was a born rocker and Thin Lizzy was the very best rocking band in this world. God bless you Phil with many gifts but you left us to soon

[@alanfletcher9698]

Very Rare to see a Man with so much Chrisma . Bless Phil Lynott. What a Diamond

[@ThinLlZZY]

He just seems so sad and defeated here. I understand it, Lizzy were ending, he had just finished performing, and it was a huge thing for him. You'd just want to reach out and give that man a hug and just say thank you. I hope he really knew how much he was (and still is) loved by people.

[@criddycriddy]

He seemed a beautiful soul, very little ego visible for sure. Amazing talent, sure glad I found His music 🎵Thank you Phil ... 🌱

[@LRD113]

Phil was is a down to earth human I’ve listened to his music since 1974 when I first saw Thin Lizzy live Liseberg Gothenburg

[@grahamgray2421]

The man was incredible! He wrote some of the best rock songs ever and a nice man!!! Rip sir

[@jamesgreene4811]

He sure was Sir a true Gentleman of Rock and a true Legend that left us to soon miss Phil everyday 💯best wishes from the heart of Ireland 🇮🇪☘️

[@DAHENDO23]

Still bummed A reformed Lizzy didn't get a chance to play live aid.Phil would've had that crowd at his command for some singing and howling would've been brilliant. God bless you Phil.

[@rob5249]

Bob geldoff could have helped that happen. They were mates! Very sad

[@tribalflute3895]

A fan since 76. When I went to school for music in LA on the performance stage I would do Thin Lizzy tunes. The guys from Europe would lose their minds! And friends were made. Thank you Philip Paris... Look at this video. 25,000 views between 2021 and 2024 and growing. I would say that he is still an influence on this planet. Thanks for posting this! And to all my four string friends to the low end in Europe, Chow baby!

[@chrisscrivener4759]

I loved that man.. Still do

[@terjeweum3677]

I named my son after him. Another Philip Parris^^. Gladly saw them live once, back in the day @ Monsters Of Rock. What a band, what a voice. Truly great.

[@lamnag01]

[@tanyachetcuti5608]

😢😢😢 such a beautiful soulful man, but his eyes were tinged with sorrow and sadness… and every time I hear “old school” and “still in love with you”… it’s like his pain is felt all over again. May you rest in eternal peace now with the mother who loved you so much and was so proud of you, You were special, You are missed all these years later and you always will be ❤

[@prezooom4307]

Lyrical Genius in the Edgar Allan Poe Jimi Hendrix Bob Dylan Bob mode. Very much underrated Man Here.

[@lamnag01]

Bob Geldof said it " if Lizzy had of stayed together they would of been the biggest band in the world"

[@alanfletcher9698]

Miss Phil and Lizzy it's like a part of your family that you can't see anymore. It means that much all these years later

Phil going into politics, now that would have been interesting!😁 And him doing a dance record would have been worth a listen.

[@chris623able]

Check out the song break down he did with junior its actually really good! You can find it on KZbin he also did he fell like a soldier with junior and time theyre both very good songs! I actually messaged junior on Instagram about the songs he said they never got released due to some business stuff with a record company or something but theyre class songs check em out youll enjoy them

[@PHILGYPSYBLUESCLARK]

A sad time. So much respect for this man. Bumped into him twice, impressive. Saw the Greedy Bastards in Camden in 78 I think it was, saw Lizzy twice and was at the post gig party in Kew after the first ill fated Grand Slam gig at the Marquee. Such an amazing legacy.

[@Bone74838]

[@PHILGYPSYBLUESCLARK]

@@Bone74838 I was on bass in a band called Rogue Male at the time, we missed the gig but went back to Phil's house in Kew for the post gig party.

Philip Parris Lynott (West Bromwich, Inglaterra, 20 de agosto de 1949-Salisbury, Inglaterra, 4 de enero de 1986) fue un cantante, instrumentista y compositor irlandés, conocido por ser el bajista, cantante principal, compositor, líder y fundador del grupo de rock irlandés Thin Lizzy.

[@johnrosier1686]

Thin Lizzy packed a lot in during those years- many albums, tours, different guitar players. They kept pretty busy.

[@RSBurgener]

If he had lived, Thin Lizzy would've absolutely had a resurgence. Of course he took it hard, who wouldn't? But they could've found the long view. Of course the music would return, it just needed some time for people to rediscover it.

[@1975480able]

Sound man offstage , it was all about the music with Phil ....

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

When I get to heaven i and Jesus asks me, what was the best bond that band says play live and produce the best songs I will have no problem saying It was Thin Lizzy

[@phillynott2459]

I never liked Lizzy much when I was a teenager in the 90's because I was a thrash metal fan and I thought they were boring, TO MY DYING SHAME ...😵😵😭😭😭

[@harrype3283]

I love Philiip

[@jeremiahwise8040]

People talk about this inner sadness in him. Could it be people didn't give him his proper credit or have a willingness to understand him? Im certain most of his faults a lot them anyways were do his disposition, not his actual true character. Shame for those that had to know the worst of him im sure he didn't mean for it to be that way. Unfortunately i cant speak on Philips behalf. I know that would bother me but after so much time you build up emotional calluses and find an emotional crutch like alcohol or drugs. We love you always Philip you are the best musician of our time. Sacred and sentimental to my heart anyways.
