Thin Lizzy - Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo) (1980) FLAC

[@am2boni]

The most amazing video I have seen in years!!! I love this song and to put a video of the reality of what happened is 'mind blowing'. God Bless Thin Lizzy! Thanks for putting this together!!!!

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

+am2boni Thanks for checking it and commenting....great to hear from others who like it as much as I do....and happy you enjoyed the vid I tried for it!

[@davidmcclinton6801]

Phil’s phrasing is fantastic on this track.

[@0211571]

Phil top 5 songwriters of all time. Don’t care what you say Genius

[@danielkallberg-3934]

So many of thin lizzy songs were one of a kind Phillip lynott will live on on my stereo for as long as I live I liked thin lizzy for years my younger son blew my mind when he told me dad u and Phil were both born on august 20th the connection was there already they truly are the best band of all time they pioneered twin lead guitars thanks Phil for all the music

[@amarco5057]

Such a great singer, love Brian downey's style too🤘

[@Cinemagoer_64]

Phil was such a genius! Rest In Peace.

[@greggnewman7547]

One of my Brother's favorite bands, you are out there Jack Newman, in some form maybe reincarnated or something simple like a tear, I will see again...

[@Narrowcaster]

12 years later. I still love what you did with this song. Thanks so much.

[@Cinemagoer_64]

I don’t care what anybody says Brian Downey fueled Thin Lizzy’s sound!

[@davidhuffman5029]

Phil is the most underated songwriter in the history of Rock. An amazing man who could hold his own in any crowd. Saw the classic lineup in 1977 in Dallas. I'll never forget standing right between Philo and Scott at base of stage. Have listened to Lizzy ever since. Thanks for posting this awesome video. Another great song that Lynott wrote.

[@rumpraisin]

Underrated is confused with unheard.

[@frankfrohmann1504]

Best band ever.

[@am2boni]

To be at that live show back in 77, must have been mind blowing! That's kick ass!!!

[@alanfletcher9698]

What a Blast seeing Lizzy in America. Lucky Soul . The Cream of Rock Music

[@larrybrownX]

This song is very beautiful. The Running Wild version made it fuller.

[@careyjamesv]

Link Ray, who was native American, did an influential song called "Genocide" Link Ray is also credited for inventing the power cord and his influence is still around. I wonder if there is a connection.

[@rammstein1994able]

The name is Link Wray

[@garagerocker48]

One of the best bands of all time

[@enasallaleon7496]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RyanH-t8x]

Thank you for Phil forgiving that message to me rest in peace brother❤

larry sellers But nevertheless, the white man broke his promises towards the native American people. Founder of democracy is not a justification for breaking promises; to say this in Latin: "pacta sunt servanda"

Watched it again. First time I saw the genocide.

[@dotl8084]

Masterpiece

[@christiankonig6499]

One of the greatest bands of all times,no other hard rock band can compere, brillant melodies,unforgetable tunes, check out "we will be strong" from chinatown, best melodic hard rock song of all times!!!!!!

[@grantellis4631]

Doesn’t it just blow your mind that someone killed that white buffalo calf back in 2012. But thanks to you telling us the story, that evil is registered in consciousness.

[@jeffratz]

Phil paints a mental picture with his words beautiful. Yes he is soooo underrated bt if they dont want to know forget them!!!!!!

[@jimfitzpatrick8151]

Well done, superb job for a great song.

[@bobolsen8067]

The best song on the Chinatown album and Phil sounds so good here!!

Breathtaking video to a great later Lizzy song Love it.

[@labruma5]

Song, message, group, lyrics, video, sound, composition, all excellent

[@hairmetal2]

Bro , the pics you placed in with this vid , make this a great vid.

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

Appreciate that, bruh! I've always thought the song was so overlooked and just the kind of song that I thought could benefit from some imagery to maybe open it up to more fans? It was one of the first vids I ever made....clueless, but was happy that I had at least tried to get it some love. Haven't seen it in years, but I know that I could do a pretty straightforward upgrade and make it really shine. Usually don't upgrade many of my videos that have managed to rank at all (such as this one! yay!), because the old ones keep getting all the views and the new ones sink to the bottom. Still....you got me thinking, man! 🤔I could definitely bring better audio for it now.

[@hairmetal2]

Its like my fav. LIZZY vid , really makes the song stick to its meanings , SPOT ON. GREAT JOB. i been watching like eveyday all day.

[@harryp6609]

Thank you Phil for this majestic song. Nobody could write better lyrics!

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

@taekwongr Thanks for the comment. Philip remains one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of the 70's/80's. Every time a new Thin Lizzy album was released I'd rush to the record store to hear Phil's new words and voice.....wish he was still with us.

[@davidfarris2359]

Brilliant video! Love Phil.

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

@HeavyMetal469 Yeah, Phil wrote several tunes 'bout the American west; this one, "Fools Gold", "Cowboy Song" come to mind. Guess he was somehow drawn to write about the period. Thanks for checking it and for commenting!

[@pathebasse4052]

philip Lynott was a great song writer

[@steveb8163]

MetalGuru you did an amazing job on this one, must be the best of all Lizzy videos you did!!

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

Fantastic song, and a video befitting of it!

[@dennyshoopman4397]

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

@Narrowcaster Thanks so much for watching the video and the words of support! I hope you find some others that you like!

[@Cinemagoer_64]

Thank you! Absolutely brilliant!

[@Marctull66]

Very nice video on a very good Thin Lizzy song. Congratulations. :) Although Thin Lizzy came late in my musical background (I didn't fancy the band so much in the early 80's when a mate who was mainly into hard rock introduced me to them), but nowadays, I own quite a bunch of their stuff plus the first solo album by the late Phil Lynott and I've always preferred the albums with Snowy White (Renegade is my favourite) and also "Black Rose". I didn't know about the sad fate of this young buffalo, it's really disgusting. Yes, we had to learn from the Native Americans, some of them at least. I can't even understand now all those games about cowboys against indians that we all played, also in Europe and in my country France. The civilization is a very relative word, indeed. As always Man is dangerous to himself, not only to Nature or Mother Earth, and many atrocities have occured on both sides.

[@semrete]

♥ God Bless ♥ PHILIP LYNOTT ♥ for writing & singing The TRUTH ♥

[@CAINACC]

wonderful video for a wonderful song! great work !!!

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

Very happy to know you've enjoyed them! Numerous programs used for videos...think this one (and "The Stolen Child") were mostly Photoshop and Proshow...no real video effects, or editing, just image manipulation/masking in Photoshop and compositing in Proshow. thanks so much for the words!

[@Retroscoop]

Wow, a very impressive collection of photographic material you brought together here in one nicely made contribution, must have been quite some research work ! Congratulations from Antwerp, Belgium !

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

Thank you sincerely for the nice comment and for watching the vid!

[@tabithasable9138]

This video captivates me every time I see it. Fantastic job. I think Phil would have appreciated it. I sure do.

[@billygnosis6976]

Great band and great song.....life viewed up close is a tragedy but life viewed from a distance is a comedy. With that said, can anyone name even one country in the world that has not come to be with out conquest, war and atrocities. Man is a beast in many ways.

[@michelmuller3008]

fantastique chanson et vidéo magistrale.. merci....

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

@Ork751 LOL! Right! I guess there are not that many people who know this great track or maybe they haven't found it yet. It is by far the least watched video I've yet created and I'm kinda surprised about it's relative lack of interest because it's such a great tune. I guess it's to be expected that it's not as popular as the more well known numbers by the band, but that's the really what my effort is about.....bringing interest and awareness of some great though lesser known album tracks.

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

@SonicWaves777 Thanks so much for your continued support and encouragement, D & C! Not 10 minutes ago I watched your own video for Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song" and though I have not had time to comment on the vid (I will tonight), I'm amazed at the growth you guys have shown with your work in such a short period. More on that on your page later! The plight and tragedy of the American Indian is one that always resonated with me and I'm happy to have found my own little way to highlight it.

[@MetalGuruMessiah]

@RLF777 Hello and thanks for watching the video. I'm really not sure if the picture even had a name. Its been quite awhile since I made this video, but I had seen it in a couple of other videos and on various internet sites when I was searching for images. There is something very beautiful and haunting about and I'm very honored to use it to help convey the message of the song. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Thanks again for watching and for your interesting question.

[@Narrowcaster]

Man (?), what a great job you did in creating this video. Thanks for the time and energy you put into this. Beautiful images you found connected tot this song, I'm gonna explore your other videos.

I love this track from one of my favourite bands. Thank you for doing such a fine job with regards to the presentation. I´m creating some playlists for my nephew. I hope he likes it. I love it. Many thanks. BTW: It was a shame what the white man did in the 19th century. Killing the buffalo, killing the livelihood of most of the American Natives.

[@michaelb.w.nelson2084]

He alway did; my ancestors are from east Prussia; they were slaughtered by the German Order, the rest was assimilized. I still wear this pain.
