Phil Lynott was a living poem... John Sykes is a painter who uses a guitar to draw his dreamy music scapes.

@Jack D Shed the 70's Thin Lizzy? Did you fall and hit your head son?

[@HazeAnderson]

@Jack D The songwriting is a bit weak -- doesn't really go anywhere but still managed to capture my time and attention. It's just a vehicle for soloing over, hardly sucks by comparison to most everything being touted as popular in 2020.

Phil Lynott was a folk rock, hard rock, heavy metal, pop, funk, jazz, and punk rock star all rolled into one. Seriously one of my biggest influences in my musical life and so many others. Such a tragic end for him but he still lives on through music and always will.

The scourge of drugs and alcohol already showing in Phils bloated appearance and lackluster performance with this ''Dear Mrs lonely heart'' arrangement.I had the privelege of seeing him circa '70's with 3 piece doing Hendrix covers ,and ''Farmer'' era with the incredible Eric Bell on guitar...my fav line up/era...

[@christervainio]

Lynott was a master songwriter. Even if like John Sykes, i don't think his guitarplaying fitted with Lynott solo or in Lizzy. Ok., Phil wanted to close Thin Lizzy's amazing album catalogue with a hard and heavy album. And the farewell album came out as one of their best albums. But in my opinion Sykes had a hard time slowing down and leave the shredding behind in old Lizzy classics. Robertson and Gorham put a very high standard to the songs with their soulful and bluesy guitars. It wasn't easy for Sykes to take over and replace Robertson, when it comes to playing more soft with heart and soul. Love Lizzy.❤️

P.S. I grew up on King Arthur and the knights of the round table and funny enough the motif Melody was the opening theme for a show called "The history of Cinema" so it's not like I'm not a fan of the music either. I know, I'll listen to Phil now.
