Jailbreak was covered by The Dropkick Murphys and Anthrax who also covered The Cowboy Song. Whiskey In A Jar was covered by Metallica. Iron Maiden covered Massacre. Rosalie was covered by Motorhead, Mastadon covered Emerald and Megadeth covered Cold Sweat. Thin Lizzy is popular in the metal community, sometimes people need to be reminded of their importance in music history.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I had no idea how heavily covered the band were. How lovely it was to learn that they are so well thought of in the wider music community 😊

[@ll7868]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers There are so many great pre-metal rock bands that have amazing covers by metal bands. Cum On Feel The Noize and Mama We're All Crazy Now by Quiet Riot are actually Slade covers and the NWOBHM and first all-female metal group Girlschool did popular covers of ZZ Top's Tush and Sweet's Fox On The Run. In This Moment (You would love lead singer Maria Brink's sultry and powerful voice) did a fantastic cover of Queen's We Will Rock You with Taylor Momsen (Cindy Lou Who in the Jim Carrey Grinch movie) of The Pretty Reckless and Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. In This Moment also did the John Wick 4 theme song I Would Die For You. I actually love that song as John Wick's theme, it's haunting, you should react to it.

[@ll7868]

And before anyone says ZZ Top wasn't an inspiration to metal should check out Pantera who loved ZZ Top and their bluesy riffs. Motorhead did a cover of ZZ Top's Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers too.

[@danielolson5378]

Gary Moore did a cover of Emerald as well plus he and Phil, Brian Downey (i think) did a version of Still In Love With You

[@ll7868]

@@danielolson5378 Brian Downey, I don't see that name very often, yeah that was him on the Nightlife album version of Still In LOve With You. Canadian actor Brian Downey, he played Stanley Tweedle on one of my all time favourite tv shows, Lexx. He was also the main antagonist in the movie Hobo With A Shotgun. Don't see him much on tv anymore either. The Gary Moore Emerald cover is also Brian, I had to check that, I thought it was Cozy Powell who was the drummer for Gary on After The War, but that track is a bonus and not the line-up of the band. Simon Phillips is the drummer on "Speak for Yourself" and "Blood of Emeralds" but Cozy is the drummer on everything else from that album & it's bonus tracks.

[@Tarkus_]

Phil Lynott is a legend. Thanks for having Thin Lizzy on your channel! "Live and Dangerous" is one of the all-time great live albums. 🤟

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

It was my absolute pleasure. What a wonderful band 😊

[@davidmatthews7766]

totally with you there. i listened to live the double album but still prefer live and dangerous every time, and yes Phil lynott is a legend.

[@GrampsD63]

That and "Strangers In The Night". My 2 favs.

[@Tarkus_]

@@GrampsD63 Good call! Two of the best live albums ever!

[@GordonHeaney]

Phil Lynott's vocal lines were really off the wall, behind the beat, ahead of the beat, conversational as you say. Made him unique in the rock world.

[@neilparnell967]

The best lineup with Robbo and Scott. Scotts solo is incredible in how restrained yet emotive it is while serving the song perfect. Very underrated guitarist.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

You had me at serving the song! :)

[@ll7868]

Reporter: "What does it feel like being black and Irish?" Phil Lynott: "Like a pint of Guinness." Sidenote: Guinness Extra Stout is the best Draught beer, bitter, sweet and dry, Guinness Gold is the best Lager, crisp and fruity with a hint of chocolate and caramel, and Guinness Golden Ale is the best Pilsner, smells like fresh bakes biscuits and smooooooth like malty cream. The Irish know how to brew damn fine beer.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Everyone should check Phil Lynott " Ode to A Black Man" off his 82 solo album with Huey Lewis on harmonica. One of the best songs ever written!!

[@S-dr7jx]

Check Harlem From Grand Slam, live version....incredible

[@Duckyz.]

For some metal that features a saxophone, check out Where Owls Know My Name or The Silent Life by Rivers of Nihil. The entire album features a saxophone and it’s great!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I will do! Thanks my dude! :)

[@kyussinchains]

Came here to say this!!

[@pillarhood471]

Also the band Yakuza

Wonderful. One of my first favourite bands från the 70's. I saw Thin Lizzy every time they played in Sweden from 1980 until the breakup and Phils death. I even saw both solo shows he did in Sweden as well. They are probably loved by most rock musicians even if they don't say so in public. They have inspired so many rock and metal bands with their two guitars playing solos and harmonies together.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

It’s so lovely to see that they are so well thought of. Thanks for tuning again Mikael! 😊

@@SoulSingerDiscovers Always Melissa. I don't miss a chance to see and hear you and your beautiful Scottish accent. 😘

[@philipmulcahy7234]

Interesting fact, a Thin Lizzy tribute band called Thin Az Lizzy played at a festival in Holland, the saxophone player here ( John Earl) was playing with another band at the festival and he jamed with Thin Az Lizzy on Dancing In The Moonlight when they played, how cool is that.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Philip, I believe I would’ve had a nervous breakdown if I saw something that cool 😆

[@justanotherbuckeye]

One of the best rock bands not enough people know about. One of my all time favorites.

[@welshphantom8964]

Thank you fir NOT doing Whiskey in the Jar. Everyone and their Granny goes fir that one. Lizzy have a wonderful catalogue of brilliant songs to be explored.🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤 P.S. The Angel and The Gambler aff the Virtual XI album by Iron Maiden has horns on it. You'll have to listen to the album version. Enjoy 😁

[@dougoneill7266]

This is 'John 'Irish' Earle. on sax, he was in the support band for this tour, Graham Parker and the Rumour. (They did a cracking version of the Tramps song, 'Hold back the night') I love this song, one of my favourite odes to marijuana.

[@billsager5634]

Phil Lynott is a Dubliner, as is drummer Brian Downey. They attended the same school in Dublin, and formed Thin Lizzy together. However, Phil did spend part of his youth in English (Born in West Bromwich, lived briefly in London, Birmingham, and finally Manchester) before moving back to Dublin at age 8. Eric Bell - who was the original guitarist, was from Belfast, as was Gary Moore - who was good friends with Phil, and was in/out of Thin Lizzy 4 times. Perhaps that's what you are hearing in Phil's voice.

[@ll7868]

Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare. It's a rock opera concept album about a boy named Steven and his nightmares, written like a Broadway play with all the standard instruments you would hear in an orchestra and even has a children's choir singing background vocals. Not exactly metal but it's out there as far as experimentation and it's actually a really good album. There's been talk about doing a stage adaption but nothing yet. It has to star Alice so if they're doing it they better hurry, he's like 75 years old now.

[@davewelch377]

Thanks for sharing this great band one of my favorites. Two great guitarists one Scottish and one American, and of course Phil and Brian two Irishmen killing it on vocals, bass and drums!

[@ll7868]

Phil is from West Bromwich in England, that's where he was born, his parents split up and his mom moved to Manchester, she had two more children but gave them up for adoption. Phil went to live with his grandparents in Dublin, The Republic of Eire (South) when he was in elementary school because he was being bullied in England for being mixed race and started skipping school to avoid his abusers, the authorities threatened to take him away because of his problems at school so her parents offered to take him in. His mother continued living in England and they remained close but he was raised by his grandparents in Ireland.

[@steveshephard1158]

The Little Angels used a horn section called The Big Bad Horns both on record and on tour. Not sure they'd be considered metal these days but, they did appear on the compilation album "Marquee Metal". "Radical Your Lover" features the horns quite prominently but other songs such as "She's A Little Angel", "Too Much Too Young" and "Young Gods" just use the horns to fatten out the sound.

[@SimonLandmine]

Probably hard rock, but they were a lot of fun, so I'd give them a pass. 😀

[@FrankUnknown]

I prefer Thicc Lizzy, but Thin Lizzy is pretty good too.

[@waynecollins4391]

[@luiscorg]

If you’re curious about prog death metal including a saxophone, Rivers of Nihil will be an interesting experience

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I will do thank you so much my dude 😊

[@ericv7720]

Phil's vocal style was very jazz-influenced, where the choruses would resolve on a low note as opposed to most rock bands in the 70s, who would build up into higher registers.

[@legendodinson7082]

Personally, Thin Lizzy is my absolute favorite band. I love every album and each one is different from the one before and the one after it. So many good songs. While I never listen to the boys are back in town on it's own anymore cause it's overplayed. I never skip it on the album, and always enjoy it when it does come on. Dancing in the Moonlight has been one of my very favorites. Bothersome when you mention the name and people think it must be a cover of the top loader song.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Thanks so much for your comment my dude! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. 😊💜

[@thoin1]

At the start of this video, he's talking into the ear of John Earle. And what he said was, I have a bit of a sore throat, we've down tuned a half step. which means he had to transpose the solo on Sax on the fly. no easy thing.

[@paulkostyack7517]

[@ll7868]

Billy Connolly, I like him, he's actually a Sir due to being Knighted so you have to call him Sir William or you get beheaded or something. Anyone else watch his tv shows where he travels around on his motorcycle in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Route 66 in the USA? He's the cool uncle everyone wishes they had. My dad was a biker, he was associated with the Hell's Angels in Vancouver, BC, not a member though, he was more like the guy who filled their prescriptions...yeah, that's it, my dad was their "Doctor Rockter". It's a song by WASP off the album The Crimson Idol...I highly recommend you listen to it, all of it, it's a concept album, tells a story that weaves throughout every song. You will love Blackie's voice.

[@GordonHeaney]

Magnum, UK hard rock band, used saxophone in some of their songs

[@patrickbreen1271]

"Dancing in the Moonlight" is my favorite Thin Lizzy tune. Love the groove!

Eric bell, the original guitarist with Thin Lizzy, quit the band when he threw his guitar up in the air at a concert, walked stage leaving just Phil Lynott and Brian Downey on stage.

[@peterdoe2617]

Dear Melisa: my brother and sister in law are leaving tomorrow. HE saw 'em live (I never did). He reported, how Phil was using the spotlight, shining on him and his guitar, to reflect it back into the audience, while playing. Talking accents: when studying, my brother went to Canada for 3 months, and then straight down to Australia for another 3. Later on, back in Germany, working on his doctors degree, there was a couple from the US, working there. They where always excited, when a german guy, speaking fluent english, was pronouncing one word with a canadian accent. And the next word (in that same sentence) with an australian accent. Only one native english speaker ever stated to have problems, understanding me: my (step-) son J. (Oklahoma, US.) Noone else, ever. If in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, UK, everywhere else in the US... *sigh* Have you heard Dolly Parton going ROCK? Brandnew. World on fire. I love it! She's a legend. In my book: THIS is prooving the reason why. Bebe Rexha lately stated, that Dolly is actually collaborating with her. Have fun, looking that up.

Melisa, if you want metal featuring sax, check out the collaboration Epica did last year with the band Shining, or really just their front person Jørgen Munkeby. The song is called "The Final Lullaby". Go for the official video version, which is based on footage from their 20th anniversary show, where the song was debuted. When Epica perform this song on tour, their own singer Simone Simons does both vocal parts.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I’ll check out your recommendations thank you so much for that😊

[@eckligt]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers I came across another one after I wrote the above: Ayreon's song featuring Simone Simons and Tommy Karevik, called "Daniel's descent into Transitus Medley" (be sure to pick the Medley, at 7 minutes 23 seconds, and not the straight version which is around 2 minutes). Not necessarily sax, but some prominent brass.

[@williamweiss6128]

Huge Lizzy fan. Guitar band. Great drummer, usually followed by Massacre, in concert.

[@SimonLandmine]

The Almighty (Scottish rock/metal band) used a horn section on 'All Sussed Out'. Somewhat relevantly, the Irish lead singer, Ricky Warwick, has gone on to sing with Thin Lizzy (and sings with Black Star Riders, which is what the rest of Thin Lizzy do when they're not performing Thin LIzzy songs).

[@Lemmys_Mole]

Riot - On your Knees, some classic horn sections in that, I kid you not.

Metal bands that feature un-metal instruments? Oh, I got your band, Feuerschwanz. They're a German Folk Metal band, they have a violinist, a flutist, they use weird stuff like a hurdy-gurdy and the jaw harp as well as actual harps, bagpipes, cellos, you'll get all kinds of sounds you've never heard from a metal band. Try their cover of SEEED's "Ding" or Manowar's "Warriors Of The World" they feature the amazingly talented and drop dead gorgeous Melissa Bonny, the vocalist of Ad Infinitum.

[@ll7868]

Ding is the better choice, Melissa does gutterals.

[@PostMortalForm]

There’s a progressive technical death metal band called Fractal Universe, their singer plays sax and sometimes throws random sax solos into their songs. Check out “A Clockwork Expectation” if you want a good example, you might have fun reacting to the vocals on that one too. It’s interesting that you like the northern irish accent, as a norn iron local myself, I’ve always rather enjoyed the sound of the scottish accent!

The punk-metal or perhaps Oi!-ska-metal band Snuff from North London feature a trombone. Guitar, bass, drums, Hammond organ and trombone. Snuff are great, but tend to sound a bit fuzzy and blarey which may not be the best for sound editing, but you should give them a try anyway. Anything off the album DemmaMussaBeBonk is great (Flibbiddydibbidydob and Blue Gravy: Phase 9 are also ace) but my favourite is Horse and Cart, which is relatively easy to follow the lyrics, at least on the album version.

[@christerfurberg6538]

You're pronouncing Lynott correctly! Generally, Thin Lizzy are very underrated IMO. Another song of theirs that you might enjoy is Black Rose, which is rockier (even though it's in 7/4!) with some Irish folk tunes thrown into an instrumental section.

[@feistyferret7299]

For sax in metal check out "Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name". It's not the entire songs but there's a sax solo and its amazing. :>

Metal bands that use brass? Avenged Sevenfold to great effect on their recent albums; Great sax solo on Tesseract's Cabali Yau; Opeth use wind instruments, flute mostly (probably doesn't count); and although Steven Wilson is considered prog, whether it be in his solo work or with Porcupine Tree, there's some brass in there too. That's off the top of my head. Probably loads more. BTW, why would the requester of this song think people would hate it? It's a classic!

[@garystanford3921]

To answer the question about brass in metal I was once in a small shop that had some metal music playing in the background. In place of the usual lead guitar there was an awesome trumpet solo. To this day I wish I'd asked the guy in the shop who it was. So yes there is a trumpet in metal but I don't know who it is.

I LOVE THIN LIZZY!!! Sadly, in the US most people only know them for a couple of songs. But they have an amazing catalog of great songs. If you want to hear the heavier side of Thin Lizzy, check out a song called Angel Of Death. The British band UFO is not heavy metal, I would consider them more hard rock. They had a keyboard player in the 80s who was also a saxophone player. Check out their song called Lonely Heart. There’s some pretty cool saxophone in that song. But also check out some of the classic 1970’s UFO also. Great reaction as usual Melisa. Keep it coming. 🙂

Thank you for these Alex, another little rabbit hole to go down 😊

For a band playing good music and using instruments from an orchestra, I would check out Streetlight Manifesto. They have a live video on youtube playing the song We Will Fall Together. I promise you that it is fantastic for my ears :)

Oh, what a great surprise! A reaction to our dude and legendary bass player Phil Lynott (R.I.P.). Love it. Oh, and I actually am quite sure I have seen a live video of Sunn O))) (yeah, that's the name of the band) with a trombone on stage. You asked for brass in metal, well... So I am pretty sure it exists. If I am wrong, please correct me, anyone. Sunn O))) is active in quite an extreme metal subgenre, drone doom. (You don't need drums for it. It is literally too slow to justify the usage of rhythm instruments. LOL) It is definitely not for everyone, but as a musician, I can only say: Watch a live video of them once in life. Probably NOT suitable for your channel. Probably too boring and you take the risk of falling asleep while editing your reaction. But for private experience. It redefines the idea of rhythm and tempo in metal. They are not the only ones doing this, there are bands that have songs of over an hour of playing time. I listened to some psychedelic and drone doom bands for a while, especially Queen Elephantine (exotic, psychedelic, drone doom), for a while. I was in a heavy rock / heavy metal band in the 90s and we had one song with a sax, because our vocalist could play it and we gave him a sexyphone solo in the set list. It was always fun. So, brass in metal exists for sure. I A.D.D. sidetracked. Phil Lynott was quite popular among the bass players in heavy bands of the 80s and 90s that I met. For a reason. First, he was a good bass player. His bass lines are very well written and he was a good performer, too. Second, he was a good vocalist. Third, he was a good entertainer. Lastly, he was an Irishman, everybody knows they know how to make music and they know how to drink. Enough to become legendary. I did not know that the statue in Dublin is so tall! Or is it you being so short, Melisa? However, this was a nice and unexpected video, and I wish you a great end of the week. 🍻❤ PS: I totally forgot: There is brass in the Periphery recommendation of mine: "Wildfire" from this year. I still poke you about them. I know you reacted to two full albums on your hubbies channel, but "Wildfire" really is a masterpiece, even for Periphery's high standards.

A wonderful introduction to brass in sax and the way your brain works Martin! I like the sound of this drone doom stuff! I love a good drone, although I would certainly be at risk of a nap because I find them so soothing. But Ill check out some of these wonderful band names :P Yeah I think Rikard was a little worried this wouldn’t be metal enough for folks but I think its probably one of those bands that’s just universally liked. I am alas 5 foot 3, so I am pretty short but this is a big statue :P Lovely to see you pop up again my dude! I hope you have an amazing weekend 🥰❤️

[@imcrazedandconfused]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers Haha, so you are pretty exactly one foot smaller than me! Guys, you seriously should come over to the light side of the force, where the metric system rules. Although I studied physics and am pretty aware of most imperial units, I still am so unsure that I google that stuff each time again, LOL. You have your own money in Scotland, and AFAIK the metric system coexists somehow in the meantime, but you should really make the effort to get away from his majesty's crude measurements... ;-) As of how my brain works, when it comes to things like depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety stuff and psychotic moments, drug-free, I tend to not like the way my brain works, but hey, there is still intelligence, creativity and emotional extremes that I most probably would not trade for anything, hahahaha. Yeah, let's see how amazing this weekend can get. (For Queen Elephantine I recommend 'Kabir' as a first listening...) These bands I mentioned were my connection to metal when I was deeply into Trip Hop (esp. Massive Attack). ... I had some strange musical habits for a while. 😀 The extreme stuff opened me up again for stuff like stoner rock and modern doom metal, though. I think it is all about different perspectives that musicians should get. You can 'forget' them later on, and probably at some point in time you make your own stuff that hopefully has an original touch. I mean, when I started, the best and most advanced original music came from the places that were very far from the culturally overdosed metropoles, with very little influence and interaction with trendy stuff. And nowadays, we have everything everywhere and all at once ... and an overkill of music that leads to phenomena like 9,857 bands that sound exactly like Periphery and 2,684 bands that sound like Polyphia, and they all claim to be musically authentic and original, although most of them just want to impress women (some things never change). LOL. So, IMHO, we should forget about genre definitions and taboos and come back to music itself. I think that esp. in metal, the sub-genre definitions and discussions are the academic nitpicking of non-academics, most of the time, with terms invented by music journalists who wanted to be music inventors but were not... Phew. Another monologue found a sudden end because coffee is ready. ☕ Oh, and I have quite a lot of fun with how your brain works, too. Pretty obvious, huh? 😀

[@simonmcglary]

That was Brian Robertson stage right. A Scot!

[@simonmcglary]

Meant to add, if you want to hear a Scottish accent you want The Sensational Alex Harvey Band!

[@docsmellyfella]

Rocket From The Crypt have a full horn section but more punk/psychobilly.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

You had me at Psychobilly! 😊

[@charliestory2143]

🥰

[@sVieira151]

If you like Tom Waits, I feel like you should give Major Parkinson a listen. Very interesting band. I'd suggest Heart of Hickory, Impermanence, or Isabel: A Report to the Academy.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Nice! Thank you, Ill check it out! :)

[@wompa70]
