Brian is a God among men!! Thin Lizzy's music will never die, and Brian provided the heartbeat that gave it life! GOD BLESS BRIAN DOWNEY!

Seen Brian play twice in 1973 again in 1975 when i had the pleasure to meet him and the band after the show in there dressing room. Saw him again in 1976. Other people can say or think what they like, all i know he has been and is one of the great drummers of rock.

[@drumthwacker]

What's amazing is not that he can play like that now, but that he could play like that when he was in his teens "

[@jimmurphy834]

No Hi Hat, Double Bass, are you taking notes? Mr Downey was, is and will always be one of the masters of his craft. Thank you Sir.

[@12groney]

Most amazing drummer of all time and at what age he still plays like this! God Bless!

[@allanpope2625]

Doing the Sha la la solo. Brilliant.

[@grobbler1]

Always felt that Brian and Ian Paice were very similar.

[@alanfletcher9698]

Took a while to Warm up but once he got going still as fast as hell Brian Downey on drums bless

[@paulveach2748]

Brian Downey has not lost a thing as he aged.... As the matter of fact, the fruit has only rippened to perfection....

[@edsreturn2012]

a true great. Love his style.

[@TheSteelblister]

Thin Lizzy...the most unrewarded band ever...

[@amtproductions3350]

@edgroove7 ...... Hi and thanks for your comment...... I met Brian a few times actually had a drink with him and Philip.... I still can't figure out what he plays on the track Chinatown and I'v seen so many drummers mess this up in cover bands.

[@zymelo]

Ça fait 20 ans que j'adore. C'est lui et thin lizzy qui m'ont fait aimer la batterie

[@Vonhelton588-jx]

A band is only as good as it's drummer. And this proves it.

[@rolfingerbier]

Geil. Solche Menschen dürfen eigentlich nie sterben. Genial!

[@sullivan912]

Rumour has it that Larry Mullen is actually a product of Roland and is actually better known as the LM808.

[@Sjsmitty]

Jesus, Mary and all of their carpenter friends!

[@ciarancosgrave9584]

IMHO Brian was better than the names usually mentioned in the same sentence as the words "best ever drummer". Ye know, Bonzo, Dave Grohl, Neal Peart, Larry Mullen Jr. (ha ha! Only joking about Larry). These guys are/were all amazing but I still reckon that Brian, at the height of his powers, was better than them all. It always amazes me that he is never talked about as one of the greats.

Where is the gong?

[@pg080968]

Brian Downey, un batteur exceptionnel mal connu, c'est bien dommage car c'est un sacré performer. Il suffit d'écouter ses partitions avec Thin Lizzy...

[@TheOrgasmatronn]

yeah but peart is still pretty awesome.

[@paulmonkcom]

Legend...
