See: For Those Who Love to Live, The Hero and the Madman, Freedom Song, Bad Reputation, Wild One, Things Ain’t Working Out Down at the Farm and countless others. You’ll hear rock, soul, pop, romance, brilliance. Each year Phil Lynott is celebrated on the anniversary of his death with the “Vibe for Philo” in Dublin featuring Lizzy tribute bands, poets, fans, and even a play (for the 33rd on 2019).

If you ever decide to react to another Thin Lizzy song in the future, I recommend “Got to Give it Up” off of Black Rose.

Thin Lizzy are gods. Emerald is a classic. Phil Lynnot was a groundbreaking musician and human being. He was Black and Irish in the 1970s and inspired by 1950s rock n roll. The fact he had success in that era was amazing and down to talent and attitude. Most of lizzy's back catalog is classic rock royalty. "Black Rose" is more of the same about Irish history and mythology (and has a truly amazing solo). Honestly, Lizzy are one of the most important bands in rock history. So many songs to choose from...

Thin Lizzy helped popularize the twin/dual guitar attack. One of the first groups to have that in hard rock. Metallica cite them as an early influence, especially on their late bassist Cliff Burton. And those dual harmony lead solos. Emerald, the song about the Emerald isle/Ireland, also does not feature an actual chorus. The breakdown between verses could be a chorus, except it's entirely instrumental. That could be why it did not appeal to you the first time around. No catchy chorus to sing along with.☺ I love this song. Good song to drive fast to. Phil Lynott was the original bass player and Lizzy's lead vocalist. He's mixed race. His mother is white. His father was a gentleman of color. Phil died in 1985. Originally it was suspected it might have been a heroin overdose. But apparently his death was from complications from sepsis and pneumonia. As someone else noted.

I've been recommending this one for a while. I think what you guys are "missing" here is the tremendous, dual, melodic lead guitar playing. Back in '76, almost nobody was doing this. The paradigm back then was rhythmic riffs followed by improvised (typically blues-based) soloing, and that includes Zeppelin, Sabbath, Purple, AC/DC, etc. Two bands were really responsible for bringing dual, harmonized, melodic guitar leads to the forefront: Judas Priest and Thin Lizzy. Both were an immense influence on the next generation of metal bands, including Iron Maiden and Metallica. Emerald is really the best showcase for that side of Thin Lizzy. Thin Lizzy covered a lot of ground in their career, and this is only one "side" of them. The Boys are Back in Town was their biggest hit (still played on classic rock radio). Whiskey in the Jar and Jailbreak were also considerable hits (the former's an Irish folk tune cover). They did some proto-80s metal stuff like Cold Sweat, some R&B grooves like Dancing in the Moonlight, and some great straight-up rock stuff like The Rocker and Don't Believe a Word; sweet, smooth blues like Still in Love With You (best heard live), beautiful ballads like Little Girl in Bloom. A truly great and versatile band.

Rick Henderson I came here to say all of this! Also, Emerald is my favorite of their songs. Another aspect y’all may not have picked up on is that the solo is an interplay of the two guitarists, a sort of call and response. Another great song is Massacre, and Southbound is amazing! And, I agree, the best way to hear Still in Love with You is on Live and Dangerous. I’m disappointed y’all weren’t struck by the ferocity of The Emerald, but there’s a lot more out there to enjoy by this seminal band.

Hey Lads at Lost in vegas, hope you see this comment, it’s the first i’ve ever commented on a video in 10 years so; I’m telling this how it is and hope it comes across the way I want it to (Recommened songs later in the comment). First off I want to thank you immensely for bringing my favourite band in the world into the spotlight that the world has either never heard of or have forgotten. Thin Lizzy is the best ever band to come out of the whole of Ireland North or South, which were lost and forgotten (not even most people over here remember them anymore because of all the pop music from the world took over). Their singer and bassist Philip Paris Lynott was a Black Irish man born in 1949, Ireland had never seen anything like this before. And this is where your irish history comes into play, basically it was very tough growing up over here between wars, troubles etc. Phil believed in equality and contributed i’d say to 60% of the reason that Ireland is now equal in the fact that everybody is now accepted black or white ( There were a lot of assholes over here and still are that care what race you are or if you are protestant or Catholic, Phil is a hero). For a first in Irish history this legendary man and his band would soar to the top because of how amazingly talented they were as musicians and Phil’s charm towards the crowds and fans on the street (his care of people no matter what you were) he really got the crowd going. He was a brilliant storyteller. They were the only band who could do anything (Irish folk songs, love songs, really heavy metal songs, fast or slow songs, drum solos, guitar solos, harmonising all while telling a deep story and rhyming). For Ireland music was all local playing in bars and word of mouth and the most common music at the time was just old irish folk lore songs so for them to make it big was phenomenal, he even has a bronze statue erected in his memory in the capital Dublin which was a first. And now for a handful of their songs in a variety of genres: Are you ready, Massacre, Suicide, Angel of Death, Sarah, black rose, bad reputation, waiting for an alibi, Johnny, fools gold, chinatown, cold sweat, sugar blues, sha la la(best drum solo ever), opium trail, for those who love to live(about the footballer who died called George Best) theres so many I couldn’t list. The ones they’re famous for are good songs but not the best of thin lizzy; the boys are back in town, jailbreak, running back, whiskey in the jar, dancing in the moonlight and the cowboy song. If you’ve read to this point I thank you with my heart and keep up the good work guys!

Thin Lizzy are more important than a lot of people - even hard rock/heavy metal fans - realize. Influential to bands like Iron Maiden, etc. I don't think a lot of your subscribers/followers think very hard when making suggested trakes to introduce you to bands. I love this song, but it's not a good introduction. Kind of like starting out listening to "Dogman" by King's X - great song if you "get" the band, but not the best place to begin. Here's a few Lizzy suggestions: "The Rocker," "Still in Love With You," "Suicide," "Jailbreak," "Don't Believe a Word," "Massacre," "Bad Reputation," "Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight)," "Waiting For An Alibi," "Got To Give It Up," "Chinatown," "Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo)," "Hollywood (Down On Your Luck)," "Fats," and any of the first five songs from Thunder and Lightning: ""Thunder and Lightning," "This Is the One," "The Sun Goes Down," "The Holy War," and/or "Cold Sweat." Man, I'm going to go listen to that album right now...see ya! Long Live Phil Lynott! ;)

Thin Lizzy aren't THAT underrated, in the scheme of things. They are regarded as one of the best and most popular early heavy-metal style hard rock outfits of the seventies. Maybe they're considered second tier when they should be first.They're not quite as widely lauded as they might deserve but at least they are famous in broader circles than most. I'm saying this as an Irish person tho, so maybe my sense of their fame is entirely overblown from exposure to Irish radio. Still, i feel that they have at least 2 hugely famous songs, Boys are back in Town, and Whiskey in the Jar. Compare their fame to, let's say that of Budgie; from just across the water in Wales. They've been forgotten, for the most part, but at their peak were a magical trio whose talent made comparisons to Rush fairly reasonable, and not just because the singer-bassist was a gangly bespectacled Ramone-looking mofo.

But they are a favorite of mine,my brother's and many others. Roisin Dubh, title track , Johnny the Fox, Bad Reputation, . On the jailbreak album, The Cowboy Song, The Warrior, Romeo and the Lonely girl. He was steeped in the poetry of his country, a mix of hero and cad. Died way too young from drug use.

EMERALD is the song that made me first want to learn and play the guitar and is in my top 5 songs of all time. Phil Lynott the singer, bass player and founding member of Thin Lizzy was born in England but raised in Dublin Ireland, his mother was Irish and his father was Guyana/Guiana (British Guiana). Lynott was so loved and respected that after his death a life sized statue was erected in the center of Dublin Ireland to honor him. Jailbreak is the quintessential Thin Lizzy album, beside Emerald this album included hits like the title track Jailbreak, Warriors the awesome Cowboy Song and of course their biggest hit The Boys Are Back In Town which is still a Staple on every Classic and Rock station in America. Thin Lizzy set the benchmark for the Dual Lead Guitar Rock bands, bands that followed and were influenced by Thin Lizzy include Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Megadeth just to name a few. If you want to hear a really album with great songs from a band that only made 2 albums check out RAM JAM, their self titled first album is filled with great 70s rock songs. It's one of those albums (CDs) that you put on when you're on a long road trip, songs like Black Betty, High Steppin, Right on the Money. Better yet is their 1990 compilation album The Very Best of Ram Jam. Another AWESOME 70s band you need to check out is UFO, to get the best of them listen to the The Best of UFO: Gold Collection album..... freaking AWESOME. If you like the Blues especially Texas Blues and want to hear the guitarist Jimi Hendrix said was the best he's seen (Billy Gibbons) listen to EARLY ZZ Top albums Rio Grande Mud, Tres Hombres or Tejas, songs like Master of Sparks, El Diablo, Move Me on Down the Line, Francine, Just Got Paid, Goin' Down to Mexico. You can't get any better!!!

Thin Lizzy is a great band, most popular songs are Jailbreak, The Boys Are Back In Town, Whiskey In The Jar (Which Metallica did a cover version) Phil Lynott (Rest In Peace) was their vocalist bass player and main songwriter, Thin Lizzy had 2 great guitarists in Gary Moore (Rest In Peace) and John Sykes known as a member of Tygers Of Pan Tang and Whitesnake. He died from pneumonia in 1986. He had another hit with his former Thin Lizzy bandmate Gary Moore called Out In The Fields recorded in 1984. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Lynott Songs I would personally recommend are Cold Sweat Thunder And Lightning and Angel Of Death to react to, much better songs in my opinion.

Worship of Moore and Sykes is understandable. But the era of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham is the one that put TL on the map. Nothing that Moore or Sykes brought to the table can eclipse that Jailbreak album or the Live and Dangerous album. Those were the highpoint of TL without question. That being said, the LiL guys had the right album, just the wrong song. Although Phil's death was recorded as being due to pneumonia and heart failure. In reality he suffered from an addiction to heroin which caused his health issues and was transported to drug dependency center before being taken to a hospital. His addiction to heroin is well documented. RIP

Thin Lizzy is special in the fact that they became known as one of the first bands to really put an emphasis on twin guitar harmonies and "tag team" solos. Most Lizzy fans consider Phil Lynott (lead singer/bassist) as a master songwriter and somewhat of a poet. They're one of those bands that have some mighty fine hits but their best tracks are the deep cuts. They were a major influence to a lot of rock/metal bands, Metallica in particular (especially Cliff Burton). You can hear Thin Lizzy's inspiration in old school Metallica tracks like Orion, which is a Cliff Burton tour de force.

Thin Lizzy is one of the most underrated and yet most important bands ever. Very influential. Phil Lynott was a damn great singer. In his youth the was in a Blues band together with Gary Moore - Skid Row. Not the "18 and life" Skid Row, although they are named after that earlier band. Gary Moore has joined Thin Lizzy for multiple short stints, the longest one shortly before he embarked on his solo career. It was glorious nonetheless. A few great guitar players have played in Thin Lizzy over the years, like Moore, Vivian Campbell and John Sykes. There even is a successor, although only is one actual Thin Lizzy member left, named Blackstar Riders. I saw them live as support for Judas Priest last year. Not a band you need to see. Phil and Gary were close friends and they collaborated multiple times outside of Thin Lizzy. "Out in the fields" was a great one. After Phil had passed away he wrote a few songs that were dedicated to him or mentioned him. One is even called "Blood of Emeralds". The war they're singing about is "The Troubles" - the civil war in Ireland. They were Irish, just like Gary Moore and the constant civil war was pretty formative on all of them and they sang about it, partly in order to cope with the experience. As for Thin Lizzy, one song to listen to would be "Cold sweat". In this song Phil sings about his fight with addiction. Something that would lead to his death. The song was on their final studio album, Thunder and Lightning.
@thorwulfx15 жыл бұрын
Thin Lizzy influenced a ton of bands to come, not the least of which was the mighty Metallica. With the bulk of their early catalog, the best versions are on a live album "Live and Dangerous". I personally love Phil's voice, and think he was underrated as a bass player. The interesting thing with Lizzy is that they would write everything from quite mellow stuff, all the way to songs that flirted with being heavy metal, with some groovy stuff mixed in.

But their songwriting was comparatively weak and unfortunately the memory of Lynott and Moore is fading...

Thin Lizzy was writing and playing 80s rock in the 70s. Seriously. If Phil Lynot hadn't passed away, they would have huuge in the 80s. Changes in recording equipment and techniques in the 80s would have worked so well with their style. They had the sound, just not the equipment and new methods of studio work. Phil's voice was commanding as it was, but with 80s vocal enhancements , multitracking and layering, wow.

Thin Lizzy are an Irish band, fronted by a black Irish singer/bassist called Phil Lynott. He is a legend in Ireland and one of the first black Irish artists around. His accent as you pointed out is a Dublin city accent. A statue of Phil stands outside one of Dublins biggest rock bars. This song follows the same harmonys found in a traditional Irish tune. The best version of this tune is the live version performed on the "Live and Dangerous" album. Phil is culturally significant as he is considered the first black Irish artist to make it. In the 70's, Ireland was almost all white. Today 15% of the population of Ireland are immigrants and it's no longer uncommon to have a non white Irish artist. Phil was the first and is still considered the best. Rest in peace Phil, you absolute legend!

They started and continued as a pub/glam rock band, but like other names from that music scene, sometimes their songs show the heavy metal influences or schooling, like this one: you can hear the typical weaving guitar chords which many (new wave of british) heavy metal bands used to play some years later. Phil Lynott, the bassist and lead singer, also collaborated with some punk rock and new wave bands, like Sex Pistols, Damned and Boomtown Rats.
