Thin Lizzy - Holy War

Live at the Regal Theatre Hitchin, 1983.

[@chrgod]

simply one of the greatest hard rock bands ever. Phil was a one-off..... genius

[@AnthonyMoitzger-nw1id]

Amen

[@howardmetal]

Thin Lizzy should be in the Hall of Fame

[@christopherirving4558]

I'm a black guy that's a HUUUUGE FAN OF THIN LIZZY!💯💯💯🤟🏾

[@bashermansir]

Thin Lizzy is by far the best band ever. A great band cut short

[@yafmaverick]

They have influenced so heavy and thrash bands coming to the 80s. I miss the times when I wasn't alive.

[@WarthDader74]

This is an incredible good song!!! One of the very best rock songs I've ever heard! Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy will never be forgotten.

[@martintramil8084]

Never forgotten, always in my Heart!

[@arihakkarainen837]

This and Wild One are Lizzys Best Songs imo!

[@marcuslorentzon3096]

I agree 100%!

[@Ogilla]

Thin Lizzy is soooo underrated. Pioneer of Hard Rock, huge range of diversity in their style, just look at this song, it's more like Heavy Metal, but they can still make rock songs closer to ballads like Dancing in the Moonlight (it's caught me in the spotlight). It's sad to see alot of band didn't got the fame they should have and some got overrated... How can disco rock bands like Kiss get famous and real musicians and composers lie in the shadows of commercial stuff?

[@clwilu94]

Brian Downey is a great drummer.This band is unreal

[@user-qx2yd7rs1q]

Before 1970 and after 1990....never and never again in human history Long live the Rock

[@TerrilynndeGuitar]

Scott Gorham is like that one awesome friend that sticks with you till the end.

[@chrismcgrinder2830]

GuitarMaven going to see him tonight in Belfast can't wait

[@ras4863]

old school rock........one of a kind. miss those good old days of arena rock,boston,BOC,nazareth,ac/dc,foghat,thin lizzy..too many to name. ROCK ON!!!!!!

[@AirGuitarChampion]

his bass guitar rocks SO MUCH

[@dannymcmince]

Sykes is a rock star!

[@oldmanarockin]

this is one of the best and uderestimated rock songs lizzy ever performed. no rock band then or today wrote or writes lyrics like this with such great musicians. just listen to phils bass playing, brians druming and scot and gary's guitar playing.. this song has got the lot.

[@nj527]

It's John Sykes on guitar not Gary.It's a warm up show for what was the Thunder and Lightning Tour 1983.

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Thin Lizzy was a great part of my childhood. My father is a roadie, and he introduced me to rock & metal from birth. My mother was a big fan of Thin Lizzy, and she bought me a VHS tape with this concert, and one with Sidney '79! I watched those tapes every day through my younger days, and Phil Lynott, Gary Moore & Scott Gorham became heroes to me. I grew up with the sounds of Thin Lizzy, Dire Straits, Iron Maiden, Marillion, Europe, Dio, Hendrix, Helloween, W.A.S.P & Scorpions, and to this day, those bands make the foundation stone of my musical taste. I will forever be grateful for my parent's musical influence, because without it, I wouldn't be sitting here, listening to this fantastic tune by Thin Lizzy. Iwould probably just listen to Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift. We all miss you Phil, and I just hope that you are up there. Jamming with Gary Moore, Jimmy Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, Cliff Burton, Ronnie James Dio, Clive Burr, Lemmy Killmister, Ingo Schwichtenberg and all the others we have lost✨

[@roadhound101]

+Mickey Holm Justin Bieber!!.....JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!!.........Now Go wash your mouth out and say 10 Hail mary's!!!!! LOL

[@FJFerra]

+Paul Mitchell 10 Hail Lemmy's !! you mean

[@dezgra5556]

Bless your Mom.

[@seancahill3219]

Dime and Vinny, later era same passion in their music

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

I saw a compliment that Uriah Heep sounded somewhat like Thin Lizzy so I decided to try the Thin one out & Uriah Heep are far better imo I call this style of band pop-metal lol

[@harkiolakiscinthia5767]

JHON SYKES "the gold fingers" THIN LIZZY Never Forget PLEASE !!!

[@OFFICIALFULLDUPLEX]

Thin Lizzy changed my life!

[@2pierun]

me too, I got me in to guitar playing!

[@MoreAgro]

Dublin an proud!!! Phil was an still is a hero for me!!!!!!!!! Prob as good as anyone that graced the music business!!!!!!!

[@TheBatshy]

The sun went down as the Black rose died!!! U´ll never be forgotten Phil............

[@davidlowe4741]

Just watched it again...the BEST. God bless you, god rest your soul, big man 🙏

[@SilverWingsOfMorning]

1. Crank this song 2. Put the volume to 11 3. Do a bongload 4. repeat 5. Thin Lizzy rocks! 6. Phil Lynott rocks in heaven

[@RIPNTEAR68]

We Are One. Phil Lynott is the coolest, most passionate hard rock and blues artist. Lyrics so heartfelt, evocative, profoundly spiritual. I think of him as my older brother.

[@ketelbinkie44]

+RIPNTEAR68 you forgotten bon scot

[@cekone1606]

Great Song. Great Phil (R.I.P) Johnny & Scott. Forever Thin Lizzy. Cek from Italy

[@nokke1234]

Thin Lizzy no one above or beside, they where the best, way back when i was young and a rebel.

[@piccolina721]

Make no mistake >>>>>>>> This is the first Irish rock band with world-wide recognition !!

[@thinsnake]

Love this man, this band. If God is in Heaven then why is he not here now? Still Out Here!!!

[@enasallaleon7496]

Never there was a band with so many awesome songs

[@havingagoodtime6687]

I just started listening to Thin Lizzy yesterday and can't get over how amazing they are! I've heard their radio hits and those are good but I never got any deeper than that. Instantly I recognized the main riff of this song as being similar to "creeping death" I love how their music varies across different genres. I can definitely hear some similarities in their sound in bands that came after them.

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

I started listening to them today because I saw a compliment that Uriah Heep sounded somewhat like Thin Lizzy so I decided to try the Thin one out & Uriah Heep are far better imo I call this style of band pop-metal lol

[@thinsnake]

You are up there creating a Holy War. Love this song. You had so much more to do. WE all lost out. The reason God built a stage.......Will never make sense of your passing. Still Out Here!!!

[@jarilindroos8831]

My god. I have forgotten this one! Go back to my LP albums i have now too..

[@chrls7Cantona]

Thin Lizzy one of the greatest classic rock band of all time...

[@xiayexin]

I have been a fan since my conversion in '82. What I am amazed at is how many fans they STILL have. It is not as if they were one of the superbands like the Stones or the Beatles but from the present day fervor you wouldn 't know the difference.

[@scottyj.2561]

This is damn good THIN LIZZY! I remember listening to these guys at a very young age. They definitely had early influence on me... #HOLY WAR

[@xritaly]

I cannot find defects on this band. Awesome musicians, excellent lyrics, excellent vocal, great frontman, superb live skills.

[@wesleyfelix611]

i agree

[@arnoburtner380]

simply the best band ever

[@espofra]

R.I.P. Phil, Gary is no on your side, let's rock again together... You are the best, forever

[@amsedelm]

This is the song I heard that got me into this band. i haven't heard this in at least 25 years. The beat is amazing.

[@dannymcmince]

I from Donegal, I met the great man in 1985, great memories!

[@mtnmusicman3]

Played this song in an 90's band....What a rocker!!! People loved it!!1

[@Ratchetftw]

never realized how great these guys were till recently, they were badass

[@davebarnes9187]

What a great piece of work. I was lucky enough to go to both the Feb and March 83 Thunder and Lighening concerts at the Brum Odeon. Class act even then. RIP Phil.

[@Soul4Eleven]

I cant hear you over the sound of their awesomeness. You will forever be missed Phil.

[@MusicMan_1988]

Way ahead of their time! Anybody who got to see them perform is so lucky.

[@StyrbjornStarke]

Best fucking rock band in history, music like this will never be made again :(

[@1234muscail]

Lizzy such a badass amazing band with good hearts & soul. Finest Irish band in history. Some session in heavan at the moment with Phil, Gary, Jimi and all the other greats. R.I.P lads Eire is proud of you!! :-)

[@FlashframeFilms]

Phil & Gary are kick'n it again upstairs. Lizzy 4 Ever!

[@TheMusselClaw]

A poet of Rock and Roll, kicking and fingerpicking through the lines of life and strings.

[@strapfaceharry]

I'm a drummer/vocalist since i was 14 yrs.old. I'm now 59 n still lay it down n my bands back in the day we played some Thin Lizzy. Man this is a great tune with great energy through out my friends. It just never let u down it's a tune that u want to go on n on. That does not alway's happen!!!!!!!!

[@StyrbjornStarke]

We are chosen We are one We are frightened of no one And no one wins the war This is the way This is the law

[@hafeezaasghar8482]

John sykes is the ultimate guitar beast on this planet

[@Thirdfish]

Philo - RIP. You once stood on my hand (monitor), and graciously apologised - nice one!!!

[@gladiator22666]

Fantastic song from a fantastic album 🤘👍

[@Danfrombackhome]

Theres a lot Id do with a time machine but one thing for sure is to make sure I saw thin lizzy. I was born in april of 86 so I never had a chance to see the greatness. RIP Phil! Legend

[@SalDOWN]

+Danfrombackhome Same here, mate! Thin Lizzy and Nirvana!

[@arnoburtner380]

nerdvana comparing to Thin Lizzy... are you ok bro?

[@SalDOWN]

Arno Burtner lol, you can't even write the name properly and you are asking me I am ok?

[@arnoburtner380]

and you can't even recognize sarcasm.. idiot

[@SalDOWN]

Arno Burtner Well done, sir!

[@trevorthompson7604]

I miss Philip and thin Lizzy every day this is great

[@suoklee736]

Sykes and Moore. the missing Lizzy duo.

[@2war2bray]

This is just wonderful. There wasn't a better band from Britain than this. Phil Lynott was one of the supreme front men in rock, great voice, presence and a fine musician to boot. All brilliant musicians and Gary Moore on guitar - wow..

[@oystercultviking]

Most utterly amazing band on earth. Lynott's got a voice that'd make angels cry. :')

[@LoganStegall]

So much power and soul. Johns solo reminds you in the beginning how its not all about speed, its about tone and soul, although he reminds you in the end how a little speed doesnt hurt. Thin Lizzy, you're amazing sound will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Phill Lynnot, and although hes not in this video, R.I.P. Gary Moore, you were talent in its rawest form, thankyou for all you've done.

[@shion7526]

No words for this time of music , God bless Thin Lzzy and Phill

[@kelvinnoden4482]

Thunder and Lightening still pounds out in my car great great album from an astonishing band.

[@rayrancourt5888]

Kelvin Noden great record but its recording production was terrible.

[@DomVendetta]

+ray rancourt It must have been digitally remastered then because my CD sounds fricken awesome. Not like the production sounded on Metallicas kill em all.

[@moralescrk9281]

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is music!!!!

[@123childcare]

this must have been nice to see living back in the day.................this is an good example of good ass rock n roll jammers..........never heard of these guys until now..........

[@ntrnate]

this band is so upbeat and there from the 80s thats badass

[@seantruscott4656]

Awesome bass by Phil!

[@markofrommars]

How good is it ! My tears are falling... Miss you Phil.

[@xiayexin]

unfortunately he passed away more than twenty years ago geez, how time flies he is sorely missed

[@mercenary161]

No one does it better then Phil and the boys, long live Thin Lizzy.

[@rallyivan1234]

John Sykes was given a unique sound to Thin Lizzy, as it has given Whitesnake

[@thinsnake]

My hero. Thank you for your magic and inspiration. Seen ur statue in Dublin. Eternally Out Here. Had the honour of seeing you live and it lives with me forever. The reason God built a stage... you had so much more to do. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and protect all that is precious to you xxxx

[@thatflyguy8387]

Yesterdays bands sounded better on stage than the albums. Todays bands sound good on an album, but can't replicate it on stage.

[@thefonzkiss]

Today's bands suck on album as well.

[@TenTen32]

too much electronic and computer trickory in modern recording studios that cant be replicated live on stage. Bands like Lizzy played live in the studio and recorded it on tape so the sound you heard on your vinyl album was authentic and sounded exactly same on stage

[@christianeidsmoe4772]

today's a bunch of talentless idiots

[@pamisterios]

Dream theater do it

[@erradate6425]

yow wtf, always been bands shitting up live and bands doing great live, no matter the time. Just check gojira's latest lives if you are the kind of guy to think everything sucks in music now.

[@LucyLuNo7]

I love this band more than life itself! Thank God I have a father who knows his music and got me into this super group. Phil Lynott's passing was such a tragedy and it's great to see that people still, or are even just beginning to appreciate them. My advice is to go and see the tribute Limehouse Lizzy, they are amazing!

[@tedbrookhouse9395]

I have been a big fan of Thin Lizzy since the 70's! 🎤🎸

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

I saw a compliment that Uriah Heep sounded somewhat like Thin Lizzy so I decided to try the Thin one out & Uriah Heep are far better imo I call this style of band pop-metal lol

[@glen7]

bad ass song, the close up of the keyboardest is uncalled for.

[@blacksabfan]

I like Lynott's shoes...old school Chuck Taylor's...just awesome.

[@YiannosG]

3 years after this video, Phil Lynott would be dead, the keyboardist would form the quite successful Dare, and John Sykes would write the music to the ultra-successful album "1987" for Whitesnake.

[@cali4tune]

powerful song. what a freaking great album!

[@theblindoc]

One of my all time favourite songs!

[@Curasy]

I think their true value was performing life on stage!!! great song!

[@wilde4945]

Music for the ages! A great Irish gift to rock and roll ... MY VERY FAVORITES!

[@TheLizzyLady]

It was from his rock and roll lifestyle(Drugs&drink) just took its toll in the end ! In the end he was taken into hosptial with a pneumonia then died a week or two later he was very sick but it was unexpected ! R.I.P Philo your terribly missed ! YOu will never be forgotten ! xxx

[@georgiospanagiotinos8212]

Fantastic band.

[@MrManmountainrock]

phil lynott and gary moore two icons whose music will live forever and never die

[@CelticSaint]

Goosebumps every time I hear Lizzy.

[@SteeleHard]

One of my fave Thin Lizzy´s song, simply stunning!

[@globalsacrifice5248]

They were ahead of their time.

[@ricksuegreen1753]

Dangerously epic. My god can imagine some battle scenes from olden times to this track.

[@presleyslave]

So tight. Phil’s lyrics astounding as always. Love it.

[@Glennfaw]

"...if God is in the heavens, why does God let children die?" Phil and Lizzy, under-rated? Not by me and every other metalhead I know! Phil was my idol. Fantastic live performance of a brilliant song. 20 years on and if anything it's even more relevant today. Thanks a million for putting this up.

[@Hoodinski]

What a grand piece this is! Personally, I value it as one of the purest of the pure heavy metal songs along with Maiden's 'Phantom of the Opera'.

[@Mr01081960]

Awesome band and great Phil ❤️

[@homegrownpa]

I will share my thoughts. Phil Lynott and his bands of various line ups were very special. Thanks to the person who dropped [lost], Thunder and Lightening on the road for me to find and pick up. The music never tires.

[@DerInspektor]

One of my favourite Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott songs of all time. Rest in Peace Phil! Your Legacy is- and will always be alive!

[@clwilu94]

most underrated band ever.Great musicians.

[@zosoguy1207]

LIZZY 4 LIFE AND FOREVER

[@coscorrow]

Thin Lizzy is the greatest band

[@remi1961]

I have most of their vinyl albums. I finally saw them live this year at the Wolf Den in CT, 3-26-22. Got to meet Scott, Brian, Vivian, Ricky & Marco... What a night. Great tribute to Phil & Gary who are sadly missed!!

[@123steffff]

Because of the holy war, Rosalie will get cold sweat. But baby please don't go : boys are back in town ! After the thunder and lightings, you all will have a whiskey in the jar and be dancing in the moonlight. Phil, you'll always be a Rocker. I'm still in love with you. Cheers

[@tdchagas]

Amazing song and it has the best John Sykes solo of his career!

[@Jimboishere11]

Absolutely not.. it is a grand tune. But best solo? 😂😂😂

[@tzimisce111]

Thin Lizzy are amazing. Amazingly though I didn't even know about them until I heard Metallica's cover of "Whiskey in the Jar". And I'm so glad I was introducted to them because their stuff is just so amazing! Funny how this concert was performed three years before I was even born and it's still so freaking good!

[@diabeticmonkey]

Of all the versions, this one just has that "something special" feeling. Its so powerful.

[@simonfreeman6790]

The best hard rock band I never got to see.

[@wicker1985]

I LOVE THIN LIZZY !!!!!!
