Brian Downey is still playing the music today, with his band " Alive and dangerous."

[@scottmitchell7126]

Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson were absolutely incredible at playing nsync with each other. Fabulous guitar players

[@jgsrhythm100]

Thin Lizzy- Fighting My Way Back". The greatest inspirational song ever!

[@richardvillanueva5118]

Thanks for doing Thin Lizzy . This is some good shit from them. I have so many memories from my childhood. So Cal rock and roll for me. Phillip is one of my favorites! Always think of my High School years when I play Thin Lizzy! He showed me his Magnum............ Cmon man

[@kirkj8782]

You should really hit Thin Lizzy- Black Rose album. Scott Gorham & Gary Moore together on the whole album.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Tommy Bolin Marathon!!!

[@tomsnedeker9443]

The guitar solo on You Didn't Tell Him sounds like it was played by Scott Gorham but I could be wrong. The other guitarist on Renegade was Snowy White. Thank you for reminding me of what a great album that was!

[@delorangeade]

Definitely Scott.

[@DexterD63]

Fun Fact: Snowy White has played backup gtr with Pink Floyd and also Rog Waters.

[@79BlackRose]

@@delorangeade Yes, it is Scott Gorham 100%. I think the best solo Snowy White laid down with Thin Lizzy was on Sugar Blues from Chinatown. I have seen him doing his solo stuff as well. He is a really great player.

[@dalestevenson4315]

Almost every band in the new wave of British heavy metal was inspired by Thin Lizzy

[@hellstorm3233]

Hands down my favorite band of all time. You should check out Black Star Riders with Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson on guitars the first 3 albums are great and Scott was in Thin Lizzy I think you will dig them a lot

[@NJNDZoo]

Wild One might just be my favorite TL song. Phil's lyrics (about his mother being away) are heartbreaking.

[@davidmorgan5312]

Nick, as much as I like and admire Gary as a guitarist, in my opinion, my favourite line up was Phil, Brian, Scott & Robbo (Brian Robertson) they rocked. My favourite concert to watch / listen to, is One night in Dublin (A tribute to Phil Lynott) Gary & Brian headline the concert but past members of Lizzy perform most of their hit's.

[@jonnyfox14]

I was at that concert.. great night..

[@jgsrhythm100]

Huge props for including Ode to A Black Man (Huey Lewis killing it on the harp !) I mention this in comments all the time(on different reaction channels) and crickets. Kudos to you!!

[@sean_d]

I'm pretty sure I heard that For Those Who Love To Live was written with George Best in mind. (Legendary Belfast soccer player dazzled crowds with his playing, Man Utd football star, and legendary party animal, womaniser.) There's a great story about when his fame and partying was overtakng his soccer prowess and a lad was delivering room service, brought champagne to George's room where he was in bed with Miss World, wads of notes everywhere, the guy, a soccer fan, delivered the champagne and sadly shook his head, "George, where did it all go wrong?".

[@scottanderson8420]

Loving all the Thin Lizzy marathons and requests. A great great and very underrated band. thanks to the TWO NICKS. 😀😀

[@pookiemartinez1745]

Nick ck out Phil Lynott - Can't Get Away. this was 2 months before he passed. Phil was working with his good friend Huey Lewis and Johnny Colla. Phil's vocals for most part in higher register than he normally sings. its a beautiful song and if Phil would have lived and released it it would have been a smash. Phil was planning a third solo album and had three tunes ready. Laurence Archer was the guitarist, delivered a banger solo. By the way, Huey Lewis encouraged Phil to go up on octave. Lex will dig it. peace

[@colmwatulikededazio973]

Downey has a unique set of stick licks that are not so easy to nail .Best of luck with the tribute band .

[@hickeyrob]

If you get a chance , check out ‘Are you ready’ live from the Sydney Opera House , Phil introduces the band at the end - great visual to see how great Gary and Phil were together for the brief time in Thin Lizzy Electric live performance

[@quolizzy1554]

No One Told Him is my favourite song from the Renegade album, so happy you played it Nick. In my opinion its very underrated and almost forgotten about. I felt it had the potential to be a big hit single. But it seens not every fan agrees with me.

[@stephencaruso760]

still no notice of when a marathon is available - inner circle is hard to crack

[@brianatherton8752]

Scott Gorham played No One Told Him solo.

[@normanrose2711]

love his vocals on wild one !

[@TheoPhim]

You've already done "Fats" from Renegade... But not "It's getting Dangerous" my fav song from that album.

[@79BlackRose]

I love it too, but wish it had a solo in it.

[@runetollefsen7458]

Mark Knopler apears on Kings Call. Amazing.

[@chrisdover2634]

Loving these Lizzy marathon reactions. Great great band, sorely underrated and under appreciated. I prefer Phil more mellow side, I avoid Boys are back in town so much! 😂 If you haven’t reacted to it yet listen to Didn’t I from the China town album. Gorgeous song 👌

[@jonnyfox14]

Plus 1 here for "Didn't I" great tune.

[@quolizzy1554]

Loving these Thin Lizzy marathons, and thanks to Nick for sponcering them. There is so much more in the Thin Lizzy catalog to go yet. Just wondering where is Lex recently, I used to love watching her enjoy the Thin Lizzy songs as well as Nick, although he shows maximum appreciation and knows a lot about the music. Keep up this great work. 😊

[@TheoPhim]

"Fighting" is a great album by them

[@jgsrhythm100]

No one ever suggests " Fighting My Way Back". The greatest inspirational song ever!

[@TheoPhim]

@@jgsrhythm100 Yes, great song, one of my fav !

[@jaynai7515]

Lizzy. So many more gems still to explore! Philo and Lizzy.........ROCK!

[@paulkirk9168]

Hi Nick, great that you got to listen to some more tracks from Fighting ( not a bad song on it and Wild One has great harmonised guitar solos like you say ). You need to watch Still In Love With You - lIve at The Rainbow ( 1978 ), probably the best version on video.

[@peterfraley]

Snowy White on the renegade album- severely underrated

[@mr.cuddles1805]

When i heard Fatz start up at the end only to be stopped... You realy have to listen to it such a great and different track

[@lourenzi8820]

We have a great Lizzy cover band in CT, Fat Lizzy.

[@kimdeese6410]

Listen to I hear you call by Phil Lynott. ❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelamos4910]

Yes, I agree another great music marathon from the two Nick's. You are very knowledgeable on guitarists Nick and was impressed by the way you linked the solos on Still In Love With You to Still Got The Blues by Gary Moore.

[@dalestevenson4315]

Anybody got a little Irish in 'em... anybody want a little more Thin Lizzy was the best

[@TerryKrysinski]

Wild One!! A top fav by TL...thanks,bro..loved seeing your reaction to that one! As well as the following track-- Fighting has some great tracks. T

[@79BlackRose]

I hope he will do King's Vengeance as I have always loved that track.

[@NG-Lespaul]

Phil was a master!!! Never be another like him. Love me some Thin Lizzy!!!! Fighting is an absolute killer album

[@darrenw2890]

My uncle went school with Phil. He used to go see The Black Eagles. I never got to see Phil or Lizzy.

[@mwjsbleakwater564]

Phil Lynott is James Hetfields all time fav songwriter. Hetfield appears in the new Phil Lynott documentary “Song for while I’m away”

[@DexterD63]

Why have we not heard the actual song Jailbreak?

[@pentagrammaton6793]

No, you really cannot go wrong with these boys. \m/

[@user-gy5cx5db2i]

thin lizzy are quite similar in some way to led zeppelin- not so much the music, just the way that they attempted such different types of song and were so successful in doing it-

[@chrisbarlow2131]

I agree with a couple of other guys, there are a couple of tracks here that were stocking fillers. We have to remember the older they got, the more the drugs messed with their creative abilities. Me? I'd say their last truly cohesive album was Bad Reputation. Chinatown which followed it has a few strong songs on it too, and its saving grace was guitarist Snowy White who almost single handedly carried them over the line After that it hurts me to have to listen to their end of career stuff like Renegades and Thunder and Lightning. Phil vocally by now sounded asthmatic - a side effect of too much junk - and lyrically he was just recycling themes and ideas from earlier times because heroin kills a persons imagination dead. Thunder and Lightning was their metal album. Why? Because metal is the "easiest" form of rock to play. Phil used to rise above all the meatead types, but now he found himself down with them and the knuckledraggers and that was the end of them within 3 years of them splitting up Phil was dead at the age of 36......! What a waste of life. Scott Gorham said their biggest mistake and his biggest regret was him and Phil getting involved with heroin. He said he wishes he could have been strong enough to say no but he couldnt. He also went on to say that heroin destroyed them as a band. It killed Phil and very very nearly took Scott too. I really am glad you are highlighting Thin Lizzy Nick. Truly. I think once you know their back catalogue well, you will hear for yourself when they were really really on their game (Robertson - Gorham - Moore era) and when they clearly were not. Enjoy the journey. You still have plenty of stunning gems to find yet.

[@79BlackRose]

How was Black Rose not a cohesive album? :o

[@chrisbarlow2131]

@@79BlackRose Simon - you're right! Apologies. Black Rose truly was a very cohesive album. As a kid, hearing Waiting For An Alibi for the first time for instance was epic.

[@annereidy7981]

I've lost all hope of hearing 'A Song for While I'm Away', my fave Phil song always.. Let me make an argument for a listen, are you a romantic? If yes, well you have the prime opportunity to listen to the most lyric, beautiful, romantic rock ballad ever written, by Phil Lynott. Go on and have a listen, you won't be disappointed.

[@delorangeade]

Thanks for continuing with these marathons. It's misleading to call Thin Lizzy underrated. Only in America, and even then the people who mattered were listening. Thin Lizzy were very successful, and even more influential. It's also misleading to keep emphasising the metal aspects of the music. Thin Lizzy has fans right across the musical spectrum, if you look at the diversity of acts who have covered their songs. That said, I don't think everything they did was great. Leave This Town is uninspired album filler, which Scott admitted drew heavily on ZZ Top, and I don't think Ode to Liberty is worthy of any of the talents involved.
