I was lucky enough to sit down and talk to brian Downey, just after phil passed, ..my brothers girlfriend and her brother grew up in crumlin with phil,, we had a drink,.and spoke about him...Brian was such a lovely guy...I suppose,.looking back, I was asking all sorts of questions, about phil, I was excited just to be speaking to brian,, I was 19 then....can't remember everything I said....but, it is a good memory to have....my grandparents,.and aunty, are buried not far from phil,, in Howth cemetery,, and sadly,, his mother is now there with him...RIP,, phil and philomena...love you man....you were the Rocker...

[@deantalbotdrums]

He’s the guy that first started me playing. Brilliant drummer.

[@thom5517]

The absolute best on my opinion!

[@DavidGarcia-yv1fp]

Brian's drumming is so memorizing. If you don't really listen, you will miss the unsubtle on/off beats that carry the song. I thought the snare was great, then I realized the bass drum during the rim shots was almost mind blowing! That's what Brain does, makes the complex seem easy. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🎵🎶🎼🥉🥉🥉🥉

[@MrJarl66]

Thin Lizzy is highly valued in Europe as 1 of the big influencers on Hard Rock/Heavy Metal in the late 70 - early 80's. Their mixture of two guitarplayers, the harmonys, the irish storytelling aspect, it all made them great. and in the middle stood Mr Phil Lynott.

[@joryarmstrongest4938]

I keep reading where people say that Thin Lizzy, Brian Downey were/are underrated, those are completely wrong statements to make, Phil, Lizzy, B Downey are all talked about with the very highest respect and are the most admired band by music lovers and others bands all over this wide world, Phill and all the boys In Thin Lizzy from the very first to the last were all top notch players. Phill will a brilliant wordsmith, story, frontman, leader of the band, top bass player, top singer surround by all his Commanders in chiefs all the boys. The very finist band to ever set foot on stage on Gods and yes Gods favorite hard rock band by a Heavenly mile

I think it's mostly Americans that say that. Sometimes we forget that there are other places in the world. But yeah, here in America most people only know of "The Boys Are Back In Town" if they know any Lizzy at all. That being said, I am one American who thinks Brian Downey is one of the best rock drummers ever. Really wish he'd bring Alive And Dangerous somewhere close to north east Ohio.

Their twin guitar game is really one the best in bands and Lynott lyrics are very well crafted. A band like Iron Maiden would never sound the same without Lizzy.

I was around 10-11 yo... was a cassette in fact... listened to it on my walkman... wow... when Angel of Death started I had the shock of my life! Could not believe such a powerful music could exist! Each song, every single note was all I ever looked for! The best rock music ever... cos you were unique and no other music had this very special colour you brought into the art of music... Oh yes I love you so much and still do... no other music can make me as happy as yours, as calm, as high... it's a mix of feelings I onl can relate to Heaven... I hope you're in peace Phil, my big bro... may my little soul burn on and on to enight your rest...

Thin Lizzy most under rated band in rock history! they could play anything Phil could write and make it cool and rock! Snowy was great in the band and always forgotten! not my me! him and Scott made a great team and my favorite time of the band! Chinatown and Renegade are my favorite albums! I saw them 4x's on Chinatown tour! I stood in front of Snowy each time. I have a gold les paul like he played! I met Phil once he gave me 2 buttons I still wear on my guitar strap! I love his voice. I always tried to sing in a deep low cool voice like him. this song just rocks. brilliant. F the 20 idiots as of now who voted down.

This band had a profound effect on me as a youngster. I saw them live 4 times before I left school. My favourite is the "classic" line up (Lynott, Gorham, Robertson, Downey), though they did some great stuff with other line ups, especially with Snowy. This song is very touching, we all know people like who Phil sings about. There was no band like them before, and nothing since. Rock and Roll, blues, funk, soul. It's all here. I feel elated and also very sad.

[@MrPnew1]

Agreed that's my favourite line-up too. Not taking anything away from all the other fine guitarists that where part of Lizzy over the years. Yeah, Snowy was ace
