Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town (Official Music Video)

[@marymcmullen5150]

One of the best songs I heard in Arnhem, the Netherlands. I am Irish and my son and daughter were born in Arnhem. I hoped that 'The boys are back in town' a wonderful tribute to Thin Lizzy was played there, would be played there again. Irish rock is the best and our beloved Phil song that.

[@edwardcharles8638]

Indeed this song is truly an amazing song, Thin Lizzy is such a talented artist and this is one of my best song of her. Can we be friends hope you don't mind ?

[@ChainNonSmoker]

00:28 it's chord changes like that that creates a certain tension which pretty much devides the average songs from the great ones, very smart and musical. +In Thin Lizzy's case the dual guitar solos are a similar factor as well, those 2 qualities are what made them one of the greats.

[@nugraha7463]

now every song had those kinds of chord changes. kinda sad how overused it is now

[@didifischervideo]

The singer-songwriter on the bass is a genious - I didn't need the two guys with "good hair" IMHO

[@posterdatix591]

the song has one jazz-fusion verse, and an hard rock verse with 3 sharp chord changes. The studio version is a bit sedated, late live version are explosive.

[@hush3956]

​@@nugraha7463not really I don't hear stuff like this at all anymore. No one is experimentative with sound they just use the same chords from canon in d

[@shredd5705]

@@nugraha7463 I don't think so. It's borrowed from jazz, it's really rare to hear chords like that in pop/rock anymore. Modern music is dead boring, basic chord progressions, autotune and shitty rapping

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

The Boys Are Back In Town, My 6 brothers and I were very lucky to get to see Thin Lizzy play live gigs and concerts all over the lands from the early day up to the end, they were the best rocking band, they had class, style, lead by a master wordsmith, poet, historian and total rocked, each and every man in this band, total master musicians. The boys never left my town, I can easily recall each and every one of the Thin Lizzy gigs that we attended as young men, now a little older, the music and memories still remains the same quality, I still miss Phil & Gary

RIP Phil, a true LEGEND that was too good, too talented and just too god like to be down here on Earth. Instead, he keeps the music in heaven banging! I just listened to Jeff Wayne's War Of The World's and Phil is just SO bloody good as the preacher. What an incredible voice he had, both singing and speaking. His portrayal of a shell-shocked preacher shows just how incredibly multi talented Phil truly was. That's real acting, a very, very convincing portrayal that really stands out as the best on that incredible album. He might not have lived very long (poor guy was only 36 when he passed, truly heartbreaking) but those years he lived left such an indelible mark on British music, with him still influencing untold numbers of musicians around the world!

16 here, and my dad introduced me to ‘whiskey in the jar.’ I really liked it so I started listening to all their other songs and I was actually surprised when I found out that they made this song too as I’ve heard it on a commercial. Now I’m literally obsessed with them and can’t stop listening to all of their songs! My favourites are mostly ‘whiskey in the jar’, ‘it’s only money’ and ‘jailbreak,’ and they’re probably in my most favourite top 10 songs of all time so far. I wish more young people like me would learn more about these underrated(?) bands and how much talent they had compared to now (no shade lol)! Good thing Bands like queen and Beatles are being more recognised among the younger generations though, and I hope it stays like that. Anyways, Thin Lizzy is awesome!!

I've seen Thin Lizzy, wow loads of times but sadly, I just missed Mr. Lynott. As he played in Chester, that is in England a place called Quaintways. A friend of mine Terry saw them several times and got on with Phil Lynott. So on these occasions, sat at the bar drinking Guiness with Mr. Lynott and talking about music, his very own words ' What a genuinley great bloke, we talked about music and bands until he had to go on' Maybe it's because of the Celtic connection as we both have rellies in Eire. Don't now. But what I've been told by a friend, Phil Lynott was a real top bloke. Sadly taken away from us, Keep on Rockin'.

With lyrics tense with a Springsteen-ish drama and multiple hooks - the legendary riff, the fist-punching chorus, the twin guitar solo from Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham to the chorus -fe with the smell of summer lawns and the memories of beach parties.

I was a kid when this was out but it defo left a mark on the soundtrack of my youth. I never realised back then that 'The Boys' were a group of Manchester gangsters called the 'Quality Street Gang'. In fact i'm pretty sure that Phil Lynott references them in a few of his other songs. I love it when you find out a song you love has a crazy story to it.

[@leedsant]

Just watched a documentary on KZbin about the quality street gang and you are right they mention them in a few songs. This song is about when they walked into a pub that Phil Lynott's mother ran and when the gang walked into the pub his mother said the boys are back in town. Also Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed is another song they are mention in

[@TonyClarke-k7t]

Spot on. "Dino's" Bar & Grill is mentioned in Jimmy the Weed's book. They were also regulars at Phil Lynott's mum's hotel in Whalley Range. My old fella's cousin, Jimmy Riley, was one of the group, sadly both my old fella and his cousin passed away in the last 2/3 years.
