[LtPrime]

[lockie72]

I grew up next to Clontarf Castle but never met the friendly ranger. It used to be a pub now its a fancy hotel. Used to see Phil at the bus stop on Clontarf Road sometimes in the '70s. I sawllive at my school before they were famous. Great band.

...and in the evening shade...

Thank you for this treat my friend.Wow.

[BlueShark45]

The only thing that amazes me more than Thin Lizzy themselves-Is the fact that the fabulous song writing and incredible talent is not more widely known.

I suppose this is the special thing about them. We are a happy family of true fans and will always love the gift Phil gave to us. Not to exclude all the other musicians like Brian Downey,Gary,Eric,Brian R,Snowy and John.

I could not have said it better my friend. It's interesting because everyone I spoke to said when they saw them live, they were the best band they had ever seen. Even if they hadn't been a fan before. The only reason I can think that they didn't get as much prolific is just they are in insanely rare band. When I think of the genre rock. It's always Thin Lizzy to me.

[guitarlad89]

ahem, scott gorham lol  geeeeeeeez

[BlueShark45]

Aah Scott,I knew I was missing a key ingredient. A bit much to drink perhaps?

Nice call my friend. Even Lizzy fans need a kick in the backside now and again.

[jackshit64]

forgot scot and darren

[dummytree]

@BlueShark45 Songwriting, yes. And variety too. People always think of Thin Lizzy as this "hard rock" band when they were actually much more diverse than that.

[alevkelley]

wow I wish phil had kept some of this strange stuff up with the post bell lizzy. love the vibe and how some buffalo gal sneaks in there.

[ugar]

[sbyrne1]

Hey Riccardo how are ya? Yeh I think you read Clontarf Castle when you went on your trip to Dublin :P. It's a hotel now but used to be open to the public as a castle or something I think :P

[ugar]
