  • This shit is the shit!

  • (((((RoCKeR)))))

  • this is why im proud to be irish!!!!

  • awesome 

  • i'm a rocckkkaaa

  • Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stomping bipping and bopping and telling a dirty joke or two. No-one and I do mean no-one writes lyrics like the one and only Philip Parris Lynott ~ fantastic music! :)

  • The guitar solo is the best...Pretty much ever.

  • This Eric Bell rocks a lot!!!!!!!

  • ATTITUDE.

  • Me and my buddies did all the things they said on this song back when we were high school lol badass Lizzy tune !!!

  • @leegeddyfan you're a rocker!!!

  • @jmoney31705 I remember when I was 16 when I was bitten by the Lizzy bug, I spent two months slaving in a restaurant just to buy a Gibson Les Paul ! Best 1200 bucks ever spent man

  • @leegeddyfan i feel ya man, unfortunately for me, i got the lizzy bug just last year, as an american you know, all we hear on the radio is jailbreak and the boys are back in town, well my co worker/ my brothers best friend turned me onto the johnny the fox album and i've been a full fledge fan ever since, and he plays a mediocre JP player bass, so i went out out and bought a ibanez SGR300 bass, now i have a nice MiM fender p bass with emg pick ups and i try to learn every lizzy song i can

  • @jmoney31705 did you get a black P bass with the reflector pickguard like Phil's ?

  • @jmoney31705 not yet , its light blue with the mother of pearl type pickguard

  • 3 people have obviously been kicked in the face and are seeing double which caused them to miss the like button.

  • Comment removed

  • FORGET ALL THESE in touch with my inner self ROCK TYPES today because they aint GOT SHIT on this here !!

    R.I.P Thin Lizzy FOREVER

    PORTUguese stoner ROCKER

  • I THINK I SEE SMOKE COMIN OUT OF THE WAH PEDAL!!

  • now this is music. today's music is pure bullshit, it doesn't even classify to me as music. i would have thought that it would have gotten better throughout the time suprise it didn't.

  • @urmydarkstar original comment is original

  • need i say more than..YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! ???? WHAHAHAHHA just one example of good ass rock! greetz from Amsterdam!

  • Eric Bell, guys... Eric Bell... Buy the first three albums of Lizzy.

  • @yslee73 Eric Bell is such a great guitar palyer and also unknown by most ppl who qualify themself as "Rocker"

  • I love this song, "I'm a rocker, I'm a roller too baby...ooh baby..

    Ooh I do anything for you, cuz you're a rocker!" Love those lyrics. Phil is such a great poet and awesome singer. Thin lizzy's music will always be in my life.

  • eargasm :)

  • see me I'm a tough guy got my cycle outside wanna try.. she just looked at me and rolled them big eyes..... and came home and gave good head. motorbikes are fukin great and so's Phil

  • Love this song! I headbang everytime i listen to this shit! plus, luv the album artwork.

  • howcome on the greatest hits the song is like 2 minutes long?

  • @baggass13 it's shorter cause there's no kick ass solo :-D

  • Man the attitude, the spirit, the vibe..just incredible.." I kick your face, you'd soon be seeing double!!!?

  • BITCHIN!

  • The best.

    

  • Not degrading anyone, but I used to confuse Phil's voice with Jimi Hendrix at first when I heard Thin Lizzy. I still believe Phil Lynott as a musician continues to be very underrated by most people.

  • @MrSomename89 you have the reason friend

  • @juan13579run yeah he sounds a bit like jimi

  • Is it just me, or does this song have something of a Hendrix inspiration to it?

  • Fucking amazing guitar solo!! 

  • RIP Phill Lynott and Gary Moore

  • @juan13579run

    Wrong!!? it was Eric Bell on the guitar

  • @lanslater men... i only say r.i.p gary moore because he die and he was part of the band....i know this is a eric bell solo =) sorry for the bad english

  • @juan13579run how can you leave out Eric Bell?! this solo was all his genius!

  • @pengo2008 he is not dead...and this solo is really awesome

  • @juan13579run lol my bad. yea its amazing.

  • @pengo2008 Amen my friend..Eric was great also..Phill was a great judge of finding guitarist..He had some of the best ever.Peaceout

  • Im a Rockah!

  • kick ass solo by Erik Bell very cool song by Philip Lynott I've always liked this song ever since I first herd it years ago when I was first tought it on Bass Guitar fantastic song by Philip Lynott it's a dam shame he's now passed away it really is and it's sutch a blow to the Rock World and seen with out Philip Lynott in the world now it's a duller place without him and his music R.I.P Philip Lynott And also Gary Moore R.I.P to you both godbless your souls you did well.

  • Finally, utube with the FULL Lizzy studio version of The Rocker with complete solo!

  • 3 people are poofters

  • RIP PHIL LYNOTT, THE TRUE ROCKER !

  • 3 people don't matter!

  • 1) Two people are mods.

    2) A MARACA!

  • Drum beat kills :)))))))))))))) Jellouse becouse i can't play drums like that

  • Proto punk crunch.

  • That solo could raise the dead

  • Brian may is good as so is "Eric Bell" there are a lot of people who should be mentioned and here they are .. "Andy Scott" (the sweet) he done a blinding solo on their B-Side of "hell Raiser" look it up please :) and "Mick Ronson" he played with David Bowie" And Jimmy Page, there are so many greats that were around in the seventies :) and a lot of new bands today learn from them :) Thanks For Posting.

  • No way is brian may as good as Gary Moore he's the best that there is like I said nobody can match that Thin Lizzy twin guitar solo can they Thin Lizzy are rock gods and I think today there's loads of rock bands who base there music on Philip Lynotts material there's a bit of Thin Lizzy in every rock band today evrybody wants to be Philip Lynott and Thin Lizzy but they cannot do it nobody can match or eaven play as good as Thin Lizzy Philip Lynott was ununice a one off best of all time.

  • Y'all do realize that Gary Moore wasn't the guitarist on this song right? It was Eric Bell.

  • Comment removed

  • (I'm not the guy who wrote this originally)

    What does underrated mean anything

    I love it you love it what's the problem

    It's not the quantity of the people who love it but it's the quality

  • Had to start the song over to sign in and like it. hahahaha

  • Energy in the morning!

  • Got the limited editon of Vagabonds signd by Eric Bell. Love the hole album!

  • 1:57

    One of the craziest guitar solos I've ever heard.

    I once bought a universal music compilation of Lizzy hits, and would you believe it- they cut the solo out of the song.

    What the fuck was that about? Some kind of time limit on the CD?

    Utterly ridiculous.

  • @JoeTheToucan I think the original single cut out the solo - it basically chopped off the last two minutes or so.

  • Erik Bell was a punk guitarist before punk. Proto Captain Sensible

  • Erik Bell was a punk guitarist before punk

  • The guitar solo is one of the greatest solos in the history of rock, nuff said

  • my god the way Erik Bell does the solo in this song is totally bad ass sounds amazeing the way he does it nobody can match or play as good as any of Thin Lizzy's guitarist's and nobody has that twin Thin Lizzy guitar sound in today's rock bands out there ok you've got like slash and brian may hank mavin but I think there no where as good as Thin Lizzy's Guitarists.

  • @helraiser666painkil Everyone on the scene called Brian May the Governor. But yeah, Gary Moore was king.

  • This solo is very good. It starts easy but then....

  • what a band

  • 3 PEOPLE DON'T ROCK.

  • @thewaronterror yes, they do, numbnuts. Ever heard of Rush, America, Cutting Pink With Knives, Nirvana, The Meat Puppets, Beat Happening, Add N to (X), Cheap Time, etc., etc., etceterfuckinra!

  • @thewaronterror 3 people dont like rock music

  • This is so awesome you have to press the replay button.

  • Does it get much better...

  • i'm a rocker..... I'm a roller too hunny!

    fucking awesome!

  • Damn this is good stuff! >q-_-p<

  • masterpiece....

  • for benji whos missing the rock and roll days

  • im a roller too baby, EPIC 

  • Probably the best song Eric Bell did with Lizzy, his solo is so insane it's undescribable. Once you think it can't get any better he just turns the notch up higher and higher and higher and higher and higher until your head explodes from the awesomeness.

  • @JamesParkour731 i agree but whiskey in the jar was great guitar work also.

  • @jr55ful Among the best TL solos. But as good as this one is I think "Got to Give It Up" has an even better solo.

  • Hey baby meet me I'm a tuff guy EPIC WIN

  • hey baby meet me I'm a tuff guy lol AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

  • amazing eric bell solo, superbly structured, so full of ideas

  • Yeah I get pissed when they play this on the radio and cut out the whole damn solo...lol

  • Comment removed

  • bell,robertson,gorham,moore,wh­ite,sykes...that didn't happen by accident

  • He gets his records at the rock and roll store....LEGEND

  • First time I've ever heard the longer version and it's even more bangin than before.

  • ive beeen missing out big time this iss intense all ive heard is the shortend Version. wtf it should class as sin to shorten this song and cut out the solo :D

  • The epic-ness of this song knows no bounds

  • RIP GARY

  • RIP GARY MOORE

  • @dakkeseta Gary Moore didn't play on this one - they didn't get him until "Nightlife", and then again on "Black Rose". This is Eric Bell. But still a great tune nonetheless.

  • @dakkeseta and RIP Phil Lynott. T_T

  • This is my jam!

  • 3:28 is an orgasm!!

  • brighter than a shooting star...........and stars don't fall from the sky,they shine forever..........rock on Philo!!!! RIP

  • This is rock!!! R.I.P. Phil Lynott!

  • if you dont wanna move to this then you're dead

  • aside from that being awesome, Thin Lizzy is probably one of the best names for a band ev-er.

  • to the youngsters: search for "Phil Lynott" on wikipedia.

  • @urguelfa i am 13 and i love rock and i hate our days music and i know who is phil lynott

  • 2 people have poor taste in music... sucks to be them :P

  • one of thin lizzys best songs ever and I agree the rock solo in this has got to be one of the best ever wrote erik bell is a fantastic guitarist if anybodys got this version of the rocker on cd turn it up full blast and the solo sounds eaven better try it out folks.

  • The two dislikes are U2 and Coldplay. How can u not like this song?

  • @Sillkeable u2 loved thin lizzy

  • if someone has tabs for this pleas send me them cant find them anywere

  • Nice quality upload, interesting I hadn't found this earlier. Thanks for uploading this and keeping Lizzy out there!

  • one of the best songs by lizzy and probably one of the best guitar solos ever and rarely heard in the short version released

  • @montjeu99 The short version was a crime !

  • good solo

    very amazing o.O

  • This is so underrated, should've been on "Wild Hogs" or something.

  • why dont they play this on the radio? i like jailbreak, the boys are back in town but these guys made so many songs that were 10 times better than those

  • @whoshitonthecake I ask myself the same question. I have even posted requests to local radio, and no go.

  • I wish there were bands around today that could make music like good 'ol Thin Lizzy did!

  • Why aren't these guys in the Hall of Fame? Every song they have has an epic solo.

  • @ledzeppelinfan4ever

    Rory G isn't in the hall of fame either, or vanilla fudge or budgie and I could go on. The hall of fame is completely worthless to be honest true rockers will find the music that matters!

  • I'M A ROCKER, I'M A ROLLER, TOO!

  • oh my

  • One of my all-time favourites and one of the best Rock-classics ever produced!!!

  • Wow I've never heard the original long version till now.

  • yer mind blowing....thanks for posting man.....

  • omar salazar

  • alot of record company's the the 1970's were looking to cash in on zeppelin's poplauartiy. thin lizzy, ac/dc and many many others were cut from that same cloth!!!!

  • Not for the faint of heart, elderly, squeemish, pussy justin beiber fans, pussy rap or hip hop fans. ONLY FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO TRULY BE FUCKING ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @REDKNIGHTTHEGREAT i think you're right. both singers burned out in life and became rock legends. both bands are from that led zeppelin school. thin lizzy and ac/dc would have been the best of friends (many drinks would have been drinked!)

  • @MeYouView I think that the world would've been a better place if Bon and Philo were still alive. Also, Thin Lizzy and AC/DC took Zeppelin and cranked it to 11. Many drinks would've been drunk and there would've been a lot of road stories too. Philo and Bon were able to fully inhabit their songs in a case of art imitating life

  • Eric Bell's Guitar-solo robs you of the breath, this song sweeps to you the hair of the head!! I'M A ROCKER, I'M A ROLLER TOO BABY!!! Rockin' greetings from Germany!!!

  • i couldn't breathe after that solo

  • Sounds like a cross between jimi hendrix and AC/DC!

  • @MeYouView Yeah. I'd imagine that Philo and Bon Scott would've gotten along quite well with eachother

  • wtf One miss click ;<

  • im a rocker im a roller toooooo baby

  • damn shame what drugs and shit did to so many great bands phil was a fuckin legend and still is

  • @classicrock4ev3r the world would be a hell of alot better place if drugs never existed.

  • @MetallicaFan1108 i dont think so man if things to expand conciousness didnt exist i think we'd be in a dystopic wasteland by now

  • TEDDY BOYS ARE DEAD

  • @squattrash No, they aint. Still some around.

  • they need to play this on densha otoko

  • this riff is awesome !

  • got my cycle outside... you wanna try?.... how cool is that??

  • He raped that guitar

  • This song embodies Rock and Roll

  • still fresh,even after 35 years!!!.....can you beleive it? can't kill rock-n-roll....R.I.P Philo

  • I'm a Rocker

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Im a Rocka!

    And im a rolla too!

  • Yes I`m a rocker ! Great name for an asskickin` hard rock song. The long version with the killer lead guitar solo is the best ! Rock on ! Turn up the volume to 11 !

  • Eric Bell... the world's most underrated guitarist... kicks frickin' ass!!!!!!

  • Great, simply genious i Love the masetring on ising the flager effect Bomo go and try to something similar (maybe you can call IT I'M A SUCKER)

  • forever one of my favorite songs of all time!!!! yeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh

  • That solo made me jizz :)

  • Holy crap!

  • i was born in the wrong era.

  • @elliejellie123 i second that.

  • classic twin lead rock

  • @LambFilms Whaddya talking about? There's only one lead on this track. This is classic 3-piece guitar bass drums. Back then they were only a 3 piece with Eric Bell on guitar along with the Downey/Lynnot rhythm section.

  • @MartyMolloy fair enough man, but we used to play it in a band with twin lead as they did live. A film is being made in Dublin about Phil called "The Wild One"

  • @LambFilms Good to hear. I'll look out for that. Where are they going to get another 7ft tall black man with a Dublin accent to play Phillo? :)

  • Quality, this song plays in my head when i go into a new pub lolololol

  • does anyone else think phil sounds a lot like roger daltrey?

  • @swastikausa No lol

  • This is the epitome of cool.

  • Rock'n Roll!!!

  • epic.

  • this is my favorite thin lizzy song so far! I'M A ROCKER!!!

  • Phil Lynnot con su voz y su bajo electrico noqueaba como sus hermanos de raza Muhammad Alí,José Legrá y Kid Pambelé campeones del mundo de peso pesado,pluma y superligero respectivamente.
