Beautiful guitar harmonies. Great song too! I so miss this kind of talent in today's stagnant musical world. I'm sure it's still out there - but no-one gives a damn. I'll just have to settle for watching X Factor with girlfriend, or taking too many pills with whiskey!
I have a Lizzy tribute band ( we are all in our 40's and yes we kick ass! )....Nice to see younger people embracing older music. Just because it's not from THIS WEEK doesn't mean it's not awesome & relevant. We are working on this song now, challenging...tho it sounds simple...
Wild One, Roisin Dub and It's Getting Dangerous are my favorite of Thin Lizzy. Even if my best band is Metallica, I hold a big place in my heart for Lynott, Gary Moore and their friends !
That's crazy how unknown is that band.. In my opinion WAY BETTER than most famous ROCKSTAR or band like Hendrix or The Door... that made more crappy stuff... that sound so sweet rock, heard that would make everyone in the same side, muslims, chistians, black, white, rednecks.... If only the wind could blow that sound to the whole earth at the same time..
YOUTUBE performs a valuable service to the world. It expose people to an infinite variety of music & artists that they may not be familiar with or just know from one song that gets played to death on "Classic Rock" radio. Thin Lizzy is a classic example. They are a great rock band. If all you know about THIN LIZZY is "The Boys Are Back In Town" & Jailbreak, there are are a LOT more great songs such as "Wild One," "Still In Love With You," "Southbound" & "The Rocker." This is first class rock!!!
@entwistle4ever I also like Pandora. Since I've started listening to it, I've created several stations and have opened myself up to thousands of bands that I like that I've never even heard of before listening to the lame-ass radio stations.
The Most Under-rated band of all time, yeah the Beatles changed music worldwide and I love the Beatles, but Ireland had fallen behind in Beatle-Mania still listening to Irish Showbands and a group like Thin Lizzy was un-heard of, they changed music in Ireland Forever!, sure Whiskey In The Jar and Boys Are Back In Town are fabulous songs but songs like Wild One, Cowboy Song and Look What The Wind Blew In will always be the best of Thin Lizzy. LETS FACE IT, U CAN'T BEAT LIZZY!
Attn kids, do NOT, repeat NOT, pay money to see anything calling itself Thin Lizzy in concert.
Phil is DEAD. There is no Lizzy without Phil. Listen to the records. Go on YOUTUBE.
A lot of Americans only know Lizzy from "The Boys Are Back In Town" and maybe, maybe, "Jailbreak." As fellow Youtuber mdelair420 says below, there is a helluva lot more!
@entwistle4ever Totally agree! I'm in a Yahoo group that boasts members that are usually hip to good music, be it current or "classic", but once the subject of Thin Lizzy came up, a couple of them chimed in how they were "sick of them"! What they are "sick of", is Classic Rock radio's refusal to play anything but "The Boys Are Back in Town"... But those of us who give a damn know there's SOOO much more to the legendary band!
This band is like a lost cave full of gold and silver...To all those who find this cave enjoy the spoils..For this cave is Stocked full of treasures...Peace out...R.I.P ....Phil we miss you..
Watched a bio on Phil the other night at 4 in the morning. I was shattered but couldn't not finish it. What a musical influence and what a true loss to rock. This brings me to tears. Rest in peace Phil. xxxxx
mike and me tried and tried to play guitar,one day when i was 13,i went to my brother mikes,JIM,you have to listen to this,the jailbreak,we were never the same
Sweet Jesus these guys were so hot back then fantastic band for sure. Unlike the spineless humourless nitwits who call themselves rockers nowadays silly arses.
i really wish i was around when these guys were in their prime, im 16 and they're my hero's, brian downey especially.. i saw them live in dublin in the olympia and the singer they had was good but he was no phil lynott. r.i.p. to him and the great gary moore too.
@beatlesecw Yep...One Of My All Time Favourite Lizzy Tunes This...Its Haunting Lyrics Make me Miss Phil Lynott More and More...So Sadly Sadly Missed On This Planet..we are The Losers Cos he is In another Place ...RIP Phil.
I'm in my mid 20's and was just recently exposed to Thin Lizzy's lesser known stuff. I can't believe how good this sounds. I had always heard of Thin Lizzy but figured, like most people my age, they were a two hit wonder as the retarded classic rock stations that play nothing but Stairway and Freebird would have people believe. It's amazing how underrated and under-appreciated this band is. It's also astounding how much of today's rock sound is clearly derived from these guys.
@djw151 me too bro, 27 here, growing up in america all i knew of lizzy was boys are back in town, jailbreak, and bad reputation, about 2 years ago a co worker turned me on to the Johnny The Fox album, and i have been a FULL FLEDGED Lizzy fan ever since. PHIL LYNOTT FOREVER!!! i played the violin in grade school, now i rock the bass, mostly because of PHIL!!!!!
Brian Downey had such a BIG part in making Lizzy's sound yet he's often over-looked because it was a band with such strong personalities. In any other band he'd have reigned King.
sbyrne1...I believe that you are correct. How sad. What a GREAT band they were. I was at Royal Oak Music Theater in suburban Detroit, MI in the late 70's with my best friend. We witnessed the "warm-up" band AC/DC get BOOED off the stage (not because they were necessarily BAD), but because we could not WAIT for THIN LIZZY!
Philip was incredible, Gorham and Robertson were unbelievable! GOD I loved this band...
@seymouro seen lizzy play this track in 1970s at the round house and got back stage i was only 17 and just starting to play gtr and gorham and robertson showed me the solo mind robertson was well pissed but could still play ...

Philip was incredible, Gorham and Robertson were unbelievable! GOD I loved this band...
Being a child of the '60's I was able to see numerous fabulous bands in concert. The Stones, The Who, The Dead, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin and many more too numerous to count. Out of all of that the best concert I ever saw was Thin Lizzy and Queen playing Cobo Arena in Detroit in 1976. Queen was the headliner and they were great, but after the show, me and my buddies figured we had just seen the greatest rock and roll band on earth in Thin Lizzy and we became devoted fans. Great memories!
Totally digging Brian Downey's drumming on this-- then, I hear the bass guitar, vocals and Thin Lizzy's "Twin Guitar" sound. Amazingly talented, the lot of them! I tend to love the songs from the Gary Moore and Brian Robertson era the most!!
Sure wish people would listen to Thin Lizzy more. They are more than just "JailBreak" or "The Boys are back in Town." don't get me wrong they are great songs! Just there is more to bands than their singles. God I love this song.
I love the clean drum strokes at :55 especially.. I admire Brian Downey's drumming style. This band had everything --great tunes and no matter the period of the band, the musicians were exceptionally superior to most of their counterparts. (I say this in particular from the Lynott, Downey, Robertson, Gorham period especially),
ah thin lizzy the best ever!!!we played this song at my best friends funeral who was killed in a motorcycle crash 4 years ago and it always brings back memorys sad and happy when i hear this song(hope me mate bought phil a jar in the big bar in the sky for all those excellent songs)gone but not forgotten!!!
Beauty Beauty thats me Yes thats me me me me i am shure that song is about me but I never would return to my bornland, cause Mexico is my new Home, Mi Dulce Familia Mexicana mia para Siempre !
Phil gave his life to music, and sometimes I wonder if he sacrificed his life to the legends of the rock ages to keep this never forgotten band...in the minds of his fans..."oh but its a habit worth forming if it means to justify the end."
American music sometimes concerns youth leaving a broken home and making a way in the world. Springsteen's "Born to Run" may be the modern archytype of this theme. Perhaps it is just a musical echo of a American tradition of departure. On the other hand, it seems that Irish music--folk as well as rock (see "Missing You", "Thousands Are Sailing")--is often sung from the point of view of the ones left behind. I know of know better, more beautiful example of that narrative than this song.
the band looks awesome nowadays, compared to assfucking chavs and emo's, image what people must have thought of them in those days....(wow i look gay, with this hair cut) LOL thin lizzy are amazing!
@TheRisingforce2000 Cover? Phil wrote this - it's a Lizzy original and this is the original recording... did I miss something? ru referring to someone else who covered this - if so, would LOVE to hear it!
@TheRisingforce2000 phil loved comic books you can tell. so cool. the art work is like silver age comics. meaning comics from the 12cent and up. thats silver i think its about 69 or so when that age starts. before that it was golden age. all the first books. phil read alot of golden age as kid probly. so he used the art for these album covers. he had alter egos well super heros do to, so you see the connection. so simalur.peace
This is my favourite Thin Lizzy song. I think that he's talking me, in my younger days. Fantastic tune, fantastic drumming. I love it! It should have been a hit song, why wasn't it?
Agreed, a completely over looked band for the most part. Never really got their just due. I still got the vinyl cover to this album. Way back when people were listening to Duran, Duran and the Fixx. Ok, I was listening to them too.....I had broad listening interests.
some people just dont comprehend how great this song and this band is.all they know is the boys r back in town or jail break.lucky for us we know how great this music is. the solo just played it gives me chills.peace.rip phil
@mdelair420 i have searched high and low for a Thin Lizzy LP,are they that hard to find,i have come across a beach boys LP,a few Beatles(which i bought for my father on Fathers Day"he was thrilled")but Phil lynott is so hard to come across,you would have to be lucky
@nottoberemembered yeah! i got my hands on Thin Lizzy Jailbreak Record,and it is in mint condition,and the cover smells like brute....you can smell the Aftershave off it,by the way they sell Thin Lizzy T-shirts on eBay too.....if your buying a record,make sure it comes with the Cover,i see a lot of them without sleeves....and you have to ask them if it has a cover,a sleeve,and is it scratched......it is worth more with the cover,the sleeve is less important..but needed to keep it clean...
@Elevationary i've come across quite a lot of Thin lizzy LP's rather more easily than you seem to be, including the fighting album. Happy hunting to you friend! I hope you get your record fill :)
@mdelair420 amen....I cant tell you how many times ill be on a road trip with my friends and I'm like, let me educate you. I put this on, and their minds are blown.
@mdelair420 yep, if not for an older friend and his greatest hits album I'd be in the same doomed boat. "Renegade" "Black Rose" "Wild One" "Lonely Hearts" Awwwww so perpetual
A reference widely used in Thin Lizzy songs. (Johnny The Fox) Johnny, Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed. I think it's just an alter ego Phil made up. Awesomely cool :P
thats why people over forty slag all the rubbish thats on now-its watered down trash trying to emulate the masters,we seen it all done it all the lucky ones died
this song reminds me of all the people i love who have gone away, and because of this song i dont think i can ever move from my home town, because it is home...it is my heart :) I love lizzy, forever
This song is Thin Lizzy / Lynott at ITS purest. Good honest rock, with the hint of..... you know, I know, we all know and WE can all relate to that wild one.
I just hit "Thumbs Down" on your comment, but I meant to hit Thumbs Up. When Phil was at his best lyrically, it really painted a picture in your mind about the people he was talking about. Such a great lyricist.
Beautiful guitar harmonies. Great song too! I so miss this kind of talent in today's stagnant musical world. I'm sure it's still out there - but no-one gives a damn. I'll just have to settle for watching X Factor with girlfriend, or taking too many pills with whiskey!

I know of know better, more beautiful example of that narrative than this song.

Does anyone else think that Philly wrote this song about himself? It brings me to tears, just so damn melodic. Truly a huge loss to rock.

@TheRisingforce2000 Cover? Phil wrote this - it's a Lizzy original and this is the original recording... did I miss something? ru referring to someone else who covered this - if so, would LOVE to hear it!

@TheRisingforce2000 phil loved comic books you can tell. so cool. the art work is like silver age comics. meaning comics from the 12cent and up. thats silver i think its about 69 or so when that age starts. before that it was golden age. all the first books. phil read alot of golden age as kid probly. so he used the art for these album covers. he had alter egos well super heros do to, so you see the connection. so simalur.peace

This is my favourite Thin Lizzy song. I think that he's talking me, in my younger days. Fantastic tune, fantastic drumming. I love it! It should have been a hit song, why wasn't it?
TheDrumWolf 2 years ago 4
Agreed, a completely over looked band for the most part. Never really got their just due. I still got the vinyl cover to this album. Way back when people were listening to Duran, Duran and the Fixx. Ok, I was listening to them too.....I had broad listening interests.

@mdelair420 i have searched high and low for a Thin Lizzy LP,are they that hard to find,i have come across a beach boys LP,a few Beatles(which i bought for my father on Fathers Day"he was thrilled")but Phil lynott is so hard to come across,you would have to be lucky

Any luck finding one? I just got myself a copy of Grand Slam the collection, its rare enough but defiantly worth checking out.

@nottoberemembered yeah! i got my hands on Thin Lizzy Jailbreak Record,and it is in mint condition,and the cover smells like brute....you can smell the Aftershave off it,by the way they sell Thin Lizzy T-shirts on eBay too.....if your buying a record,make sure it comes with the Cover,i see a lot of them without sleeves....and you have to ask them if it has a cover,a sleeve,and is it scratched......it is worth more with the cover,the sleeve is less important..but needed to keep it clean...

@Elevationary i've come across quite a lot of Thin lizzy LP's rather more easily than you seem to be, including the fighting album. Happy hunting to you friend! I hope you get your record fill :)

A reference widely used in Thin Lizzy songs. (Johnny The Fox) Johnny, Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed. I think it's just an alter ego Phil made up. Awesomely cool :P

This song is Thin Lizzy / Lynott at ITS purest. Good honest rock, with the hint of..... you know, I know, we all know and WE can all relate to that wild one.

I just hit "Thumbs Down" on your comment, but I meant to hit Thumbs Up. When Phil was at his best lyrically, it really painted a picture in your mind about the people he was talking about. Such a great lyricist.
