Thin Lizzy Live Cardiff April 2007 The boys are back in town

[MegaJoey79]

the truth hurts.. there is no lizzy without him! not ever!!!!

[Black66Man]

Like The Who without Pete Townsend

[gh9448]

@Black66Man considering that the other two have been dead,that's an understatement,but what if Keith and John hadn't died, and let's say Pete died years later-would people still go see a Pete-less Who with Roger,John,Keith with someone else playing guitar?

[mickymalibu]

Who the fuck are these imposters ??

[domnal]

@mickymalibu The only original is Scott Gorham !! I think he is the " Brand "owner . What ever happened to Brian Robertson and Brian Downey ? But even if you had all the guitarists who were ever in Thin Lizzy and the original drummer it still would not be Lizzy !! I blame Phil Lynott for accidentally off-ing himself - silly person!!

Could he not see what we would have to endure without him !! Take a note of what I've said 'cos there ain't no rock'n'roll when you're dead !!

[DrewBurdaky95]

Thin Lizzy arent Thiz Lizzy without Phil Lynott and even Gary Moore, this is just basically a tribute cover band

[Tastycakes69]

I guess you have to view them more as a tribute to the original before you can really appreciate this...

[tuckenpower69]

Half Whitesnake in there...^^ Marco Mendoza and Tommy Aldridge

[kathyuk28]

Yeah, and where is WHITESNAKE today? Tawney Kitean = Yoko Ono

[guitarist612]

hey deluxe... perhaps you would like to try my dick in your mouth! who have you fucking played for?

[domnal]

@guitarist612 I hope you don't kiss your mother with that bucket mouth !!

[Uszol002]

to jest gówno :)

[kalapita1]

Co to jest!!!!?

[tun875]

Nothing but a podunk bar band doing a cover.

[danethical]

We could get the greatest musicians live today and form a band called "Thin Lizzy". But what a waste of time it would be. There will never be a Thin Lizzy without Philip Parris Lynott.

[rockerstar101]

it's good to see the Thin Lizzy Legasy still going!

[elmatadorwangmachino]

Also Marco needs to stay out of the girls' pants section.

[elmatadorwangmachino]

Thin Lizzy wasn't just Phil Lynott, it was Brian Downey as well. He was very important to the arrangement and feel of the music and was in the first incarnation of the band.

[DeluxeReissue]

God this is awful.

Lynott was Lizzy.

Sykes to me was the WORST guitarist in Lizzy - he's just a cock rock wanker who wants to twiddle his awful sounding guitar over everything. What a joke.

If they toured under the name "A Tribute to Thin Lizzy" or something similar I wouldn't have a problem, but this is just money grabbing shit.

I'll be honest - only a complete DICKHEAD would think this is great.

[douk234]

I know Phil is not there but come on they do a very fine job.

[bigdav47]

I'm afraid Phil Lynott was Thin Lizzy!

[flipperfeat9]

You are so right my friend....Saw them with Queen at Madison Sq Garden around 1976.....No Phil No thin lizzy

[talkingtaco2]

well i was there 2 m8... me and my brother caught pics thrown by steve morse who played with Deep Purple later that night =D

[SabuPtolemy]

Why can't people take this for what it is? It's Sykes and Gorham keeping the Lizzy legacy alive in a live setting and with it turn a new generation on to Phil's music. There is nothing wrong with that. I can think of a dozen other classic metal and rock bands that only have 1 original member left and nobody is telling them to stop playing.

[DeluxeReissue]

But SabuPtolemy - you miss the big point. Phil Lynott was ONE of the GREATEST frontmen around. Watch an old video of Thin Lizzy and you just wish you were there. Lynott's charisma is unbelievable.

As a huge Lizzy fan I just find this embarrassing and disgusting - if they changed the name I wouldn't have a problem. They go to no effort to differentiate from the past. Even Brian Robertson and Brian Downey rate this as a complete fucking joke.

[SabuPtolemy]

Well, nobody thinks this is as good as Lizzy with Phil. OBVIOUSLY. But, this is all we got. Take it or leave. Brian Downey decided he no longer wanted to tour - whether he thinks this is a joke is irrelevant. He didn't when he was part of it in '96/'97. As for Robbo: Remind me what he's done in the last 25 years that means anything. He's still living off his Lizzy fame and hasn't managed 1 lousy record except for The Clan EP. That's gotta be some sort of record for futility and laziness.

[getyoursfree]

Too right nij. Poor example of derivative shite. See it every week, glad Phil's not alive to see this. He'd a kicked fu*k outta these boys. Sleep well my man.

[nijrose]

I saw the real Thin Lizzy live seven times and I've seen this 'version' - they are terrible. Gorham doesn't play in the same style anymore and Sykes is a poor frontman. Even Brian Downey won't play with this band now. It's not about keepoinng the legend alive - it's about an easy payday.

[enddogmanow]

No, this is not Lizzy - maybe it would be closer if Brian Robertson was there instead of Sykes, but no Phil, No lizzy - Oh, well, as long as people are enjoying it and the ageing musos can still earn a quid :)

[DanielMacker]

Limehouse Lizzy for me, honour Phil Lynotts life, music and soul more than any other.. even the actual Thin Lizzy.

Thin Lizzy should've followed the lead of Led Zep and realised that although the person you've lost isn't the entire band, they're irreplacable and therefore the band should not continue. Thin Lizzy of old are legends, the thin lizzy that are going today, i have no idea who's in the band or anything. Just call it a day.

[vcoaster]

This is NOT Thin Lizzy. It's some cover band, and not a very good one. If the band thinks it can call itself Thin Lizzie minus Phil Lynott they are sadly mistaken.

[dfgames]

its not thin lizzy man, really!

[IronMaidenUllevi2008]

Of Course it's not the same without Phil, you can say that he was Thin Lizzy.

But atleast some of you guys should be happy that they're still touring, 22 years after Phils death. Thin Lizzy is classic rock that will last forever. Nowadays there aren't many good bands coming up and to see a Thin Lizzy consert today might not be as good as in the 70-80's but they are by far better than those new bands coming up today. They keep the rock alive! Long live Thin Lizzy :)

Sorry for the bad english.

[zackscruggs]

it just not the same without phil

[madmorris12]

ahhh i was there

[elguanchez]

I'm a huge Lizzy fan, I miss Philo a lot but Thin Lizzy doesn't deserve to die. I like what Scott Gorham and John Sykes are doing. They are just keeping it Alive.

[RandyRocketRaZa]

Fuckin' awesome!

[theledzeppguy]

Sure Phil was a legend, but can't you all just appreciate the fact that the rest of the band is still keeping it up?

[tocko92]

lizzy without phil? how can they call themselves thin lizzy without him?

[arod1989]

Why is it dreadful? You think it sounds bad..........not possible dude. You must be one of those dickheads that tries to listen with their eyes and goes on and on about nostagic bullshit like a drunken GnR fan. Phil was awesome and I could'nt imagine any other musicians to carry on his legacy.

[flyinbryan63]

Sad.........................

[FLORENT2222]

in your opinion, what is the most important ? music ? or the band ?

[berryfp]

absolutely dreadful

[GeorgeSandle]

The Crowd sound happy :)

[fenderstratgirl]

yes the crowd were very happy that night :) i was there an extreemly happy :) hah :) was amazing night

[benthomasherr]

JS does Rock !!!

[D0DGECHARGERFAN]

RIP PHIL, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTEN!

[kiaranono]

RIP PHIL

[shimanobait]

thin lizzy died with phil! Rip phil!

[xIMPERIALx]

look it may not be lizzy, but these guys are doing their best to keep Lizzy's music alive, so the music doesnt die. John Sykes is brilliant, how come it took 2 guitarists to fill his spot in Whitesnake? And if you think he sucks, listen to the songs he done when Phil was alive! Pure amazing! But i dont think he should sing for them, get Gary moore in!

[skot66]

well said mate!

[alhigh1]

i completely agree with everything you just said!

[icanfeelthepressureX]

Scott should be ashamed letting Thin Lizzy be represnted by this Pub Band, John Sykes sucks!!!!

[EJWW]

R.I.P. phil

[hadd13]

Phil was Thin Lizzy

[Metal4metal]

Indeed.

[flyinbryan63]

Oh, ok your telling me everyone like sykes better than coverdale Ok?

[philcogsy]

sykes is a little bit stiff

[flyinbryan63]

Sykes just sucks...the guy is on an ego trip from mars.....I'm suprised Scott even put up with this mess must be for cash,No wonder Coverdale got Doug Aldridge for the Snake tour.

[BodDude]

Dude, the reason Coverdale kicked him cause everyone like Sykes better than him and he hated him for that so obviously he wouldnt bring him back. Sykes fucking ROCKS!!

[sergito7777]

The bass player and the drummer played with David Coverdale on Whitesnake's Still of the Night tour.

[evelskunny]

this is not thin lizzy,not even fuking close

[tamadrummer20]

[Tskeoch]

John skyes is a pretty good fill in for phill. If you close your eyes you can just about beleive its the real thing. Scott gorham can SHRED!!!!!!

[harveyalex]

[biclette]

With so many tribute acts around it good to see people playing music that they actually had a real part in. Rock on Lizzy.

[drumtum]

They are a great rockband, but it´s like someone is missing. It doesn´t work without Phil. Sorry! RIP Phil.

[gothichalbin]

i was there :D

[JoePlaysGuitar44]

dude spudalmighty a band isnt the same when they get a new frontman... phil was the mane, so suck my cock

[Titon000]

thin lizzy ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­K

[Tskeoch]

gonna see them in december, this vids a releif the singers a good enough followup for phil, was worried theyd have a shit new singer

[41iddaw]

Like Motorhead without Lemmy.

[jamesboltmore]

SpudAlmighty calls phil lynott a dead cunt.

what a fucker rotter i bet he sucks cock for a living what a fucking rent boy full of aids. ps your a cock

[bongobeef]

he did throw the bottle it was my piss i know i pissed it

[loulie72]

By the way my son was at this concert, and he had an amazing time!!

[loulie72]

Hail Spud!!! LOL!! What you said there is spot on, nice one!! Seems james IS too far up somewhere, beyond infact. Poppy also, your'e point was a good one too...I mean, c'mon, The Doors without Jim Morrison, Queen and no Freddie, and of course the AMAZING Pink Floyd, but with no Roger OR Sid, they still do it!! Like Lizzy and Purple too, obviously james knows that or else why go and see them in the first place. I bet he would still go and see Take That with no Robbie fecking Williams! Huh James?

[purplepoppy24]

LOVE IT SPUD! EXCELLENT LOULIE.xx

[slagmilkcard]

So you hail someone who calls Phil Lynott a cunt and requests someone sucks his dick! Wow some intelligence level you have!

[loulie72]

Look, besides the cunt and the dicksucking, he made a valid point!! Or do you disagree? I'd be interested to know.....

[slagmilkcard]

Well deciphering his point, and reacting to it, I would say Thin Lizzy without Lynott is like Nirvana without Kurt Cobain. I wouldnt pay money to see a watered down version personally, others would. I suspect asking people if they could name a member of the original Thin Lizzy, people would name Lynott and not know any of the other band members, only Lynott was significant!

[purplepoppy24]

Same could be said for knowing any band members, of any band unless your an avid fan. Scott Goreham and John Sykes were and still ARE the original band members, They're not replacing Phil at all,.just carrying on his memory...Phil would have wanted them to play on,so his memory can live on WITH THE BAND.. and what better way to remember him and pay tribute to him,they also paid personal tribute to him on the night, THEY WERE AWESOME, they done him proud..

[tinkerbell9280]

i saw Thin Lizzy live just 3 days ago on Nibe festival, in denmark. i wouldn't call the concert that night for watered down. The whole fucking forest was rocking, they made a fantastic show! Phil would have been proud ;) cheers

[slagmilkcard]

Not disputing they can play, and they can put on a great show. Imagine if Phil had been there or what sort of back catalogue they would have had , had he have lived. How big a band would Thin Lizzy have become? All hearsay, but such a shame he died so young, and I am sure the boys are doing him proud!

[FluffyCandyGirl]

@slagmilkcard I've been the same like you. But when I was on INXS without Michael H. show wasn't so bad. I know there is nobody who would replace Lynott, but when you are on the concert you can hear musicans who worked with Lynott! So... if you didn't catch Lynott live on stage - is this (for it is!) oprtunity to feel (a little bit) ob Lynott live even we know he is gone a long time ago!

[domnal]

@FluffyCandyGirl The only original is Scott Gorham !! I think he is the " Brand "owner . What ever happened to Brian Robertson and Brian Downey ? But even if you had all the guitarists who were ever in Thin Lizzy and the original drummer it still would not be Lizzy !! I blame Phil Lynott for accidentally off-ing himself - silly person!!

Could he not see what we would have to endure without him !! Take a note of what I've said 'cos there ain't no rock'n'roll when you're dead !!

[gh9448]

@domnal Scott Gorham is not an original member-original members were Phil(of course)Brian Downey, and Eric Bell.

[SpudAlmighty]

"phil lynott was thinlizzy!" incase you havent noticed you stupid shit thin lizzy wasn't a one man band. But im guessing you're too far up the dead cunts ass to even care. Think you're ruining something particulary fun and enjoyable for Thin Lizzy fans. Phil was ONE member of Thin Lizzy... that's hard to understand isn't it you primitive screwhead.

Hail to the king baby - or just suck my dick!

[berryfp]

idiot

[purplepoppy24]

can I ask you why did you go see him if you hate him?

he didn't have a bottle thrown at him in this concert, I was in the front, he was directly infront of me, like about 15foot if that, as you can see,..

[jamesboltmore]

I didnt go to see Thin Lizzy, I went to see Deep Purple, and I hate everyone! I launched that bottle of piss when you blinked!

[purplepoppy24]

I didn't blink!! you lie!!and if that's your attitude, you could say Deep Purple are not Deep Purple with out Richie Blackmore, Jon Lord,etc,infact Ian Pace only original left.!!,...[I'm not dissing them, they're awesome.]

[jamesboltmore]

Mendoza is a cont! I hate him, I launched a bottle of piss at his head!

[taekwongr]

They are great, Phil is proud watching them playing his songs to the new and older genre.

[BURGERBUMP]

yea not the same so im sodded of too and dead.

[SpudAlmighty]

stop living in the past, It's the real Thin Lizzy cause well as you can see it's Thin Lizzy. So i guess if you can't bring your head into 2007 and realise Phil is dead and cant come back I guess you can sod off and die.

[jamesboltmore]

Not the Real Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott was Thin Lizzy! Get a grip you idiot!

[NouveauGod]

Sykesy is SUPBERB!

[FREELOADER55]

Tommy Aldridge is back! Sweet I saw them in 2000 with this line-up it was great,

[fenderstratgirl]

i was there!!!
