Honesty Is No Excuse - Thin Lizzy Philip Lynott

[yaueue]

my favorite song from this album!

[247Therocker]

One of my favorite Lizzy songs. As I watch this and listen to the great words of Phil Lynott, the tears come easy. I was 9 years old when I heard The Boys are Back In Town. I have been into many bands over the past 44 years of my life but only once have I ever gotten a tribute tattoo to one of them. That tatto was to the "Wild One" himself, Philip Parris Lynott. RIP Phil. I miss your words and music everyday. \m/ \m/

He is everything to me,i thank my bro Tommy for bein the image of Philo ,I was six when Philo died, still have a private cry every January in homage. Gettin married next year to my dream man, but at what point do i play this favourite song of mine?

[metamorphosis67]

I don't care what anybody says. The first Thin Lizzy album is their rawest, most soulful, most jamming & greatest. And this is the best song off that album & by extentsion, the ultimate song in the entire Thin Lizzy catalogue.

This may be my favorite Thin Lizzy song ever...Eric Bell was such an underrated guitar player...and they generated so many great, inspiring guitar players, each with their own identity and style, but I think a lot of folks overlook the first 3 albums too often...classic tune, ty so much for posting...

This song brings back back memories for me that i haven't even had yet. And it makes me sad because i never got to actually be with the decade of kids i know i belong with. i'm 16.

MASTERPIECE

[MrTinlizzy]

i have just read all comments on here,, proper lizzy fans, i agree with you all,, what a total genious phil was eh, and then,,, gary moore,, eric,, and brian,, then scott,, what a band

[atavachron61]

I saw this fella half a dozen times in the 70's...Had all his LP's ...still have them.All my mates were into Quo and Queen..they didn't see Lizzy.

No one else makes me sad to see and hear them...Phil was a total genius.Sarah..my only daughter was named you know why.The man was before his time.A poet that sang the words.I keep coming back to Phil Lynott.

[extendedbluefoot]

funny the second album is probably my fav of the first three, from the opening funky song to chat today and brought down. shades itself if a great song once you give in to the vibe. anyway this is in fact a great song and makes me remember what a lyricist phil was before he got too far gone and just became a rhymer as opposed to a poet. and eric bell man what can you say bout his solo here (and off randolps tango off this album too.). greatly overlooked first three albums. nightlife too.

[primaltriad]

I love this!!!! This is one of my favorite songs period. It's a shame that the band's first 3 albums are often overlooked. I think they showcase Phil's talent even more than the later records partly because he was so young and already so good. I mean he was probably 21 or 22 when he wrote this song, right? Can you imagine being so young and writing lyrics like this? Amazing. Great video, great pics, great sound. Thanks!
