Thin Lizzy - Cold Sweat (1982 Demo)

[tady45]

Chills, every time I hear the guitars, old fucks like Adrian Vandenberg and Ynwie, thrived off this shit.

[chubbyau01]

awesome!



[ufomsg1]

Oh Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperRowdyone]

lizzy rules

[Marshallsatten]

I'm just here to listen to the music. Music is a developing thing, and it's difficult to have millions of songs without some sounding similar. I'm definitely not here to say who is heavier than whom, I just want to hear more music. There are many songs i have yet to hear.

[Marshallsatten]

Sykes tears up the guitar again. This must be right after he left Tygers of Pan Tang.

[MrDBLSROCKS]

GREAT PHOTO !

[smwatkins72]

Wow, oh wow. To hear this now is like listening to Phil singing from the beyond. I FUCKING LOVE THIS. Even just 2 more albums from this lineup would have set the music world on it's collective ear and changed rock music forever. What could have fucking been....

[TheLastSeduction]

We LOVE this song! check out our cover! :)

[Drewcole314]

I like a Lizzy videos before I actually watch them because I already know they are gonna be badassss!!

[ozgood69]

i would like to see this concert with lizzy in their prime . 

[zardozkid]

THE IRISH BOYS DRAW ROCK!!!

[TurboThrash]

Fucking awesome nothing more can be said

[cbxade]

Jump in the fire my arse. Thin Lizzy rock

[DirtyBillClinton]

FUCK THIS IS AMAZING

[mobster260]

soundjoke?

[kpytoi1]

You commentators or should I call u color guys are out in the woods smoking Tshernobyl pot.

Metallica easily took spices from this.

And many other bands.

[blacksabfan]

@kpytoi1

So do the hipster doofuses always spell Chernobyl "Tshernobyl"?

Anyway, no one is disagreeing that Metallica was influenced by Lizzy, but the argument that Lizzy stole "Jump In the Fire" (or vice versa) is idiotic, which is I deleted all the dialogue from it prior to your comment.

I also have to take umbrage with this condescension about 'commentators' and 'color guys'. You sound like a fucking snob, and you commenting on it makes you no better than anyone else.

[Marshallsatten]

@blacksabfan Tshernobyl is Ukrainian for Chernobyl.

[blacksabfan]

@Marshallsatten

But he wasn't speaking Ukrainian. He was speaking English.

[Bridgebain]

Sykes shreds

[egambrellis]

@Umaiketsu metallica ripped off a lot of bands in the early days not only thin lizzy but also holocaust and other british bands

[blacksabfan]

@egambrellis

Oh, for fuck's sake. It's called "coincidence" people. Metallica didn't rip off Cold Sweat because it didn't exist yet, and Thin Lizzy didn't rip off Metallica because they never heard of them, let alone Jump In the Fire.

And that's assuming they even sound the similar, which they really don't. Can we move on now...

[Keyo717]

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS TO WALK THE PLANET....R.I.P. Phil

[mcscoober]

fuck what it sounds like......sit back and enjoy...........lizzy at their best. hope phil and ronnie are writing some good tunes in the skies. Some gig that'll be

[OSoder]

Thin Lizzy is good to

[metalmillita666]

@Umaiketsu it kinda does

[TheDracoDawn]

Ok for one I play guitar, Dragons of Anarchy go check it out, just to prove my creds,

I had to go give listen to jump in the fire cause I was not familiar with it, so I could understand how some could believe that but come on this is Thin Lizzy and usually older dose inspire younger, even in my plying, and I am 40 something, Dick Dale, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, those that came before me you can hear in my music what a great tribute to those who inspire

[TheCommando2000]

it should have brazilian blood 'n magic in it!

[RaunchyRocker]

Stop talkin' Bollux - You're all Fuckin' Twats ! Listen to The Fuckin' Rock !

[DrStraightup]

Thanks for all the material blacksabfan. I've had hours of pleasure listening to the vids etc. Yea, I'm old enough to have seen the real thing back in the 70's but lost track of em in the 80's. Wish I'd seen the line up with Sykes in it. Someone commented that John was a rock cock. I tell you, if I could play like he did,,, I'd be a rock cock too! Anyway man. Thank you from a Lizzy fan, since I first heard em. Still in love with ya Philo.

[MrChristopheFrance]

GOOD SONG REALLY..!!!

[borntobewildpascal]

this song ROCKS ......... thin lizzy ca rock

[doddydays]

wooooop woooooooop :D

[blacksabfan]

Pure accident, although I don't think they sound that much alike, and you certainly dont play them anything alike.

It's not like anyone copied each other, Lynott/Sykes and Mustaine are on different continents in 1982, and the former never even knew the later existed. All you conspiracy theorists need to let it go and just accept that a lot of songs have similar chord structures and melodies. Not a big deal.

[Bundloc]

maaan

look at me.. pleasee

little bit attentioon:

THAT song was the fuckin preview of jump in the fire...

ANYONE could listen the similarity.

get it?

so damn simple ..

[AJAnewage]

@Bundloc erm this was prob written and recorded b4 that lol

[BarriosGroupie]

This was the only heavy piece Thin Lizzy did because of the new guitarist they recruited

[blacksabfan]

Emerald was pretty heavy. Killer on the Loose had some heaviness. Angel of Death, despite the keyboards, was a heavy track. Lots of tracks besides this one on T&L were heavy...namely the title track, Holy War, and This Is the One.

[voyager00924]

@blacksabfan

THUNDER & LIGHTNING IS THE HEAVIEST. You should know that.

[blacksabfan]

@voyager00924

OK.

[kleo8577]

I got the money in the suit case.....

[stormriderWI]

@Paradisecity1992 c'mon it's '82, metal is well established by then...

[Paradisecity1992]

WELL established? No way, never heard about "the big four"? Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. They were all founded around 81-83 - so this is still some of the first

[stormriderWI]

@Paradisecity1992 ummm....the big 4 is not nearly the start of metal....it's the start of thrash, pretty much. Here's a list of metal bands that had material out before '82: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Rainbow, UFO, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Riot, Saxon, Accept, Venom, Anvil, Diamond Head, Samson, Angel Witch, Motorhead, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Blitzkrieg, Ozzy, Raven, Pentagram, and many many others.

[nostalgikeren]

The first metal band was Blue Cheer or Black Sabbath depending on you own view. The first real commercial one of the "metal generation" was probably Judas Priest.

[voneijavert]

Thanks!!! For this especial moment .

[einaroneeye]

Pretty cool...interesting to hear the differences.

[AJAnewage]

this is such a good song

[greatleahart]

[UpbeatBarracuda]

[adreenal]

Sweet, nice one, gonna sing & play the album version tonight!!

[HeadFukt]

wot album is it from,please tell me i love this song

[adreenal]

Its from Thunder & Lightning,first album with John Sykes on guitar, enjoy.

[HeadFukt]

thanx alot man,i shall b gettin hold of it

[tvset08]

very badass thanks for this epic find!

[codyhilborn]

Really solid demo

Unbelieveable solo

[Banner1979]

True, metal is not what it was back then. Lizzy's music certainly became heavier when John Sykes joined them. Before that, they were more of a hard rock band, especially during the Robbo era.

[Banner1979]

wHAT A SIZZLING DEMO! THE MOMENT LIZZY TURNED METAL!

[mantatnam]

if you call this metal i guess you dont listen to metal nowdays....i love thin lizzy so i dont call them metal becouse i dont want to connect them with anything that metal respresents nowdays....

[metalshed]

Which bands 'represent metal' then?Just because-lets say- 'old' Sabbath don't sound like what you think constitutes metal-then they aren't metal too i suppose?Knob.

[seangleeson86]

sounds small bit like the ultimate warrior entrance song

[D0DGECHARGERFAN]

R.I.P Phil :'(

[synnott08]

man thin lizzy are just the greatest thing ever

[gabrielafann1992]

I love all the covers and this and the oficial song from cold sweat..thanks for the material

[tyu198]

t&l was done in a studio... what a pitty.

[niggaman]

great demo! ty for uploading!

[ThePlagueNeverDies]

El cover que hace sodom es bueno escuchenlo :)

[maxisyourmum]

Nah. Im not into Nickleback. :/

You guys should listen to somthing called METAL!!!!!!!!!

Metal;Somthing that beats the crap out of Thin Lizzy. Metallica,Motorhead,Iron Maiden.

Though i have to say nice solo to this song. :)

[anter881]

and what is this reggae?

[Ianincali]

Metallica? Better than Lizzy? Yeah they are so 'metal' they even covered an old Irish FOLK song made famous by Thin Lizzy called 'Whiskey In The Jar'. Ring any bells moron?

[maxisyourmum]

Truth to be told. I hate that song. Even Metallicas version. Thin Lizzy are bad. Face it.

[blacksabfan]

You realize that the three bands you mentioned have all covered Lizzy songs, and one of them even brought in a former member of Lizzy to do an album?

It seems to me your issue has more to do with music genre than Lizzy being bad. Lizzy is a hard rock band. They weren't metal. If you like metal then this isn't the place for you. That said, they influenced tons of metal bands, and the fact that they are still revered by these same bands means a lot more than your piddly-ass opinion.

[maxisyourmum]

Listen my mate recomended them to me. I listend to them. I didn't like them. Fair Enough. My favourite band is Avenged Sevenfold. So you have anything to say about them?

[blacksabfan]

If your favorite band is Avenged Sevenfold...then you're already musically lost. I don't like as many new bands, but there's a few good ones around. A7X is NOT one of them. They are corporate pop-metal.

By the way, your mate has good taste.

[maxisyourmum]

Wow..... I was right....

Everylittle thing i say is "Musically Lost"??

[blacksabfan]

No. Read it again.

So is this the only Lizzy tune you listened to before you made your assessment, which by the way is a alternate version demo of the album track? Like I said before, if you don't like straight up hard rock, without a bunch of frills and shit, just solid songwriting and instrumentation, then you won't like Thin Lizzy. It's not metal, they aren't new, and they are certainly nothing like Ax7 (thank fucking god).

[blacksabfan]

A7x. Excuse me for being shitty with acronyms (which that's not even technically one, but close enough).

[maxisyourmum]

No.. I listend to a lot of Thin Lizzy.. To be in fact im going to see them live....If i like Iron Maiden...Metallica and so on why wouldnt i like old music??...

[blacksabfan]

You already named those bands. I'm starting to get the impression you have a limited music catalogue...which sort of brings me back to my original point. You said Lizzy are bad. What's the basis for that? You listened to 5 songs one time and didn't like any of them? Did you think saying that in the comments section here was going to change people's minds? If people show up here to watch, it's because they like the band. You don't, and that would be ok, but yet you keep coming back...why?

[maxisyourmum]

OMG!!

They are so bad.

[anter881]

go listen to your nickelback or something like that

THIS IS RRROCK!!!!!

[hendrixkixas]

Then why are you watching this? These are legends and you can shut up if you think you're gonna change anyone's mind. btw omg A7X is so bad.

[gogormetal]

Me encanta esta cancion!!!!!!!!!!

[djfeltersnatch]

Hell Yeah bust that wedge

[manos33]

i think that the solo is exactly the same with the one on the album with less efects...

[Dzhasmin]

:) nice...  :)

[RatherStupid]

cool! not better than the original, but not bad at all!

[slavemale2]

Phil seems to take the vocal in a higher key than the more familiar version. Apart from that I personally don't hear a big difference between this "take" and the finished article that we all know so well. This is probably my favourite track from T&L, and it's damn good to hear this version of it. Sterling work as always Sabfan

[blacksabfan]

Musically it's all the same. I think there's a lot of difference in the lyrics. I put them up in the description. There's no "stone cold sober and stone cold sweat/runnin' down the back of my neck" or "to lose means trouble/to win pays double". The ideas are there, but the this lyric isn't quite fleshed out enough as a lot of the verses repeat the same lines.

[flametop93]

Nice work BSF! ... yes, Syksie's guitar solo sounds identical too. . . it really is remarkable just what a differrence the lyrics, singing and scanning/phrasing whatever can make!!

[tweum]

Brilliant

[renegadeexpress1983]

Thank's alot sabfan! I enjoy it very much dude keep on rocking it's the only way!

[son6ics]

Thank´s a lot Sabfan! Once again, you´ve made my day! I´m listening to this with a great big smile on my face. I really love the demos! I could easily spend a couple of days and nights just listening to the difference between the demoversions and the final alb.versions. Hope you have a great weekeend and I hope for more gems to come in the near future! Thanx again man!!
