Thin Lizzy - I Need You

[TheMichaelseymour]

i am only 46 .....and i love the old music ...i dont like the new stuff .

[stomp919]

Well I have thew domestic USA issues of Thin Lizzys first three albums along with the box set VangaBONDS wARRIORS kINGS AND aNGELS AND I JUST recieved the first three Lizzys on Japan SHM-cd which sound fantastic. But no I need you. The vagabond long box and the Japanese Thin Lizzy have The Farmer but no I need You. Thanks for putting this up. Your cooler than the record companies because they must feel this is too inferior to put on CD. Been a fan of the early trio Thin Lizzy since the early 80s

@stomp919 BTW Jailbreak rules!

THANK YOU; for uploading thin lizzy's b-side of their debut single and the opportunity to hear the early days of Ireland's greatest rock band!

@kwakedesigns As a Lizzy fan since 1978 I'd hardly call them an Irish band.

[kwakedesigns]

@whitbyjet65 Brian Downey and Phil Lynott are Irish (both from Dublin) and founded the band in Dublin. Bell and Wrixon are from Belfast. Lynott was influenced by an tain ( a collection of Irish Folklore) and based many songs on those stories. So thats four members from the Island of Ireland.....

If that's not an Irish band then what is it?

[whitbyjet65]

@kwakedesigns Phil Lynott was actually born in England & had a Brazilian father. Yes the band sang about some Irish themes but they also sang about Chinatown & Hollywood etc. As the band included Scots, Americans & English, it's somewhat strange to class the entire band, Thin Lizzy, as being Irish. Is Scott Gorham suddenly NOT from California?

[DirkjeA]

@whitbyjet65 The Brazilian father is a hoax, actually his father was from Nigeria but for some reason only Phil knew he kept this "Brazilian tale" alive. But really, his father came from Africa.

[whitbyjet65]

@DirkjeA Yeah I know about this but the fact is, his father wasn't Irish.

[DirkjeA]

@whitbyjet65 Yes, you are right, and I totally agree with you that Thin Lizzy is often mistaken for an all time Irish Band. I just wanted to tell his father was from Nigeria.

[19ARSENAL100]

@DirkjeA Actually his father was Guianese (if thats the correct spelling)

[DirkjeA]

@19ARSENAL100 That could be true, but at least he was African and no South American. And the right spelling if your are an Englishman maybe, however my dictionary says Guyanese, I think both is possible. In Dutch it is Guinese lol.

[19ARSENAL100]

@DirkjeA Actually now i've seen your spelling i know mine was wrong haha,mine almost says guinness,the famous Irish stout.

[DirkjeA]

@19ARSENAL100 Oh well I am more a fan of Heineken, however guinness will be great too, it is not very common here, so I must visit the Irish Pub here nearby if I want to taste it. Lots of nice things are from Ireland btw, think of Rory Gallagher.... so guinness will give just as much joy as Heineken does (sometimes, if not for the morning after ;-))

[Kenmorfdublin]

@19ARSENAL100 No, the correct spelling is Guinness.

[19ARSENAL100]

@Kenmorfdublin Ok mate capital G,i stand corrected.lol

[whitbyjet65]

@kwakedesigns I'm well aware that Phil was proud of his Irish roots. Nothing wrong with that but to claim Thin Lizzy were an Irish band just isn't true. Brian Robertson, Scot Gorham, Snowy White, John Sykes, Darren Wharton weren't Irish but were all a big part of Lizzy.

[nottoberemembered]

This is fantastic, I wonder how different the classic Lizzy lineup sound would be if Wrixon on organ never left, Bell's guitar here is amazing.

[JamesParkour731]

Thanks man, this song isn't on any of their other albums is it?

[ethan9456]
