@804pillow Yeah on second glance- -- I'm more used to the Lizzy of Bad Reputation era, when Scott's hair was long and a different color, (who I DO recognize here, now), can't really SEE Brian Downey, and Snowy White was almost a *blink* not there, now here, not there, in the lineup of the 13 years of the band, if you catch the meaning.
A real treasure. For me ,Lizzy was one of the greatest live bands ever , one in a row with Led Zeppelin.Phil was a fullblood musican. I love him so. He was a very carismatic frontman. I hope, i see all me Idols in heaven
I disagree, I liked Snowy in Lizzy. The guitarist who didn't fit (in my opinion) was John Sykes. He was too heavy metal. Snowy was more bluesy which suited Lizzy.
i must agree with bluesugarmonkey. but be sure to check out "samantha" or "please dont leave me". both are phil feat. sykes. its much more mellow and melodic than the thunder album. might change your mind about sykes..
Agree completely Sykes isn't Lizzy far too "metal".Sad that Robertson can't play anymore his performance on the One Night In Dublin dvd with Gary Moore prove this it's sad to see and hear a great talent lose it like he has.
Is the bar of 5.4 and 3/4 (at the end of phrases) unique to Lizzy? If so - very special! Love this...

Johnny Winter's version surpasses this by far, IMO. Thin Lizzy's interpretaion is ok, but Johnny makes it work.

Snowy was great for Lizzy. He added a different texture. His mellow blues fitted in perfectly with Lizzy's sound.

Well...phil wrote most material so what snowy gave to the band was his stage precense...and that wasen´t much. But a good guitar player yes.

Memory Pain is a great blues tune, but this song is by another blues artist--John Lee Hooker--and the title is "Serve Me Right To Suffer."
