And can now see how much he was under the influence of heroin while performing, he justs looks so bad...:(, I really hate heroin for taking him away from us he had so much potential, im just glad his music lives in and I can pass on to my children, thanks for the music.
Im 27 and grew up listening through my parents thin lizzy, at the time I never really took an interest and was none the wiser, it was only until I reached 27 and started listening to the music my parents listened to I can now see why!, maybe its because music sucks today and this is real music?, I LOVE thin lizzy, this song in particular has a lot of sadness about it because it was the last song I listened to before researching phils death...continued
@TheMaka456 - Do yourself a favor. Play "Spirit Slips Away" from the Fighting album at a medium volume in your IPod going around in town.. when it's totally dark. You'll thank me later =)
He wrote this about his addiction to Heroin...!! Muppets ! Have some respect for his honesty...he was well past saving at this point...but I loved him !
love this song love this band the tour they were on then i saw them in bradford it was my first ever concert what a great start. the only thing i never liked about lizzy is wharton and that annoying keyboard i'd like to break it over his head.
Gods no doubt, easily one of my top 5 favorite Lizzy tracks, and Gorham is f*cking brilliant, his solos are so well written and played, SO much more sole than Sykes, bloody phenomenal band though, they will always be one of my favorite bands and top influences with my own music, LONG LIVE THIN LIZZY!!!
everytime I hear this song... Phil's singing voice communicates that his drug problem had reached a point of no return and that he would be dead soon, but that the fans should should take solace in the fact his music will live on. And when I hear "the sun goes down" it basically says to me an era of music is ending... that era being Phil Lynott's. I have a feeling he knew Thunder and Lightning would be Lizzy's last recording...
One of the many great songs that shows the depth of Thin Lizzy. Powerful, NOT heavy, dark, thoughtful, meaningful. Love it. Too bad the album versions of the Thunder and Lightning songs were mixed so badly. But the live versions show how great it was...
This song is a masterpiece. Huge atmosphere, huge emotion...And welcome all drummers around the world to try capture this pulsating excellence by Brian Downey...
My 15 year son thinks Lizzy blows away the current band of popsters. They were truly great and I hope Phil gets the recognition he deserves in music history, I last saw him in Grand Slam in 1984 at the London School of Economics; there were only a couple of hundred people there. But something not to be forgotten. Fantastic talent.
This song is indeed very meaningful. A few months ago, I found out some things that deeply hurt me and this song just played over and over in my head. Made everything better. Apparently other people have had similar stories & found themselves relating to this song.
Anyways, great song. I mostly like 70s Thin Lizzy, but this is definitely in my top 10 Lizzy songs.
Sung with feeling while fighting those inner demons. Lucky enough to see them in 1979 and that memory will never fade, i have never stopped listening and never will. I just can understand how so many say they were under rated, the Lizzy name lives on, even my teenage daughter and her mates have them on their Ipods. Just wish Grand Slam took off for Phil, check out some of those live tracks folks they were bloody good, long live the Lizzy name.
I love this song and i Miss This Man Everyday!I am Captivated By His Spell!!!!How could you not be!!!!!Love him forever!!!!! I just hate to watch this because he looks so bad and it brakes my heart to see him like this!Still In Love With You Phil Lynott
U2 may be a top band by 1990's standards, but if there hadn't been Lizzy, we'd never have seen U2 grow to any prominence whatsoever. Lizzy paved the way for any other Irish band to really go out and get noticed by the world.
Thin Lizzy....best band to come out of Ireland.The beautiful guitar playing so amazing....Listen to their songs so much....Lucky to see them live in Hammersmith odeon in London in the 70s.Phil Lynott never forgotten he was the greatest rocker his beautiful irish voice....such Happy memories he was so brilliant live on stage and his passion for music lives on forever in his beautiful songs.Happy St Patricks day to Thin Lizzy.Great video and most gorgeous song...one of my favourite songs ever.
thin lizzy lives no matter what happened, or will happen... i am Greek from Athens, i know that Ireland have big problems too.. but "we will be strong" !!!! Thank you Ireland
I saw them at sheffield city hall on their Thunder and lightening tour in 1983. They were my top band and i`ve still got about 6-7 albums on vinyl, i must get a turn table.
I saw them at Newcastle City Hall 1976 (or was it '77?) they were spectacular.
I was deaf with a ringing in my ears for 3 days. They were only matched by
QUEEN a decade later at St James' Park August 1986. I wish I had both concerts in a Genie bottle to keep forever to get out and re-live and enjoy over and over again ... ?
@notrut queen out there on there own not a band ever as good as queen live saw them in 82,84,86 and the last in 86 was out this world but lizzy in 83 was the only band to come close to queen they was way before there time great singer great songs im just glad i saw them both lizzy r and always will b one of the best band of all time and much much better than that shit u2 not in the same class as lizzy
@QueenMMTD Thanks for feedback QueenMMTD, I'm off to see Paul Rodgers at Newcastle Arena tomorrow night, hope he is up to his Free, Bad Company era and dare I say it, his Queen stand-in period?!?
There is new music that is good but I can ASSURE you that very few get to write and produce on their own, almost every band these days hire a producer that basically writes their songs. I have been in this business for 15 years now...there are very few bands that are allowed to make their own material. The label pays and expect a return therefore they decide what songs go out. It is all an act. Even Metallica did this with Enter Sandman...nothing wrong with it, on the contrary...
@thesinfulnature Actually there are quite a few cds I listen to more than 10 times a day. "I am not a human being" by Lil Wayne...."The Final Frontier"-Iron Maiden...I watch the Rock In Rio dvd every morning when I wake up to get my day started off right.....listen Thin Lizzy was amazing it's a shame I will never get to see them live, But to insult recent music is ignorant and close minded. There are several recent/newer bands that make amazing music and have amazing live shows. Open your ears.
@mattisgod1234 totally agreee with your comment ..but i would have to say there wouldn't be to many of the newer amazing live acts that will be looked back upon in 30yrs with the same fondness as Phil and the boys .
@mattisgod1234 i totally agree with your comment but i would think there wouldn't be many of the amazing newer live band who would be looked back on in 30 yrs with as much fondness as Phil and the boys .
love u coment , i really want to chat with u , i agree what u say 110%, i know is dificult to contact persons u dont know , but let try. i m also a musician , living in berlin germany........
well u can see me at "metallic rooster" in the tattoo convention berlin 2010, so i plaed the guitar there...i come from argentina
love ireland and thin lizzy as u.
i was several years ago in england and have an accident, the helper was an irish person , cool and great.regards chopper
great song, one of lizzys finest. Best place to listen to this is outside when the sun goes down, hopefully with some cloulds. I swear i can feel Phil's presence and get goose bumps. Sometimes it so god dam beautiful, i want to cry for Phil, his family, and all of his fans. He might me gone, but he will never be forgotten.
gabmc1966....I am with you my Irish friend...I am from San Francisco and Phil will never be forgotten on the banks of our glorious bay. Phil was Thin Lizzy and no one can deny those words. No one that ever saw the band can deny his talent and grace!! Rest in Peace Phil...you will never be forgotten only missed.

What a composed performance, having Thin Lizzy to see in my teens kinda set the standard, we had nothing but we had pure gold.... I see alot of comments sayin' nothing like this music now, well, i say get your guitars out and play. RIP Philo.
My all time fave song. solo of Gary Moore Is grand, but hands up to J Sykes doing his poseur solo Is legendary with Impressive vocals of the late Lizzy.
I feel sad that I didn't fully understand how very, very talented this group of young men were. Funny.... it makes me feel cheated in a way, even though it is I who am at fault for not regognizing the depth of their talent and looking past the "radio hits." Dang.
I grew up riding around in my Dad's vette listening to Thin Lizzy. I have always liked their music a lot. But... recently, for unexplained reasons, I have been compelled to search them out and get past "Boys are Back In town" or "Jailbreak" etc... I still love those songs, but when I stumbled across "The Sun Goes Down" I was taken aback. This is one of the most meaningful, emotionally charged songs I have ever heard and I am a self proclaimed music afficianado.
I'm a Portuguese fan. The first thing I did in Dublin was enter a record store and ask where Mr. Lynnott was barried to visit his grave to pray for his soul and thanks for everything. "Sun Goes Down" it's so profound, beautiful and melodic that makes me cry. The JS solo is a masterpiece of musical feeling. Only a great spirit and soul like the Irish permits to do works like this. A big HELLO to Irish people from Lisbon. I love Eire and we will never forget the way you treated us in 2003.
I listen to this great band, and this faboulos album, since the moment that came out, is very sad that Phil die, too many moments of great joy had happen with this band, is bad tha t in Mexico we never had the chance to see them in concert, but Thanks friends from Ireland to give to the world one of the best bands of rock ever, and for every greatrocker like Rory Galagher
THE SAD THING IS IN IRELAND WERE I COME FROM PEOPLE THINK U2 ARE THE GREATEST IRISH BAND OF ALL TIME WHEN IN FACT THERE NOT FIT TO MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH AS MY BELOVED THIN LIZZY , TO ME IRISH ROCK MUSIC DIED IN JANUARY 1986 ,YES WE HAD A REINCARNATION OF A FORM OF THIN LIZZY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BUT TO BE HONEST PHIL LYNOTT WAS THIN LIZZY WHEN HE DIED THEY DIED .
@gabmc1966 I never liked U2 so I agree with that. Thin Lizzy will always be my favourite irish rock band. Yeah, It's not Thin Lizzy without Phil. And I'd give Darren Wharton a mention too since he's in one of my favourite bands Dare. I believe their album "Out of the Silence" was a tribute to Phil Lynott.
@spiderpyx thanks for the email i agreewith you darren wharton was great with thin lizzy i will get myself a copy of out of the silence,once again thanks for the email and good luck in the future
@spiderpyx thanks for the email i agree with you darren wharton was great with thin lizzy i will get myself a copy of out of the silence,once again thanks for the email and good luck in the future
@gabmc1966 You're right, i saw them many times in England 3 x at Bingley Hall Staffs, the venue was heaving, according to one biography the place was sold out and an extra 8-10 thousand inside cause it was just a cattle shed/equestrian centre all standing. the timing of songs bang on and the audience eating out of his hand. U2 are only a jingle jangle basic chord band, i have most of their stuff. I think Rory was up there with em, great guitarist. check out Limehouse Lizzy-ace night out.
@gabmc1966 I agree with you 1000%. The world of music truly lost one the greatest ever in January 1986. No one person aside from my mother has had as huge an influence on me musically as Phil did. We miss you Phil!
@Tirdfish Totally Agree, ok its not Lizzy as such, but its all we have left so we have to make the most of what was probally the best band in the world, With Six superb guitarist and fore or so standins all giving a diffrent flavour and breading new life into the band over the bands original life time, all i can say is we were lucky to be alive and to have witness this part in music history. Long live Lizzy and all who sailed in her, it dont matter if some were assholes, they made me smile!!
@gabmc1966 I would agree but with Gorham, Downey and Wharton in this version I think they have a right to call themeselves TL. Im gonna go see this tour because now that Gary Moore has died I'm sure they will do a tribute to them both. I havent seen them since the Chinatown tour. It'll be exciting to see them again.

Nice to see another Irishman, Viv Campbell joing them for this tour.
@jhs5150 hi there jhs5150 its only my humble opinion its good there touring again keeping the thin lizzy legacy alive but to me its the same as queen playing paul rogers good but not queen without freddie mercury. i wish you well. .R.I.P. GARY MOORE
@gabmc1966 ha dude you said people shudn mention em in the same breath....but then you did it! lol But yeah i agree! also from ireland! and So proud of Thin lizzy and Rory gallagher!
@gabmc1966 i like you love thin lizzy, and their musical flame will never be exstiquished.But i think you shouldn't be to quick to put down U2. They are a superb rock band like lizzy from EIRE. And i don't know if you know this but it was Phil himself that endorsed U2's rise to great heights. If you ever take the time to listen to Bono on their live GO HOME concert 2001 slane castle. He thanks Phil for letting them open a lizzy show way back in the lale 70's. [EIRE ROCKS MUSIC.]
My respects go out to the late Gary Moore and Phil Lynott, one of the best rock bands from Ireland, their music will never die...

I have this record on LP and I played countless times. How many CDs have you bought recently and listened for more than 10 times?
It was authentic back in the days because the bands got to choose most of what material to play. Nothing like playing your own music...

@thesinfulnature Actually there are quite a few cds I listen to more than 10 times a day. "I am not a human being" by Lil Wayne...."The Final Frontier"-Iron Maiden...I watch the Rock In Rio dvd every morning when I wake up to get my day started off right.....listen Thin Lizzy was amazing it's a shame I will never get to see them live, But to insult recent music is ignorant and close minded. There are several recent/newer bands that make amazing music and have amazing live shows. Open your ears.

@mattisgod1234 totally agreee with your comment ..but i would have to say there wouldn't be to many of the newer amazing live acts that will be looked back upon in 30yrs with the same fondness as Phil and the boys .

great song, one of lizzys finest. Best place to listen to this is outside when the sun goes down, hopefully with some cloulds. I swear i can feel Phil's presence and get goose bumps. Sometimes it so god dam beautiful, i want to cry for Phil, his family, and all of his fans. He might me gone, but he will never be forgotten.

The most spectacular part of this song is the guitar-solo performed by Gorham. It has so much power and feeling to it. Love it

What a composed performance, having Thin Lizzy to see in my teens kinda set the standard, we had nothing but we had pure gold.... I see alot of comments sayin' nothing like this music now, well, i say get your guitars out and play. RIP Philo.

My all time fave song. solo of Gary Moore Is grand, but hands up to J Sykes doing his poseur solo Is legendary with Impressive vocals of the late Lizzy.

I feel sad that I didn't fully understand how very, very talented this group of young men were. Funny.... it makes me feel cheated in a way, even though it is I who am at fault for not regognizing the depth of their talent and looking past the "radio hits." Dang.

I grew up riding around in my Dad's vette listening to Thin Lizzy. I have always liked their music a lot. But... recently, for unexplained reasons, I have been compelled to search them out and get past "Boys are Back In town" or "Jailbreak" etc... I still love those songs, but when I stumbled across "The Sun Goes Down" I was taken aback. This is one of the most meaningful, emotionally charged songs I have ever heard and I am a self proclaimed music afficianado.

I'm a Portuguese fan. The first thing I did in Dublin was enter a record store and ask where Mr. Lynnott was barried to visit his grave to pray for his soul and thanks for everything. "Sun Goes Down" it's so profound, beautiful and melodic that makes me cry. The JS solo is a masterpiece of musical feeling. Only a great spirit and soul like the Irish permits to do works like this. A big HELLO to Irish people from Lisbon. I love Eire and we will never forget the way you treated us in 2003.

I listen to this great band, and this faboulos album, since the moment that came out, is very sad that Phil die, too many moments of great joy had happen with this band, is bad tha t in Mexico we never had the chance to see them in concert, but Thanks friends from Ireland to give to the world one of the best bands of rock ever, and for every greatrocker like Rory Galagher

THE SAD THING IS IN IRELAND WERE I COME FROM PEOPLE THINK U2 ARE THE GREATEST IRISH BAND OF ALL TIME WHEN IN FACT THERE NOT FIT TO MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH AS MY BELOVED THIN LIZZY , TO ME IRISH ROCK MUSIC DIED IN JANUARY 1986 ,YES WE HAD A REINCARNATION OF A FORM OF THIN LIZZY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BUT TO BE HONEST PHIL LYNOTT WAS THIN LIZZY WHEN HE DIED THEY DIED .

@gabmc1966 I never liked U2 so I agree with that. Thin Lizzy will always be my favourite irish rock band. Yeah, It's not Thin Lizzy without Phil. And I'd give Darren Wharton a mention too since he's in one of my favourite bands Dare. I believe their album "Out of the Silence" was a tribute to Phil Lynott.

@gabmc1966 You're right, i saw them many times in England 3 x at Bingley Hall Staffs, the venue was heaving, according to one biography the place was sold out and an extra 8-10 thousand inside cause it was just a cattle shed/equestrian centre all standing. the timing of songs bang on and the audience eating out of his hand. U2 are only a jingle jangle basic chord band, i have most of their stuff. I think Rory was up there with em, great guitarist. check out Limehouse Lizzy-ace night out.

@Tirdfish Totally Agree, ok its not Lizzy as such, but its all we have left so we have to make the most of what was probally the best band in the world, With Six superb guitarist and fore or so standins all giving a diffrent flavour and breading new life into the band over the bands original life time, all i can say is we were lucky to be alive and to have witness this part in music history. Long live Lizzy and all who sailed in her, it dont matter if some were assholes, they made me smile!!

@gabmc1966 I would agree but with Gorham, Downey and Wharton in this version I think they have a right to call themeselves TL. Im gonna go see this tour because now that Gary Moore has died I'm sure they will do a tribute to them both. I havent seen them since the Chinatown tour. It'll be exciting to see them again.

@gabmc1966 i like you love thin lizzy, and their musical flame will never be exstiquished.But i think you shouldn't be to quick to put down U2. They are a superb rock band like lizzy from EIRE. And i don't know if you know this but it was Phil himself that endorsed U2's rise to great heights. If you ever take the time to listen to Bono on their live GO HOME concert 2001 slane castle. He thanks Phil for letting them open a lizzy show way back in the lale 70's. [EIRE ROCKS MUSIC.]
