Thin Lizzy-Whiskey in the jar

[TheKathrynLily]

I love the description of this.

[BlackElenaPunk]

*_____________* Me encanta

[35OverDrive]

Hey youtubers. It would really mean a lot if you checked out my band's youtube page. We just released our first track and we would really appreciate it if you guys checked it out. Please, help keep rock music alive by taking a look at our new track! I'm sorry for the spam and all but this is really the best way to spread the word about our music. Thanks!

[watfordman]

was gary moore even in the band when this came out

[Dannexis21]

R.I.P Gary Moore

[michko2005]

[pahucem1]

sorry mate you're wrong too! We used sing this song in the sixties at school - it's an old folk song - based on a true story set in in about 1830 in Iteland between a Irish felon and a British Soldier

[RG2020vision]

the drummer looks like Rory Gallagher

[PVP100prcnt]

jailbreak is my fav

[nightmarelightdark]

thin lizzy de los mejor en musica, solo conocedores aprecian lo bueno de estos grandes musicos, y para mi de lo mejor en la historia lynott y moore

[hervoiceresides666]

my mate has been a metallica fanatic for years, all this time he thought that metallica created the song whiskey in the jar, until yesterday after telling him constantly thin lizzy is the original creator of this song ..... stupid twat

[EshnehGaming]

@hervoiceresides666

Lizzy didn't create this song either...stupid twat.

[jgraham01900]

@hervoiceresides666

Epic Fail.

[thundus81]

@hervoiceresides666 dubliners did it before thin lizzy in the late 50s

[TheTo4St3R]

I think Lynott is a bit like the Irish Jimi Hendrix; Good Music, Afro, Died Young.

[BeyondNeptune]

obama with an afro

[Basch104]

@BeyondNeptune Lynott without an afro.

[TianCooperFTW]

Metallica did a better cover.

[j4skier]

@TianCooperFTW it's first rock version of this song:p

[glassroom135]

@TianCooperFTW no

[lharris0012]

Just love it.. I was born in the wrong era!!!!

[TheClassicrocker67]

this song, the rocker, vagabonds of the western world, and ray gun are all kick ass tunes from the eric bell period. the guitar work on their early stuff makes most of lizzy's later stuff look tame. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!

[jessikmm1]

i love this song .

[HenryJohnson3]

This is one of HipHopSucksDick's favourite videos. <3

[vashna3799]

oh man this a PROPER ROCK SONG

[MrKallio666]

awesome



[sirgeggs]

assholes.......

[senzabenza]

499 emo dislike?

[alxndrHD]

@senzabenza Unfortunately Thin Lizzy probably indadvertedly influenced emo, post-hardcore and many other punk-rock genres. Still funny though lol

[konatanon]

@senzabenza

no, it's all Captain Farrel's accounts

[corholiozoidberg]

@senzabenza 500



[gittehel]

@senzabenza Now it's 500 ????????? Crazy people! :) I enjoy!

[metledsabbsthica]

i love metallica and thin lizzy. great song.

[metledsabbsthica]

great band great song.

[99KFAM99]

[MegaHeritic]

@firstlaughinghyena thats retarded.

[zomgnamesbusy]

497 people were taken by the Devil.

[asboangus]

You cant please everybody.. you have certainly pleased me by posting this video. I love this record THANK YOU xx What goes round comes round. those people who ridicule others will get their come uppance

[hullamajascot1]

@asboangus Thanks for your comment ,dont know how these rude replies are posted.Just goes to show how things have changed .They just need a wee slap,good music never goes bad ,unlike the people of today,they need to get a life!

[anthonyflea]

i think 497 people who dislike this are deaf. And the people who puts dislike button on this song are idiot

[InvisibleKid101]

The description sais it all

[gixxerboy555]

Such a good rockband...the singer(bassist - Philip Lynott) died because of using "speedball" in 1986 at the age of 37...R.I.P.

[891bam]

amazing voice

[nodonny8]

reach



[EpicFilip]

@firstlaughinghyena You know i LOVE the word you used. Handiphobia. Because obviously were have an irrational fear when we see retar-- I mean Lovely Awesome Heroes with Special Powers. Spot on chap.

[mhocker10]

seeing as I am cursed with OCD, agoraphobia, and PTSD from a Military deployment.. I guess you could say I am taking a shot at myself. This is whats wrong with the World today.. Everyone is so touchy feely, boo hoo, (you're) mean.. get a grip. By the way.. everyone has some type of learning disability.. so you to are retarded.

[Baxxie355]

Back in the days where niggers were not gangsters, they used to make good music.

[RockyHorrorWildChild]

Phil you will never be forgotten. You and your music will be remembered a thousand years from now.

[colmhearne]

RIP Phil Lynott, it's hard to believe he's been dead for 26 years and yet his music is still amazing!

[garcemac]

There are few untouchable talents. Phil Lynott is one, and will always be one.

[EVRYMANaKING]

@XabiAandRoryG 26 years.

[emmecaldas90]

Phil Lynott was the best

[slipknoy]

sad day...

[81SHELLBELL]

En JOY  M<Usick INsted

[resonancegames]

Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da. Buncha idiots below-ah.

[AyrtonGNR]

I knew this song by Metallica =D

[QueenAnneCherries1]

@AyrtonGNR I love their version of this too. Metallica has done some great covers.

[Silvrbk126]

@QueenAnneCherries1 You mean ripped off alot of artist.

[garcemac]

@QueenAnneCherries1

Remember the Metallica / Napster thing? They love playing and profiting from other people's music, but its not ok to touch their music.

I'd like to see exactly how much Phil Lynott's corpse made from Metallica's cheap attempt to ride his coat-tails, and pawn off his brilliance as their own.

Nevermind, the '90s are over. Metallica is history.

[AyrtonGNR]

@QueenAnneCherries1 Of course =D

\,,/

[lexprimo]

This is ridiculously good!  Kids?,it's called music,...manufactured reality stars?,it's called talent.

[salthill99]

never really was a huge lizzy fan bit too young but how could anyone not appreciate their music,r.i.p phillo irish music lost its inspiration too early

[tiarekhalo1]

I went to a pub/bar last night for NYE in New Zeland and this was the song they played into 2012, after Auld Lang Syne! Cool as way to start 2012. Happy New Year everyone from Aotearoa!

[RepubsAreGay]

This band is FAGGOT

I imagine you with a troll face calling everything good day thinkin you are insulting it,meanwhile "hay" is just a sexual orentation,I could stay one week telling you all the reasons why you are stupid,but I'm just lazy,and you suck...

[NextOrcus]

@RepubsAreGay Son of a bitch shut up trash.

[rafael95513]

What the fuck??

[dietfreeman42718]

I did not know Thin Lizzy made this song! Awesome!

[zeansor]

@dietfreeman42718 they didn't.

[alfie0536]

Both versions are good. STFU

[gwynbleidd142]

Listen to this song about 6 months on YT, and You are still arguing about which versin is better. Shut the fuck up now, please!

[divineonenl]

THERE WAS YT FIVE YEARS AGO?!

[xXSp3ctroXx]

@divineonenl '-'

[trukerdad1019]

Phil Lynott was / is a genius just like Jimi Hendrix and both were never really appreciated until after they were gone. Love them both and ROCK ONNN Phil and Jimi!!!

[MrGarridom]

Sempre bom ouvir a origem de um sucesso

[catchthree]

the black Irish rose fantastice

[TheSaoirse777]

@catchthree  oh yeah he was Irish , that explains the passion in music.

[renatosantosss]

Join quem acha que Metallica estragou a música!

[ivojose16]

@renatosantosss Não .O metallica não estragou .As duas versões da musica são muito boas ,tanto a original quanto a versão do metallica .

[Ronniemoss1954]

Metalica are chite at it and spoil a good song - numpties.

[KlairaBlueOctober277]

i <3 this song!

[justinelust777]

I think that is why7 Brian is precise he was younger and respectful.....

[justinelust777]

I love his work!

[justinelust777]

Eric Bell was so precise!

[mhocker10]

Fighting on the internet is like running a race in the Special Olypics. Even if you win, your still retarded.

[PDub0227]

@mhocker10 you're*

[alfredagain]

@mhocker10 Very well said, though I've shamefully been guilty of it myself, just recently too, dammit. I must grow up some more! Thanks for the inspiration.

[MrWhitey101]

@mhocker10 Yeah, it's almost as bad as plagiarizing old jokes, and then pawning them off as your own, in order to feel like you're accepted by a bunch of strangers on youtube...

Hey wait a minute...

[mhocker10]

@MrWhitey101 Touche'

Always remember, The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

[MrWhitey101]

@mhocker10 Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.

[shurdi3]

@mhocker10 *you're

[pumpkinheadedsob]

@mhocker10 couldnt have said it better, its like being the smartest kid with down syndrome

[firstlaughinghyena]

@pumpkinheadedsob and @mhocker10 interesting to see that some people like you still think that disable are inferior and still use the word "retards" as an insult. Handiphobia is a disgrace and you are an insult to humanity.

[pumpkinheadedsob]

@firstlaughinghyena no one but you used the word "retard" and if you took ten seconds to check a profile you would have noticed that mhocker10 is a disabled veteran. I checked your profile and noticed that you're french, maby you should spend a little more time thanking people like my grandfather, men whom risked their lives so you and your countrymen didnt end up speaking german.

[firstlaughinghyena]

@pumpkinheadedsob and then comes out of the blue your remark about the war. Where is the link with you practicing handiphobia? since you don't seem to have ever opened the door of a library, i'll be kind. my part of France hasn't been freed by the american, so i owe u nothing and it's the same for rest of the country since France was the only country that came over to help the american against the english before their independence in 1776 (cf.the Statue of Liberty in 1876).

[TheSlugOfLove]

@firstlaughinghyena If someone can't use thier arm, and I can use my arm, it makes thier arm inferior.

[firstlaughinghyena]

@TheSlugOfLove and you really think it's the point he was trying to make? BTW what is the point you're trying to make? that it's ok to point the finger? that you can say who is inferior/who isn't. i really wonder how a guy that has written twice "thier" instead of "their" would feel if people were mentioning how inferior dyslexic people are? Maybe i should just ask one of them. what about...hum...you? your remark and the way you did spell it are so stupid that they made my day.

[zectofrazer]

@firstlaughinghyena yo shut the fuck up and stop arguing over stupid shit just listen to the awesomeness of thin lizzy

[firstlaughinghyena]

@zectofrazer If you're here only to listen to the music why do you read the comments?you poor illogical cunt-head. 

[EpicFilip]

@firstlaughinghyena Its not an insult, its a fact. Its not insulting or undermining anyone. Mentally retarded they were called, but do-goodies like you now what to rename them to "People with Special >>Skills<<"

Why distort the truth, that they are (mentally) retarded. So that you can play the morally superior being??

[firstlaughinghyena]

@EpicFilip You're stupidly and very hypocritically mixing it all. what is an insult is not to call them retarded, special or god knows what( though the word "retarded" is just bad.) the insult is to compare someone to them through a metaphor when the point you're trying to make is to insult the one you're talking to. And you're the one that is talking about distorting the truth? read all their messages and just give them a thumb up if you think it's right.

[EpicFilip]

@firstlaughinghyena Hypocritical??I don't know ho this fits in all this, but if you say so.. But they are retards. The word came from Doctors (i'll assume they know more that you do) that classified them as "mentaly retarded" or simply retards. so its not "just wrong". And how do i distort the truth? Do some research and find out yourself what i said is true. Try to explain with arguments everything you claim. I know its hard but you can do it too! Since you're not a retard.

[firstlaughinghyena]

@EpicFilip "hypocritically" cause I had left you the benefit of the doubt and hoped your misunderstanding was fake and not genuine.your last message makes that last option vanish. the insult was in the metaphor he makes and not in one single specific word. Are you a 12 years old or English is not your first language?. thanks for the etymology class... really kind of you, though the "wrong" was an ethical one. so the medical explanation had nothing to do there. have a great life. ciao.

[zectofrazer]

@firstlaughinghyena

the word "retarded" to refer to a disabled person wasnt originaly offensive. retard means late, slow or less, as in fire retardant makes the fire less intense. the word retard means the person is slow/less intelligent. it only became taboo in the past few years. Im sure whoever uses the word retarded isnt actually ignorant or an "insult to humanity". stop being so fucking preachy about it.

[Lallanananaaaa]

@firstlaughinghyena I agree, "spastic" is a much better word to get the point across.

[jtownmassacre]

@mhocker10 lol.. this asshole had 25 thumbs up and he used "your" instead of you're!? I don't understand!!!

[firstlaughinghyena]

@mhocker10 that sentence sucks. shame on you.

[JCAuto1207]

@mhocker10 I can't believe this is a top comment. It is ironic that a person making fun of the mentally challenged doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

[firstlaughinghyena]

@JCAuto1207 you should check mhocker's last message. English is his first language and he can't even make the difference between "too" and "to". It says a lot. He probably knows empirically a lot about the topics he mentions in his messages.

[ckyfan8291]

@mhocker10 And like making a joke about retarded kids, you're still going to hell... haha.

[dean0waterz]

@mhocker10 *You're*: a cunt.

[TooXic44]

Come on guys, I love Metallica. But still I love Thin Lizzy, both versions are good (:

[TheQwertyNinja]

'The Dubliners' did the actual original, as it used to be a folk song. Then Thin Lizzy did this version, my favorite, then metallica slaughtered it.

[MultiGeerson]

La Original

[jreal9911]

black and irish? now thats a contradiction

[charlessale]

@jreal9911 Please, have you seen 'Irish Jam' starring that guy that is in stuff?

[fabulousgerro66]

Try and enjoy the music. Squabbling is for Politicians!

[ZynekCZ]

496 are fans of Metallica, faggots

[Tumaaax]

@ZynekCZ no

[BrodinBrothers22]

Weather a song is bad or good is all down to opinions. So practically all songs are both good and bad. Because some people like it, and some don't!

[Sshadow01]

classic !



[Bohatov]

R.I.P. Phil.

[MrFredGoldstein]

Phil Lynott was a true Irish hero

[TheClassicrocker67]

and for those of you arguing over T L and Metallica listen to this: in rolling stone's top 500 songs of all time 2010 issue on page 103 they asked James Hetfield what his top 10 favorite songs were. his 10th favorite was "The Boys are back in Town" by thin lizzy- he was quoted saying: "Phil Lynott was never afraid to write from the hart. Thin Lizzy inspired a lot of Metallica's guitar harmonies." intresting...

[TheClassicrocker67]

thin lizzy, way back then they really were just vagabonds of the western wold. great music though!!

[ShalemariTV]

0:13 reminds me of old greg

[pkaramer]

Metallica didn't quite exist when this was wrote.Respect to TL! Copying isn' t creating goddammit..

[RichtheEvil]

Anyone that doesn't like every version of this song is a bogus pratt!

[AIienware]

dude, thin lizzy copy metallica

[metalurgia100]

@AIienware q? hermano esta cancion es antiguaza no le copio a metallica el cover de metallica si no me confundo es por el 2000 esta cancion supongo que sera de los 70

salu2 si me entiendes

[Gryzly123]

@AIienware he copied this song 25 years before metallica made it, lol :p

[NarutoNinjaSensei]

@AIienware Herpderp

[HelenaVollDamm]

@AIienware WTF!?!?!? Did u see the video!? Metallica copy Thin Lizzy, Thin Lizzy is older!

[woodzip87]

I like Metallica's version, but this carries the original feeling whereas making it metal made it sound cool but the meaning was gone.

[superfartdog]

Thin Lizzy is the freaking bomb, but Metallica doesn't suck! quit freaking dissing on them!

[emilygrant1984]

Thin Lizzy's version is NOT the original. This is an Old Irish folk song from a few hundred years ago :)

[anotherism]

Thank you all who have pissed off becouse of my words fag and gay. Childish fights developes childish expressions.

[black09ism]

Metallica don't ruined this song, they only performed with style so shut fuck up FAG

[gottselig2004]

@black09ism Style???? you call others a FAG yet you are the one who swallows another mans load!

[italkfan]

but the fact is that the dubliners have far more of a connection to the song since the song is based in ireland and arent only lyrics to them

[Flamorgan]

@italkfan Bollocks, this song dates back to the 18th century and has feck all to do with the Dubliners who only recorded the song in the 1960s, it is what it is, chill ffs.

[tormozism]

ЯДОС! POISON! ЫЫЫЫ :___)

[Dallehable]

OMG THEY ARE SO HIGH THEY DIDNT REALISE THAT THERE WERE NIGGERs AND WHITES MIXED UP

[Flamorgan]

@Dallehable TWAT

[mason0warner]

@Dallehable I don't get it

[italkfan]

hahahhahh this isnt the original!! its a cover of the Dubliners song whiskey in the jar who are irish!!! heres a link watch?v=46EXY4oP1Do

[Flamorgan]

@italkfan The Dubliners also done a cover version, the song is a lot older than the Dubliners

[italkfan]

@Flamorgan but it was the dubliners that made it their own

[Flamorgan]

@italkfan The Dubliners changed the words but the song dates back to the 18th century, fuck all to do with the Dubliners . Respect my man.

[awersum]

@italkfan But Thin Lizzy is also an Irish band, formed in Dublin in 1969

[justinc71]

This is one of New Metallica's best songs.... because the original is just awesome. I love both versions.

[Flamorgan]

@justinc71 Shame Metallica do not know the words, they made a pigs arse of the song when they played in Dublin a few years back.

[AOConnor1992]

@justinc71 there are three versions :P

[sk8planb340]

@justinc71 fag



[VIDARMATHISEN]

@justinc71 metallica cant come close to compare with thin lizzy, they just plain suck compared to those legends

[garethL]

i love this version and the metallica version but neither can beat the dubliners version

[alex59ba]

i watched this video many times and today only spotted his four string is made of 'glass'

[jason69332]

UVF you sad looser
