HOW IS IT UNDERRATED! my songs that i made with my friends are underrated, in fact they were NEVER rated ,this is awesome and thin Lizzy are awesome and they have always be recognized as such!, jeez the YouTube rock elite is so fucking pretentious!
@paddyoshea55 With all due respect to Ireland, I think the ones who are saying this are Americans. Unfortunately over here they weren't as big. They didn't get quite the exposure here. Our loss. Still, I talk to true music fans my age and it's always agreed that they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
I just have to agree, fantastic guitar solo from a fantastic group with one of the greatest leads ever, Phil you meant as much to me that I guess Elvis did to my older generation. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
from one of my all time fav LP's... Although T/L had & has a huge fan base i think they are still underrated! Phil was in no doubt a musical genius.. with Eric Bell & Brian Downey were a trio of pure magic! i know Lizzy went on to gr8r things but the 1st 3 albums they done as a trio are just Classic!
@LiveGoat : This was actually already covered by Ted Leo & The Pharmacists on the "Treble In Trouble" EP, and it's a solid cover that's very faithful to the original.
The band have an unfortunate rep in the US as meathead rockers, but stuff like this shows they were really great Irish romantic poets in leather jackers. Great stuff. I visited Phil's grave in 2001 when I was in the lovely Emerald Isle.
Always one of my fav Lizzy songs, can't understand why its not more widely known and appreciated. If you like melodic Irish rock try listening to the Aslan album Live at Vicker St
wow they were as good and as original and enigmatic as Led Zeppelin, Im just now discovering they're music, boy they Rocked hard and were so melodic, I love the guitar harmonies in they're songs as much as I do Metallica's.
7 people never went to specsavers! at least i hope so..

The man was ahead of his time. This could've been released today as an indie rock song. It would've killed today too.
I sure hope the RHCP don't try to cover this.

I was very priveliged to meet with Phil Lynott after a gig at Lancaster University in the late 70's on the JailBreak Tour.
Some gentle giant he was!
A memory that will stay with me for ever.
So soft spoken and couteous.
Got his autograph on the back of a Silk Cut fag packet - something I will always treasure.

Ha haa,nice one brother.
Superman wears a Phil Lynott shirt.
There simply is no better music than Thin Lizzy. Such a shame they are not more popular here in the states.
No matter,I feel like they are rockin' just for me.
I know exactly where I was the day he died.
I can't say that about anyone else.

"I know exactly where I was the day [Phil] died."
I do as well.

I miss that guy every damn day.
