Phil Lynott (w/Wild Horses & Michael Schenker) - A Wee Jam

[peterdsalmon]

Sounds like a pub band to me

[blacksabfan]

@peterdsalmon

Sounds like Lynott to me.

[wasevad]

When your a rock guitarist playing the blues one tends to emote totaly different,whole different feeling.

[MetallicBill]

@wasevad Recent controversy I came across was a posting of the Cutting Heads duel in Crossroads, Steve Vai is the Devil's protege and falls in competition. The posted comment too issue that it was not blues, and indirectly, it was not meant to be I suppose, it was a clash of styles in effect

[wasevad]

@MetallicBill eat players !......I have a few videos on my youtube.Michael is my main influence,I am nowhere near as good as him.I was wondering if you have some extra time if you could check them out and leave me a non-bias opinion,if you can thanks if not thanks anyway !....\m/

[MetallicBill]

@wasevad I have a learning disability and I have real trouble playing guitar but I try by ear and with learned TAB to play things that sound fun and or pleasing. Schenker once said he tried to learn to play with his feet, however, I see on YT someone got that down before Schenker could show his stuff!! The guys impressive as hell!

[MetallicBill]

@MetallicBill *Too is a typo, should read 'TOOK'

[bigswinginmickey]

What an epic recording, cheers mate!!

[baumstamer]

Thank You for this!! I Love Them all!!! RIP PHIL, RIP JAKSON....

[MrSmokeydog]

This does not sound anything like Michael Schenker. He has always had a total distinctive tone to his guitar. and this doesnt even sound like Phil Lynnot on vocals what is this.

[blacksabfan]

@MrSmokeydog

Then youre just a deaf idiot, considering the amount of posts from people WHO WERE ACTUALLY PRESENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

Better listen to it again.

[MrSmokeydog]

@blacksabfan Look Man Clarify when this particular performance took place and

then I can understand the actual sound that each band was attempting to deliver

at that point in their career if not this is just sheer bullshit.

[UliJones]

@MrSmokeydog

It is Schenker and Lynott. I've discovered photos of this gig and made them available to view on the Wild Horses facebook page. The whole bootleg is available to download too.

[GreenerHill]

@MrSmokeydog It's definitely Lynott, and Schenker wouldn't have had his usual gear - Flying V, Marshall, etc. - at an impromptu jam.

[HenryCovert]

Are Steve Jones and/ or Paul Cook on this?

[UliJones]

@HenryCovert

Not on this, but they did jam many times with Lynott and Bain as the Greedy Bastards.

[LIFESEXDEATH]

As a hardcore fan of Phil and Michael this is priceless. Thank you for sharing !

[UliJones]

Imagine if Schenker joined Lizzy instead of Snowy White! Gorham and Schenker - that would've been fantastic.

[jimllfaxit]

What about Schenker and Moore

[UliJones]

@jimllfaxit Would love to hear a band with Schenker and Moore. How long would it've lasted though? lol

[hanomagrocker]

@UliJones Mercy on us all if the Schenker & Gorham twin lead would've unleashed!

[UliJones]

@hanomagrocker We might be getting a Scott Gorham and Viv Campbell assault instead! Might be an announcement tomorrow.

[ZYVZX]

@UliJones i like the story from Phil Mogg of UFO who said Eddie Van Halen talked to him to replace Schenker in UFO when Ed was at his wits end with

David Lee Roth's antics. But even Eddie realized that he didn't have "the bottle" to

take the position. I think Eddie and Schenker are equals in terms of guitar

virtuosity and genius.

[UliJones]

@ZYVZX

Thanks! Great story. I agree with you, both brilliant but very different guitarists. Would have beeen interesting to hear EVH's interpretation of 'Rock Bottom', et al...

[MetallicBill]

@ZYVZX I never heard that, mainly UFO members asked to join other notables like Ozzy, However, Ed is like Schenker in that he wants the band to reflect his total guitar dedication and in a band context that means compromise...he's always stated that a solo album EDWARD would be the same as VAN HALEN, but I know it's not just rumor that Ed has tons of tapes that are not officially released

[ZYVZX]

@MetallicBill I read that in an interview from here

go to daveling dot co uk doc ufo to find the interview.

Its in the articles section, under classic rock with Hendrix on the cover, ufo words on bottom.

It was actually Paul Raymond who said it, not Phil Mogg.

[MetallicBill]

@ZYVZX It is true, Schenker on camera said he turned down band gigs during the MSG solo stages, late 79 onward, just to do what came to him, from the heart, his own music without the democracy of a band

[DiBiasehere]

@ZYVZX Ya gotta be kidding,Van Halen could not tie Schenker's shoe..come on now ya

[MOED812]

@DiBiasehere This here is an insult to even put Schenker and that Van Halen in the same sentence. Come on now Dannel!

[DiBiasehere]

@MOED812 you are correct,Van Halen is overrated skunk

[jhs5150]

@ZYVZX The bottle? You mean he wasn't up to the task? OK. I like them both but they have 2 totally different styles. Michael is great, Eddie is a GENIUS! Please, no pissing contest. Eddie probably knew he wouldn't last in UFO, especially with Mogg but theire styles of music are totally different. Schenker used to write most of the music so if Eddie joined HE would have written most of it. It would have sounded like VH.

[GreenerHill]

@UliJones Yes, and Gary Moore was also asked to join UFO! Imagine if they'd simply swapped the two best guitarists of the era...

[st0nedallday]

my two heroes

[Rhye26]

very rare...awesome..i would give everything to see these 2 LEGENDS together..

[nuetronman]

I see Clive Edwards has posted a photo of the jam on MySpace

[mikescandi]

Did Phil and Mike really jam together ?

[blacksabfan]

Yes, and this wasn't the only occasion. This is just the only occasion it was recorded.

[grumpyoldgitt]

Lol I was at that gig

[tenchmagic]

@grumpyoldgitt Me too mate.

[grumpyoldgitt]

@tenchmagic I've got quite a good photo I took of Schenker at that gig.

[fatstrat402]

that would be so sick if schenker played with thin lizzy

[zr24X4ROCKS]

phil jammed whith schenker and jakson spires from blackfoot .

[blacksabfan]

That's true.

[tenchmagic]

I was there. Remember it well. Bet Schenker doesn't !!

[alevkelley]

2 guys who could really have used a lot of help.

2 guys who were great. I have to put the were on schenker as his stuff today is not great songwriting anymore.

[soutltank]

R A R E, thanks*****

[Scorpions1979]

two Gods of rock

[rockerlawyer]

What a treat!

[STRATCAT101]

LYNOTT& SCHENKER.I love it,they should have done an entire album.Thats why i'm glad TOMMY BOLIN recorded some of his live stuff,because now people can hear just how great he was.

[joselynott]

lynott is god

[VictimofAtkins]

Schenker and Robbo! I think I just came, I think Robbo would of been great in UFO...and Schenker in Lizzy instead of say Snowy White

[collihill]

yes

[LizzyOnly]

Up in the loft looking for the tape I did of the whole Concert!! Great "Lost Songs" such as "The Stash", "One Call a Week"! I'll try and post ASAP...Took me way back" Cheers mate

[cliveed]

Wow I dont belive it, what a blast from the past... I dont remember any of this!!!!

[molly1336]

hi ...did you ever find and post this

[LizzyOnly]

Found the tape! Retribution, Saturday Night, Surely Robbo n Clive have got studio versions! Would love to go back in time!

[cliveed]

I have got some Demos and live tapes, got a good version of Street Girl done before the album, will try and put it on the Tube some time.

[bcfc1961]

reservation ?

[Kirok]

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!? At the time this jam happened, my two musical dashboard idols were Phil Lynott (God rest his soul) and ... Michael Schenker, the latter being the player on whom I modeled my style. Thanks a million!

[blacksabfan]

Damn it! Sorry Tibbenham. I hit "remove" instead of "reply". My bad. Thanks for the comment.

This was on The Philip Lynott and Friends 4 Disc Boxset, another bootleg boxset like the Man and His Music series, except that its a lot harder to find. Lynott also does "Are You Ready" with Wild Horses and then Michael Schenker is introduced and thats where this recording begins. If I had a brain, I would have done a little cutting and pasting and put the intro on this track instead. Oh well.

[lynottfan4]

Incredible. Thanks for posting.
