Everybody who covers this tune gets the drums wrong. The original has a swing/r&b rhythm, and the covers always have a straightforward 4/4 beat. Other than that, this version isn't bad.
if you want to complain about the cover thats fine but you need to understand the album was put together as a tribute to all the bands being covered that have lost a member do to a drug or alcohol related death so weather you like it or not its not to make you happy its for the great music we will never hear again
No kidding; It's a FREAKING Cover of course the original is gonna be better! It's like GnR doing Knockin' on Heavens Door, and it's still shit compared to Bob Dylan. You just can't compare. They had to to get rights to do this song too, by the way. So obviously Thin Lizzy approved. Regardless, hundreds, and countless bands have covered this song, and this version is great.
@Chueqitoo please don't be a fool, it's a very good cover, and of course, it isn't the original, obiously the original it's the best, but don't underestimate the covers, they're very good and make cool versions of the originals
This is an amazing cover.I don't care what anyone says.They did an amazing job on this.Great vocals,and love the intro.If they released this as a single back in 1989 when they were larger than life(not that they aren't nowadays) it would have been a huge hit.Hopefully if they one day decide to release deluxe versions of all their albums this will turn up on New Jersey along with all the other un-released songs that never made that album.
@lukerobin01 They really need to do deluxe editions of their cds.I mean they are the biggest touring act out there besides The Stones,and they sell alot of cds.Why not give the fans what they want?And not another box set of just demos.
@WEINBAUER Yeah, or combine the idea of dual disks and demo's. Like for example re-release These Days but on the second disk have the songs that didn't quite make the cut for that album. A lot of the time they're just as good as the songs that were included.
@lukerobin01 I still don't know how Social Disese made Slippery When Wet over Edge Of A Broken Heart.Or how did Last Cigarette make Have A Nice Day over Dirty Little Secret?I know it was on the import versions of that cd,but it should have been on there everywhere.I would like to get the remix versions of some of their songs that were either on older cd singles,or promos.
Ok theres a version of this song Bonjovi did and i cant find it, in it jon yells "sing it richie!" and richie starts singing a few parts, ive only heard/ seen it once, if anyone finds/knows of it can you message me? thanks :D
@benni9119 lol..you're so stupid.. of course thin lizzy's version of this song better. original song is always better than the cover. it's harder to make a song out of nothing than cover it...
in the movie "Navy seals" amazing trailer with this song , eighteen years ago.....este fue el tema central de la pelicula "Comando tiburon" fue un buen trailer , si alguien lo tiene , subalo por favor y me avisa....
Thin lizzy give it the hole gang kinda feeling these make it seem camp...
