Thin Lizzy - Holy War

[NextOrcus]

The media can not hide Phil Lynott.Fuck if the greedy bastards.

[jesperstraussjensen]

We are dying, oh we are dying...

[docwatsons]

god they were brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doomballs]

@jmoney31705 you said it dude

[Selecta88]

So influential this band. The older I get, the more I realise this.

[aeromasterslefjohn]

HOLY SHIT !

[MrLoppas]

Best version ever!!!!!!!

[MrRisk1776]

A fuckin shame. Thin Lizzy had such a wealth of talent, and a real collection of great songs, but the radio stations play one song. One. Really, just one.

[Donkwoon]

@MrRisk1776 Actually two but your point is valid. The over playing of those 2 songs is what prevented me from ever getting into this band. It's only now, because I'm prepping to go see them, that I'm realizing just how good they really were. I guess it's better than not at all, right?

[dannymcmince]

Sykes is a rock star!

[iluvdavegrohl]

Anyone thinking of Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue in the beginning? :D

[StevePHarrisJR]

@iluvdavegrohl Have you considered the fact that Thunder and Lightning came out 6 years before Dr. Feelgood?

[solidiquis1]

Brother will kill brother.

[MetfreakronoldJHJHJH]

@solidiquis1 Haha

[louisfriendhastaste]

Hard to say when the rot set in, probably with Snowy White and Sykes finished it off

[theGaminggrounds]

Ah, real music and real talent. A very rare combo to find now days.

[glove8888]

Most underated band of all time, ashame they play one song from them. They were brillant.

[dragmile]

so much energie......

[geokar16]

C'mon guys stop the Thin Lizzy vs U2 talk... Their only thing in common is that they're Irish. Different music, different style etc...

[nemzz9st]

People are being implanted with RFID microchips

[GuitarGods610]

this line up is for the ages serious thumbs up and how many bands today would let them open for them.. not many i bet

[rulerwithcounsel]

Injecting between your toes - yeh your the chosen, we bow before you. Drug addicts

[jmoney31705]

@rulerwithcounsel its better than being a muslim

[rulerwithcounsel]

@jmoney31705 Gotta agree with you there

[jmoney31705]

i dont see why people talk bad about the chinatown/renegade/t&l albums, serious heavy shit on every lizzy album in my opinion , from the self titled thin lizzy lp, to thunder and lightening, every album was a masterpiece

[dannymcmince]

@jmoney31705 I agree lad!

[belrandir]

@jmoney31705 "I second that motion"

So true what you say, I've heard every song published by them, and to this day not heard 1 song I did not love...

[StephenAndrew777]

RIP art!

[iluvdavegrohl]

RIP Phil!

[StephenAndrew777]

Lets everybody fight about god! *drools and beats his chest*

[danmarino1970]

"If GOD is in the heavens.. why does GOD let children die?"

[mrianmark]

I photographed Thin Lizzy in 77 when they opened for Queen. To see the shots go to 70srockphotos (.com)

[WahWahWa]

Fuckin' awesome!



[shapdanone]

Phil is God

[Moissenjeff]

Best Lizzy song EVER!!!

[bruceleerules747]

For some very strange reason I almost thought this was gonna be a megadeth cover.. haha

[Moissenjeff]

@bruceleerules747 Would have been the other way round

[Soul4Eleven]

I cant hear you over the sound of their awesomeness. You will forever be missed Phil.

[flashtin166]

So many great songs, I don't think I can pick a favourite.

[bonglicker1]

all thin lizzys songs are amazing!!! there is not 1 bad song. phil is a genius. <3

[1234muscail]

Lizzy such a badass amazing band with good hearts & soul. Finest Irish band in history. Some session in heavan at the moment with Phil, Gary, Jimi and all the other greats. R.I.P lads Eire is proud of you!! :-)

[moenrg]

God, why did you have to take Philp from us???

[additionalmc]

@moenrg at least we had him for a little while

[ZeBuceta17]

yes!!! yes!!!

[puck634]

great!!!!



[taam99]

Holy smoke! This song is awesome! 

[TheRodst]

THIS IS THE WAY!!

THIS IS THE LAW!!

[sakis3warnings]

this is how the real rock is played

[ComatoseFox]

I noticed yesterday that this song isnt on their greatest hits album.... What the hell? This song is absolutely awesome

[abskbooo]

U2???KKKKKKKKKKKKKK THIN LIZZY THIN LYZZY THIN LIZZY

[otursdag]

the only bad thing finding thin lizzy is... no band compares to them. ever. 

[TheJeffum]

IM GLAD I HATE 80s HAIR METAL!!!

[MrBubbles0o0o]

the singer = my example <3

imma bass player to

and for him to be bale to focus and sing and play well

props to him

[LosLurvos]

u2 >> shit

[Hooktonnfonics]

Man, discovering this band is like when you discover Tool. Every song is good and you ask yourself why...why is this band not respected as it should be? Then you have to look at it like maybe it's just a musicians band. Girls don't care about lyrics (for the most part) girls don't care about guitar solos (for the most part). And that's half the population which is half of what influences radio...but this band has to even be more underratded than the White Stripes...

[PumpkinPuffer]

@Hooktonnfonics Tool sucks

[armyoforigin]

you live on Phil

[LAAS1959]

Llamalink There used to be a 1977 outdoor Thin Lizzy concert in Sydney right next to the Opera House on Stage 66. Sadly this page is gone but someone out there should have this concert.

[llamalink]

seems to hard to hear this band other than when ure in ireland or uk.. i never heard them in australia yet.. pisses me off.. very underated band

RIP Phil

[theblindoc]

One of my all time favourite songs!

[scally4A]

14 people are rather deaf

[remi1961]

I have most of their vinyl albums. I finally saw them live this year at the Wolf Den in CT, 3-26-22. Got to meet Scott, Brian, Vivian, Ricky & Marco... What a night. Great tribute to Phil & Gary who are sadly missed!!

[MrManmountainrock]

phil lynott and gary moore two icons whose music will live forever and never die

[StyrbjornStarke]

14 people got killed by crusaders

[phillintheuk1]

If i remember rightly I think this was broadcast live on tv, awesome sound from Phil's bass.

[StyrbjornStarke]

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one wins the war

This is the way

This is the law

[StyrbjornStarke]

Best fucking rock band in history, music like this will never be made again :(

[TinyClocks]

So good...

[combatcommand]

Leather pants. My retinas-- they are burning.

[LewisM256]

THIN LIZZY >> One hell of a lot of other bands >> U2

[spidey5959]

@LewisM256 Thin Lizzy was before U2 therefore

[zulou65]

is this video live ? WOW IT SOUNDS AWSOME! doesn"t toe?

[strapfaceharry]

I'm a drummer/vocalist since i was 14 yrs.old. I'm now 59 n still lay it down n my bands back in the day we played some Thin Lizzy. Man this is a great tune with great energy through out my friends. It just never let u down it's a tune that u want to go on n on. That does not alway's happen!!!!!!!!

[erolr900]

U2's a great band, but Thin Lizzy is greater.

[MrYngwie88]

thin lizzy holy war, megadeth holy war, man o war holy war !

[LedZepGuitarman]

You can see the passion of phil, they must have been a treat to hear live

[dragmile]

best ever....love them since beeing a twen

[NumbNutz12000]

I've known about thin lizzy my whole life but I've never appreciated, or really even listened to them until today -- because my cousin shared this song with me.

I owe you BIGTIME cuz. This song is pure, raw, badass real-deal rock & roll.

\m/_(OO)_\m/

[xritaly]

THIN LIZZY >> U2

[miketrigs93]

@xritaly kinda like comparing led zeppelin and nirvana (not exactly possible but I agree that the former is better ;) )

[xritaly]

@miketrigs93 I know but some people think that U2 is the only big band in Irland but, we all know, there is a BIGGER band in Irland!

[bobuckdaddy]

@xritaly  The Pogues?

[bobuckdaddy]

@xritaly Stiff Little Fingers?

[bomberman326]

@bobuckdaddy Boomtown Rats

[johnydafox]

@xritaly Yes we do! Brother!

[c05Mlk2]

@xritaly THIN LIZZY >> OVERRATED ROCK BANDS :)

[decenthypocrite]

@xritaly no

[billbocate]

ok , not classic lizzy , we all prefer previous times, BUT

syke's a killer.

wharton's dare is a good band

[billbocate]

ok , not classic lizzy , we all prefer previous times, BUT

syke's a killer.

[DeathMagneticRemastr]

Induct them into the Rock Hall NOW! This is a disgrace! You have shit like Run DMC in there but not Thin Lizzy?

[RayCrayon16]

@DeathMagneticRemastr WHAT!? But RUN DMC aren't even ROCK, OH my gosh. That's actually depressed me.

[DeathMagneticRemastr]

@RayCrayon16

Oh damn my bad, he's just being inducted into the songwriters hall of fame. But Leon Russel, a country artist is being inducted. lmao wtf!

[RayCrayon16]

@DeathMagneticRemastr Ahh, it shouldn't just be Phil Lynott in the songwriters hall of fame but ALL of Thin Lizzy need to be recognized as ROCK LEGENDS and be put in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. (as a band)

[DeathMagneticRemastr]

@RayCrayon16

Oh no not Phil Lynott, fucking Garth Brooks is being inducted. I think I removed that comment sorry.

[giamozz]

It's the first time i here this tune, and it really sounds like they're going to battle with God on their side. Great lead riff, not overboard ...Great harmonizing guitars following Phil's Timbre Lead.......... (vocals and bass)!! ( a Gem ) A+

[flyman]

gotta love the dual Les Pauls.........

[FlashframeFilms]

Phil & Gary are kick'n it again upstairs. Lizzy 4 Ever!

[MostAthletic1]

R.I.P. Gary Moore..........As for the comparison to the crew, Dr feel good sounds like Holy War

[espofra]

R.I.P. Phil, Gary is no on your side, let's rock again together... You are the best, forever

[Aerobix]

the intro sounds a bit like "dr.feelgood" by mötley crüe

[Aerobix]

the intro sounds a bit like "dr.feelgood" my mötley crüe

[poolguy98116]

@Aerobix yes you are right Motley Crue stole it

[poolguy98116]

@Aerobix crue stole it

[coscorrow]

Thin Lizzy is the greatest band

[MrFoxor08]

R.I.P PHIL LYNNOTE ON AIME TA MUSIQUE 25 ANS deja le temps pass vit tres vite i love THIN LIZZY

[BoZniaNSoLDier15]

Holy war between men and devil...........any shape and form......

[JBRNR]

[TheBigHase]

Phil Lynott - forever in my heart!

[sergeantblue]

[danstortion]

@sergeantblue and? I just got back from the supermarket and i love T.L too...

[Drewcole314]

Greatest intro of all time!

[MetalSchlicht]

Renegade is a kick ass album all the way

[bashermansir]

Thin Lizzy is by far the best band ever. A great band cut short

[Thinlizzycowboy]

Thin lizzy is the best friken band ever!

[dannymcmince]

@Thinlizzycowboy I agree!!!

[Dortmundfanatiker77]

GREAT SONG.

[NoRulesInNam]

This is my favorite song from Thunder and Lightning, which happens to be my favorite Lizzy album.

[thinfloyd]

this band well deserves the right to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Period!

[reggietard77]

@weiss1432 This was way after Live & Dangerous. Like 5 years.

[drwillis14]

@reggietard77 Yeah but its a bonus video on the Live and Dangerous dvd. I think thats what he meant.

[alejandrinus]

10 people are fucking retarded! Lizzy for ever, RIP Phil!

[weiss1432]

Have this it's on Live And Dangerous dvd.

[Drewcole314]

@weiss1432 Not possible unless they played a demo but this song was still released 7 years after Live and Dangerous was recorded so a demo version on Live and Dangerous is still highly unlikely...

[TheBahnhofskino]

10 people are satanists!

[Henders941]

yeah , some of the stuff from thunder and lightning is actually very good! different from the robbo era, but just as good..(sometimes)

[tdchagas]

Amazing song and it has the best John Sykes solo of his career!

[afterfunz]

10 peoples are completely deaf....

[starkweather444]

I love all of Thin Lizzy's stuff but sometimes I think that Thunder And Lightning might be their best album.

[CCMrJones]

omg 12 hours ago i i heard a thin lizzy song for THE FIRST TIME and i cant stop listen to them... why didnt anybody tell me about them earlier?!?!

[xiayexin]

@CCMrJones I remember feeling the same way back in 1983. My first encounter (I didn 't know at the time Boys are Back in Town wer by them) was from the Thunder and Lightning cassette my friend lent me.

[hubbo66]

@CCMrJones better late than never!

[maddog6419]

@CCMrJones hang out with old people,it will inlighten you.

[manowar8899]

@CCMrJones same here !!!

[giamozz]

@CCMrJones We didn't want to tell you, because we wanted you to search for the diamond in the rough yourself, now doesn't that feel great !! OK, Ok now check out the sweet !!

[RenzoMiller]

@CCMrJones I start listen to Thin Lizzy about 40 years ago and can`t stop listen to them until now! Sorry i couldn`t bring them under your intension. But at least you have discover this magnificent band by by yourself. 

[vjaywdamery]

@CCMrJones ----we've been asleep

[vjaywdamery]

@CCMrJones ---- we have been asleep

[bullbusbutt]

@CCMrJones Welcome to thin Lizzy bug 5 months on you must be hooked :D

[raggballe]

[raggballe]

[CelticReject]

Goosebumps every time I hear Lizzy.

[gothos1000]

[xritaly]

WOW every time i heard this song is like the first.........WHAT A BAND!!

THIN LIZZY IS THE GREATEST IRISH BAND EVER! FUCK BONO AND THE U2

PHIL WAS A FUCKING GENIUS!!!

[blacknazarene666]

this is one of the greatest songs will ever hear in my life!!!

[shaunakehoe]

datz how itz fucken done !!!!!

[kjrossblackmore]

going to see the boys in Aberdeen in January for the second time. Great to hear them fresh but big Phil will never be beaten!

[thinsnake]

The reason God created a stage!!  Eternally out here :-)

[gyeszno]

Sykes plays here one of the greatest Lizzy solos.

[BREDATOR1]

Best ever track with multiple guitairs brilliant!... and sums up the situation we are now in , RIP.. The great die young...

[bolibic85]

2:31 GOD

[MrSpeedengineer]

Gods of Rock!!!

[danfj62]

Awesome!! Awesome!! Awesome!!

[rodthrasher]

I belive that MotleyCrue heard the beggining of this song and "steal it " to put on that song called Dr Feelgood.

This oppening bass riff is the same in both songs.

They should send a royalty check to Philip's family for that...lol

[RichSkip89]

Lovin that BASS plus the lead guitar is just Sexxy

[mercenary161]

No one does it better then Phil and the boys, long live Thin Lizzy.

[Glennfaw]

Best version of this song ever (lyrics are quite different from the album version) many thanks for posting.

[jimijamoneortwo]

all i got to say is YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAYAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :D haha ROCK ON THIN LIZZZZY@ :DDDDD

[dannymcmince]

I from Donegal, I met the great man in 1985, great memories!

[lzzoso]

Great live Song. It seems as if Iron Maiden were fans of Thin Lizzy because this song sounds alot like what Iron Maiden played and turned into Heavy Metal. I love both the Lizzy and the Maiden. Thin Maiden - Iron Lizzy 

[linikers]

Phill Lynott is the coolest Motherfucker ever... he would have your grannys nickers down in an act!

[tzimisce111]

Thin Lizzy are amazing. Amazingly though I didn't even know about them until I heard Metallica's cover of "Whiskey in the Jar". And I'm so glad I was introducted to them because their stuff is just so amazing! Funny how this concert was performed three years before I was even born and it's still so freaking good!

[marksimon42]

lizzy were just the fukin best....and this was the best line up.. rest in peace phil...roll on Manchester Apollo on the 7th of jan 2011
