  • Some people make the shittiest comparisons apropos of nothing...but yeah, Thin Lizzy Kicks Serious Ass - the most underrated hard rock band ever, should be head to head with ac/dc and kiss - that's a valid comparison.

  • Phil, you're not just a rocker.

    You're the gretest rocker of all time.

    Thank you

  • If anybody knows what a real rock band is,then will know about Thin Lizzy man!!!!!!!!

  • THIN LIZZY the best band in the entire universe or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that was Eric Bell on this cut, the Boys are synching, I love Gary but Eric is my fave, too bad they cut out the solo cause its one of the best youll ever hear, gives me chills

  • the original version from 'vagabonds of the western world' with eric bell on guitar was the one that got me hooked on TL. bell could really play but i guess preferred the family life in ireland so left the band b4 they got big

  • @arkvalleycraig

    Eric left the band because of the lifestyle (booze, drugs, parties) and was burnt out, plus he was more interested in just playing music and not being a star. Nothing to do with family. He actually quit in the middle of a gig, leaving Phil and Brian to finish the set.

  • Two genius rockers that will live 4 fu**in ever...

  • 29 people don't know how to be a Rocker!!!!

  • Phil was & is the best!!!

  • U2 suck cock thin Lizzy can play

  • Comment removed

  • I came here for Thin Lizzy not one more gay argument about bands..

  • I'M A ROCKER!!!

  • RIP Gary.

  • Why is everyone hating on U2? Thin Lizzy is easily better, but U2 is still great

  • @blunc0 NO, it's not! By the way, what I wrote, I meant for $hitty U2. And to answer your question, because they are so commercial, because they lack substance, basically they are the sell-outs of ROCK. End of story.

  • @blunc0 Because Bono believes he's a god, even though he's a gigantic douche, tbh, and they just lack personality, and the second they covered Helter Skelter by the Beatles ( <3 ) My hate grew, but again, 'tis but an opinion.

  • @MeanMrMatthew Bono is too fucking messed up in anti political bullshit to pay attention to anything else.Bono wants to be lennon, but he gets to carried away with it so much that it looks like a gimmick. If u2 had built their career as a band on music alone, then they would have never made it.

  • @ClassicRockfan79 You are so right, if only the younger generation had the opinion that we seem to share. I have no hope for this generation.

  • @MeanMrMatthew the younger generation dosent care much about u2. or the older rock bands. kids today are too tied up into teen pop and rap, listen to this, the coliseum here holds 28,000 people, not long ago Alice Cooper, and Rob Zombie were here, the place was less than half full. but bieber comes here, sells the place out in 2 days. Scorpions were here not long ago the place was less than half full, eminem sold it out in one week, so i think even U2 is out of reach of this generation.

  • @ClassicRockfan79 Well said, you really get it, thank you for this intriguing discussion!

  • @MeanMrMatthew youre welcome, its a pleasure.. but anyway the sad thing is younger people today have missed out on great rock bands, its all media driven crap, music is manufactured today, its no longer a form of art, Its all about apperance and not about talent, if a singer or band dosent have the idea apperance then it dosent matter how much talent they have, it only matters how they look. if lizzy was a new band starting out today they would never get a record deal.

  • @ClassicRockfan79 i'm only 15. i'm not gonna go on about how "unique" i am in todays society like most people my age do on here, cos that drives me fuckign crazy. but don't think that this generation is completly crap. theres still a handful of us who like this stuff

  • @Zeppelinguy666 You can add me to your handful of rock n roll teenagers man ;)

  • @MeanMrMatthew I am definately that generation and whenever I hear another song I just sigh and say... well it's not as good as Thin LIzzy :)

  • its a shame these guys broke up the way they did, they could have stilll been going today!

  • Thin Lizzy = Life style

    Phil Lynott = My Idol

    Gary Moore = Faking balls

    U2 = never heard, are they gays?

  • the spirit of Hendrix flows through the pixels.

  • Thin Lizzy and Aslan the best to come out of Ireland... along with the undertones and stiff little fingers

  • U2 are a bunch of fags..especially tat Bono...fuckin idiot out right!

  • Love it... I am a rocker too... R.I.P Phill

  • I bet even U2 would say these guys were awesome.

  • @UnclassicalPiano1 Ieant 2 vote up but voted down by accident. Sorry :(

  • FFS! It is Eric Bell playing this stunnig guitar.

  • @WettexSlips Yh it wa Eric Bell:) . Eric Bell played on it, but it's Gary Moore in the video :)

  • Gary Moore is really acting out the "wild rock guitarist " role in this video !

  • i dont care what anyone says, this is where kings of leon got their sound from. their early stuff sounds exactly like this.

  • how can you not like U2? idiots

  • Anyone see Bracknell sports centre 73 . that spot light off his steel bass was so freaky back then .

  • Everybody laugh at U2, they suck ass. Thin Lizzy is a real Rock n Roll band.

  • needs more cowbell...........no seriously it does!

  • U2 ? HAHAHAAAAAAA make me laugh !

  • love how they cut out the 5+ minute bad ass solo on Eric Bells guitar which made the fucken song in the first place OUT. Heaven forbid leave an element of coolness to it

  • thank you for posting this!!

  • wasn't there a second guitar player?

  • Comment removed

  • @shurdi3 The second time Moore came back and the third he had Scott Gorham but this was just after Eric Bell so it was just Moore until he left then Robbo and Scott came.

  • THIN LIZZY LIES AT THE HEART OF ROCK.

  • Please do not compare any wanker/posers like U2 to a real rock band. There are more great rock bands not included in ther "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" than there are in it. Thin Lizzy is in the People's R&R HOF...

  • really hollow sound to it! Sounds unreal on the Live & Dangerous album! What a band! Ireland just don't make em like they used to!

  • oh man they cut the solo

  • BEST ROCK BAND EVER

  • im rocker

  • The guitar solo is one of the greatest solos in the history of rock, nuff said

  • u2 is the worst shit ever! I listen to soft shit sometimes but damn. u2 sucks!

  • John Sykes was my favorite Thin Lizzy guitar player. that guy is fuckin great

  • they cut out the bad ass guitar solo WTF. I don't think Gary Moore plays on this song. I think it's Brian Robertson

  • @MacDisel1 It was Eric Bell on the original. Moore replaced Bell when Bell walked off during a tour.

    Robertson played on the live version which DID kick ass.

  • this is the first time i ever listened to this song.... i think i just peed my pant its so amazing

  • great....

  • Thin Lizzy > U2.

    Need I say any more?

  • Sorry but U2 is not even a band...Lizzy guys can drink and fight all night!

  • @iga123s I agree totally with you. But still, why did you have to desecrate this awesome video by mentioning that crappy-ass "band".

  • @kaktuscar86 Sorry guys, but Its just my opinion....I just love bands with balls, and U2 don t have them!

  • @iga123s He, he, Rođače, pa to sam ti ja napisao i prvi put. Ajd' pozdrav. :)

  • @kaktuscar86 hahaha, dobro san se iznenadija!

  • @iga123s actually u2 is a band

  • I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT U2 WERE IRISH! WHO ARE THOSE GUYS ANYWAY! ROCK N' ROLL BITCHES!!!!

  • Lizzy is overall a better band yea but bono's voice is fucking awesome, you can't bring u2 down, they do can and still rock, just for a softer audience then u apparently

  • @axel4clover1

    Clean your ears. Bono sounds like a wounded dog. I like U2, but Bono must be absolutely painful to listen to with any music. Put a bullet in his head and put him out of misery.

  • @666sigma LOL! God can have Bono if he gives us Phil Lynott back!

  • @666sigma what, he sounds like a wounded dog, ok post a video of a wounded dog whimbering next to bono's vocals for in the name of love, two Thin Lizzy is a better band RIP Lynott

  • 28 people are not Rockers.

  • U2 are are a buncha pussies & they suck ass!

  • Phil Lynott was just plain cool, an Irish Hendrix on bass..Lizzy's twin guitar harmony leads were great: one, if not the first, of bands to excell at it in the hard rock arena.

  • Best Video I've Ever Seen On YouTube!! Love It!!!

  • U2 can suck it, Lizzy are rock gods

  • @NinjaJedi11 Bono is a lump of shit, tbh!

  • Sick shit! Had my eyes like O____O the whole time.

  • Bruce Sprinschtien meets Jim Hendrix one day sharing their worst nightmares>>>>

  • R.I.P. GARY and PHIL!

  • @Oldminer50 omg Phil is dead, i hated Genesis though

  • Hey this tune is sick, Please check out the intense sounds of DIRTY BEARD the sensational British blues stoner rock band on DIRTYBEARDTUBE

  • Er: I don't think this is '74. The short Afro, the dog tags, the background images: this is '78. Can anyone find a clearer version of this performance, or any other performance of The Rocker post-Live and Dangerous, to upload as a birthday present to this stranger? Sure hope so!

  • @eglantinelass If this were '78 the guitarists would be Gorham and Moore. This is just Gary Moore miming to the original Eric Bell guitar track, less the solo. Also if this were '78, wouldn't the quality just be much better anyway?

  • @eglantinelass If this were '78 the guitarists would be Gorham and Moore. Or possibly still Gorham and Robertson. This is just Gary Moore miming to the original Eric Bell guitar track (less the solo) which puts it in '74. Also if this were '78, wouldn't the quality just be much better anyway?

  • phil rory gary all left stuff to enjoy

    long live music, even the stuff i dont like

  • It's Eric Bell on guitar!

  • Our Thoughts Go Out To The Legend of Gary Moore !!!!

  • @jettcenterfold - yes but not on this track!

  • R.I.P Gaz

  • RIP Gary Moore :(

  • i really gonna miss him.R.I.P

  • gary moore for ever RIP

  • RIP Gary

  • RIP Gary.

  • Are you sure it's Gary Moore on guitar (yes I know it's him on film) - but sounds exactly like Eric Bell's playing on the single...

  • R.I.P. Gary Moore A finer guitarist you will never see.

  • R.I.P Gary Moore =(

  • RIP GARY MOORE :(

  • rip gary moore you ledgend!

  • RIP Gary Moore 

  • I heard Gary Moore deceased, is that true ?

  • Phil Lynott you badass mother F*#@ker. How is anybody suppost to follow that?

  • If you are a heterosexual male and don't like this song.....you are a pussy. That's a fact Jack....

  • @robertblue Dead set correct! This music should be used as a homo detector. Dont like it.... your gay! Simple!

  • @robertblue i've heard songs with more balls than this, fact

  • @theachtungtree WHY ARE YOU HERE. I'm not trying to be rude but if Thin Lizzy seem like Crapola to you then GO LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF POSTING HATE COMMENTS. Are you THAT bored. Jeez. Some people like Thin Lizzy you obviously don't so GO THE HELL AWAY. Sorry if this comes across as rude, But I love Thin Lizzy.

  • @RayCrayon16 well...at least they're better than gaga, beiber or some shit like that

  • @theachtungtree at LEAST!? of course they're better than gaga an co. my pet rat can sing better than Beiber.

  • @RayCrayon16 yeah...my butthole sings better than him too

  • iplayer BBC4 Legends from 21 Jan - brilliant was on last night TV just watched again on iplayer, highly recommend it . Saw original line up Jan 1974 in Fulham, soooo pregnant - thank god my daughter was three weeks late being born(she is now 36)-so got to se TL - happy days

  • agreed - Lizzy were the best band that came out of my Ireland. U2? lol...dont make me laugh....boring, pretenious twats! Saw Lizzy years ago in Belfast...brill. They would blow U2 clean of the stage anyday of the week

  • @TheStevo37 U2 has good songs, mister....just because they sold 200 million albums doesent mean that they are crap. They were decent in the 80ies.

  • @TheStevo37 To be fair, U2 are an awesome live act. Say what you like about them. Sadly I never witness Lizzy live, but it's better than u2 live, then fair balls to them.

  • Gary Moore rocks so hard in the video whit the king RIP Phil Lynott. Awesome!!

  • these are the original bad asses.

  • RIP Phil, had a 25 yo Glenfarclas for you, I know you would have appreciated

  • Fekin light years ahead of his time....R.I.P Phil fella!

  • the extended version is sooooooooo dirty (good way)

  • Yeahh pass me that damm whiskey.this is great music. Are the Irish not living on rock and beer anymore? I don`t know what has happend to the world anymore, slainte =)

  • i think the guitar player is not gary moore..........i am quite sure

  • @MrPedrobola

    It's a very young Gary Moore before he got the scar on his bake.

  • @Bangoslang69 bake?

  • @MrPedrobola - it's Eric Bell!!!

  • Why o' why is the guitar solo cut out of this song, I hate hearin the cut version...

  • I know it's bad for you - but heroin makes you look cool.

  • I sing this song everyday LOL. It's always stuck in my head.

  • What a fuckin AWESOME song \,,/ (-_-) \,,/

  • Thin Lizzy and Queen were my fave "new way" bands of the mid-70's....

  • Eric Bell made the record but I think that's Gary Moore in the video...

  • Actually, this is Eric Bell on guitar ... NOT Gary Moore.

  • the liz owns

  • Whatever happened to live music in those days so many bands that were this good and could play live week in and week out around the country making studio recordings really came 2nd to live work .

  • 28 modafuckas have seen this video

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't he just like Rock God Hendrix?

  • Live and Dangerous, one of the most acclaimed live rock albums ever, check out Motorhead, No Sleep till Hammersmith and Rory Gallagher, Bullfrog Blues.

  • this song waz in my head ALL DAY

  • First three albums (1971-73) are out now, remastered and with bonus tracks. :)

  • @Banner1979

    I've read that they're coming out - says it on wikipedia regarding the first 3 records, but I can't find them anywhere - not in store or online. Apparently it's been talked about for the last few years and kept getting put back. They were meant to come out in October this year - but have they???? It's killing me as they look great and I've recently really got into the early stuff.

  • @DeluxeReissue I've seen them available on amazon.co.uk. That's probably the best place to get them from.

  • @Banner1979

    Sweet - thanks for that. I just checked and yep, they're up there - finally!

  • @DeluxeReissue You're welcome. Glad you found them. :)

  • 28 people aren't rockers!!

  • @enternollie93 laaaaaaaaaaaaame

  • Know what's missing from today's rock music?

    Big, fat, chunky riffs like the one that powers this number along...that's what!

    ROCK & ROLL!!!!

  • @Spiderwebsider don't forget some good ol' solos :)

  • @Spiderwebsider - Just raw rock n' roll is what is missing from music period.

  • @Spiderwebsider

    Amen!!!!

  • @Spiderwebsider  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Spiderwebsider Yeah your right! Thats because modern music has gone all fem, faggy and gender neutral and music like this is for red blooded males only!

  • @boltonox Ladies love good rock too!!

  • @thehandsofeve Yeah sure they do, but they're very few and far between unfortunately and they're usually not part of the typical female music market. MOST FEMALES love all that fake lame/tame/ gay commercial crap music the Record Labels push out all the time. Hate all the trendy fashion ROCKER CHICK shit going around these days. Dumb dorks that think to be cool all you need to do is get a tatoo a piercing and wear Rock style clothes! Real Cool is a mental philosophy not a fashion trend.

  • @boltonox Agreed! These days rock is a fashion statement as you said. It's sad that people don't look back at the history of the music. I think most people generally listen to commercial music because they don't know any better and it's pushed so hard. Thin Lizzy is so underrated but it's great to see people still keeping the love alive!

  • @thehandsofeve Your right i guess, they don't know any better. Its a form of brain washing sort of like Communist dictatorships practice. Limit peoples choice's/experiences and introduce an engineered substitute and within 15 years the new generation don't know any better and will happily sing WIGGLES songs! Thank God for YT. Hopefully Real Rock music makes a come back but the record companies dont want that unless its one of their own FAKE studio owned and created "MONKEYS" Rock Band Artists!

  • @boltonox Victoria Legrand has a really grand voice, writes well and plays really awesome too...even if people hate beach house or whatever i think she's amazing

  • @theachtungtree sorry i think you must have got me mixed up with someone else. i dont know Victoria Legrand.

  • @boltonox no, you said something about great voices and bands so i mentioned her having a great voice and being on a band that many people seem to not digg that much, it's cool

  • @theachtungtree OH gotcha...sorry about that. Well i'll take a look at her then if you can recommend her. Cheers for that!

  • gandiose

  • wonderful

    

  • Why do people always bring up U2 on Lizzy videos? U2 are a pop band. Lizzy were fucking balls to the wall metal .... yes, METAL !

  • These guys were way ahead of their time

  • ,,Vagabonds of the western world,, Thin Lizzy the good album in 1973!

  • I think this is one of the best songs of Thin Lizzy.

  • love your channel; are you into festivals at all?

  • Another great song from a badass band!

  • look how young gary moore is on this !!! such a cool band !!!

  • awesome

  • @69tomasito seriously dude
