so this is where the infamous riff came from. It wasn't just Iron Maiden that used the intro, but so did Mercyful Fate, Riot, Dokken, Motley Crue, and many others.
'From the streets this rebel shall rise, and his soul shall soar to the skies'. R.I.P. Phil Lynott. 25 and half years have gone, but you'll never be forgotten.
why arent they in the R'n'R hall of "fame"

One of Phil's greatest talents was to surround himself with great musicians- w/o them he would be playing acoustic by himself. There I said it.

The finest singer songwriter of them all.The man was unique.
I saw him half a dozen times in the 70's mostly at the apollo in Manchester and those nights i will remember forever.
A poet and a true legend.I'd have loved to bought him a beer.

@NoRulesInNam This album is amazing. It's too bad it wasn't a double album. Scott Gorham really outdid himself on this one.

Correct. Iron Maiden guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are both noted as saying Thin Lizzy was an influence.
THIN LIZZY- Best rock and roll band of all time!
Love you Phil,you are the best my brother. RIP my dear friend.
For many years I have a drink to Phil and all he gave us.
