Phil Lynott's Grand Slam - Sisters of Mercy

[whitbyjet65]

I was born in the 60s, I was blooded on Thin Lizzy in the 70s & I'll go to the grave as a Lizzy/Phil Lynott fan.

[dannymcmince]

Sykes was every bit the guitar GOD!

[superyellowelephant]

what a man... a true hero

[dannymcmince]

I remember this in Lifford, Co. Donegal 1983, great memories!

@blacksabfan

- would love that link to the grand slam stuff - cheers mate - love lizzy and phil

[DoctorWho1983]

Wow great track from Grand Slam, I own everything lizzy but never really heard any GS

[dannymcmince]

ahy, the catholic church has alot to answer for, Philameno told the story, so called nuns and priests wre to look after the children, we all know what happened, disgracefull, holy Ireland, how dare you!

I have an alternative mix of this song it sounds amazing and I can't seem to find it on Youtube, will I email it to you? Its of a radio interview with Phil Lynott, Dublin 1984. The album came from a bonus cd from the studio sessions of grand slam, I don't know if any of it is up on Youtube but it should be it has Phil talking about his songs as the interview is interrupted by Grand Slam demo's, anyway I'l send it to you if you want it.

@nottoberemembered

I have the 2 disc studio sessions CD, as well as another disc with a few other "alternative" versions of some of the other songs. I eventually went ahead and combined all the Grand Slam demos and put them 2cdrs, both of which clock in at 65+ minutes. I've uploaded them online and can give you the links to download it you want. I also have a complete version of that same interview you mention, without the break ups. I think another user had posted it on here though.

@blacksabfan

As long as they're out there I'm happy. I'l probably get around to putting all this stuff on some blank cd's one of these days. You know if I ever get rich enough I'm going to buy the rights to all these unreleased songs and just put all them out there on some cheap cd's. Its a shame a load of rare Phil songs will never make it to a cd. Anyway in the meantime you have done and continue to do a fantastic job uploading all this and thanks for getting back to me.

[iamwar1]

@blacksabfan Hi I read your post on youtube, do you still have links to the Grand Slam demos album? would like to hear it. thanks

[pitchunfy]

muito boa essa musica, uma banda massa que esta no meu coraçao !

[pitchunfy]

maneirooooo!

[helenmonroe]

It hurts my heart to know that way too few people know about this wonderful, wonderful song! It's one of the best one they ever made. Man,this is the tune I show Thin Lizzy-virgins! It's just incredible

[jim2andthru]

Phil indicated in his last TV interview he was due to record a single with Gary Moore in January 1986 and it would have certainly been this song. It would be the 3rd single off his due solo LP after "19" and "One Wish" (which didn't get issued due to his tragic death).

[nottoberemembered]

A Lynot movie you serious!? That would be brilliant on a side note Phil was actually talked to by some movie producer guy to play as Jimi Hendrix in a movie about him but Phil got too deep with drugs and stuff would have been amazing though. I dont know how serious the movie guy was but he obviously found no one better than Phil otherwise he would of got someone else and it would be out now.

[Snakeseatcunt]

Song is so goddamn sick

[lynottspringsteen]

ok thx anyway :) And btw do you have any info of the lynott "my boy" movie. It should have allready come out last year?

[lynottspringsteen]

Dear mr blacksabfan, can you please upload the song talk behind my back from Philips solo album, please. Thx for keeping the legend, the man and the rocker alive.

[blacksabfan]

I could, but it would probably be pointless as it would end up removed by YouTube. That's why 95% of the stuff I post is unofficial stuff, and the rest usually just gets some ads put on it.

[RedXXX2007]

Thanks for uploading all these rare videos. Appreciated!

[germenmavg]

sencillamente genial

[daveturu]

great song phil forever love

[supersonicextreme750]

magnificent!

[hunglikeayak]

brilliant tune shame about the lame production:( i think if phil was still alive he would still be going strong :( LONG LIVE LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!

[NackaGymnasiumBasist]

The guitar solo in this song is sooo fuckin' awesome, too bad that the production is so lame. But that is how it was back in the 80's...

Rip Phil!

[philthy627]

This was just a demo, that's why the production is poor. Amazingly Grand Slam were unable to get a record deal.

[danny275]

It truly is a shame they were seen as a "second-rate Thin Lizzy". They could have been huge

[izzy891103]

wow this song just sent chills down my back, just wow.

does anyone get a bit of a Queen feel on this one.

[ole9872]

Hello new friend..! I have never heard this tune before.,cool shit!!peace

[markmca112]

Legend

[DivineCo]

The best band that never was.

[dethtiger]

Pense que la cancion era de TL, sorry.

[dethtiger]

Impresionante cancion,Thin lizzy es una de las mejores bandas de heavy metal.

[hdroadster55]

So much better than the old cassette I had lifted from a live gig! R.I.P Phil

[BaboonBro]

I will pm ya, blacksabfan.

Much more noice, samplin'stuff,

other tempo/pace etc. Not same vocal track.

On this he has at least two voices, not on mine. But I'll write ya.

[BaboonBro]

WOnderful - one of the greatest tracks by anyone ever... ! But is this from the Box Set???

[blacksabfan]

Yeah the "Vagabonds, Kings, Warriors, Angels" four-disc set. I have other versions too, but I wanted one up with good sound, and this was the best.

[BaboonBro]

Peculiar, because I have this box set and it sounds completely different. Is there an alternate box with a remixed rendition?

[blacksabfan]

I'm curious now...because even the live versions and other demo versions I have sound like this one. If you email me the track in question I could tell you straight away. Send me a message if you want and I'll give you my email.

[PhilLynott1949]

Grand Slam was damn great, Love this song thanks. R I P my hero xxxx

[lynottfan4]
