This band has mojo and soul!! One of my all time favorite rock bands EVER! I never tire listening to them.today's music is so blah and empty.I guess I will just have to keep listening to lizzy and all those great bands that america ignored back in the 70's.I'm only 44, but damn it! I knew good rock when I heard and felt it.
@ezrhino100 So True, hard to explain because there are so many facets to this band, so many elements to appreciate it is tuff to pin down and simply say Thin Lizzy is great because they ROCK! Phil's mellow and mid tempo tunes are equally as emotional as the heart pumping rockers! The beast holds the most beauty...a black leather rose.
@VictorRechnageL You forgot some: Rory Gallagher, Bobby Sands, Shane MacGowan, Donal Lunny, Sean Kelly, Mairead Farrell, Mary Black, Van Morrison, etc.etc.

@rudobuquadrant He did pass away 4. january- 86. From pneumonia. He did have a heavy drog abuse, so I guess you could say that his body could´nt deal with the infection. A sad , sad day : (
why were lizzy so under rated? they fukin ruled. cos of english media shite during the 70's making irish things insignificant/cowards afraid of the IRA ? makes you wonder.
@metalheadoj666 As far as enjoyment and plain rocking out, there is no winner between AC/DC and Thin Lizzy. They both rocked hard. Percentage wise of course AC/DC spends more time rocking hard because that's the only thing they do. However in terms of artistic achievement and versatility there is no arguing that Thin Lizzy is the clear winner. Technically speaking, they are the more rounded band.
@zapwatt No arguement here. Its mood based. If your out drinking and getting wasted, you want AC/DC. If your paying more attention to the music, Thin Lizzy
@metalheadoj666 i wouldnt even consider putting ac/dc in the same league as lizzy. but dont get me wrong ac/dc are a great band put somehow thin lizzy are different....in an incredibly likeable way
wen i woz lke 7 i woz gunna go see lizzy,, i woz soooooo lookin forward to see lynott n meet him (give me a break i woz 7) n ven my dad told me he woz not wiv us nemore n i totally cried!!
wrong, level with queen, queen had some really progressive shit, ac/dc is pretty much 20 albums of back in black, transposed into different keys and slightly different lyrics
Most Americans nowadays would rather gossip on their cell phones about their favorite kind of cheese instead of fighting for, let alone dying for, their freedoms which are being taken away by congress and the Bush administration. I believe in the Freedom Song doesn't matter what Bush does to me.
Thanks for posting this....This is one of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs....The band was starting to get their sound together on the Fighting album...And come together it did on this brilliant track.
if i ever find myself about to be hanged, then i'm singing this song as my last words :) fucking love thin lizzy

As a young lad growing up in Liverpool Phil was my idol.
Thin Lizzy represented everything a rock band should be.
Cool,Tough and Sexy, they had it all. It was his songs most of all,
songs that transcended of music at that time. Emerald..."Down from the glen came the marching men"
....."They'd come to claim the Emerald, without it they could not leave"...
Wow.....I miss Phil.

I got the Thin Lizzy 1975 live tour of England.
I always wondered in the later years why they didn't do more songs off the fighting or the nightlife albums.
There are so many great songs on those two, on the live 1975 they do fighting,it's only money,wild one and for those who love to live.
In my opinion these songs stood out as much as any on the effort.
This song is one of the all time songs period, you got to hand it to Phillip and the guys they were the best band period!
