john sykes rockin it in an irish pub. Fuckin epic. Look at him shred that shit. And btw u2 arent a bad band, they have some good songs. Not in the same league as thin lizzy OBVIOUSLY. And kydos whats wrong with not paying taxes? lol the corrupt as fuck capitalist society dosent need more taxes, in fact they need less. Paying taxes and being proud of it makes you worse than people that are proud of not paying them.
Boyoz, I am an Aussie thru & thru and I could agree with you more!! Thin Lizzy Rocked!! and were DEFINITELY the best rock band to come out of Ireland !!!
This ROCKS! My favorite version of the song on YouTube. Audio's a little muffed (dude was probably way too close to the P.A.) but hey, you can't get any better than 10 ft or less from one of the GREATEST ROCK BANDS EVER! This is the way to see them. 'Coz after the show, you won't be able to hear much if you have any eardrums left at all.
@1986Lynott Hi Peter, are you still mixing sound? I`m just back here in Cork tonite after visiting the Phil Lynott expo in Dublin, great memories of him and the band, Philomena was there and meant to ask her about you but didn`t get round to it.
Fuck U2......their name shouldn't even be polluting a Thin Lizzy video. The Edge said that the guitar is a glorified peice of wood and that an effects pedal is everything that makes a guitar. Shows what a musician he is......
@foosrockguitarriffs Sorry, what? Unless you have superman eyes you have only see less than half of the solo, and even the bit you do see is quite hard to decipher.
Great song by a great band. John Sykes and Scott Gorham were awesome together just like when "Robbo" was in the band playing dual leads with Scott. I agree with fiveortenbren about Thin Lizzy being the best Irish rock band.
Sergioloser you are absolutely right about Canadian radio. It's shit! The CBC only plays, "art" music and if you aren't a struggling shit band from Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal you'll never get heard. Canadians reward failure and punish success for some weird reason. Too, many fucking Liberal whiners in Canada I guess.
CBC is the one single federal radio station. Every city has its own radio stations just like American cities. CBC is a little artsy, but it's not remotely representative of what people listen to in their cars or basements.
Unfortunately here in Canada, due to the limited minds of the FM stations, and CRTC regulations, you only hear 2-3 songs on the radio (Boys Are Back in Town, Jailbreak and maybe The Cowboy Song) by Phil and co. Thunder and Lightning is a great album - one of Thin Lizzy's best. None of the rock fans I know listen to these guys. What a shame! Check out Live in Sydney (1978) if you get the chance, short but very sweet, with Gary Moore on guitar. Man I love that guy's playing!
Excuse me, is that John Sykes on the left side playing a Les Paul? Who plays that finger tapping solo. And who is the dude on the right side? It's Mike Stern, right?
Sorry emotional invalid you are so wrong. Thin Lizzy are without doubt the best live band I have ever seen or heard, always great. I have saw Phil do this live in a pub in Bannockburn ( The Tamdhu ) It was when Phil's Band, Grand Slam were on tour, could not hear anything but ringing for two days. SUPERB !
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is really lame. they had some good tunes in the mid 70's though. the guitar solo here is all flash in the pan, no soul, blues or sweat and tears in it.
@emotionalinvalid they had some good tunes wtf are you on about?this is a real rock n roll band not some made up record company scam,and whats this "the guitar solo is all flash in the pan,no soul,blues orsweat and tears in it"you must be listening to something else,and lame you reckon,how do you work that out?your user name sums you up EMOTIONAL INVALID you are a massive fuckwit
The quastion is who hasn't shagged Tawny Katean. That slut was with OJ Simpson. Then she got arrested for beating on her Pro Baseball player husband. What a pyshco slut
Great solo? Master? Sounds to me like John was just doing exercises on the guitar. And the finger tapping thing is an attempt to jump on the Van Halen bandwagon. And listen to the notes he's playing, then listen to Deep Purple's "Burn". Tell me if you don't hear the similarity. Not remarkably original.
yes it is a great solo and no it's nothing like burn and john sykes is amazing player try listening to some whitesnake he did.and remember this was done in a pub with no special gear.
I'm talking about the finger tapping part- listen to the notes he's playing, then listen to the part in Burn where Blackmoore and John Lord are playing a unison passage after the guitar solo. Very similar, whether you are willing to believe it or not. And yes I do play guitar. You wouldn't like my style though- not as fast as Sykes purposely.
The tapping part yes your right it does sound similar to burn i had a listen.Listen to john sykes play the crying in the rain solo from the 1987 whitesnake album
i pretty much like most styles of guitar playing so i might like your style.
This is actually from a British TV show fronted by Chris Tarrant. (Who is a bit of a rocker himself) He regularly had the likes of Phil and Rick Parfitt on his various shows in the late seventies and eighties.
I've said this ad nauseum, and I live by it. As a person of Irish descent, I do declare that Thin Lizzy is the greatest band to ever come from the Emerald Isle. And yes, I have heard of U2.
Yes sir it is indeed, shortly before he wrote that ENTIRE REALLY BIG WHITESNAKE album that they talk about on VH1 all the time, and then they fired him.
@fiveortenbren oh man they shit on u2,thin lizzy were real hard dirty rock n rollers not like the commercial pap that most others do,these guys lived and breathed rock n roll and it shows
@fiveortenbren Sorry Mate! There's a lad named Rory that trumps just about everything from Eire since St Patrick and his pals on harp.... and they were angels.
Ugh Jesus the thought of Lizzy being compared to U2 makes me feel uneasy, Bono is an embarrassment and Edge is a rubbish guitarist compared to the likes of Eric Bell or Gary Moore, in fact he's rubbish even compared to me in my room.
Bono's voice has far less character than Lynott's and his songwriting is a farcry from Phil's prowess.
U2 don't even pay taxes to the Irish government so in my eyes they're just deserting wankers and can all go get fucked
@outtacastatv And I was born in America which makes me American. So fix your English grammar you illiterate cunt. Internet tough guy huh? Mommy let you use the computer? Do society a favor and fall on a knife.
@outtacastatv you've got serious issues. Get counseling. You gonna be the next one who shoots up a university? Don't have the balls to show your face in your videos, do you? Get a fucking life. Over and out.
isnt that the bridge house pub in london where iron maiden were disovered and rory gallagher used to play at times?? could be wrong!! excellent find thanks!!!
Oh God what an amazing video! Thanks for uploading! That's what metal is really about, going to a small pub, getting drunk with friends and listening to loud awesome music. Phil Lynott was a genius and a sweet man.
