  • Why would someone start this leon vs Thin Lizzy crap, what the hell, fucking no respect history anymore.

  • ....ooohhhhhh....I'm just kidding...

    

  • what the fuck do the kings of leon have to do with classic thin lizzy.....get the fuck out!

  • in my humble opinion, KOL sounds like most other modern bands today - how the **** are they classified as southern rock on wikipedia?? makes no sense...there is no rock nowadays, it's all alternative -_- (well mostly).... thin lizzy's way better :)

  • KOL DID NOT send me here!! thin lizzy did

  • his music kept me going strong on patrol in the mil.

  • @TheNudeEskimo

    KOL suck.

  • @TheNudeEskimo Yeah now we know who they stole from.

  • Thin Lizzy were superb. Such talent probably will never arise again now or in the future. Count myself lucky to have seen them live & proud as f**k

  • Is it really Phil singing, he sound so dark?

  • phil lynott was born in sandwell general hospital not great bridge.

  • ive been reading the responses to this track. here's the deal. Phil Lynott was born in great Bridge, west brom. his mom took him to ireland to grow up. the fact is he's a black country boy not an irish lad. yes he got the lingo right. but its like the acdc boys being mostly scotish..as far as the kol goes. if they're inspired by lizzy, thats great. one feather in their cap for them. do they or have they captulated a lizzy crowd with their own style of music ? then i'm afraid the answer is no!!!!

  • @motortot41 The best comment on this entire thread;)

  • KOL, Thin Lizzy, WHO CARES IT'S ALL AMAZING ROCK PEOPLE

  • @Jemimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa no it's not! Philo & Lizzy hold their own.. Phil was ORIGINAL and making moves better than anyone. with his dance and rock n roll fusion

  • @dogmunch fair enough, i'm just happy loving both!

  • Never heard any kings of leon-all I know is Thin Lizzy are fuckin brilliant rock.

  • @OnlyAPawn1970 I agree I don't see how a bunch of whiney college boys come across as artistic

  • @leegeddyfan ahahah they never went to college and ive never heard anybody call them "artistic", they are far from it.

    Thin Lizzy is musically a much better band but KoL is also a good band.

  • @OnlyAPawn1970 hell yea fuck those faggots, PHIL LYNOTT FOREVER!!!!!

  • Knew this before Kings of Leon song. The two are equally brilliant musically, just separated by time. Stop bitching and accept that you can only compare bands when both are playing at the same time. We don't know how great KOL are going to be. All we know is that Thin Lizzy became great, and thats the sort of comparison people go on, but its wrong

  • hey good music is good music.just because you dont understand kol doesnt erase the fact that they understood thin lizzy.dont be a music snob.it makes you look desperate.

  • Thank you Phil, so so much, saved my life....so what if other bands have brought other people here, its how different generations discover music now, calm down... can we please not all just appreciate the majesty of Lizzy, i'm 21 and ive been a Lizzy fan all my life, you dont have to be 50 or Irish to love the music, its not what they would have wanted, just rock out together, revel in the sheer poetic beauty of Mr Lynott...I'm a Irishman wishing peace love and fucking anarchy to all!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MissCottonSocks

    Fair enough, I agree. But I also agree in finding your own music because of your own tastes. Listening to somethign because you think its a work of art and because its sculpted YOUR life, not someone elses. All I'm saying is if you found this place because someone told you to, good for you. If you found this out of the love and passion of searching for years and endless hours just because, then yea, maybe you dont wanna hear about kins of leon..

  • If KOL brought you here you should turn around and leave cause you found this sacred place for the wrong reasons completely.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheWackyAntics At least they found it? This is perhaps my favourite Lizzy song, but I only found it after about a 3 year obsession which began with the songs The Boys Are Back In Town, Waiting for an Alibi and Dancing in the Moonlight. (I'm not devaluing these songs at all, I just know some fans don't think this is the right way to discover the band either) It's not where you're coming from, it's where you're going to.

    Please don't make potential fellow fans think we're all wankers.

  • @TheWackyAntics good music is good music, who the fuck cares what brought us here? KOL or not, it's a good song and if its getting more exposure, then thats great. and if you don't appreciate that, then you're not really a thin lizzy fan at all. don't be a fucking music snob, i hate these damn hipsters and shit who thinks everyones a poser

  • well if your talking about KOL sending you here etc.. Mollys chambers was also inspired by Thin Lizzys version of whiskey in the jar..and that was when Kol were cool haha

  • Still have my original LP copy(about 300 miles away) but no record player to play it on anymore!

  • Why is evryone talking about kol ???

  • @JACKOJACKO121 Pickup Truck, a song from the KOL, was inspired by this song, and Caleb Followill talks about this song in an interview

  • Brings back such fond memories of when I ran a bikers pub in Liverpool!!

  • Brings back such fond memories of when I ran a bikers pub in Liverpool!!

  • This song was written about me,or others like me,we just didn't know it then?I have since found my way,but never lost sight of where I have been.Love this,and all Thin Lizzy songs!!

  • @taturner60141 Hey man the just released 5-7 remastered albums and Renegade was one of them. Just ordered it

  • What is wrong with these fuckwits DISliking Thin Lizzy? I can't get my head round it o_O

  • READING ROCK 26/27/28 AUGUST 1983, they were great days.

  • the reason this song is so good is simple Phil can relate to the margins as he was not from a normal background. It is in fact a testament to him what he actually managed to achieve.

    PHIL RIP

  • @o0RubberSoul0owhy does it matter if I know anything about their line up situations? You aren't getting the point of what I was trying to say which was any way you slice it be it musicality or the lyrical aspect of the song, all in all black sabbath are a much more intricate band when it comes to the stuff that matters to me as a listener. I wasnt ever trying to insult them or you, merely offering another persons reasons for not thinking they are a brilliant band as you say

  • @o0RubberSoul0o black sabbath aren't really that simple. You could pick on KISS I guess but you aso missed the part about pop music boring the hell outta me sabbath have much more energy, variations in tempo, and songs that deal with a far greater range of topics than any pop rock band could ever hope to write. Not to mention musicianship. Iommi, geezer butler, and bill ward slay anyone whos ever been in kings of leon

  • You cant have Thin Lizzie to yourselt. Music is for everyone.

    You are not special because you knew what thin lizzie was before. Just like hundreds of babies are born every minute - you cant do anything to keep people from discovering music through someones influences.

  • @o0RubberSoul0o well from the metalhead side of things I cant say KOL are terrible or anything but they are just too poppy sonding and as much as I try to be open to different styles pop music is just way too simple and boring for me

  • You all see the downfall of this Earth after Phil died, dont you? Music will never be the same, as nobody can ever surpass the simple genious of Mr.Lynott...

    I weep for the world...

    R.I.P. old bugger<3

  • fucking ledgendry tune writen by heros

  • @Pagra101

    few seconds ago i've listen that KOL song and I must say, they aren't even close Thin Lizzy level, the vocal is absolutely horrible

  • @Pagra101

    Me too

  • @Pagra101 did they do a cover ?????

  • @Pagra101 how? did they cover this ? cant find it

  • @Pagra101 how did they send you here

  • @Pagra101 just make sure you never go back!

  • This masterpiece set the standard for a rock ballad... and it is not a rock ballad.

  • This album is a masterpiece,without a doubt my personal favorite Lizzy album.

  • Talk about a masterpiece. Rest in Peace Phil Lynott and Gary Moore.

  • I remember when I got this album and the first time i put it on, it blew my mind and until today it has the same effect on me!!!

  • RIP...Gary Moore dead at age 58.

  • Great song! Red/Black flag of anarchy!

  • this was on of the firstsongs I ever heard form thin lizzy, and I just became very identify with this song ( sorry for my english,). I don't know why Thin Lizzy was so overlooked, but in a way I think it is better this way ;cause some of the greatest things don't have to be appreciated by everyone, and that's what makes tnem special.

  • When I Think of Lizzy, I think about Phil, and today I cry Gary's Death. They may not have the fame they deserved, but like all the giants, they never needed fame to be great! Thanks Everynoe For your comments supporting Lizzy's music !

    

  • I still see the reflectionlight from Phill's bass.....Great great band

  • This is damn good album, better than Snowy White`s other album China Town, which has also good catchy songs. Lynott has also great lyrics, soulful voice.

  • so incredible.

  • Amazing Song

  • By far the best album Lizzy ever did, full of classic tracks, riffs and hooks, the pinnacle is this album and was never bettered.

  • You see where the Kings of Leon get their inspiration from. Top band Thin Lizzy!

  • i fucking hate kings of leon...fucking curly cock sucking arsewipes

  • KOL is short for Kings of Leon which is a band. They have a song which is similar to this called pick up truck... that band is great along with this band

  • Downey always makes my teeth rattle. I nearly just dislocated my shoulder air drummin! GDamn he's a bad ass. Thx TLFanPage for all the entertainment. Lovin Lizzy since '75.

  • Thin Lizzy thought me how to play guitar. I'll ALWAYS love this band! R.I.P Phil, but LONG LIVE THIN LIZZY!!!

  • best Irish band ever...way better than boring old pretenious U2. Saw Lizzy many years ago in Belfast, they would blow U2 clean off the stage anyday

  • @TheStevo37 My friend you could not be more right.............I've been spouting those exact words for 20 years now! I saw them many times here in California back in the day. Imagine TL vs. U2 both in their prime if we could. Believe me Bono's band is an hour warm up set for the BOYS!

  • why are people talking about Kings of Leon? ... what's the link?

  • @kjojohnson KoL did a song called "pickup truck" and they say it was inspired by this song. it's easy to see the songs have similar structure.

  • Proud to say i am from the black country and lived in blackheath (sandwell) where i believe lynott was born and spent a short time living..

  • @crakhamma me to :) im from more the dudley netherton side though :)

  • lies we're here because this is the best fucking band ever

  • To think that most of the comments here are talking about KOL. KOL will never come close to the legend that is Thin Lizzy! If you want to talk about KOL do it somewhere else.

  • @Hellrun True, and therefore all comments with "KOL sent me here" and similar are deleted.

  • @ThinLizzyFanpage your a little harsh on kol, kol is a great band, when you listen to their stuff that isnt played on the radio. this band has a big influence on kol. They're not trying to be best, they just like to make music. They just happened to get really popular and isnt that what every musician wants, to have poeple listen to their music? Julian Casablancas from the strokes always said that too. Sorry my english is not that good.

  • @Midnightpitbull2 is this why the cut there hair and started to dress smart so they could go into the pop genre?

  • @christoffski101 it mayb, my hate remains the same nun the less

  • @christoffski101 yeah, i think they got tired of looking like hill billies lol

  • @ThinLizzyFanpage what is KOL?

  • @JustAnotherYtuber Stands for Kings of Leon

  • @Hellrun what is KOL?

  • @Hellrun The reason KOL is mentioned so much is that on there new album there is a song called Pick Up Truck and KOL openly claims that when they composed it they said "This is our renegade" in the same interview they have mentioned how much the love this song. So yea, the mention of KOL stems from there and i am in agreement with you KOL can never be like Lizzy

  • @Hellrun

    wtf is KOL? Anyways this is a great song, and fantastic album. I saw critics giving this 2 stars, and I was shocked. Eh, fuck what they think, it's what the fans think that matters, and I saw great reviews from them. :)

  • @DeathMagneticRemastr

    You're kidding right?

    You don't know who the Kings of Leon are?

    You're missing out..

  • @Vapours2k8

    I didn't recognize the abbreviation. Fuck Kings Of Leon. That's music for homos. I'm not missing out on shit. This is the real deal.

  • @Hellrun I would never dare to compare KOL to TL. KOL is still fancy roofer while TL has a Bengal tiger reputation:) So why did they call themselves Kings of Leon?

  • @Hellrun .. here here!!!

  • @Hellrun I bought tickets to this tour in america when i was 15, they cancelled the tour.

    Probably because of phil and scotts addiction. which we didnt know then.But , this was the last time we were ever going to see them as a band ever again.but, we didnt know it then.

    Thats why this album is a little more bittersweet than any other. thanks. i think its one of their best albums.

    and snowy white fit with them, more than john sykes.But, robbo was the best.

  • I love the compositon of this song.... it`s perfect. This is a very underated Lizzy album

  • so unbelievably proud to say I'm Irish. Sure, our country is falling apart at the seams financially, but look at our music scene! We rock! :D

  • @Julietthefrenchgreek, You can be proud, Thin Lizzy is really is one of the graetest band of the rock, hard rock era and the core of the band was basically irish (Phil and Brian who know each other since childhood) except Scott who is from US.

  • KOL is shit

    Thin Lizzy Rules

  • this song is beautiful. Creative. awesome and with meaning

  • i'm lost for words. this song is. woah.

  • This one of the most outstanding albuns ever. I've embedded it to my blog.

  • Phil Lynnot = Genius.

  • maailman paras....tepan kans haettiin muuttokuorma turusta... nissan homerilla....vedetiin brenkkua jiskus 1980 päästiinhän me ouluun joskus........

  • Ths song is about me.

  • I always loved thin lizzy. My mom used to play the records all the time <3

  • I have a feeling Thin Liizzy is gonna gain some new fans in coming weeks! =) I'm really lovin this song!

  • great song. : )

  • one of the best thin lizzy songs, the lyrics fit my life and life style,

    i'm a miserable old bastard in the uk at the mo,

    thanks for posting the song on youtube.

    A real pleasure to find it's been a long time.

  • THIS SONG IS ABOUT MEEEE

  • I like this song, I like Thin Lizzy:))

    Hello from Slovenia-Žetale

  • I like this song, I like Thin Lizzy:))

    Hello from Slovenia-Žetale

  • this is one of my favourite Lizzy songs, brilliant, i saw them in 1979 in a plce called dromkeen, co. linerick, Phil was a genius, he's a big loss

    -

  • @wilfogarty dromkeen? '79? lucky you!i knew they were there but i was only15yrs,and just down the road, in cappamore.the renegade album turned me off, cos of the keyboards, at the time,now its my fovrout lizzy album!

  • hi ppl do u know where i can find bass tab for this?and dont say internet

  • Best Thin Lizzy album... Amazing

  • savage song,my dad showed me this years ago,xD findly found it again,

    awh,lizzy,

    theyve got a song for every mood

    listening to them since i was like 8=]

  • Nice to see some people like this song as much as I do! Where are you people in the real world?

  • Rio de Janeiro!! probably the only person who knows Thin Lizzy in my city !

  • Can anyone tell me why that strange flag is on the album cover? Phil forever!

  • @AnotherPittsburgher That looks like the Flag of Vietnam to me, but im not quite sure. =)

  • What a track! great.

  • he's just a boy ...thats all ...

  • all you guys listening this vid are RENEGADES!

  • Phil At his best here !! lizzy lives forever !!

  • Thin Lizzy Rocks!

  • greatest

  • omg you sound so tough throughout this song. some real silvester stallone kind of image

  • thin lizzy doesnt get the respect that they should lynott died too soon if lynott would have lived thin lizzy would have been recognized as one of the greastest bands EVURR

  • @shaq3862 You are right on the Money this band was just kick Butt rock. Lynott died much to soon.

  • never kind of Lizzy

  • I don't get it. Any critics comentary I've read about this album said stuff like "Phill not up to usual standard" and the like. THEY HAVEN'T GOT A FUCKING CLUE. There's a few more gems on Renegade that I don't see on YT at the moment. I may make the effort to get my vinyl on to YT but I'm making no promises. And Phil, if you can hear me up there (or probobly down there) KEEP ON ROCKIN' DUDE

  • @Corkscrewkenny you are right I have this album it is great the problem is people only hear The Boys are back in town and don't realize all the other great stuff they put out.

  • Comment removed

  • saw thin lizzy quite a few times in the early 80s they were the best band around for me . fuckin great live ! its a pity they ended the way they did. say no more.

  • Que rolona...

  • everyone loves this song, if not, they just haven't heard it yet!

  • Only 17,227 views, wtf? I can't believe it. This song is epic. I could never figure out why Thin Lizzy were so overlooked.

  • @Cytacon I agree man!! Unreal song! I'd say half the views are of the same people looking up this song! Im always throwing this on when Im on youtube!

  • my all time favorite album and one of my all time favorite songs . great sound on your post ..... NICE ONE!!!!!!!

  • Awesome text..... read between the lines :-) get my drift ?

  • love it...............

  • SOUNDS GOOD!!!!

  • good on ya brother....Im with ya all the way on that one.

  • Huge thanks for uploading this. It's a special wonder to me that Lizzy came up with such a futuristic song. I mean that in the most complimentary sense, they just kept pushing the boundaries of their music. And that this song came at such a late late stage in their career is even more breathtaking. Thankyou!

  • Exelant, seen them in the capital in aberdeen in 83, BLISS

  • Certainement un grand groupe, sans doute. Ils(elles) n'ont pas eu toute la reconnaissance qui était méritée

  • Phil Lynott,best frontman EVER!

  • Thank you for this one, too, ThinLizzyFanpage! :-) Incomparable, is what this is. Phil & TL forever...however sad this one may be. :-/

  • The world's greatest ever band

  • @digbycurrents yes it is:I

  • You gotta love Phil Lynott. Nothing can match his voice and intensity!!! Byoof

  • yo creci con thin lizzy putos todo lo dema s a la mierda !!!!!!!!!!

  • encore une fois génial et toujours meilleur groupe pop de tout les temps

    à quand la reconnaissance de ce groupe ???

  • Super fed sang

  • great song

  • amazing.! cant wait until 4th jan.!

  • why doesn't everyone love this song???? its so great!!!

  • @muchna yea, you are right. i think this was one of their underrated songs but anyways its a great song

  • @muchna

    that´s the question. I don´t know!!! Thin Lizzy!!!!!!

  • @muchna

    I love it!

  • @muchna I Love It. A friend of mine played the record for me almost 30 years ago, I haven't heard it since. Today suddenly I was celebrating is strength and needed badly to hear... So defiant... Take care, God bless...

  • good going philo

  • phil! the bass GURU

  • this song is so underrated its not even funny!!

  • Agree 100%. When I'm in a certain mood I always put this song on. I can't define what that mood is, but that just speaks to the genius of the song, nothing else compares!

  • I agree with the whole "mood" idea.

    "Renegade" and "The Pressure Will Blow" are my two favorites off of the Renegade album, but the others are good, too. Overall, Renegade is way underrated in the Thin Lizzy discography.

  • Philip....Ive loved you since I was 2....thanks for being brilliant and making us miss you...

  • 2 ??? come on - lol
