Thin Lizzy

[ripley156]

Does anyone here think Thin Lizzy is one of the truly under-rated bands of all time? I just downloaded "Black Rose" and it is freaky good...I have "Jailbreak" and "Dedication" and everytime I listen to any of it, I just get floored. I am seriously thinking about completeing the catalog...All of the different line-ups were kick-ass and man, could Phil write songs!

It's weird, they are kind-of like Corn Flakes...

I really like Corn Flakes but never think about eating them until they are all that is left...Once I pour a bowl, I remember that they are actually pretty good! Thin Lizzy reminds of that...I never think about how great they are until I pop-in a disc. (Then I feel guilty for forgetting, lol!)

Re: Thin Lizzy

awsome band, I like Thunder And Lighting album A LOT, John Sykes played on it, "Holy War" has one of the best solos ever made IMHO.

Re: Thin Lizzy

I just have "Dedication(?)" which is a best of. I like it. "Boy are Back in Town" has one of the greatest guitar tones of all time.

Re: Thin Lizzy

I have all their albums.. beein' a great fan helps..

I think Scott is a very underestimated guitar player, and he held his place well besides Gary.

I'm a huge fan. Every incarnation of Lizzy kicked ass.

Re: Thin Lizzy

yup, big fan here...got into them only last year, now I love a lot of the albums.
I think they're underrated because people never look past "boys are back in town" which is actually just a silly track and not anywhere near Phil's best work....but the simple songs are always the most popular ones! So there ya have it [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Thin Lizzy

I wish I had a nickle for every time I played "The Cowboy Song".No matter where you play,some drunk always says to play that song.And "Freebird".

Re: Thin Lizzy

Gary Moore's Out in the Fields album is fantastic, and is also the last recordings of Phil Lynott, if I'm not mistaken. Great stuff.

Re: Thin Lizzy

I love Thin Lizzy but not with Sykes as the gun slinger. FYI, i 'm a huge Sykes fan, just not his work with Thin Lizzy.

My two cents

Re: Thin Lizzy

Man, that band was a revolving door of guitarists.

Other notables.... Snowy White and Midge Ure!

Re: Thin Lizzy

robertson gorham moore....oh yeah baby!!!

gary has a dvd coming out later this year (march?) called one night in dublin - a tribute to phil lynott. he got like all the famous lizzy guitarists together and they just kick out all the gems - i've seen sneak footage of don't believe a word - gary plays his version and then blitzes the lizzy version - the crowd goes wild!!!

seriously tho - the twin wig out on emerald is pure sex man and with tracks like dn't believe a word massacre and killer without a cause i can't understand why they aren't as big as the zep or deep purple etc
