Thank you guys so much for watching. You guys rock!!!!
Please react to Jailbreak, Rosalie(live) and Still in love with you (live).
Jailbreak!! Y'all will love it
Its a different version because its live. Check the studio version.
1000% true. Probably most underrated rock band of all time.
No goddamnit. YOU rock.
Love your reactions to some of my favorite rock and metal. If you’re ever in Mpls let’s go rock out at a show
Thin Lizzy is one of the most criminally underrated bands in history.
FOR REAL!!!!
Sorely underated 😉✌️🤘🖖
And should be in the damn Hall of fame
They influenced the people that influenced the people that influence people now. If people now would listen, they would understand.
Couldn’t agree more
Phil Lynott was one of Irelands finest.
Along with his good friend Gary Moore. RIP.
A TRUE warrior poet!!!
Yeah! Born in West Bromwich. real Irish.
@@ThomasEJensen_TEJ Whose mum was Irish and who was brought up by his grandparents in Dublin. I would say that counts as fairly Irish.
As a frontman , he was the finest ever, better that Bono's oul shite, better than Axl, better than Chris, better than anybody. He levitated and owned the house every time.
R.I.P. Phil, an incredibly unique individual, full of talant and gone way too soon.
Agreed, Jail Break is a great song
Why do the gifted Irish always die so young?
Phil personified cool
Phil Lynott was my first hero. I sobbed and sobbed when he died. I was inconsolable. He was 36. I was 16.
Please, please, please listen to lots more Lizzy.
I was 14 . I feel your pain.
🙏🎸😭⭐
He died on my 14th birthday 😞
Phill was an Irish black man during the struggles in Ireland.they were the first of their kind out of Ireland to.absolute legends
Phil Lynott was from the Republic of Ireland. The struggles (I think you mean "the troubles") were in Northern Ireland. He wasn't from the North. They're different countries!
Was Phil not born in England?
Heading for WIKIPEDIA right now lol
@@danielhughes3677born in England to an Irish mother and a black father his Irish mother couldn’t get anywhere to live due to her being Irish with a mixed race baby. His father found somewhere for her to stay. When he was 4 and started school he experienced racism for being black and Irish. So his mother sent him Dublin to be raised by his grandparents in Ireland. His mother later had 2 other children to a white man that she give up for adoption. She worked in England and sent money home for her son
@@danielhughes3677Phil would never call himself English he was Irish and that is it no matter where he was born his dna was Irish and he was raised in Ireland
When asked what is like to be Irish and black he said like a pint of Guinness. An Irish rock idol there is a statue of him in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪.
I really hope this is true! Big love for big Phill a true Irish legend!
@@oscaraiken5484 it's on an Irish chat show called The Late Late Show, delivered with a wry smile. Plus his mum said that was how he described himself. What a legend, still revered here in Ireland 🇮🇪.
Phil Lynott (vocals & bass) of Thin Lizzy was a black Irishman and a legend in rock music🤘🤘He tragically passed away in 1986 from organ failure after years of heroin abuse... 😪
Phil Lynott formed Thin Lizzy in Ireland in the late 60's... legendary guitarist Gary Moore was a friend and helped him get started... Lynott was the main songwriter, and Lizzy started breaking big in the early 70's w/ drummer Brian Downey and guitarist Eric Bell. When Bell quit... 2 guitarists joined- Scott Gorham & Brian Robertson... they established Thin Lizzy's 'twin lead guitar sound' that influenced everybody from Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, etc...
In 1976, their album 'Jailbreak' became a huge global hit, even in the US. Their live album 'Live & dangerous' is considered 1 of the best live records in rock music.
Unfortunately, problems w/ Robertson led to his exit by 1979... by 1981, drugs and declining record sales started to wear out the band. In 1983, Lizzy recorded their final studio album 'Thunder and lightning' and announced that they were breaking up after the tour. John Sykes was on guitar w/ Scott Gorham, and this video was from that '83 tour.
Phil Lynott was considering bringing back Thin Lizzy by 1985, but his death in early '86 ended that possibility.
Phil Lynott, Irishman, poet, song writer, bass player as well as the lead singer in the band!!!
R.I.P. Phil n his long time friend n bandmate Gary Moore...2 of the best !!
jeez, I did not know Gary has since past.
what a shock.
I was only checking him out last week.
Thin Lizzy is imo the best rock n roll band of all time. All their songs are classics. Phil had an awesome voice. They wrote kick ass songs, the guitars were insane. Thin Lizzy rules
Best Irish band that ever was. That's including u2. From a Ireland
best rock band from Ireland.
"U2" 😂
Thin lizzy is one of the greatest bands worldwide, not just in Ireland
Lynott was so cool. He derived inspiration for "Boys" from the troops returning home from the Vietnam War. He was originally gonna call it 'G I Joe is back in town.'
Awesome band.
As mentioned, "Jailbreak" is a great one too. It pairs up nicely with Judas Priest and "Breaking the Law".
Love Thin Lizzy & Phil Lynott !!……Their “Thunder & Lightning” album is considered their “metal” album - tons of great bangers…..This classic is off their earlier album “Jailbreak” album - great hard rock bangers….Try “Cowboy Song”…..awesome double guitar harmonies
This band had so many classics I wouldn't know where to start. But some of their more known and popular songs would be "Whiskey in the Jar" "Dancing in the Moonlight" "Chinatown" and "Killer on the Loose"
Opium trail, genocide, johnny, chinatown, sugar blues, sha la la la, sooo many bangers as the kids say
A great song, from such an influential band! :-)
And Phil Lynott, what a fine frontman he was, as others have already commented.
Such a good songwriter, and performer! And always stylish! :-)
Well done guys! It is just fantastic that you’ve discovered this magnificent band, Thin Lizzy, that came out of Ireland in the early 1970’s! I’m very impressed with your reaction to this live performance of their hit “The Boys are Back in Town. Their signature sound was the dynamic twin lead guitar sound, incorporating guitar harmony and guitar duel that nobody had done before. Later, the Eagles tried it out very successfully with Hotel California…. To get another early sample of this sound, take a listen to “Suicide” by Thin Lizzy from 1975.
EASILY one of the most underrated bands in the history of rock and roll!!! Phil Lynott is a LITERAL Irish poet, who just happened to be marginalized during the 70's because he had the double stakes against him (back then) of being both Irish and Black.
But these fucking guys?!?! They could have owned the entire world if the world would have let them!!!
One of my favorite bands of ALL TIMES!!!! 😎
But those of us that KNOW, NEVER forgot that these dudes were MAGIC! 🇮🇪 💯! Poets are BORN on that Isle!!!
What a great live band Thin Lizzy were. RIP Phil Lynott - what an awesome front man he was.
What set them apart from other bands of their era was having a lead singer playin bass AND they always had 2 killer lead guitarists.
From Ireland...
Other great songs are DONT BELIEVE A WORD...STILL IN LOVE W YOU (there's about 4 different studio versions n a bunch of live versions)... Parisienne walkways...JAILBREAK.
Only a Black Irishman was able to create the greatest rock anthem of all time!!! ✌️🇨🇮🇺🇲
Thin Lizzy may have been the first band to have two lead guitarists. There is a statue of Phil Lynott in Dublin. This is the same song from 48 hours, it was performed as a cover by the Bus Boys.
er... not to mention Wishbone Ash.
The Bus Boys song was a different song. There were others with two lead guitarists before Thin Lizzy and maybe even a couple that had the harmony guitars, but nobody did it as well as Thin Lizzy.
Love me some Thin Lizzy and Phil! He was a cutie.
Nice reaction you two! Phil Lynott was a great front man for Thin Lizzy lead vocals/bass "Don't Believe a Word " "Whiskey in the jar "are good too - Terence Trent D'Arby Lenny Kravitz and Gary Moore are worth checking out also
A bad ass Lead singer a musician, musician. Influenced so many and never once did race come up. Imagine that. Rockers. Rock regardless and if you have it respect is paid and this man got and still commands it today years after his passing. Long Live Thin Lizy
The first band i ever saw live , they were great fun . Lots of hits Jailbreak , Rosalie , Whiskey in the Jar .... The lead singer Phil Lynott ... An Irish guy of colour fronting a rock band in the 70's , it was about as rebellious as you could get and he loved it ... Unfortunately he lived the rock n roll lifestyle and was taken from us way too soon like so many others , but what a legacy ! He did a great collaboration with another guitar legend Gary Moore ......Out in the Fields that is an absolute banger !
Irish black man compares himself to Guinness beer, dark but Irish
Phil Lynott the lead singer was once asked "what's it like to be black and Irish" and he said "Like a pint of Guinness" pure genius. RIP Sir Phil
Phil Lynott just radiated stardom. The best song Bruce Springsteen never wrote...
10 years later, and they would have been the biggest damned band in the world! But Phil had the "unfortunate" problem (for the 70's) of being a black dude in a rock band... and record companies were STRAIT racist ducks back then.
@@5heffPaul Find me 3 people in a bar that knows who he is.... then playbthe song and listen to them sing along.
Point made.
@@5heffPaul drugs were not his problem, it was alcohol.
It was both
Yeah man the amazing Phil was black and Irish much like myself R.I.P
Black Irish is an identity for a sub group in Ireland. It has nothing to do with being black by melanin.
The band is from Ireland and the singer was their national treasure! Check out their songs Jailbreak and Cowboy Song. They covered a song by Bob Segar called Rosalie that is the best!
Glad you guys are tuned into Philip and the boys. I been checking them out since 1974...they are the best!
When I was in secondary school (high school) in Dublin, Thin Lizzy were the biggest band in Ireland, back in the early 80s when Thin Lizzy concerts were being opened by new acts like a group of 4 kids who met at school and made a rock band together that they called U2.
Best Irish rock band ever. RIP Phil Lynott always missed
Phil Lynott.. Ireland's finest.
We loved him.
☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Phil Lynott (the singer) was born in Hallam Hospital in West Bromwich, England, and christened at St Edward's Church, Selly Park, Birmingham. His mother, Philomena Lynott, was born in Dublin and his father, Cecil Parris, was from Georgetown, British Guiana. Philomena met Parris, who had moved to England to seek work, in Birmingham in 1948 and they were in a relationship for a few months, until Parris was transferred to London. Shortly afterwards, Philomena found she was pregnant and, after Lynott was born, she moved with her baby to a home for unmarried mothers in Selly Park, where he was baptised on 4 September. Phil Lynott was introduced to music through his uncle Timothy's record collection, and became influenced by Tamla Motown and The Mamas & the Papas. He joined his first band, the Black Eagles in 1965 as a lead singer, playing popular covers in local clubs around Dublin. Towards the end of 1969, Lynott and Downey were introduced to guitarist Eric Bell via founding member of Them, keyboardist Eric Wrixon. Deciding that Bell was a better guitarist, and with Lynott now confident enough to play bass himself, the four formed Thin Lizzy.
Emerald by Thin Lizzy. The guitar work is immaculate! I'm sure both of you will thoroughly enjoy it and their catalogue of music.
This band rocked so hard its ridiculous.
Thank you much Shawn and Mel for bringing the music that too many youth never get a chance to hear. Especially our youth. Thank you for doing the job the corporate music industry refuses to do. Phil Lynott had a black Jamaican father and a white Irish mother.
Phil got into music because of Jimi Hendrix. Phil said what inspired him to do it was the fact that Jimi did it.
Two classic songs you absolutely need to check out is Cold sweat and Jail break. I would love to see the reaction vids from you guys.
I am glad you picked up guitar I have been playing for decades I would like to know how to set up a you tube channel myself perhaps we can do some kind of exchange of knowledge?
Till then rock steady homie
Next try OUT IN THE FIELDS with Gary Moore and Phil Lynott
Or Parisienne Walkways which has them both too. Gary Moore is a criminally under rated guitarist. I should have made the effort to see him live before he passed. RIP.
My fav Thin Lizzy is The cowboy song, good riffs, fun vibe, brings back good memories like a well done song should.
There were a few rockers in the 70's and 80's with the fros. Right off the bat I can think of Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad and Don Henley from the Eagles. Also many 80's metal heads had fros. They are from Ireland I believe or at least the lead vocalist is.
Phil was so loved, and still is.
Irish dude.
I knew Phil there is a statue erected to him in Dublin he died to soon. R.I.P.
Wrong word
Good place to start with Thin Lizzy Spotify top hits to get you started. Thank you so much! Loved both of your reactions!! Keep up the great work.
Cliff Burton (late bassist for Metallica) drew inspiration for bass from Phil
A lot of people did thin Lizzy are one of the most underrated bands
Thin Lizzy had so many great songs - Legend of the Black Rose, Emerald etc etc - plus the greatest tribute to Elvis ever made - King's call - Phil Lynott and Mark Knoffler in a legendary song.
Phil's ability to attract some of the greatest musicians back then!!!
Gary More, Scott Gorham etc etc.
I saw them 4 times live - damn they were good.
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 - and also a BIG Thin Lizzy fan.
Great reaction! Just a little trivia: "Thin Lizzy" is pronounced "Tin Lizzy" like the old Ford car. They spelled it with an "h" as an inside joke to make fun of their hometown, Dublin, and how Dubliners tended to mispronounce "th" like a hard "t" sound.
Loved this reaction!
Thin Lizzy is another rabbit hole worth calling down. Awesome band.
My favourite album is "live and dangerous", every single song is a banger IMO.
fact! not opinion.
Thank you folks for playing Thin Lizzy. Thin Lizzy are absolutely Irish rock legends who were fronted by Dubliner Philip Lynott. They were founded in Dublin in 1969. Check out other great songs of theirs especially: Dancing in the Moonlight, Don't Believe a Word, Cold Sweat, Chinatown, Waiting For an Alibi, Killer on the Loose. The list goes on and on... thanks again, Patrick, Ireland
Before you even start I'm thinking "you're going for a ride" haha...
Phil Lynott was a great front man RIP try jailbreak really shows how good that band was back in the early eighties!
this particular song is big in the Navy. Every time we came home from a 6 month deployment we would blast this song. That was 30 years ago. Don't know what they do now, but back then this was our homecoming.
Love the twins guitars. It's very Thin Lizzy
The GREATEST Irish band ever!!! Homesick.☘️🇮🇪
When you have time, also listen to the studio version so you can hear how we heard it on the radio back in the day.
Thanks for playing Thin Lizzy. 'Don't believe a word' is worth a listen...
Great band. Their live album, "Live and Dangerous" has a great version of "Still In Love With You". While not a request, just a recommendation of one you may want to give a spin. Keep up the great work!
Hey inanis, thank you so much for watching! Thank you so much for your recommendation.
they are an irish band. jailbreak, waiting for an alibi, chinatown, dedication, are more songs by them that are awesome
Excellent phénomènal écoutez black rose vous aller pas être déçu les adorables j'adore ce groupe quel charisme et voix talentueux parti trop tôt je ne savais même pas mon Dieu si doué grand merci à vous très très bon choix vive Thin lizzy love Phil génie 🙏🎸💖
Thin lizzy - Showdown was sampled on the beastie boys song Funky Boss and it's downright FUNKY . Thin lizzy. Seemed to have lots of songs that branched outside of their usual sound .
The version with the same title you're thinking of is by The Bus Boys -- a great song, too!
Saw them live 1979. They are the still one of the best live bands I seen
This always brings tears to my eyes. RIR PHIL.. You (& Thin Lizzy) were fkn incredible man 🙏🎶✌️🕊
Oh I love this song. This was all over the radio in the day.
Oh yeah, I love Thin Lizzy. One of my favourite Thin Lizzy songs is Bad Reputation, from the album of the same name. Watch out for the skills of Brian Downey the drummer on that song.
Glad you guy's did this an oldie but a goodie all the best from Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Thin Lizzy was from Ireland and was an extremely underrated band. Singer/bassist Phil Lyott died a while ago but the band still plays I believe. I know Vivian Campbell from Def Leppard played with them for a while.
OH WOW! I get a little emotional watching your reactions sometimes. I love Thin Lizzy and the great Phil Lynott (RIP) so this does my heart good seeing you enjoying it as you do. I would absolutely love to see you react to "The Cowboy Song". It is my favorite of theirs BUT I would be equally intrigued to see your reaction to "Still In Love With You" from this same concert. Sade later covered that one and her version is almost equally heartfelt and brilliant. I would be completely happy with either.
Love the reaction to Thin Lizzy. Also, the other Boys are Back in town was by the Bus Boys and it was in the movie 48 hours. Another song by Thin Lizzy, Jail Break and of course there are others.
Thin Lizzy was the first band I ever saw in concert. They opened for Queen. It was 1977. I was in the ninth grade.
saw these guys back in the late 70's
half way through the shows the shut the doors to stop people coming down stairs.
those upstairs knew the playlist and what was coming.
I turned to my girlfriend at the time, she very conservative, her first live rock show, and told her to have a look at the stands.
They were jumping down from the balcony to get to where the action was.
And yes, the knickers went down that night.
if you want to get into this band, just go straight to "live and dangerous".
Thin Lizzy is one of my fave bands!❤
I wore this vinyl out 💿 ✌❤🤘 "jailbreak " 👍
I saw them twice amazin band
Guy's check out "One night in Dublin" some years after Phil (the Bass player passed) some of the members of Thin Lizzy got together to perform their greatest hits it's AWESOME.
Rest in peace Philip lynott true Irish hero rock legend
Awesome band guys , I’ve had every album , thanks. Great reaction! Texas here.
The Cowboy Song is a great song from Ireland’s greatest rock band Thin Lizzy.
Thin Lizzy were a great band, pioneering a sound combining hard rock with pub rock. They are from Ireland. Other great songs of theirs: ''Still In Love With You,' 'Cowboy Song, 'Jailbreak' and 'Dancing In The Moonlight.' :)
Anything from this concert is an absolute blast. Btw this line-up was made up of an Irish bassist/singer/songwriter, a keyboardist and drummer also from Ireland, an English guitar player and an American guitar player.
Phil was actually born in Birmingham,England. Brian Downey was born in Dublin,Scott Gorham was from California and Brian Robertson was actually born in Scotland not England.
@@johnroche7541 I know--Hallam Hospital West Bromwich. About 5 miles from me. I seem to remember a statue being erected there about 5 years ago.
@@kingstumble Thank you for your reply. A friend informed me that Irish television(RTE) showed a great documentary a few weeks back which showed the house where Phil grew up and the school where he met Brian Downey(Phil always referred to Brian as the one & only) as they were obviously childhood friends. There is also early home film footage not seen before and some early photographs also previously unseen.There is also interviews with childhood and school friends and former girlfriends. Eric Bell the original guitarist is also in this documentary. It also goes to your neck of the woods as Phil wanted to find his father and it shows where the band stayed in London as they were trying to make it into the music industry. It is a new documentary. I dont know for certain the title of this documentary but it is something like the "Return of the Wild One". It literally follows in the footsteps of the band. As you know there is a statue of Phil in Dublin. Brian Connolly the Scotish comedian made a lot of programmes about Ireland and in one episode he visits Phil's grave and coincidentally meets Phil's mom at the graveside. This clip is available on You Tube. Thin Lizzy were absolutely fantastic. I know they opened for Queen in 1976/77 and I am not sure if it is an urban myth but according to some musical historians Thin Lizzy were so brilliant at rehearsals and sound check that Brian May wanted to shorten their time on stage when they opened up. A lot of people who were at these gigs say Thin Lizzy blew Queen off stage. I know that Thin Lizzy opened for Journey in the USA. Thim Lizzy would be a hard act to follow for any band. Also in the aforementioned documentary there is an interview with Brush Shiels who is Irish and a virtuoso on the guitar and actually thought Phil to play bass. Brush Shiels was in an Irish band called " Skid Row" and there was a legal case in the late 1980's as the American rock band "Skid Row" with Sebastian Bach on vocals obviously wanted to use the name "Skid Row". Keep rockin to Thin Lizzy and stay safe in these challenging times.
Thin Lizzy could rock hard but there was always a good song beneath the bombast. You should listen to "Jailbreak" or "Don't believe a word".
Remember As A Kid In The 70’s Thin Lizzy Used To Stay At My Grandads B&B In Sussex Gardens Paddington London.✌🏻🏴
Thin Lizzy songs to check out:
'Jailbreak' ... 'Cold sweat' ... 'Whiskey in the jar' ... 'Johnny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed'... 'Bad reputation' 🤘🔥
That song rocks and that only goes to show you the talent that they be had you had to lead guitarist they were considered the best duo guitarist at that time
You were thinking of The Bus Boys, they did a song called The Boys Are Back in Town from 48 Hours. You should it as a reaction for her. It too was a great song.
He was a real rock star, poet and had charisma!
So many eras in this band. Hippie/folk rock from 1970 to 1973, then a soul album (Nightlife) then album rock with folk influences until they released a metal album in 1983.
AND that is how We rocked in the 70s, yes it was every gangs, every group of friends anthem, there is a full-on swagger hits you when this song comes on, you stand taller suck in the stomach, the aches and pains go away, and you are back to your prime, if only the affects lasted longer...... Is it really 45 years ago?
Tommy Aldridge is the drummer.. he is amazing!! He played with Whitesnake, House of Lords.. He is right up top with the all time best drummers ever!.. The Song was written by Phil, Where he grew up, his mom ran a bar in part of town thats was known for parties and the bikers.. A summertime type of town.. When the boys were back in town you knew summer was coming.
I am pretty sure that is Brian Downey. Aldridge. Came later on.
If ya get a chance...please do Thin Lizy "Still in love with you" live performance...where Phil says he is singing it for his Mum who is in the audience that night. He passed away not long after that I believe...It is a gorgeous song
Shawn was referring to the Busboys hit song featured in 48 hours and another 48 hours starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. This song was featured in the film Toy Story 2.
It was mostly featured in the promos. I don’t think it was in the movie itself.
LOVE Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott!! Please check out the Cowboy Song from them!!!
When he was asked what is it like being black and Irish he said “it’s a lot like Guinness” legend 😂
*Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"*
Phil Lynott was a great rock icon. Jimi Hendrix but on bass.
Saw them live in Melbourne Australia in 1977/78 and they were brilliant!!
Battle song for my friends when we came back to the town we grew up in … the boys are back
The pride of Ireland.
