  • In this video we're comparing Thin Lizzy and Space Elevator, and their renditions of Thin Lizzy's 'Don't Believe A Word'. We've been loving Thin Lizzy's music on this channel, and we thought it was about time we checked out Space Elevator's work. So, this is the best of both world's. This will be a fun one, for sure! Enjoy!

    Both great songs.
    I have to say that Space Elevator is the greatest live band in the world that nobody has ever heard of.
    I know these guys personally, and they're all wonderful people.
    If you want to hear more of Space Elevator, I'll recommend more

    Ha ! This is a great slow version of " Dont Believe a Word " the Faster version is on the " Live and Dangerous " Album both Brill !
    On the Live and Dangerous version , the two leads are B Robertson and S Gorham , Phil Lynot Bass and Vocals ,
    Gary Moore and Scott Gorham are a Fantastic combination on this one . Space Elevators version is great , but Thin Lizzy for me .
    Great reaction .

    nope. that Lizzy version is some slowed down jazzed out version. When in doubt, always go to the version on the live album. Live and Dangerous. Lizzy is always best.

    Hi, 'Don't Believe a Word' was written by Phil Lynott, and is a Thin Lizzy song (NOT 'Gary Moore's song') and was on Lizzy's fantastic 'Bad Reputaion' album in 1977, and of couse on their amazing double album 'Live and Dangerous' (BEST LIVE ALBUM EVER!!), which you guys MUST listen to!!! Keep up the good work

    This is as close to a perfect song as has ever been written, but it has quite a complex history and a number of very good versions of it. I like Space Elevator's recording, but it was designed as a tribute and a faithful blend of Brian Robertson's original take on the song with Gary Moore's later version, heard here. Thin Lizzy wins this one, even if they weren't strictly in the building. For the record, the best version of Don't Believe a Word was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon on the Renegade tour, with Snowy White playing the solos.

    Since you two say you haven't heard much of Gary Moore's music, I'm repeating my suggestion for his song 'Business As Usual'. Unfortunately there's no video version, unless you opt for the 'Montreux 1997' live one. And I reckon Space Elevator did a pretty good job with their 'Don't Believe A Word' cover 😀👍

    Wow, they really had Phil out in that mix. It gave me the impression of a love and lost song, kind of along the lines of 10cc's I'm Not In Love. Always said, If you're going to do a remake, at least do it as good, if not better. SE did it better. Smooth and sexy, clean and powerful.

      It’s an honest mistake to make , you see Phil Lynot and the title Don’t believe a word which he wrote and it’s easily done . Gary Moore gets right up my kilt so in my head I’m transposing the genuine Thin Lizzy track which I hold dearly as the track I should’ve heard vs Space Elevator .
      The Thin Lizzy version walks all over this contest . I’ve never heard of Space elevator ,I listened all the way through and to be fair this is actually more faithful to the track as it was originally intended to be played by Phil Lynot. SE version is perfectly alright , but I like to see something unique or with a twist if your doing a version of an iconic or really well known song and I’m not seeing that here .
      Thin Lizzy for me 🎤drop…
