The Struggles of Phil Lynott

- Phil Lynott, one of the biggest legends in Irish history 🇮🇪⚡️
But Phil’s early years were tough. When Phil was born, his mother, Philomena, was kicked out by her landlords and sent to a home for unmarried mothers where she received beatings from the other women. They also tried to force her to put Phil up for adoption.
Eventually, she sent baby Phil to stay with his grandparents in Dublin, Ireland. His grandparents even pretended that young Phil belonged to a late friend of Philomena’s, and that they were looking after him for his dad.
Phil certainly used his struggles to his advantage, and with that, became one of the biggest legends in the history of Irish music.
I was asked recently, “if you could meet 3 Irish people (dead or alive) who would they be?”
For me, Philo will always be in that top 3 💚

@olegunnersolskjaer9189 do one u clown ...Phil lynnot is Irish
@@olegunnersolskjaer9189Muppet 😡
@@olegunnersolskjaer9189 What on earth are you talking about? He was born in West Bromwich.
~(thousands of dead Irishman for the security of the republic surpassed by some black guy because he is Le different and Le symbol)
What are you really?
More pride in his country and its history than many here today have.
Bíodh ciall agat, is amadán thú
Yes and more proud than many who blame black people for Ireland’s problems and fly our flag
@@daireoreilly2548my mother was from Ireland,my dad is from England,they met during the troubles and adopted me in 1990 at 10 days old from sri lanka.Ive never been anything else other than irish and proud.
@@daireoreilly2548living in all the different places I’ve been I can confirm to you. Black people are indeed the problem.
Sadly, if you think he's Irish, then you epitomize why people say you're stupid. He isn't Irish for many reasons. It's irrelevant whether he thought himself an Irish national because he never was as it's not possible to be. People really don't know their history. They have no clue to who they are and WORSE if they did they certainly would not be saying what they're saying about the man in the video.
"What's the feeling being Irish and black". feel like a pint of Guinness...
'I'm Irish , very important ' , God bless Yer Soul Phil and ye were one of Eire's proudest Son's...!! 💚☘✊
Orignal picts and celts were Black cheddar man, look him up he right black and white is bull... Anglo saxons aint Irish or English
@@larkvanderpooli7794 Cheddar man was radiocarbon dated to 10,000 years ago. The people who we call the ‘Celts’ - themselves only called as such due to the Greek word ‘Keltoi’ - arrived in Ireland and the UK only 2,520 years ago or 500 BC. Furthermore the study that claimed Cheddar man was black was very quickly shown to be at best a leap of faith and likely outright false. Also - The Anglo Saxons to this day only make up about a third of the genetic makeup of the modern Englishman with the majority being of Brythonic origins. Even further to this - Cheddar man is a pre-Indo European, the ‘Celts’ are indo Europeans as are the Germanic tribes that make up the Anglo Saxons. Therefore the people who we call collectively the Celts are actually 1000x more closely related to the Saxons than they are Cheddar man.
It was only when he said that the interviewer realised her ignorance!
@@larkvanderpooli7794silly debunked lies. Plus you are mixing very different things up. Cheddar man was not a Celt, he was a Western Hunter-Gatherer. If you are going to make such basic errors then you don’t understand this subject at all.
Plus….Phil is dark because his father was a Brazilian Man.
@captainl-ron4068 What I meant is that the whole of the British Isles and Europe itself had the same complexion as cheddar man, and no you can't debunk science, stop talking shizzle,, your 2nd frequency, Those there now in Ireland are of the Germananic Anglo-Saxons who invaded and settled in England!
Ireland and Scotland were once one, Scotia. Look her up , that's what the island was named after! Eventually, Caledonian, as it became, then became Scotland, Ireland became Green Isle, Emerald Isle the Ireland!
Those in Ireland with Jet Black hair could be descended from the moors, but all those like Tyson Fury running about claiming to be gypsy, when you don't have no link to the Romani Gypsies, you just lie and lie , but don't get it.... You act like you're different from the English or prosidents or Catholic in Ireland. You are both eurassian Germananic settlers, separated by religion, but you are the same people, England was a Catholic country!
Dublin means Black,
The leprechaun story is deeper than we think ain't no gold in Ireland
It's not fictional , and based on the little men who inhabitanted the British Isles, what you got to understand is that the whole world was populated by those who migrated from the place we call Africa it is one it's all Africa, even Europe, named after, Europa, look up the name's orgin
what a fucking tragic loss for the world
You don't get much more Irish than
Phil Lynott a proud Irishman and an absolute legend.
You can’t be black and irish
That's good then soon there won't be any gingers left in Ireland, but you will have Phil Lynott look alikes. What the great famine couldn't do migration will.
Doesn’t get more Irish than black skin and fuzzy hair
he's black
You get 50% more Irish in you to get the most Irish
My sister met him in London regarding her work.
She said he was a really nice guy,and polite to a fault.
I'm Black and I'm proud a true Irish man.....
you're not though
You cannot be Irish
Irish people are Ethnically Irish...they are Gael.
You do not have Gaelic DNA .
You can have an Irish parent...you can move to Ireland..you can speak with an accent...
But you cannot change your DNA
That's only dirt from the bog. Calm down.
@@user-re2qo3ry1h hell yeah dude
Definitely not a true Irishman if you’re black
Reminds me of my Nana.
She was Black & Irish. She was absolutely proud of it to ❤🕊
No
❤🕊️ Sorry for your loss, sounds like she was a wonderful lady
As for the comment above, way and go fuck, Ireland is a country of equals, and Irish people of all races will always be more irish than racist fucks who happen to have however long a line of ancestors born on the island yet ignore her spirit
Aren’t you?
Phil proud irish man loved him we need more irish loving people in our country
He was ahead of his time. He was REAL.
Poor phil gone too soon but never forgotten
Listened to Thin Lizzy in the car earlier today. Had the windows down and the volume high. Thank you, Phil Lynott. Rest in peace. 🥲 ♥️ 🇮🇪 💯
One of the greatest front men, and song writers in history. I love thin lizzy they're criminally underrated
Saw his statue when I was in Dublin. Fucking legend❤😊
A story teller, and a poet... 🇮🇪
Unofficial poet laureate of Eire.
A great irish legend ❤
When I moved away from my childhood neighborhood I returned to all my friends one summer a few years later when were able to drive and my friends had the boys are back in town blasting when they picked me up at the airport so yeah phil has a place in my heart 😊
What a man and what an artist and we go on about Geldof, Bono, O'Connor, Moore. Phil was the real deal, a working class Irish man with a massive talent & charisma . Make u proud to be Irish
Geoff?.,The man made his name with live aid . His music was crap
We love you Phil....always will...❤❤❤
Came here to say this.
@@garymurphy2463 its hard NOT to say it....he was certainly loved 🥰
@laetitialogan2017 i was raised on Thin Lizzy growing up. My buddy even plays in Dedication. A known tribute act that even graced the stage for The Magnificent Seven Tribute a while back. Equally loved here also!!

True story: His father and my mine became good friends. They went to a danchall for an event and that's where he met his mom. My dad has a photo holding him as a baby.
Buried in St. Fintans cemetery in Sutton, Dublin along with his mother. Worth a visit.
My cousin went to school with him in Dublin near Terenure. He told me that Phil was abandoned by the teachers and he liked to sit at the back of the class writing Poetry / Songs.
He was and is a Legend
If only these foreigners streaming in could intergrate it would help. This man was one of us.
@@catherinedonohue2662how soon you forget they used to say the same thing about the Irish most unfortunate to see this mind set is still alive.
He's an Irish Hero no less, and that takes some doing! ☝️🙏
Still love you Phil RIP
Good man Phil, a true Irish legend... the change of expression on the the American interviewers face was priceless... she realised he was DEADLY serious 😂😂
Top man 💯🤘
He was a brilliant Irish man and so proud, fantastic that he was into his Irish history.
And yet he wasn't even born in Ireland but England
@@SilverFang2789Being Irish isn’t just about where you were born though. It’s the likes of heritage, culture and or being raised in Ireland that means more than anything
@@Lil_Valorborn in Ireland, 34 years lived in Ireland but I'll move to Nigeria and I'll be 100% Nigerian because I love the culture so much and learn the language.
Get a grip pal.
@@durrclips746 Eh no… not what I was saying
@@durrclips746 Sure man you can do that if you like. I'm sure many Nigerians will accept you as Nigerian if you participate in their culture and language(s) and live there for a while.
Legend😊
RIP 🙏
We irish love him.
I am named after Phil Lynott, I was born the same week he died. Rest In Peace!
Welcome back Phil
@@SirSparrowHawk somehow, talent, charm and looks all got diluted during the transfer.
Literally nobody asked
@@VpnTest-o7f well your comment makes me glad I took the leap, to know that someone is actually mad is just the icing on the cake, delicious lol!
He was a LEGEND. PERIOD
I don’t blame American interviewers because there’s so much micro history just in American to learn, but it is always a pleasure to see them corrected. The look of bewilderment. I have a Scottish pal as well and Americans for some reason always jump to calling them Irish, so an inside joke is they’re a wee bonnie Irish lass.
Yes but americans are ignorant tbh
Tbh its pretty simple, i dont blame them for their ignorance but its pretty easy to know British is to do with Britain, maybe less clear with N. Irish brits and Irish is to do with Ireland
I mean, we're taught in school that the UK is Great Britain. So English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish folk are British. They use the Union Jack flag or variants in their celebrations. So, not knowing if someone is Northern Irish or Republic of Ireland Irish, is quite understandable for us.
Lets not forget their were many black Irish who were discriminated against and mistreated that never became famous.
@@Michael_Chandler_KeatonThe UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain, _and_ Northern Ireland , at the moment.
From an Englishman, good on Phil for his pride as an lrish man.
He was born in England like you mate
Hes not Irish just like German shepherds are not Irish shepherds, hes just a black dude in Ireland , Irish can ONLY be white / Northern European.
@@TheCraigy83 His mother was white Irish, he was Irish FACT!
@@jonobrien1339
No hes a hybrid hes not Irish , Irish are European.
@@jonobrien1339 half an Irish with his African genes clearly showing hes not a Irish/white .
A true legend and one of my musical heros
What a legend of a man
Man.....Lizzy is Life.
Thank you for posting this. Reminds me of my family in the way they talked and felt about things in regards to history and politics. Phil was an IRISHMAN, through and through
Love Phil Lynott...a great Irishman
It’s a fvcking shame Thin Lizzy isn’t in the R&R Hall of fame.
WHAT THE FUCK
Loved this dude growing up...I'm a Maori from NZ ... and I Love the Irish...cher
Greetings from the waikato
👍💚👍 The boys are back in town. QSG.
What a song 🎵 😊😊😊
Good on him actually taking on the culture of the people from where he was
Well his mother is Irish and his father British-Guyanese, and was raised in Ireland so he's very much Irish
He was way ahead of his time to be fair and he pioneered the way
Phil literally saying, my race has nothing to do with my, Nationalism! And this was the 70’s! Massive respect to him!
Yes but he wasn't and never will be a national. The fact that you are utterly incapable of seeing that truly beggars belief.
@@cuchulainn3474 his mother's Irish?
@@thatsthejobbb8587
He's half Irish and another race destroying both nationalities in the process. Read your bible. Only a white person can be Irish.
@@thatsthejobbb8587
A mix of rice makes one of neither. Don't shoot the messenger. I only deliver the truth. Read your bible and look into the word adultery. It does not mean what you think it does. They already have that commandment - _"thou shalt not covet."_
@@cuchulainn3474Nationality refers to a person's citizenship in a particular country.
Simple Google search.
Whenever I hear a fellow American calling an Irishman “British” it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. So ignorant. Phil Lynott is a true Irish legend.
'Part black and part Irish' makes me cringe, too. I was kind of hoping for the reply: ''All black and all Irish' ... But maybe that wasn't the way he saw it.
@@rbettsx From what I’ve heard, he considered himself an Irishman first and foremost and wanted to be seen as such - although that’s not to say he wasn’t proud of his African heritage. But culturally he was very proud to be Irish.
@@genemadlon295And he was proud of his west Bromwich birth place,, so basically he wasn't Irish at all 🙄
@@telstar4772Boris Johnson was born in New York - so he's an American?
@@Macca-rb5ok Unless I'm mistaken Boris didn't have an African dad 😂
The only people who say blacks can't be Irish, are just West Brits who would sooner accept Anglo-Norman ethnicity, for some reason.
Irish is our nationality, not necessarily our ethnicity. Gaelic, Hiberno-Norman, Norse-Gael, Anglo-Irish, Ulster-Scot etc. are the various ethnicities that can make up someone's Irish identity.
You sound like the west brit, Phil wasn't black he was mixed. What was he mixed with? he was irish by blood and by nationality.
Gaelic, Hiberno-Norman and Norse-Gael what do these all share hmmmmmmm. Ulster Scot isn't even an irish ethnicity it's an anglo and lowland "scottish" mixed group of colonists neither of Ulster or of Scotland if you look into the people of that area at the time and their contempt for scottish gealic, Ulster scots is a modern invention to justify plantation of Ulster and tie them to land that isn't theirs. They spoke a germanic langague and called it "scots" out of spite. They are west brits.
Anglo irish just means anglo colonists living in Ireland aka west brits who never intergated and bastardised irish culture.
@@jooseppielleese7156 I'm aware of the customs and history of Ulster-Scots. If you were too, you would know that many Ulster-Scots in fact became Irish. Thousands fought for republicanism from 1798 until the Troubles, and even today, even if the majority of them are loyalists, and many rebel's descendants today are loyalists themselves. That doesn't change ths fact that Ulster-Scots can and have become Irish, like the Normans, Norse, etc.
Same with many Anglo-Irish. You would struggle to find someone that would say Wolfe Tone wasn't Irish.
Also, Phil was black, by the standards of the majority of people, fans and attackers alike. My point is that racists are going to target the black part of his ethnicity, despite the Irish part, and that I find this to be ridiculous, as they would be more accepting of a Saxon colonist than a mixed native.
@@vonbeedle554 I don't Know about that Ulster Scots and Anglo irish were never gaelicised like the Normans and Norse nor did they intermarry. Most were against a united Ireland too, even back then.
Wasn't Wolfe Tone's republicanism born out his covenanter faith and inspired by the french and American revolution? in that much like the internationalist socialists the irish national liberation struggle was a means to propagate their idealogy not a cultural and ethnic identity. Wolfe was Irish by nationality, Phil was irish by blood.
You claim Phil is a mixed native but also think Ulster scots and anglo irish are natives or aren't? seems silly considering he was born in England.
I don't know anyone who would prefer some anglo over Phli
@@jooseppielleese7156 When did I say I'd prefer an Anglo over him? 😂 I said the opposite actually.
Im not saying all Ulster-Scots and Anglo-Irish are native, only that they *can* be, and many have.
And yes, Irish republicanism in every form has been about national identity and not an ethnic one. From Tone, to Pearse, to Ó Bradaigh.
I'm not sure what your point is. Mine was just that many will dismiss Lynott because his skin is dark, despite his Irish blood, and sooner accept someone that "looks European", but may not have any Irish blood at all.
It's your ethnicity. Your papers don't matter
And a great frontman and bass player to boot!!
Love the way he stood up for his country and his great music 🎶 was a Bonus 😊
I’ve been in a pub in Dun Laoghaire where Phil used to sing in a Traditional Irish folk group in sixties.as a youngster starting in the music biz. It had loads of Phil’s and Thin Lizzy memorabilia on display. I didn’t stay the night because it was house music night!
What pub is that?
@@MrGunnersmad it was on a corner by the shopping centre. It was my first night in the town having had a few on the ferry from Holyhead I’d checked in the B&B had a shower. The building was older than the shopping centre.

Could do with a million Phil's nowadays.. The boys are back in town🇮🇪☘
yes he was he was an amazing person love his mom also
Brilliant
Phil contradicts the opening statement in the last clip 😂his contributions to the Gaelic rock genre were 👌
What a songwriter and guitarist
Phil was one of the absolute greatest! 💚🍀
What an Irish legend!
What a man alot of great memories followed them all over
Hon Phil. Legend
Big Phil had some charisma. He was good fun, the fun came through in his music.
Loved that man. He was the nicest chap you could ever meet.
Love the Irish 🐐🌎🙏🫶✋😊
Yeah calling an Irishman British is like calling an American Canadian, ain’t gonna end well
Wait til November. Half of them will be moving up here!
It goes way deeper than that..believe me
Not really. It goes a lot deeper than a silly rivalry.
It's even worse than that!

As an American of both Black and Irish heritage, not only do I admire Phil Lynott's talent, but he's a hero of mine for representing being a Black Irishman.

Right on brother.🇵🇸

The word star is over used today but Phil Lynott really was. Thin Lizzy, didn't come any better.
What a guy. When i was about 10 years of age myself and most of the kids i knew whenever we heard Philo was around Howth we used to hunt him down usually to the cock tavern and day or night we were welcomed in to say hi and get an autograph on a beermat always with a big beautiful smile of his. We always went over to his mother's house near corr bridge. She always treated us way better than we deserved knocking on the door looking for Phil or something of his. She would always say he's away on tour but here is some stuff like flyers plects and anything thin Lizzy related. I never forget their kindness and he was an irish legend we were proud of the fact he loved our village
He was more of a Crumlin man than a Howth man
Love Phil lynott my heart throb growing up 😂
Phill Lynott is the goat of Irish music
Making this Irish gal feel all the feelings about Irish Phil! 💚🤍🧡
And we're proud of him❤❤
Top two bands to ever come out of Ireland, along with The Pogues.
Doesn't matter what color your skin is. Irish is Irish, and Phil knew that, and he was proud of where he came from, and I'm proud of where my ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland .
Well, no, it absolutely does matter, because the native, indigenous people of Ireland - like every other European - are White. So, he was half Irish.
@@markobighead3173wouldn’t know Irish if it slapped you in the head with that carry on.
Want to tell McSweeneys and Burkes and McKittericks they’re not Irish because they weren’t indigenous to here at a point? By that logic we should all be deported to south central Africa
@markobighead3173 how eager would you be to point out the fact he's half irish if he was half english half Swedish or half French or is it only relevant if you can actually see his heritage on his skin for some reason
Jason Bader What an absolute bunch of nonsense.
@@markobighead3173 no it doesnt matter at all. I bet youre a foreigner or some free state southern knacker.
He was asked once about what it's like to be irish and black, and he said, like a pint of Guinness typical irish response born in England, though, but sent here when he was six he definitely grew up irish and funnily enough didn't suffer from racists you know us irish if you grew up here you're one of us no matter the origin or skin colour its a pity so much has changed today's lot would probably tell him to go home
Yes, I agree completely.
@TheCarlocaroline yes at that time, unfortunately things have changed and young black irish are finding it harder now I think.
tis true! bet a lot of the right wingers now would say phil wasn’t irish at all

I will count him as one of the best.
Thank you, Davy
Theirs loads of racist Irish people just like Liam Neeson stop lying and you will find so much sympathy for the English I feel sick is it fear or stupidity!
I don't care if he was purple or Pakistanian..HE ROCKED!!!!😏
Lizzy changed my life Black Rose blew my head off brilliant
The world lost a wonderful muso when he died. Ireland lost a true son and patriot
I saw him walking up the street in our little irish town when I was 12 years of age and the way he glided through the busy Saturday crowd twisting and turning to greet every glance. You could not mistake that the ease at which he moved that Ireland was carrying her loyal son.
What a lovely thing to say. ❤
Miss you Phil.
We are proud u r are one of us champ
My favourite Irish musician of all time.

One of the greatest bands in history.

He was born in West Bromwich
That explains why he was so talented. Lots of great musicians come the West Mids.

Irish doesn't equal British the same as Scottish doesn't equal British the same as Welsh doesn't equal British...
No. Irish doesnt equal British EVER.
Scottish and Welsh often mean British.
Tying Ireland up with the Scots and Welsh gives them more ammo to say we are British just like them.
Might want to check that. Welsh were the original British for starters.
@@LongLiveRockAnRoll Modern British and old Britons are two different things. That being said, it's not true for the Irish in either case. We are not British in any way, shape or form.
We live in a very stupid world my friend.
"British" is a meaningless term made up by the English to subjugate the Celts in their empire
Phil was a true irishman
Born in West Brom 😂
He was a great person and a vm proud Irishman.
One of greatest 🇮🇪✊
He was an Irish hero to many of my generation. Nobody cared what colour he was.
