Always loved Phil; taught me about my heritage with some of his words. Loved his sentiments regarding his homeland- "When I'm in England,I say I'm from Ireland. When I'm in Ireland, I say I'm from Dublin. When I'm in Dublin, I say I'm from Crumlin. When I'm in Crumlin,I say I'm from Leyland Road. And when I'm on Leyland Road, I say I'm a Lynott!"
Thin Lizzy best Band ever, I've been hearing since 1978/79 a friend showed me a cassete tape with two songs, cowboy song and the boys are back in town, and he said: let me show you something that you'll Go crazy, and you will never ever stop listening, he was right !!!
flip inheck Wikipedia calls Phil an Irish musician.He sure sounded like one.Gary from Belfast,northern Ireland.Neither had a British accent.Makes them Irish to me,and phenomenal talents.
I left school mid 70s.discovered Lizzy and followed every move they made throughout. I'm 60 now and still love this band. I sobbed in my wife's arms when Philip passed over. A rare gem, I miss him everyday. RIP. PHILO. XX 💞 🎸
I'm a 39 year old that grew up listening to Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott's solo stuff on vinyl. My how I loved the way Phil could paint vivid images with his lyrics, the music being a perfect backdrop. They sang about so many different things in an era where lyricism was all over the place amazing. The Sun Goes Down still gives me tears. I bet it was amazing to be alive when they were performing. Sad I missed out, but music like this is timeless!
@@hazi5961 I even met my wife through a lizzy song. "running back" we have been together now 38yrs.kids grandkids the complete package. I owe Philo a big debt of gratitude. RIP PHILO. X
We in Ireland in the 70's depended on Thin Lizzy, Horslips and the Boomtown Rats to save us from despair. Meanwhile Rory Gallagher was top billing in Europe and Van Morrison was tops in the USA but we knew little or nothing about them because single tv channel and only 2 radio channel Ireland kept us in the dark.
Met Phils mammy at a charity night. She invited my wife and I too the unveiling of Phils statue on Harry St just off graften St back in 2005.and also her house white horses. She was charming, entertaining and hilarious too. She allowed me to play Phils fender precision bass, and look at some personal belongings. We have many times since, but sadly she isn't enjoying the best of health at the moment. God bless you Phyllis, we love you, you gave us the talented Philip parris lynott. 🎸 XX
I discovered Thin Lizzy when I was about 13. I had already been interested in learning to play guitar but as soon as I heard Phil I switched to bass. He's my all time hero.
i saw this special lasting all evening on cable tv and was amazed about this great band and charismatic frontman. I decided then and there that i would forever be a fan of this great music. At the end of the evening there was a scrolling text stating rest in peace Phil Lynott. It was so sad that i cried. i was 15years old. He still is one of the greatest artists and i am glad there is so much footage and recordings. went to see Scott and the band playing a couple of times and even though the music was performed exellent there was obviously missing a legend. I cried the night THIS king died...
I saw the Thunder and Lightening farewell tour at the Bristol Colston Hall, England when I was 14! Bloody fantastic. No intro tape; Sykes and Goreham walking on stage playing the Thunder and Lightening riff with the house lights still on! Def best Irish band and then Stiff Little Fingers imo! Us Brits were scared to go to Ireland back then! Found out all my fathers side were Irish, settling in Gloucester, England. I had many Irish friends at University and living near London and we all got on with no political shit getting in our way! I finally went to Ireland this year and loved it as much as my home town. We're all the same and love Thin Lizzy!
I spent 14 straight years live in concert seen all the great... but one concert to this day stands out in my memory, somehow standing right in front , it was Thin Lizzy Columbus Ohio never missed a little note , well defined and energized Powerfull.
the gig in Dalymount Park in the summer of '77 was something else, opening song was 'soldier of fortune' and the lighting, sound effects and pyrotechnics was overwhelming, i was privileged to be there and i'll never forget it.
Top 10 band of all Time ... Great great great rock Band from the 70's.... I follow Thin Lizzy From 71.Faboulous guitares ,great vocal , great Tunes 😎🇬🇷🎸🎼👍✌
I'm 38 and discovered Thin Lizzy in the mid 90's along with UFO and Budgie. I was in a bar in Oregon talking to an old lady about rock one night and the next week she gave me an original vinyl of Black Rose by Thin Lizzy. I've got it framed on my wall.
First rock concert (Live and Dangerous)i have seen on TV ...me and my friends rock the hell out every week end on Sundays ! 1978 and still a gem in my mind that concert !! Best rock roll ever
Greatest live band, and an A+++ rhythm section with Lynott and one of the greatest rock drummers ever: Brian Downey. Both made the back bone of Thin Lizzy.
I hung out with Brian for a whole year, every Saturday, he taught me drums, karate kid style....we played on his Rogers Mirror kit, used on Live and Dangerous. He is the Bruce Lee of drumming. X
I was blessed to see a lot of great rock bands live in the 70's. One concert that always stood out in my mind has been Thin Lizzy, with Graham Parker and the Rumor opening for them at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1978. Santa Monica Civic only held about 2,500, so it was very intimate for a powerhouse rock concert. Jailbreak was a huge hit at the time, and I and my friends were typical hard rock fans of the early-mid 70s and listened to their albums. They put on a musically tight and compelling show(with only three, like ZZ Top, another fav), and Phil was as spellbinding as you'd imagine if you never saw them live. Almost theatrical, and that booming voice...Graham Parker blew me away, and I became a lifetime fan after that night. Brinsley Schwartz played a mean guitar! Hard to imagine, now, a concert with two front men the likes of Phil and Graham.
It's ceaselessly amazing looking up all of these band docs and fighting out they were all the best damned rock n roll band ever! Man It's so freaking amazing, I'm Freaking out all over and over again. And over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. repeat and fade....
one of the best shows i ever saw was Van Morrison in Montreal in about 1971 in a university there was not many people it was just amazing.Never got the chance to see Thin Lizzy what a group.
I recall walking home from school and seeing handwritten posters for one of their early appearances in the Ritz Ballroom in Carlow. I had never heard of them and thought it was a joke as the name sounded so funny. Great band!
this is the best rock doc i've ever seen...so honest and unpretentious..and because i never knew much about the band, way interesting...and funny too! and sad too..my eyes teared at the end...
The loss of Phil is for me the biggest loss in the music history. I often think " what great song would he make today"? Maybe together with Slash? or you name it..Really miss him. RIP Phil.🖤💛
I seen Philo playing in the Moran hall Drimagh it was 2 bob in I was 15 he was 16 he was in the year ahead of me in Cloger road school he was always a cool dude going around with the collar up you knew he was going to be a super star he was a legend I seen him a few times around the scene always getting better They were the best Irish band of all time
we saw them in 76 opened for queen i think. i had a girl on my shoulders and phils guitar had a mirror on the front and he was reflecting the spotlight on all the people up front. good times.
WOW - that would have been my ultimate experience with my two favourite bands on the same bill! I've seen them both live but not together, unfortunately....what a performance that must have been!
These fellas are BADASS! SO UNDER APPRECIATED & gas not BEEN GIVING THEIR PROPS..LOVE PHIL FROM THE 1ST TIME I HEARD His VOICE..The Whole Crew Tuff🥰💯👁️💖
By the time Philo and co. were leaving school, pirate radio was a big deal, and in Ireland, as is stated at 7"35" it was decades in the past, there was no visible youth culture. Thin Lizzy effectively ushered in a cultural revolution in Ireland. Thats how big a deal they are to Irish people.
There it is right there! Bigger than Life The Music Phils magnetic persona his voice made a connection beyond Ireland beyond A single genre of music Influenced Added And still grows in all directions just from simply hearing The Band.
I'm in my fifties and I've been fortunate to see a lot of bands live, but Thin Lizzy was one that got away from me. I dug their music, just never got the chance to catch them in concert. Phil just seemed super cool. A really good band that I'm envious of all who did see them in concert. Consolation prize I did see Rory Gallagher. He ripped that shit up!
JailBreak. I was 19 when that album came out. It almost had as big an influence on me as Peter Framptons Live album. Listened to it over and over, front to back. Knew all the songs by heart. It was the best. Interestingly, I couldn't even name any Thin Lizzy song or album after that. And, to be honest...same with Peter Frampton. Both of those albums were Perfect Storm albums. Right time, right place, right music. Couldn't be repeated in subsequent albums, at least for me. It's a once in a lifetime feeling. Sorta/kinda like a new love. Old love is great, but totally different than new love. Jailbreak was a new love. Frampton Comes alive was a new love. Hard to repeat that feeling. For me...Jailbreak was Thin Lizzy. :) For some reason, this documentary sorta glosses over the impact that one album had. They did mention it as their breakthrough album, but it wasn't even their biggest seller. It seems they had more focus on some of the others. Maybe it had to do with the artists themselves being a part of the documentary and their focus being on the later stuff they're proud of that actually sold more. But, for a generation of folks my age...Jailbreak was Thin Lizzy. IF you look at the view counts, most of the highest are from that album except for Whisky in the Jar which is way up there. So, I wonder if they really understood the impact of that one album over the others. It can't be just me...can it? lol RIP Phil.
Someone once said Thin Lizzy was a one hit wonder band. No, they were the touchstone for so many bands to this day. Many bands have taken just a little bit from Thin Lizzy and I think it’s amazing. Very underrated but one of the best bands of all time hands-down iconic!
I love Thin Lizzy, and I really enjoyed this..........but Rory Gallagher blazed the trail that Phil, Bono, Queen, and so many others from Ireland and the UK followed.
I was 12 in 1972, I forget if it was 72 but I remember Lizzy's songs were on the radio a lot back then, great sound, some bands sound similar a bit, but you knew immediately their sound. Thank you for the video.
Wow...thank you for making this video. I lived this band uhh my teens and inky recently rediscovered just how AWESOME they are. Without Thin Lizzy they'd there be no U2. You guys will forever be awesome. 🙏👍😊😎💕🌹
First concert I ever went to. Thin Lizzy opened for Journey--Checker Dome, St Louis, MO. somewhere around 1978 or 1979. It was Journey's Evolution tour. Good stuff, for sure.
Saw Phil on stage a couple of times. I haven't seen any rock frontman with so much charisma before or since. Even the likes of Plant don't command audience attention like Phil did.
Bit of history.. saw them at the top hat club in spennymoor,england,just after their top of the pops appearance.. bought tickets the previous week..50p each!!..went to the club expecting them not to turn up..asked the bouncer..yea he said they're coming,didn't want to let the fans down..rest is more history❤
Seen em with Gary Moore, opening for Queen in '77. I was there to see Thin Lizzy more than Queen. I also saw U2 open for J. Geils Band, in early '82...I'll take TH every day of the week, over the other guys...not even close!
It's so overwhelming sad on all the artists of the 60's-70's that didn't make it thru (alcohol and drugs) that special time in music and overwhelming thankful for the ones who did. I was a part of that time and loved (love) it !!! It was a great time !!! The singers and bands from the British, Ireland and Scotland were what I was all about. Also liked Americans music from that time, but these other bands had me !!! 💕 I was so lucky I was !!! ☮️🙏💜

I really love that too... it is pure poetry.
Born in England brought up in Ireland...👍
Where was he from when he was in the USA?
Leighlin road
Of the 100 albums every rock fan must have, Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak easily makes the list. Not one weak song on this studio masterpiece.
Black is beautiful!! He was totally an awesome entertainer loved the band. Thank you so much Thin LIZZY!!!
To this day Phil is still captivating. Such a talent. His voice is instantly recognizable.

I love the "Fighting" album
What an icon , when he speaks you feel this man is ooozing charisma , its dripping off him. And now .. rip philomena his mom
he could have should have been a top model he was a sight to look at I loved his hair and his smile.

The absolute benchmark for Rock & roll, Phil Lynott THE ultimate ROCKANROLLER
THE best Irish band ever! One of the top 10 bands of all time!
The one and only...
Not as good as "Them"
Much better than U2, where every song sounds the same.
U2
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy than U2
I remember seeing Phil play in a five a side football game at Wembley with George Best. Thin Lizzie were a legend among the best rock bands.

That "step in your shoes" opening guitar lick ALWAYS makes me feel good
Saw them in late 70's. They opened for Kansas. Best show I ever saw!
I never get tired of listening to Lizzy one of my all time favourite bands especially with Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham
Dean Bembridge There’s only one thing to mention: live and dangerous, one of the best live albums in our time
This band and "Sweet" are the two most underrated ever. Both were fantastic.
Spoke to an English man about Sweet.

Quite funny they were huge In Denmark.
Sweet was badass! Especially their harmonies.

I was 12 in 1972, I forget if it was 72 but I remember Lizzy's songs were on the radio a lot back then, great sound, some bands sound similar a bit, but you knew immediately their sound. Thank you for the video.
One of the best bands ever!!!
I love his hair yup they have a lot of awesome songs I will never get tired of listening to them :-)
Descubrí Thin Lizzy en el 2012 cuando tenia 14 años, 10 años despues aun lo escucho. Gracias Phil
Incredible band.....RIP Phil Lynott.....
The melodic harmony of both guitars was just over the top great. Still is
They were fucking brilliant.... my band did 5 covers of this band ... they were my favorites
Wow...thank you for making this video. I lived this band uhh my teens and inky recently rediscovered just how AWESOME they are. Without Thin Lizzy they'd there be no U2.
You guys will forever be awesome. 🙏👍😊😎💕🌹
The song selection in this doc is just amazing..... HONESTY IS NO EXCUSE !!!!!
Loved those major 7 guitar harmonies. Very jazzy for heavy rock
W hen I was 15 I got drum lessons from Brian in his house in Dalkey ... what a gentleman! What a great time !!!
Does he not still live in Clontarf?, genuine question
james moran so this was circa 1984...? I’m not sure where he was before or after but around that time he lived in Dalkey.
First concert I ever went to. Thin Lizzy opened for Journey--Checker Dome, St Louis, MO. somewhere around 1978 or 1979. It was Journey's Evolution tour. Good stuff, for sure.
Iconic. They changed the game. They were so good.
Saw Phil on stage a couple of times. I haven't seen any rock frontman with so much charisma before or since. Even the likes of Plant don't command audience attention like Phil did.
Bit of history.. saw them at the top hat club in spennymoor,england,just after their top of the pops appearance.. bought tickets the previous week..50p each!!..went to the club expecting them not to turn up..asked the bouncer..yea he said they're coming,didn't want to let the fans down..rest is more history❤
Seen em with Gary Moore, opening for Queen in '77. I was there to see Thin Lizzy more than Queen. I also saw U2 open for J. Geils Band, in early '82...I'll take TH every day of the week, over the other guys...not even close!
It's so overwhelming sad on all the artists of the 60's-70's that didn't make it thru (alcohol and drugs) that special time in music and overwhelming thankful for the ones who did. I was a part of that time and loved (love) it !!! It was a great time !!! The singers and bands from the British, Ireland and Scotland were what I was all about. Also liked Americans music from that time, but these other bands had me !!! 💕
I was so lucky I was !!!
☮️🙏💜
well James Hetfield said "no thin lizzy. no metalica." so there you go.
Damn Straight
squ34ky2 fk off and go listen to spando baller fruitcake
squ34ky2 Ahh, another “Metallica sucks”’guy...What’s it like being so delusional?
DeathinDublin , if there was no Lizzy Borden there would be no Thin Lizzy. There would be No Borden branded foods either 🤔
Without a black Sabbath there would be no Black Sabbath 👍
My favorite band ever
Raw talent, hard work, and Gary Moore!
Daniel Tyler yes exactly. And Gary Moore
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS DOC!!!!!!!!!! LOTZ OF
still love this band over many many years!!
