Phil Lynott and Gary Moore both gone but not forgotten. R.I.P ( Death is just a Heartbeat away ) brilliant line from a fantastic song from a excellent pair of musicians !
This amazing and very thought provoking song was filmed around Giants causeway in county Antrim, as well as other parts of Northern Ireland. Garry was from Belfast and this song is about the Troubles and their futility. Phil was from the Republic. Together they were musical Magicians. R.I.P Lads.
RIP Phil and Gary. These two were magic together, especially in Thin Lizzy. Trouble is they were as close as brothers, which means they fought and argued a lot. So that's why Gary never lasted long in the band and started his own instead, eventually going solo. This song was around 6 years after Moore's 3rd stint in Thin Lizzy. Lynott had fallen on hard times and Gary reached out for this collaboration. A wise move.
British military buddy, and it was more about roman Catholic's fighting Protestant's with the British troops brought in to police it but were caught in the middle of shitfest that was perpetuated by political deceit. Yes I was one of the soldiers on the ground in the 1980's and I still bare the scars and probably always will. Phil was Irish and Catholic and Gary was Northern Irish and Protestant but they were best friends playing in Skid Row and Thin Lizzy together - they both hated what the troubles had done to their country and it's people. I am Scottish with Irish ancestry with family either side of the divide.
@@erict956 Fair play mate I have friends who served and were very much in the middle of it with the IRA and loyalist paramilitary units, it was a terrible place to be in, Holmberg has no idea about the realities of what went on and how it has affected people down the years.
Many people forget just how versatile Gary Moore was. They get all enthralled with his '90s "back to his blues roots" period, but forget that he was a very serious shredding hard rock god in the 80s. He could write play and sing with the greats and was criminally underappreciated here in the States. Rest well Gary and Phil.
This is one of those songs that's a master class in song and lyric writing. Super catchy and sentences that are very simple to hear and remember, straight to the point, but so goddamned powerful. "No Flag or Uniform ever stopped a bullet from a gun." You could write songs your whole life and never come close to anything as powerful and poignant as that line right there. Yet for these guys it was Tuesday. They probably had those lyrics down before Phil finished his cigarette. Unreal.
Greetings from Germany...hehehe..strange kind of Guitar.? ..yes, it should become the name "SynthAxe", i think. It was something like a prototype, a weird try to mix strings and...i don't know....i guess, no one realy knows.. however, it was a fail, didn't work.. I quote: "The SynthAxe is a fretted MIDI controller that uses electronic synthesizers to produce sound. It was created in the mid-80s by Bill Aitken, Mike Dixon, and Tony Sedivy, in a joint venture funded by Richard Branson, but less than 100 units were ever made.". Oh, Phil was born in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England. . His mum was irish, his dad was from Guyana (..and left his family). So Phil grows up in Dublin, by his grandparents. Gary was born in Belfast. He wrote the single "Out in the Fields". On the B' side is the song "Military Man", written by Phil. They said, both were 'Anti-War-Songs' in generell... R.I.P GARY & PHIL 💚🌈💚
The song is about The Troubles in Ireland and Northern Ireland during the 70s and 80s. Look it up, really horrible to have to grow up during those times.
So glad you really enjoyed this, it was released in 1985 & is from Gary's album Run For Cover. The back drop to the video is The Troubles as they were called in Northern Ireland where Gary was from. Also featured in the video is The Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland which is a world heritage site. Gary & Phil were incredible playing together, so sad they are both gone. I would love to see your reaction to them performing Don't Believe a Word on the The Old Grey Whistle Test from 1978 it is something else. Keep up the good work!
What a track! The drumming was pretty dope too. About the troubles in Northern Ireland. Try reacting to another one from Gary and Phil called Military Man; I think it was the B side to Out in the Fields but an amazing track in its own right.
It's generally a misconception among outsiders that it was a "religious war." While it was drawn along religious lines so to speak, it wasn't about differences in religious outlook, but much more about civil rights than anything else at the start, at least from the catholic side, who very much lived and were treated as second class citizens by the ruling protestant elites
Both of them are so awesome, I'm glad I have Gary Moore on vinyl. Love it. His guitar playing and singing comes from the heart, you can see it from his face.
A lot of people get it wrong about Zombie, it was written in response to the IRA bombings in Warrington on the 20th March 1993, 3 year old Johnathan Ball was killed and 12 year old Tim Parry died on the 25th March when his life support was turned off, 54 other people were injured in the blasts, some seriously, Johnathan Ball had been out with his baby sitter shopping for a mother's day card.
Gary and Phil are Irish and grew up in basically a warzone which was called "the Troubles" between Protestants and Catholics and then the British soldiers who were there to "keep the piece"
Gary was one of the greatest guitarists, Phil was amazing as well, as a singer, songwriter and bassist. They were great friends, both in Thin Lizzy and on each other's solo albums. Both gone too soon and missed :( The irony of the fact that they were from opposite parts or Ireland, which was having a lot of difficulties/war/terrorism at the time, both calling for peace and mutual understanding. Gary was from Belfast, Phil from Dublin. I saw Gary Moore live approx 1990 in Boston and he blew my mind. I'm a guitarist, and at the time I was a "shredder", but Gary despite how quick he was, played with tremendous emotion and power, something you rarely see. I would compare it to the intensity of Stevie Ray Vaughan, but a different style of music.
One of the greatest duos to ever smack your ears synonymous with hard hitting guitars. fantastic coast road cruising music,roof down, wind in your hair the smell of salt. Music turned up to eleven
The War between Ireland and England that has raged on for generations .... Both Phil and Gay held this in many of their songs over the years. Miss them both dearly.
Phil Lynott and Gary Moore are the greatest musicians ever entering a stage. Period. And this "Out in the fields" was their true masterpiece and legacy to the world, released only about seven months before Phil tragically passed away. Way too soon.
Song about "the troubles" between Northern Ireland & Ireland. Lasted from the 1960's to 1998. Basically, they are pleading for peace. The 'weird guitar' had a built in synthesizer. Gary & Phil were in "Thin Lizzy" together & became great friends. After Gary left "Thin Lizzy" to go out on his own, they didn't speak to each other for around 3 yrs. When they got over that, Phil Lynott came back to do some collaborations with Gary's band. Phil Lynott died in 1986 after his body started shutting down (due to drugs). Gary organized a tribute to Phil Lynott concert in Ireland to include former members of "Thin Lizzy". The turn-out crowd was massive. The TL band were all from Ireland.
Great reaction video! I recommend you listen to another song where these two teamed up (from the same album, Run For Cover). It is called Military Man. There is no video for it, but it is another great anti-war song and was chosen as the B-side to Out In the Fields which reached #5 in the UK singles chart.
Metallica's Kirk Hammett paid two million bucks for one of Gary Moore's Les Pauls that had previously belonged to Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green. The guitar is known as 'Greenie'.
Check out Military Man also with Gary Moore and Phil Lynott although only Phil singing. Gary needed a flipside of this song and Phil had the perfect song especially concidered the like anti war theme. I think it was called a synth axe Gary was playing some typical '80s mix between guitar and synth.
Fantastic you did this thanks both Musical geniuses you should do more Thin Lizzy too and Gary Moore's solo stuff was good.Check out their other big hit Military Man and Gary's gorgeous Empty Rooms especially the live version
Gary Moore played the "SynthAxe" in this video. Not a real guitar but a "fretted MIDI controller that used electronic synthesizers to produce sound. The "SynthAxe" was created in the mid-80's by Bill Aitken, Mike Dixon and Tony Sedivy in a joint venture funded by Richard Branson. But less than 100 units of the "SynthAxe" were ever made. Most famous from this very song and video.
The very sad thing is that both of these guys are dead. Phil Lynott is the guy with the moustache, and is of mixed race but he has very strong connections with the Republic of Ireland and in particular Dublin. He died first. Some many years after Lynott's death Gary Moore the shorter man who is caucasian (white) and is actually from Northern Ireland (which is part of Britain/UK). Another track by Phil Lynott I would definitely recommend is Yellow Pearl .
Two of Ireland’s favourite sons and both died way too young. Take note Bono, if you want to preach to people, write a classic song about your views instead of ranting on for ten minutes in between each song. History will remember the music more!
This song brings me a undisclosed fact if anyone is going to invent some kind of armour that can stop bullet with 100 percent efficiency that some of a b is going to be so rich, if that that tech is even possible to invent.
For future reference as an Irishman I can tell you his name is pronounced lin-it. Haven't heard your pronunciation before, but English people often say Line-ott which is incorrect also.
Actually this is from Gary Moore's album Run For Cover.. Gary had Phil play on a couple songs like this and "Military Man"... Phil died like a year later...
This is a great song, but I don't like that synth melody at the end, because it sounds so childish. That is from the "Kapteeni Koukku" children's song (translates to "Captain Hook"...but original song is "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" in English). Otherwise this is one of the best songs from Gary, and I have used quite many hours of my life to try to tackle that guitar solo. Especially than run through the whole neck.
I gave you a "like" because I lke you Guys but I could not get into the rhythm of this because of your pausing which had already turned this into 5 segments when I left the scene @ 6.20 ...
phil was a dubliner and gary was from belfast, gary actually had two relatives murdered by the UVF a prodestant terrorist group during the troubles in northern ireland
2 criminally underrated musicians whose music has stood the test of time. Their songs still sound as good today as when they first came out.
Not underated at all I think
For sure. Amazing talents.
I absolutely love the guitar solo by Gary on this, it’s criminally short but absolutely banging
It's because his fret board was starting to smoke and his finger tips were catching fire!
Phil Lynott and Gary Moore both gone but not forgotten. R.I.P ( Death is just a Heartbeat away ) brilliant line from a fantastic song from a excellent pair of musicians !
If this song doesn't give you goosebumps your not human ❤ it ..

Yes, and poor Phil passed away early the following year 😢 This was a great final collaboration
Footage from Northern Ireland, lots of fighting between the IRA and english military in the 70`s and 80`s
Great choice guys and great song!

I'm from Derry Ireland I was just thinking that too !

There is no such thing as an English military.
2 great Irish men. 2 fantastic musicians

Rest well Gary and Phil.
The guitar he played is a synthaxe - literally a prototype guitar and synthesizer together. Alan Holdsworth played one too
Yeah, Holdsworth did whole albums of him playing the synthaxe. I have at least one of them kicking around here somewhere :)

Still one of my favorite songs of all time.

A Hymn against all Wars in General,the Irish Religion War in specific !

Rock In Peace Gary and Phil
Both of them are so awesome, I'm glad I have Gary Moore on vinyl. Love it. His guitar playing and singing comes from the heart, you can see it from his face.
They had a great chemistry. It’s a shame Phil died when he did because He and Gary would have done lots more stuff like this
Gary Moore is playing a Synthaxe/ Guitar Synthesizer during the break down
This song and The Cranberries “Zombie” are very powerful statements about the realities of The Troubles.
A lot of people get it wrong about Zombie, it was written in response to the IRA bombings in Warrington on the 20th March 1993, 3 year old Johnathan Ball was killed and 12 year old Tim Parry died on the 25th March when his life support was turned off, 54 other people were injured in the blasts, some seriously, Johnathan Ball had been out with his baby sitter shopping for a mother's day card.
another great song grown out from the Troubles, Paul Brady’s The Island.

AWESOME in every way 🤘😝🤘

I saw Gary Moore warming up for Queen at Råsunda stadion in Stockholm 1986-06-07..It was magic..and so was Queen too
Missing Gary Moore so much - The only artist everyone in my family enjoys at least one song from RIP
Awesome both RIP
The War between Ireland and England that has raged on for generations .... Both Phil and Gay held this in many of their songs over the years. Miss them both dearly.
Excellent song 🤘
This was my favourite song when I was in South armagh patrolling with the British army during the troubles in Northern Ireland
Phil Lynott and Gary Moore are the greatest musicians ever entering a stage. Period. And this "Out in the fields" was their true masterpiece and legacy to the world, released only about seven months before Phil tragically passed away. Way too soon.
He was playing a 'Synth-Axe', basically a guitar synthesizer. They were experimental back then.
They are playing togheter in some Thin Lizzy albums too!😍
Miss this kind of music. This is brilliant.

The kids relate to the troubles in Northern Ireland.
Gary Moore is a God. It always was. R.I.P.
Metallica's Kirk Hammett paid two million bucks for one of Gary Moore's Les Pauls that had previously belonged to Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green.
The guitar is known as 'Greenie'.
He didn’t pay 2 million for it. But yes, he owns Gary Moore’s 59’ Les Paul that was previously owned by Peter Green.
One day Kirk may actually manage to get half as good a solo out of it as Gary could.
Emphasis on the may part.
Timeless. The music (message included) as well as the footage. It's as simple es that.
Check out Military Man also with Gary Moore and Phil Lynott although only Phil singing. Gary needed a flipside of this song and Phil had the perfect song especially concidered the like anti war theme. I think it was called a synth axe Gary was playing some typical '80s mix between guitar and synth.
Awesome! 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
June 1985 I remember when it came out in Ireland one in a lifetime talent I met thin lizzy in 1985 in Dublin a year later he was dead
Tommy Johanson does a great cover of this
Concerning this you should liten to "Military man" too. Thank you for your wonderfull comens!
As an Irishman I thoroughly enjoyed her review of this song.
Fantastic you did this thanks both Musical geniuses you should do more Thin Lizzy too and Gary Moore's solo stuff was good.Check out their other big hit Military Man and Gary's gorgeous Empty Rooms especially the live version
Gary Moore played the "SynthAxe" in this video. Not a real guitar but a "fretted MIDI controller that used electronic synthesizers to produce sound.

One of my favourite tracks! Nice reaction as usual x
Música perfeita!
Pictures are from the Troubles in Belfast.
Basically the song is reffuring to the "troubles" Northern Ireland / Ulster.. 🇳🇿🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴 LOYAL.
Full chest voice belt, no mix involved. If you want to see how good and powerful his voice was, try singing that chorus.
Gary Moore was an outstanding guitarist and vocalist. RIP Gary
Great
Enjoy really this song musically
Musically this really enjoy song
The very sad thing is that both of these guys are dead.

Great reaction! Greetings from Sweden! :)
Footage of Belfast and Northern Ireland.
that there's a Synthaxe
i still got the blues for lynott.
That solo 🥰🥰🥰🥰
SUPER !!! Supreme Majesty make great COVER for this song ;-)
The instrument you couldn't identify was a digital guitar called a synth ax
Two of Ireland’s favourite sons and both died way too young. Take note Bono, if you want to preach to people, write a classic song about your views instead of ranting on for ten minutes in between each song. History will remember the music more!
This song brings me a undisclosed fact if anyone is going to invent some kind of armour that can stop bullet with 100 percent efficiency that some of a b is going to be so rich, if that that tech is even possible to invent.
Darpa had a prototype gel armour which reduced impact massively, but was unable to convince armies to invest in further development due to the cost.
Her reaction at 01:51 is indicating she loves children
It's a Synthaxe
Lynott rhymes with why not. But many from the UK say Linnot
Both Phil and Gary is Irish, rest in peace guys, hope to meet you again, and I guess the song is about nort irland ( get out of there englishmen)...
He's playing a synthax.
The guitar is the synthax.
6:14 Gary Moore needs no editing. Keep that in mind!
For future reference as an Irishman I can tell you his name is pronounced lin-it. Haven't heard your pronunciation before, but English people often say Line-ott which is incorrect also.
You have to listen to End of the world, murder in the skies both brilliant
Did that Phil Lynott documentary come out yet?
I was really looking forward to it.
De Aqui nació Stratovarious!!
The song is about the troubles...England War against the Irish...war protest song
It's about getting the British army off Irish soil and stopping the killing
thats them in thin lizzy.
Actually this is from Gary Moore's album Run For Cover.. Gary had Phil play on a couple songs like this and "Military Man"... Phil died like a year later...
Your the cutest couple on youtube :-D
It's a synth axe
Lol, the artistry and the writing of this music far exceeds music about..."DA CLUB" YO.
Thin lizzyyyyy
Synth guitar...probably a Roland
jinjer - mediator ok!!!!!!
Gary Moore - parisienne walkways. A legendary guitarist and artist, but haunted and decided to end his life. It's such a shame.
Yea another great song I wish wasn't written and recorded in the 80's sorry not sorry hahaha
SynthAxe
This is a great song, but I don't like that synth melody at the end, because it sounds so childish. That is from the "Kapteeni Koukku" children's song (translates to "Captain Hook"...but original song is "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" in English).

Irish vs England..
Lienott...it's the way ots pronounced
phil was a dubliner and gary was from belfast, gary actually had two relatives murdered by the UVF a prodestant terrorist group during the troubles in northern ireland
