#ThinLizzy #Marathon
When you have heard the 2 Lizzy Marathons, you know how brillant this Band was. Phil Lynott was honored with a Statue at the Bruxelles Club in Dublin, Ireland.
This is the thing about Phil. He could be a romantic, a poet, a rocker, a soul singer, a bluesman, a sensitive lover, the list goes on. So many bands are so one dimensional. They're either rockers or whatever and they straight jacketed as a result. It's like theyre set in concrete.But Phil was a chameleon and he never thought twice about stepping out of the leather jacket and studs image and being someone completely different. That's what made Thin Lizzy so good as a band, especially in their earlier days before the wretched drugs blunted his abilities. There's still a lot to come guys. Thank you for bringing them to a wider audience. They deserve it.
Well done to whoever chose these tracks. It's good to see someone reacting to this side of Thin Lizzy, because it's the ability to cover such a wide range of music that sets the band apart from the hard rock bands who followed in their wake. As someone who cares about lyrics, Dublin is my favourite because it's pure poetry set to music, it makes me nostalgic for a place I've never been. The acoustic guitars are by Eric Bell. He was arguably the most inventive and versatile of the Thin Lizzy guitar players, and the material he appears on is very different from what came later. Showdown came out in 1974, two years before Boz Scaggs took the US charts by storm with Lowdown (if you like this, you will also like that), which shows how attuned Phil Lynott was to what was going on musically. Darren Wharton played the piano on Fats, and Phil was adopting some of the vocal mannerisms of Louis Armstrong for the track. I tend to disagree with the idea that most metal guitar players can play anything. It's one thing to have the technique and the speed, but it's the phrasing that makes the difference, and not everyone who is used to playing on the beat can make the adjustment.
You hit the nail on the head - Lizzy were very versatile. Some of Phil Lynott's solo material was pure pop, on top of all of the rock, blues, funk and jazz. He was also a massively underrated bassist
This what makes Phil Lynoyy and Thin Lizzy one of the best bands ever.
Versatility!!
No one in the 70 or 80 was like Lizzy!!
I would love to have heard the Thin Lizzy song "Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed" in this list. It would fit right in. Love this band.
Love that song, funky as hell 👍
Great song and also Sarah would be good for this list. Phil wrote it for his daughter
THIS is a fantastic marathon! Fantastic song choices! Makes me realize how much I missed by having not bought the albums, and only knowing the "hits" (mostly)!
Nick, regarding your comments about Phil's obvious Joni Mitchell influence in "Dublin", is a pretty brilliant observation!
LOVED this one, guys!
I just heard this. It was awesome! I'm a fan of Thin Lizzy because they're so different. Thank you to Nick (the fan) for an amazing selection of songs. Thank you Nick (the host) for pointing out the Joni Mitchell phrasing. Thank you Lex, for the sax face! Some of these songs I've never heard before. But they have been added to my list of favorites. Great stuff!
Great work guys! so cool to hear someone take time to search out some cool Thin Lizzy vibes. One of the best bands that I have seen many times live. Phil Lynott is cool personified!😎
Dancing in the Moonlight is the best cut here and its no coincidence that it is the Live And Dangerous line up of the group. I know you don't like playing live tracks but if you don't play Live and Dangerous tracks, you have not covered Thin Lizzy. Love you guys. #nicknlexrequest
Does my heart good to hear people discovering Thin Lizzy's music...I discovered them when I was 11 in '76.....watching ya's reinforces/reminds me how great Phil and the boys were.
So great to see someone moved the way I was when I first heard them. I was a teenager. I knew they had something that most bands didn’t. They were so diverse! ❤
Saw Lizzy a couple of times, the last time on their farewell tour at the 1983 Reading Rock festival where they had all the musicians who ever played for them make an appearance on stage, which made things a touch crowded at times. Sykes, Moore and Robertson trying to share guitar duties was easier said than done.
Hi guy's I really enjoyed this.I'm Irish and have been a Lizzy fan since the 70's.I've seen them live many time's and they were the best gig's i've been to.Irish people do not call them Tin Lizzy except maybe parts of Dublin. I think Brian Downey is one of the most underrated drummer of all time.here are five more Lizzy song's if you're interested. Black boy's on the corner,Got to give it up,,Killer on the loose,Sugar Blues,and Running Back.i have another band that you probably have not heard ofand they are called Mama's boys,here are five track's from them.Needle in the groove,Runaway Dreams,Hard and Loud,Mama we're all crazee now and Crazy Daisy's house of dreams.
I want to thank you guys for. I have been a big fan for years and am always impressed by the creativity, thank you !
Thin Lizzy's first album is the only one, I don't own. But I didn't find Dublin on it, only on "Beginnings", some special sampler series, where songs of the early phase of bands are put together. But it might be on a later edition with bonus material, same with the Tango, it's not on the original LP "Vagabonds ...". Both songs represent the beginning of Thin Lizzy, they show, that they not only rocked, on "Vagabonds .." are songs as The Rocker and Gonna creep up on you and of course Whiskey in the jar, a song, I expect everybody on the channel to know, the younger ones maybe only the Metallica cover. Showdown is the next example of "the other side of Lizzy", the same I can say about "Dancing ..", I would even call it a smash hit, being Top 20 in England and lift the album to #4 in the charts. Even though I own Renegade, I don't remember Fats ... because back in those days I liked the rocking Lizzy and didn't care so much for the "soft" Lizzy. Nowaydays I enjoy these songs and have to say thank you to Nick - the requester - for remembering us of the "other side of Lizzy"
To Nick and Alexia I have to say, I can't remember having you seen so much fun, laught so much, GREAT SHOW 😃👍
#nicknlexrequest# CCR - Long as i can see the light - my earliest sax solo that I liked
I'm a fan now! Only having heard a couple of their songs before (and I wasn't super impressed), it was great to hear another side of this band. Thanks for this!
I've only heard The Boys Are Back In Town. I love it, but it's great to hear more by them.
Where to start! The versatility I guess. If someone who had never listened to Thin Lizzy were to listen to their self titled debut album and then listened to their last studio album "Thunder and Lightning" you would never guess they were by the same band. My favorite band,along with Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Loved how you mentioned Iron Maiden and the Scorpions as similar,was just talking about that with a musician friend the other day. Thin Lizzy is criminally under exposed and underrated. They are the only band that I have listened to their entire discography(Maiden and Priest are close 2nd's)and I continue to jive on them to this day. Anyway,this was a first time experience for me,and it was awesome to see their music from a new perspective. Thank you!!!!!
Their Live shows showed just how Amazing this band is.I came to the conclusion that Phil bass player and vocalist ,founder of the band, created the music, great story teller in the lyrics
is a Genius! The entire band Live is one of the best!
Hi Guys, this is a brilliant marathon. The softer side of Thin Lizzy, which Phil Lynott went back to before he died when he recorded his 2 solo albums. There are a few up tempo tracks on them but they are not rock. There's orchestra & even a brass section on his last album simply called "The Phil Lynott Album" The other was called "Solo in Soho" and even had Mark Knopfler on guitar on one of the tracks "Kings Call" about the death of Elvis. There is a track he puts on both albums called "Yellow Pearl" and a compilation album goes by the same title. It was used in England as the theme tune to Top Of The Pops for many years. It's a brilliant disco track. [ there were 2 versions ...one mostly instrumental .. the Top of the Pops version ] The vocal version is the best one from "Solo in Soho" especially when he sings on echo "What we lack,...what we lack....what we lack" & the voice goes so much deeper. Love that part. Byeee Jim X
Surely it is time for a Steely Dan Marathon. HIGHLY recommend FLORIDA ROOM, WEST OF HOLLYWOOD (one of their BEST and most underrated songs) and WALK BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS. All are very different...and, as usual, brilliantly composed, produced and presented.
I've collected all Thin Lizzy albums beginning of the 90's after listening to a ' best of' album called Dedication. The band is so diverse. Phil Lynott also relased 2 solo albums , 'Solo in Soho' from 1980 and ' The Phillip Lynott album from 1982.
I enjoy those as well. Maybe more a ' poppy' style' but great songs. Maybe you know the song 'Old Town' from the 1982 album. That songs has been covered by a lot of artists.
One of their heaviest albums is Maybe Thin Lizzy Live At the Reading Festival from 1983. If I'm well informed this was one of their last shows before the final farewell.
It's funny how time can increase a band's rep. When I was a teenager we considered TL light weights. Glad to see their star has risen over the years - they're a great band! 💗
Doin FATS!!!!! Thank You! All the not so known songs are the best. Like "Dont play around".
Loving the sound you are putting out since the tech upgrades y'all did! Thanks for making awesome reaction vids! 🤗
Hissing Of Summer Lawns album, by Joni Mitchel was apparently one of Phil's favourite albums, Edith and The Kingpin, most Beautiful.
1977 El Paso county coliseum thinn Lizzy opening for Black Sabbath
When Lizzy first started out they supported Rush on a few shows . In fact on the sleeve notes of Bad Reputation there's a comment thanking their ' good friends Rush'
People kept referring to Thin Lizzy as their favorite band. I bought one of their releases and didn’t see it … UNTIL NOW ! I just need to dig deeper… what a wonderful marathon. When I was in 3rd year of college, I was paired in the dorm with an international student from Ireland and I thought for most of that year the the band name was “Tin Lizzy” 😂. He didn’t have any of his music with him so I unfortunately didn’t get exposed to them back them and missed out. You guys are great ! Thanks to the author of this marathon list too !
The name Thin Lizzy came from a robot character in The Dandy comic book called Tin Lizzie, which they adjusted to Thin Lizzy as a playful reference to the local Dublin accent, in which "thin" would be pronounced as "t'in".
In America, Tin Lizzie is another name for the Model T Ford. I still call Thin Lizzy Thin Lizzy
Brilliant selection one of the greatest bands ever well done Nick and Lex on your superb reaction it was a pleasure listening in on your channel
I think Marley's timing was perfect! He knew you two needed to cool down. That was such a great selection and it was great to see someone hear these tunes for the first time. Gonna go and watch the rest.
Please do Cowboy Song.
Good to hear this side of Thin Lizzy. Maybe, you need some Gary Moore as well.
Most of these songs were with Scott Goram and Brian Robertson. Gorham, Eric Downey on drums (underrated and awesome) the song writer and creator as well as Bassists Phil Lynott. Later John Sykes would be a perfect match until the end. Later Sykes would play for Whitesnake.
Youch! 5 songs from The Lizzies?!
I’m interested to hear if they’re any good!? I only ever knew a couple songs that were fun to listen to.
Still giggling about the excited Lex whooping at the outdoor concert! ❤😂
😂 Too much whoo!? 🙊
I've also been wondering if it was Alexia .. it sounded really familiar 😂
@@rudolfbecker4313 OMGGG 🤭🤭🤭
@@NicknLex just sounded like you were REALLY excited!😎❤️👍
Loving these tracks, love you guys. How do I take part in adding my favourite top 5 Thin Lizzy tracks for you to react to?
I've always called the band Thin Lizzy. Not sure about Ireland but in America, Tin Lizzie is another name for the Model T Ford car from 1908.
The story goes that when Phil Lynott (bassist and singer) and Brian Downey (drummer) were at school together, one of their favourite comic strips was about a female robot named Tin Lizzy. In the local Dublin accent, words that start with "th" are pronounced like just T, so they reversed it and turned Tin Lizzy into Thin Lizzy.
Hi nicknlex paddy I'm from Ireland thin lizzy have been my part off my life over fifty years just love the band just a few song for a marathon Warrior from Jailbreak Cowboy song from Jailkreak Don't believe a word from Johnny the fox
A Song for While I'm Away is another early Thin Lizzy, I always called them Thin and not Tin, anyway these are all early songs or first phase Lizzy and not a successful period for the band outside Ireland. Second stage Lizzy is the Rocker side duelling guitar phase.
Well done Nick 😂! yes soooooo important that people realise that lizzy & Lynott tried continuously to explore their « sound » and genre. They are not just « Boys are back in town ». Although they excelled in the dueling guitars rock, there is so much more to their musical narrative. The record companies wanted more rock albums and success but Lynott wanted more (risking in doing so to alienate fans and dilute their musical identity) - so check out his solo albums and other collaborations. The irony of course is that their last studio album with John Sykes « Thunder & Lightning » is their hardest and one of their best - a very coherent album. cheers you guys for the joy you bring❤
100% indeed!
this base is what you get when the leader of the band is the base player... Think Lemmy in Motorhead and Burke Shelley in Budgie
The sax player is from the graham parker band.
Una marathon con los mejores temas de la renga me muero bien muerto 💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🤟🎵🎶🎶🎶
Still no "Live and Dangerous" or "Jailbreak" album ?? Amazing it's Lizzy's Best !!
I guess I'll give up I've tried for a year !! 🤔
Superb stuff other Nick...lol! I think Lex should be the one learning the sax Nick...lol. Definite stank face going on in this marathon 🤣🤣! Lizzy lays heavy in my LP collection, and glad to see their music getting out there.
You need to be looking at Rory Gallagher another Irish Star and one of the best guitarists there ever was.
Done very little of him!
wow one of my fav groups....I mean just bad ass...and you chose the more unknown songs which I love..Dancing in the Moonlight is one of my fav songs all time.
Rosalie Live is amazing!
I believe “Toight like a Toiger” is from Austin Powers. Now…
where’s my lollipop? Lol
🍭
@@NicknLex 🤦♂of course!
You're awesome .guys I thought I was the ultimate progressive fan . But you guys blow me away
I knew them all besides fats I didn’t even know that song, I was going through all the albums in one go and I stopped at the beginning of renegade due to time constraints but I’m happy I found fats now
I have a couple of suggestions. Carly Simon “That’s The Way I Always Heard It Should Be” and Phoebe Snow “Never Letting Go”.
Hi Peeps ,From a sunny Cornwall ! just had a listen to your Thin Lizzy marathon "Brill Ace " one my fav bands ! I do think you have been mis informed on the bands name , Tin Lizzy was a comic character ,so they inserted a h to spell Thin , its spelt that way on all their albums ,it was about copy right ,not on how it is pronounced,!! Cheers ,great choice of tunes , Graham
About time for some Ozark Mountain Daredevils guys their first album is superb
👌
Nice having a wider variety from Thin Lizzy here.
The Movie quote: no idea, but my wild guess is: 'Snatch' by Guy Ritchie?
Good guess and great movie, but it's actually from Austin Powers Goldmember! 😂
@@NicknLex 😄🙈
One word... Frankie Carroll
Show me one more hard rock band that can pull this off. There are none. Shows Phil and the bands diversity. They could play anything. The piano solo on Fats, is then 20 year old Lizzy keyboard-player Darren Wharton. Just brilliant. And your observation on Phil’s phrasing; Ace producer Tony Visconti referred to Phil as the “Sinatra of rock”. He often had more in common with Sinatra and his crooner-friends when it comes to phrasing than his hard rock companions. So good observation. Phil Lynott had three books of poetry published. A real poet. His lyrics are on another level. Thanks for a great marathon.
If I didn't previously known Thin Lizzy the first two songs would have been misleading, though the are nice songs in a contrast sort of way. Showdown was way more interesting, as a showdown should be. Dancing in the Moonlight I already knew and it's great, with some overtones that associated in my head to sound similar to the Pink Panther song. Fats sounds like a homage to Fats domino.
Fats Waller.
Huey Lewis plays sax on Dancing in the Moonlight and then opened for them on the world tour allowing him to play that sax solo live. #nicknlexrequest
I think It's john helliwell from superstramp... huey Lewis played harmonica in "baby drive me crazy" and solo stuff of phil
The drummer in Supertramp was Scott Gorham’s brother in law
Thin Lizzy blew black Sabbath away
Deep cuts
Not really “Tin” Lizzy. They (Philip Lynott) picked the name from a character in a dime store comic book featuring a female robot named “ Tin Lizzy”
Are you guys pretending to like this songs. I don't know about this selection of songs , but Thin Lizzy has some great songs such as jailbreak and whiskey in the jar. Good show though, you guys have great channel. I really like it.👍👏
Nobody else comes cl😢 to your progressiveness
Fats …… fats domino , that’s the coarseness in his voice. It’s done on purpose !!
Fats Waller is who he referring to.
