Phil Lynott is the kind of guy every singing bassist should aspire to be. Interesting basslines that don't step on the rest of the band but also a cohesive voice that stays interesting even though he isn't doing multiple octave runs. He's like a classic medieval bard singing his tales and playing his instrument. Lovely stuff.
Phil Lynott is an Irish legend, there is a statue of him in Dublin - we love him 😀 A friend of mine played in a Lizzy tribute band ( Thin as Lizzy ) and Phil's mother Philomena regularly attended the gigs, I had the pleasure of sitting with her on several occasions and she was a lovely lady. Parisienne walkways ( with Gary Moore ) and the live version of Still in love with you ( from Live and Dangerous ) are stunning. Keep up the good work and more 70's rock please😀
Did you know that “Wild One” is about Philomena? She left Phil with his granny in Dublin and went to a Manchester where she ran her own hotel. And this is written from the perspective of the boy he was then, who missed her and only saw her rarely. They got on very well when he was an adult, but he never forgot the lonely boy he had been
Phil is someone who deserves so much more accolades for his contributions to music. You have so many paths to follow when it comes to his music. One song, he is singing about the Angel of Death, where on another song, he is singing a beautiful song about his daughter "Sarah". The man could segue from hard rock, metal, pop, ballad, punk seamlessly. Man, I miss him. Dig deep into his catalogue and enjoy what you discover.
Some people are critical of Phil Lynott because he doesn't have the kind of rock voice they expect having heard the likes of Bruce Dickinson or Rob Halford. But in the 1970's this was all still new, and there were no rules regarding how you should sing. Phil was an impeccable storyteller with a very intimate and expressive way of communicating with an audience. His phrasing, his ability to sing off and around the beat, is a great part of what makes him so effective.
I'm sorry but people who think he should have sounded like Bruce Dickinson or Rob Halford are really missing the point, imo. His voice was absolutely perfect for Thin Lizzy. Would it have been perfect in maiden or priest? Probably not but that's not the point. The point is Lizzy wasn't a fuckin metal band, I think sometimes people who are musically ignorant get confused by what genre they are because of the stellar guitar playing and all of the harmony solos. Everyone always wants to cram shit into boxes to make their little brains feel in control ( me included 😢). But with Thin Lizzy it's always been obvious to me, at least, that they were just a great rock band with storytelling style lyrics and the aforementioned killer guitar harmonies which, btw, had never really been heard before at the time they came out. Of course they influenced maiden and priest and many other twin guitar bands that came after but yeah if Bruce or Rob were singing with Thin Lizzy with the production they had I really don't think it would have worked 😎
British singers tend to adopt an American accent because it SELLS. Look at Adele. She has a London accent when speaking, but sings as if she's American. Phil did the same....
One of the greatest rock n roll bands ever, they deserve to be ranked up with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Phil Lynott is one of the best singer players there has been, not to mention later on Gary Moore one of the greatest guitar players ever joined the band . Though everyone one that played in the band was incredible.
as a producer ...i don't think i would cut or edit any part of this if it were a studio take ...he nailed this live ! I love his voice...never considered him a rangey singer...but he has soul and accuracy. He has the thing that all great have ....you know its him ..nobody sounds like him
You're by far my favourite reactor. You have a vocabulary that is impressingly beautiful and you express yourself with an ease that is so lovely to hear and listen to. Was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy live at the 1983 Reading Rock Festival in England on their farewell tour which had all the members that ever were in the band have their moment. Cheerio lass. Keep on keeping on.
Hey Ireland! Hold your heads high. This music is amazing. When I was a kid in short pants in the 70s, I would always stop and listen when Lizzy came on the radio. Talent running right through the band, and so groundbreaking with the guitar harmonies. Where is this in today's music? RIP Phil. I bet your mum was as proud as punch!
I think you are spot on with your entire analysis of Phil and I appreciate that you chose this song as well. It's a beautiful song. His singing is powerful without being overdone and the emotion comes through. It's my favorite song by them. Well done Madam Vocalyst.
Thanks for this ! Lovely to see you analyse Phil. A unique combination of cool , emotion , killer phrasing , and lyrical genius. Very much missed by millions ❤
I love this reaction, thanks so much. And a great song on which to start your Thin Lizzy journey, as I've long thought Wild One was one of Philip Lynott's finest vocal performances, and one of the few on which he allowed his natural Irish accent to come to the fore. And what a voice! His unique phrasing and sound, you can't mistake him for anybody else. Really good of you to pick up on that end-of-line breathiness. That's a bit of a feature of Lynott's vocal style, and pops up all over the place in his songs.
Phil Lynott was one of the coolest guys to ever front a band on stage! He had a very special way of singing sometimes if was almost like he was rapping! Thin Lizzy is so much more than Boys are back in town but it is their most famous song after all and the only song that became at least a minor hit in the U.S. For various reasons they never really got a bigger break through in the U.S. despite touring there. Here in Europe they were huge offcourse. Btw you're the first one i've seen/heard analyzing Phil's voice!
The case of Thin Lizzy is fascinating but also very sad, they're rock and roll royalty but at the same time very few people don't seem to even know them. I love the sound of the guitar on this clip, clean and raw at the same time. Very underrated band.
Another overlooked talent that Phil Lynott had was his ability to play all of the bass lines live while he held down all of the lead vocals! Not an easy accomplishment.
Completely agree on your point about these kind of songs being easier to sing and i have always loved Phil's warm tones .That's why i find the first 2 albums by Thin Lizzy to be among my faves as they are very blues, folk driven and really show his voice at its best(imo)...Thin Lizzy were always among my faves growing up and i still love them now...Great reaction....Peace..
“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 Leighlin Road. And when I’m on Leighlin Road, I say I’m a Lynott." God love ye, Phil.
I've always loved Phil Lynott's voice and singing style. I think there are two elements that contribute a lot to them: 1. A slight "lazy" quality, whereby he's often just a shade behind the beat, which makes it sound very relaxed and casual, 2. He makes vowels very full, with a swell at the start and round-off at the end, but the swell is relatively slow, so he kind of "slides into" the vowel rather than sounding it with a bright, immediate attack. There are lots of good Thin Lizzy tracks to choose from. Parisienne Walkways (with Garry Moore) and Whiskey In The Jar are the classics, of course, but you should also consider Dancing In The Moonlight, Do Anything You Want To Do and my personal favorite, Don't Believe A Word.
This live version was good, but the studio version is haunting in a way. The production is also special to the feeling it gives you. Phil's performance on it too is special. Take a listen:)
What nice to see you reacting to one of my big time bands of all times. Phil was a poet and with his nostalgic voice and his other musical abilities he was truly one of the great ones. I was lucky to see the band with Phil and although long ago I remember that it was magical. Keep digging my friend. And discover the greatness from Phil and the band. Nice!
I was fortunate to see them in NYC at the Palladium and they were the most fun band to see in concert I ever saw. They could get the crowd really going with them, song after song. Best show I ever saw. Phil sounded so good live.
It was a wondeful time to be alive the 70's. So much great music and so many great bands. There is a rebirth of rock and metal coming out of Japan at the moment, you have already done Lovebites, but there are so many more bands and singers for you to explore.. Would love to see you react to the song Reincatrnation by a band called Aldious. The singers name is Re:No and sadly had to quit the band due to an inner ear disease, really sad, she was such a great singer. The song is actually about how the disease has killed her music career. The song is an eiry combination of Violin, acoustic guitar, full on metal and haunting, silky smooth vocals.. Best wishes as always from France..
This was an amazing video for me as Thin Lizzy is my favourite band. I would love to see your reaction to more Phil Lynott performances because I believe he is one of the most underrated performers ever. Also, his last name is pronounced as lie-not, he used to get angry when it was pronounced differently 😂
As much as I like to listen to Phil Lynott´s voice, I like to listen Bethany analyzing. Wonderful diction, my rally-English ears can understand everything. Easily. Thank you again for a quality video !
I just found you. You do a wonderful analysis and I binge watched about 10 videos last night. I enjoy your open mindedness when you listen to the variety of artists. I just have one request: Try a Little Tenderness by the Commitments. The lead singer was only 16 when he made the movie. His voice is out of this world.
Lynott had a really mesmerizing voice. Listen to the track Black Rose from the album with the same name. His voice sounds really big. And warm, like dripping honey. There's he's doing all this you're talking about here. And his phrasing has more in common with crooners like Sinatra and Sammy Davis jr than his rock and roll colleagues. He was totally unique.
One of my main music regrets was missing Thin Lizzy's only tour of Australia in 1978. It was a wet day in Melbourne and it was an outdoor gig, still kicking myself. Love to hear your review/analysis of Brad Delp from Boston performing the classic More Than A Feeling.
it is great the way you are deconstructing the vocal performance for us. I suspect many of us are well versed in guitar, bass, drums, keys but your addition looking at vocal technique is excellent .Many thanks and keep it up - love this.
The bass lines and overall vocal and song build up in Cowboy Song is beautiful if you are looking for another somewhat lesser known Thin Lizzy song to react to.
Hi, you mentioned Phil’s range and perhaps not having heard in this great song - so I would recommend Thunder and Lightning, or Cold Sweat by Thin Lizzy. This will show how Phil was able to adapt to a heavier rock scene in the early 80s.
When Elvis died in 77, Phil who was a huge hardcore Elvis fan, locked himself up in his room for a week and listened to nothing but Elvis’ records, while drinking, not wanting to get bothered by anyone. He hadn’t forgotten who had started the ball rolling for all of them.
I wear Lizzy t-shirts on the reg now that I’m entering my senior years, and while I’ve felt like one of very few that knows of the band, about 3 people per day come up and say anything from “greatest band ever”, to “my dad used to work as a roadie for them”. There are loads of fans left out there, in hiding.
I was lucky enough to see Phil a few months before he passed we went to Hammersmith Odeon to see Gary Moore & Phil came on to sing Parisiene walkways & out in the fields. I grewup listening to Thin Lizzy and it was great to see them together.
Phil Lynott is the kind of guy every singing bassist should aspire to be. Interesting basslines that don't step on the rest of the band but also a cohesive voice that stays interesting even though he isn't doing multiple octave runs.

As a bassist , truth
i wish i could forget Thin Lizzy, just to have that feeling of hear them for the first time.
I agree; Thin Lizzy is so ridiculously beautiful
Same
Look a track up by Phil called "For Always" it's a ballad and it's amazing.🎸🎶
Thin Lizzy are Rock n Roll royalty 🤘
But not in the rock n roll Hall of Fame hahaha, what a complete joke
@@kevinkeith3530 who cares about RRHF?
@@anicolau ya good point, I certainly don't..
It will be the hall of Shame until Lizzy are recognised in there.🍀@@kevinkeith3530
Phil Lynott is an Irish legend, there is a statue of him in Dublin - we love him 😀
A friend of mine played in a Lizzy tribute band ( Thin as Lizzy ) and Phil's mother Philomena regularly attended the gigs, I had the pleasure of sitting with her on several occasions and she was a lovely lady.
Parisienne walkways ( with Gary Moore ) and the live version of Still in love with you ( from Live and Dangerous ) are stunning.
Keep up the good work and more 70's rock please😀
What a great guy Phil was! A poet, a lover and a hero to renegades everywhere. God bless Ireland 😊
Did you know that “Wild One” is about Philomena? She left Phil with his granny in Dublin and went to a Manchester where she ran her own hotel. And this is written from the perspective of the boy he was then, who missed her and only saw her rarely. They got on very well when he was an adult, but he never forgot the lonely boy he had been
I used to go to them when played the quays in Galway and the old oak in Cork ..nearest and closest sound to the main man himself ❤
Phil Lynott is a legend world wide brother. This song means so much to me.👍🇦🇺
Phil is someone who deserves so much more accolades for his contributions to music. You have so many paths to follow when it comes to his music. One song, he is singing about the Angel of Death, where on another song, he is singing a beautiful song about his daughter "Sarah". The man could segue from hard rock, metal, pop, ballad, punk seamlessly. Man, I miss him. Dig deep into his catalogue and enjoy what you discover.

wow...thin lizzy are my fav band ...but i must say what a natural beauty this woman is
I just love the guitar harmonies Thin Lizzy incorporated in many of their songs.
The band I saw live more than any other back in the day. I still mourn the passing of Phil. A genuine LEGEND in every sense.
me to 8 times between 5 nov 76 lancaster uni and reading august 83

@@12rotter Nah. As Irish as they come!
The fact that he can play bass and sing at the same time is just amazing. I've heard that it should be quite difficult
Such a unique voice and one of my favororites. It is haunting and makes you feel. I miss bands that can make you really feel.
Phil was a genius …. Wonderful songwriter, would like to see you do more Thin Lizzy

The greatest band ever. Peace from Ireland 🇮🇪
Just got back from Dublin and they are indeed proud of Thin Lizzy, not to mention other great artists from The Emerald Isle! Thx Bethany!
Forget U2. Lizzy is the greatest Irish band ever.
Yes!
YES!!!!❤❤❤❤
Forgotten
Greatest irish (hard) rock band, but u2 is the greatest irish band. I love the both. Greetings from Hungary.
his voice just soars on the studio version ! great reaction !
Very true
One of my favorite songs they did. Never thought id see a reaction to it, cool!
Very cool! TL is one of my top 5 fav pure rock bands. No hype, no theatrics, no screaming. Just great musicians and great songs.
Nice job
Another overlooked talent that Phil Lynott had was his ability to play all of the bass lines live while he held down all of the lead vocals! Not an easy accomplishment.
And lookin oool af while doing it ,and draws audience in 😊
i love Thin Lizzy! thank you so much! you are a blessing !
you described this song in a way I never could, and it hit home on every note.
Phil was a poet, literally (😂) before he was a musician. I believe that's why his delivery was so beautiful!
One of my all time fave front men ever…
One of my absolute favourites by Thin Lizzy. Instantly recognizable voice. And those harmonizing guitars. Beautiful song
Completely agree on your point about these kind of songs being easier to sing and i have always loved Phil's warm tones .That's why i find the first 2 albums by Thin Lizzy to be among my faves as they are very blues, folk driven and really show his voice at its best(imo)...Thin Lizzy were always among my faves growing up and i still love them now...Great reaction....Peace..

Phil sang the way he talked ,nothing put on a so chilled guy like most genuine dublin guy's ,I was so in love with SCOTT.❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoy your channel,Phil wrote stories,I don't know if it's a Irish thing but it's great
Saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon .now the Apollo . . . Was the Chinatown Tour '79ish . . Awesome gig . . .
I saw them play in '76 or '77 and one of the guitarists was sick so it was just a 3-piece band that night. They still rocked.
First time watching you channel, just wow. Amazing reaction and subbed, about to binge watch what I've missed lol. Thank you.
This song is such a fucking vibe 🤘
Some people (most) love the Freddie Mercury stuff, for me that is just flash, this man had true pure soul.
Both were pretty special...
I met Phil Lynott and we had a great Irish/Scottish poetry discussion and yes accents too.
This whole album is one of my favourites it’s pure perfection

Our beloved Philo. Best rocker that ever came outta Ireland 🇮🇪 . Still a God here of course! Left us way to so.
I absolutely love this band and "Wild One" is one of their best. Thanks for making these videos.

If you want to hear an amazing thin Lizzy song still loving you off the live and dangerous album is a must listen
Still in love with you is by far my favorite song , you should react to that. Makes me cry every time 😢
This man had so much talent, played Lizzy records off the turntable as a teenager in 70’s but the music even now brings me so much joy 😊
Best reaction channel hands down. Beautiful music ,beautiful song , beautiful smile.
Cowboy Song or Still in Love with You would be great songs to review by Thin Lizzy
Thin Lizzy had real swagger and poise as a band yet as people they were really modest.
Yeah, check the studio version of the track Black Rose. His voice just takes over. Massive

I love Thin Lizzy I miss them and Phil a great deal. I count myself fortunate for having seen them live they were mighty.
I have only cried 3 times in my life over the death of musicians, Elvis, John Lennon and Phil Lynott.❤
Confessions. I´ve cried when Ronnie James Dio and Gary Moore passed away. And now I´m sad again having written that.
Never got Elvis or the Beatles, John Lennon was very talented and Elvis had a good voice but he was so camp and couldn’t dance.

It’s ‘Lie-not’ - Philip himself pronounced it that way, heard it ‘live’ myself in Dublin in 1983 - so take that to the bank! 😉
