    Today we are taking a look at 'The Boys Are Back in Town' by Thin Lizzy, a song that is often transcribed incorrectly!
    “The Boys Are Back in Town” is easily one of the greatest hard rock hits of all-time. Apart from its immediate commercial success and what it did for the band, the song would forge Thin Lizzy’s legacy as a progenitor of heavy metal, with bands like Metallica, Alice in Chains, Mastodon, and Testament all citing Thin Lizzy as a primary influence!

    What’s your favourite Thin Lizzy Riff?

    I've had 4 speeding tickets in my life. Two of them were due to this song, one was due to Sammy Hagar's "I can't drive 55", and the other was because I just gave my Dog a bath and wanted to dry him by going 90 mph with my windows open. The last one actually got me laughed at by the trooper who was also a Dog guy. While I was signing the ticket he was petting my dog.

    theyd played it so effortlessly live in 76, was just watching a vid, I would be a basketcase trying to play all the guitar stuff correctly and change at the right time live, amazing stuff, thanks. Robertson was only 20, how could he be so good at such a young age especially before internet?

    They used Traynor amps on the entire Jailbreak album.

    After the opening power chord you hear a bass run, NOT a muffled guitar string. Watch Thin Lizzy videos of The Boys are back in Town and youll see.

    You do realise on here scott gorham has a sit down and plays through the song so who better to learn from than the man himself.

    Best version yet. Used to play this in the early eighties but it was difficult getting the parts off a vinyl record. No Lizzie tabs around those days. No slow down software. You spent 75% of your practise time trying to copy the parts best you could by moving your record back and forth and damaging both the needle and the record..

    It's crazy I have went my whole life without hearing anyone talk about Midge Ure until today where I heard it twice. Once from Philip McKnight and once from you.

    The most common mistake is in the second half of the verses, 9 pit of 10 players use f major but the cool missing chord should be d minor 7th ,

    this came out in 1976 and every power band heavy metal band took this power accords and made it in to their stuff Scott Gorham and Phil Lynott co wrote a song that will be immortal, its rather sad they aren't in RNR hall of fame

    Saw Thin Lizzy in Seattle when the first album came out and I'm fortunate enough to play this song with my brother in our local band. You nailed it!
