Not one of the best Thee Best. Saw them 3 times. They were amazing. Hope to see them in Townsville a few years ago but they pulled out at the last minute.
One of the best songs I heard in Arnhem, the Netherlands. I am Irish and my son and daughter were born in Arnhem. I hoped that 'The boys are back in town' a wonderful tribute to Thin Lizzy was played there, would be played there again. Irish rock is the best and our beloved Phil song that.
Indeed this song is truly an amazing song, Thin Lizzy is such a talented artist and this is one of my best song of her. Can we be friends hope you don't mind ?
The Boys Are Back In Town, My 6 brothers and I were very lucky to get to see Thin Lizzy play live gigs and concerts all over the lands from the early day up to the end, they were the best rocking band, they had class, style, lead by a master wordsmith, poet, historian and total rocked, each and every man in this band, total master musicians. The boys never left my town, I can easily recall each and every one of the Thin Lizzy gigs that we attended as young men, now a little older, the music and memories still remains the same quality, I still miss Phil & Gary
00:28 it's chord changes like that that creates a certain tension which pretty much devides the average songs from the great ones, very smart and musical. +In Thin Lizzy's case the dual guitar solos are a similar factor as well, those 2 qualities are what made them one of the greats.
the song has one jazz-fusion verse, and an hard rock verse with 3 sharp chord changes. The studio version is a bit sedated, late live version are explosive.

The thing I loved about Lizzy, other than their great musicianship, was that the lyrics were crystal clear and there's no ambiguity about what he's saying. That's unusual for a rock band...
I don't know what rock bands are you talking about, probably not the ones I'm listening to but, yeah, Phil's lyricism is way above everyone else in rock 'n' roll.
RIP Phil, a true LEGEND that was too good, too talented and just too god like to be down here on Earth. Instead, he keeps the music in heaven banging! I just listened to Jeff Wayne's War Of The World's and Phil is just SO bloody good as the preacher. What an incredible voice he had, both singing and speaking. His portrayal of a shell-shocked preacher shows just how incredibly multi talented Phil truly was. That's real acting, a very, very convincing portrayal that really stands out as the best on that incredible album. He might not have lived very long (poor guy was only 36 when he passed, truly heartbreaking) but those years he lived left such an indelible mark on British music, with him still influencing untold numbers of musicians around the world!
🎶 Very well stated sir. 🎵 🤔 _BTW I have always felt that he influenced Prince greatly with his LOOK during Prince's Purple Rain, reign... The hair style is a dead ringer!_ #JustSayin 🤷🏽♂️ *Cheers from **#CancúnMéxico* 🍻🤘🏽🥁🎤🇲🇽
I remember a time about 1980/81. Several of our family had come to celebrate Christmas with our mam in Birmingham. I was living in Manchester with a brother, 2 came down from Preston & 1 was in Brum. We made a fine sight striding through the village where we were known. This song was going through my head , when we were recognised, I just said 'The boys are back in town'.
fully, totally, completely agree with you, I know that is true because with my 6 brothers we got to see the greatest rocking band of all time play live many times but not enough times. Phil and Thin Lizzy music and stories will last forevermore
What a belter Phil Lynott is!!!! Came from Crumlin in Dublin like my Dad too!! He is tons more talented that my old man though. The Charisma is electric.
16 here, and my dad introduced me to ‘whiskey in the jar.’ I really liked it so I started listening to all their other songs and I was actually surprised when I found out that they made this song too as I’ve heard it on a commercial. Now I’m literally obsessed with them and can’t stop listening to all of their songs! My favourites are mostly ‘whiskey in the jar’, ‘it’s only money’ and ‘jailbreak,’ and they’re probably in my most favourite top 10 songs of all time so far. I wish more young people like me would learn more about these underrated(?) bands and how much talent they had compared to now (no shade lol)! Good thing Bands like queen and Beatles are being more recognised among the younger generations though, and I hope it stays like that. Anyways, Thin Lizzy is awesome!!
@@garrymcdonald5456 I am a "Metallica" guy, but once I got the change to hear Lizzy's version, I fell in love with that one. I also dislike all the Garage Inc video clips, lol.
I've seen Thin Lizzy, wow loads of times but sadly, I just missed Mr. Lynott. As he played in Chester, that is in England a place called Quaintways. A friend of mine Terry saw them several times and got on with Phil Lynott. So on these occasions, sat at the bar drinking Guiness with Mr. Lynott and talking about music, his very own words ' What a genuinley great bloke, we talked about music and bands until he had to go on' Maybe it's because of the Celtic connection as we both have rellies in Eire. Don't now. But what I've been told by a friend, Phil Lynott was a real top bloke. Sadly taken away from us, Keep on Rockin'.
@@karmpuscookie Funny thing was, we did not realise that until we got there, we could not find it as we thought it was a Hall, not a showground building, and we went past it and ended up going towards Uttoxoter . We turned around, as we thought there were many people at the showground. Oh my, trying to get out with the car at the end of the show was long, and then we had to drive back upto Yorkshire. Went to see Fleetwood Mac there too. That time, we knew where Bingley Hall was! 😌
Those were still real artists. Real guitar virtuosos, where nothing was artificial or generated via computer. The guys were gods with their guitars. I was allowed to experience that. Thank God!!!!
With lyrics tense with a Springsteen-ish drama and multiple hooks - the legendary riff, the fist-punching chorus, the twin guitar solo from Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham to the chorus -fe with the smell of summer lawns and the memories of beach parties.

I’m 16 and my dad is 58 telling about the 70s 80s and I love Phil and and thin lizzy love all 70s 80s music makes me upset knowing people of that generation can’t go back but I would love to have lived back in the good oul days

I love this song and the way I came across this band is unbelievable. In 1980 I went to Tchekoslovakia where my Italian uncle lived with his family. Their son had cassettes of Thin Lizzy, among other heavy metal bands from the Western Countries , like Van Halen, Led Zeppelin etc. Thin Lizzy was probably my favourite. Every time I listen to them I go back in time and in Tchekoslovakia !!😊

I was a kid when this was out but it defo left a mark on the soundtrack of my youth. I never realised back then that 'The Boys' were a group of Manchester gangsters called the 'Quality Street Gang'. In fact i'm pretty sure that Phil Lynott references them in a few of his other songs. I love it when you find out a song you love has a crazy story to it.
Just watched a documentary on UA-cam about the quality street gang and you are right they mention them in a few songs. This song is about when they walked into a pub that Phil Lynott's mother ran and when the gang walked into the pub his mother said the boys are back in town. Also Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed is another song they are mention in
Spot on. "Dino's" Bar & Grill is mentioned in Jimmy the Weed's book. They were also regulars at Phil Lynott's mum's hotel in Whalley Range. My old fella's cousin, Jimmy Riley, was one of the group, sadly both my old fella and his cousin passed away in the last 2/3 years.
As a half black kid that grew up in Ireland I got called Phil lynott by many older people. I'm 32 now. And listening to this fills my eyes with nostalgic tears. Rip

00:28 it's chord changes like that that creates a certain tension which pretty much devides the average songs from the great ones, very smart and musical. +In Thin Lizzy's case the dual guitar solos are a similar factor as well, those 2 qualities are what made them one of the greats.
now every song had those kinds of chord changes. kinda sad how overused it is now
The singer-songwriter on the bass is a genious - I didn't need the two guys with "good hair" IMHO
the song has one jazz-fusion verse, and an hard rock verse with 3 sharp chord changes. The studio version is a bit sedated, late live version are explosive.

Lyrics
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she got
When I say she was cool she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town
Just spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
The boys are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again
This was pure class.

I wonder if musicians from civilizations on other planets can compete with this song.
I was a kid when this was out but it defo left a mark on the soundtrack of my youth. I never realised back then that 'The Boys' were a group of Manchester gangsters called the 'Quality Street Gang'. In fact i'm pretty sure that Phil Lynott references them in a few of his other songs. I love it when you find out a song you love has a crazy story to it.
Just watched a documentary on UA-cam about the quality street gang and you are right they mention them in a few songs. This song is about when they walked into a pub that Phil Lynott's mother ran and when the gang walked into the pub his mother said the boys are back in town. Also Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed is another song they are mention in
Spot on. "Dino's" Bar & Grill is mentioned in Jimmy the Weed's book. They were also regulars at Phil Lynott's mum's hotel in Whalley Range. My old fella's cousin, Jimmy Riley, was one of the group, sadly both my old fella and his cousin passed away in the last 2/3 years.
Just noticed how many scenarios this song is perfect for
