RIP Phil Lynott (August 20, 1949 - January 4, 1986), aged 36 And RIP Gary Moore (April 4, 1952 - February 6, 2011), aged 58 You both will be remembered as legends.
Breaks my heart that Phil passed away not long after this song came out. His later tracks and demos are so amazing and it's so sad that many were never officially released. I miss him every day. A true poet. His lyrics really touch the soul.
When you have minutes to spare listen to this Military Man and take note of the words that Phil wrote, it will stop you dead in your tracks. this totally brilliant man was a poet, storyteller, profit and adviser, I always feel sad when I see pictures or videos of Phill during the last 3 years of his life, he was sad, suffering and lost and it breaks my heart to see this from the man who helped millions of people all over this world with his and Thin Lizzy music but he was too strong headed to take advise and seek help, Saint Phil is now at peace in heaven and having the greatest time of his life rocking out with dear pall Gary also Rory Gallagher and many others. fere follow the words of PHIL LYNOTT Mama take a look at your boy, he's a military man. Papa take a look at your boy, he's crying. Papa take a look at your boy, he's a soldier. Mama take a look in his eyes, they're colder. Papa take a look at your boy, he's a military man. Mama take a look at your boy, he's dying. Papa take a look at your boy, he's fighting. Mama take a look at your boy, he's frightened. They have trained your boy to kill, and kill some day he will. They have trained your boy to die and ask no questions why. Papa take a look at your boy, take a look at your boy, take a look at your boy. He's a killer, yeah. Mama take a look at your boy, take a look at him now, take a look at your boy. He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama. Mama take a look at your boy, obey the order. Mama take a look at your boy, like a lamb to slaughter. They have trained your boy to kill, and kill some day he will. They have trained your boy to die and ask no questions why. One day I will write for you a lovesong, mother. As the children say: "I love you", please hold me. And you and I, we will live our life together. Until that day when we die, I will love you, mother. I will always love you. I am writing from this war. Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for. And have you seen my children? God bless them, kiss them, and tell them that I miss them. See I'm frightened in the dark, mama, mama. The blood is ankle deep. They have trained your boy to kill, and kill someday he will. They have trained your boy to die. Papa take a look at your boy, take a look at your boy, take a look at your boy. He's marching, he's a soldier. Oh mama, oh mama. He's on the street. He's marching to the backbeat.
Im curious to what advise you are hinting at ? Stop using drugs but stay in the rock business ? Come on, .. Phil was not in denial , he was an honest dude who even came clean about his ongoing drug abuse on TV media. He knew that his struggle would be a lifelong one and therefore also one doomed to fail. Some souls cannot be saved not by all the wisdom in the world. Hold him captive in a room with no access to the rest of the world for all eternity ? - We would have lost him either way. His story is a real sad one, but still I remember only the good in him: his cheer talent for songwriting and his commanding presence as frontman who rocks the bass in that genius band Thin Lizzy.
Hi @@RipperMatricus, I was not hinting at anything, I said what I know to be true. I do not ask anyone to agree with me, I know what I know and I say with I believe. I would also defend the greatness of this man who will be talked about with great fondness and about his many brilliant skills on hundreds of year time
@@jamesbradshaw3389 Yeah ! in 100 years we are both in heaven , no day to day chores anymore, just music - really just hoping that Phil is around and still involved in delivering the musical bliss - Peace Out
Phil struggling to breath. .eyes in the back of his head.but out there on stage with Gary. Phil's health in the gutter but still fighting. .his mate Gary giving him a helping hand back on the stage.excellent.
No doubt that Phil lynott was not in a good state of mind with addiction issues, but the music & lyrics just amazing. R.I.P both for all the best times you gave us .
The greatest Afro artist ever lived. Forget Hendrix, he was her 20 minutes. Sadly both theese masterpices are going home. But will never stop listen to their fantastic music. Mama take a look at your two Legends💙👊💙
It hurts so much Phil and Gary and are not here anymore. I love their collaborations and this is one of the deepest cuts of all. The breakdown is so beautiful, makes me cry! This is a love song from a long lost son to his mum. RIP Gary & Phil and Philomena. 🧡🤍💚
Sadly one of the last things these two worked on, everything they worked on was gold. Phil was the badass charismatic rockstar poet, his delivery was always authentic, never seemed forced, he lived and breathed the front man role, easily n of the best ever. In contrast, Gary was shy, a deep thinker, reserved until he put on that guitar, and then, very very few could match his fire and emotion. it oozed out of him, and you felt it in the audience, you willed him on closer to the edge, yet he was in full command, his playing is just pure precision, his style is meat and potatoes , less frills just big effortless riffs, thrills and licks but its on a level so far beyond the normal player it truly is a joy to behold. Between them they were so much more than the whole package, the world lost out on something truly special.
Magnifique chanson, avec Phil Lynnot remarquable, comme d habitude. Dommage qu' elle n est jamais été reprise dans les " lives "! Elle me donne des frissons chaque fois que je l écoute !
Une pensée plutôt une grande pensée voir un hommage à Mr Phil Lynott 🇨🇮 qui a bercé mon adolescence ainsi que pour Mr Gary Moore immense guitariste devant l'éternel 🙏merci Gary et Thin Lizzy pour tout 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am glad you found it now. Appreciate that u say it a masterpiece. Take a listen at the solo@2:25.. Such a beautiful solo. I've been listening to this solo@2:25 on countess times. What a beautiful solo..... Masterpiece in your speak.
Dude, so much of the 80s Gary Moore stuff and Thin Lizzy/Phil Lynott is ridiculously underrated and under appreciated. In my opinion Gary Moore is/was the best hard rock guitarist ever! Along with EVH, George Lynch and a few others.. and Phil Lynott one of the best bassist/frontman in rock history, if not the best. I’m only 32 but I’m very fortunate that my dad raised me with this good music.
@@saigonKT Gary's playing was always beyond words. His bends and vibrato were always effortlessly in tune & his playing was so expressively timed - more than about anyone I can think of who could also play fast. God bless all their souls.
@@jesussaddle yup that the beauty of Gary Moore style . finesse but can shred if needed. Wow.....What a hero in my book. But wish I have seen Gary live in the US before his sudden death.
Phil Lynott quite simply a fantastic musician and like so many Rockers who I grew up with sadly lost way too soon Cozy Powell Dio Lemmy Rory Gallagher Eddie Van Halen etc..... Thin Lizzy influenced so many bands
Phil is the only one who could sing corny (for lack of a better word) lyrics about his mother and not make me cringe. Phil was a one-off for me. I can't imagine ever obsessing over another rocker like I've done with Lynott and Lizzy. He's the complete package to me.
yeah;;;hurts to see my hero in that shape….the last piece of magic he left us...when he and Gary colaborate there was Always something very special happening Rest in peace my dear lord...rest in piece my favorite guitarmagicman !
This must be my favorite version of this song. I'm really into it and I typically don't listen to this one, but I think I like it better than OITF now..
One of the best songs ever. But I am sure this is the studio track very skillfully put over the live video footage. Why? Admittedly the live sound has a bit less depth, but it is a very competent piece of recording; and features an alternative "shredding away" end.
The No Go question ....the question where's No answer to.....WHY. when i die i never saw my grandchild before . Pain pain , and the craziest question ever ...WHY and they broke your heart and than your wings
RIP Phil Lynott (August 20, 1949 - January 4, 1986), aged 36
And
RIP Gary Moore (April 4, 1952 - February 6, 2011), aged 58
You both will be remembered as legends.
RIP PHIL AND GARY
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
One of my favourite anti-war songs. Done by one of my favourite singer and guitarrist. Great work.
I fully agree with you
Me too..just sensational.
RIP Phil and Gary.
Australia ❤️
These 2 are down in my book as true legends. They always give me goosebumps 👍
Gary's guitar solo in the middle is absolutely HEAVENLY. Phil (R.I.P.) we all miss you more than ever. Those were the times......no doubt.
Agree.Probably the heart of this song.been listening to that solo countless times.
Not live though.
Breaks my heart that Phil passed away not long after this song came out. His later tracks and demos are so amazing and it's so sad that many were never officially released. I miss him every day. A true poet. His lyrics really touch the soul.
Feel so lucky that we can go back to all the Thin Lizzy, some of the best rock ever made. Missing these guys in this world, we need them.

Come on, .. Phil was not in denial , he was an honest dude who even came clean about his ongoing drug abuse on TV media. He knew that his struggle would be a lifelong one and therefore also one doomed to fail. Some souls cannot be saved not by all the wisdom in the world. Hold him captive in a room with no access to the rest of the world for all eternity ? - We would have lost him either way.

Legends never die ! We just miss them more !
That is the best, very well said
Phil struggling to breath. .eyes in the back of his head.but out there on stage with Gary. Phil's health in the gutter but still fighting. .his mate Gary giving him a helping hand back on the stage.excellent.
Both legends, sadly missed :'(
They really bounced off each other , they were the perfect pairing, great artists .
2024 and still love this song used to love playing this as a kid omg long time ago lol 😎
No doubt that Phil lynott was not in a good state of mind with addiction issues, but the music & lyrics just amazing. R.I.P both for all the best times you gave us .
Actually when I watch Gary perform this in live videos it makes me want to cry.
The Most Incredible Song By The Most Incredible Combo!!!
R.I.P Phil Lynnot & Gary Moore 1986
The greatest Afro artist ever lived. Forget Hendrix, he was her 20 minutes.
Sadly both theese masterpices are going home. But will never stop listen to their fantastic music.
Mama take a look at your two Legends💙👊💙
First time I'm hearing this song. Brilliant.
When I listened this piece, I had the same reaction !! AMAZING!! ... In Colombia we say "QUE CHIMBA" !! jajaja Greetings!!
Great album
Written by Phil.
The greatest one,two punch in rock n roll
Phil fighting for life. Sad to see this hardship🕯😥😥R.I.P. PHIL❤️
I love it towards the end when they both look at each other nod and tear in to the last riffs!!
It hurts so much Phil and Gary and are not here anymore. I love their collaborations and this is one of the deepest cuts of all. The breakdown is so beautiful, makes me cry! This is a love song from a long lost son to his mum. RIP Gary & Phil and Philomena. 🧡🤍💚

This is the studio recording overdubbed. It is not live.
He's looking like young Andrew Makarevich from 'Time Machine '.
I don't think people outside Russia and Ukraine know about him
@@leyla.007 maybe they will have interest to know who is he
Desert Storm
Uh, no. This was 6 years before Desert Storm.
Ce solo
We need Dakota Walker now 🙏🙏🙏.
This is not played live, or it's badly filmed..? Mark Jennings, can you shed any light on this..? Thanks Griff

God took him too early,lets make a trade we give you all of One direction or Katy Perry for Phil. And on the way back he get to ...........her....lol
