It's impossible to believe that these two icons of rock have now passed away its heartbreaking to think we can never see or hear them again RIP guys thank god you left a lot of treasure behind
Phil was a true gent despite the hard rocker image . He let Meat Head take centre stage and have his Archie Bunker did moment . Confident in his own gifts strong personality and god give charisma .
Very interesting video, at least the presenters didn't look down on Phil as a worthless junkie. I hated that TV AM clock, it told me when to leave the house for work
Two larger than life figures. We had Meatloaf around a bit longer, had a great performance in a great movie in Fight Club. I think Phil took his career slump a bit too hard and considered himself lost; which is horrifyingly sad. I think he would've had a major comeback at some point.
It reminds me they say van gogh never sold a painting while he was alive. I find that difficult to believe because he also painted 71 paintings in 71 days. But the point being they are treasured after they are gone, more than while they were alive😅
@@glitch-pr3nr I think a lot of this is thanks to the internet. Thin Lizzy was an exceptionally great band and this has become more obvious with hindsight.
@@glitch-pr3nr while I appreciate the sentiment, I think Thin Lizzy were quite successful and influential in their day. I fully agree that a big comeback was just waiting around the corner for Phil, he was just that good and charismatic.
Meatloaf has never been heavy rock as you say he is its more like rock meets opera, but phil and Thin lizzy are. There not even in the same class, dont play the same style. Thin lizzy is far supreme to meatloaf.
R.I.P. these fine gentlemen, along with the other musician mentioned Gary Moore. I have only seen one of these guys live (it was The Gary Moore Band in 1973, a great back up band to Curved Air!)
It was just a shadow of Phil in that interview, he was labored in his responses - not the jokie Phil we all loved and remembered! You hear him talking about Ireland at the end, he DID loved Dublin, but the drugs took such a hold on him, that he once said "that he doesn't love Dublin anymore", and hence the song "Old Town" reflects his love letter to Dublin!
Meat was Great I hated him in high school because they played the shit out of that album.Jim Steinman producer.The interviewer was lucky to have both Those Guys on at the same time
@@LPManic I could understand a slip if they hadn't been announcing the death of Phil Lynott whilst showing footage of him talking about the troubles in NI. That's a slip on the part of a lot of people and not just the announcer.
RIP Meat Loaf (September 27, 1947 - January 20, 2022), aged 74 And RIP Phil Lynott (August 20, 1949 - January 4, 1986), aged 36 You both will be remembered as legends.
I had a college roommate that used to say the same thing - but he was wrong. the song Bat out of hell is loud and heavy with wailing guitars and screaming lyrics. In 1980 pop rock I think would have been stuff like the monkees, turtles, early beatles and stones. I like and listen to floyd, zepplin, deep purple, vanilla fudge, etc and I never found any of them Heavier than Meat and none of the vocals screamed more powerful than Meat. Are there heavier bands now ? Sure, but when this was filmed Metallica were 10 year old kids.
@@instructionaldesigner7310 he was wrong? He was bang on the mark. Meatloaf were a pop band at best. As for Bat Out of Hell being heavy? Have a word with yourself. They were pop, with little forays in to pop rock once in a while. If Meatloaf were heavy rock, then Journey are a Death Metal band. 😂
@@petermcallister8489 Pete I think its hard for people that weren't around in78 to understand. But trust me in 1978 pop rock was stuff like 60s music like Herman's Hermits, Beach Boys, etc or Disco like BeeGees or soft rock like Seals and Crofts. Bat and Journey in 78 were very heavy, high powered vocals and screaming guitars. in the late 70s and early 80s what would you consider heavy rock ? Please don't list 90s metal bands (they weren't on the scene at the time of this video) and if you list Pink Floyd I would counter that, although good music, they had a heavy organ feel like roller rink music and their most famous song had kids voices. I bring that up because my college friend that didn't consider meat heavy enough loved Floyd. Probably the biggest test for Pop music vs other forms in the late 70s, is that no pop radio station would ever play a song that was more than 4 minutes long.
@@instructionaldesigner7310 Journey are hard rock band and some there Perry era recordings were bordering on heavy metal. They were definitely heavier in their first three albums, in fact they were proto prog metal. But this side of the Atlantic, Meatloaf were considered pop rock even then. So I have a different understanding to you of Meatloaf's musical classification. And it's Peter, not Pete.
why? cos he sometimes has big band with keyboards dominating? well, dig deeper. he has more skills n voice than half of "heavy rock" singers. bu if your understanding of music is limited so much, nvm n dont bother. who are you to say what band is which genre anyway? lol. also hardly anyone cares about your opinion anyway...
@@stephensmith4480 in my own personal experience as a musician, artists love dope because it doesn't screw up your ability to play like a heavy dose of booze does and it takes away any and all anxieties about making something good in the studio or putting on a good show or this or that and let's you really focus on the moment, if it wasn't so beneficial to art artists wouldn't take it, but whatever it gives you will never be worth what it takes, the effect on you, your family, your friends, its something im still struggling with, but at least I'm still alive to struggle unlike other Chicago musicians who have died from it.
@@therecordholder A lot of truth in what you say Jake. Stuff like that ends up controlling your life and in some cases, ending it too as you fully know by the sound of it my friend. I hope you are still on the road to recovery and doing well for yourself. Best wishes to you Jake, from Liverpool UK.
Wasn't no fan of MEATLOAF AT ALL....... I don't think LED ZEPPELIN or Pink FLOYD give a flying shit what meat loaf think about his opinions lol........
please put your crack pipe down and use what you learned in 5th grade grammar - "Wasn't no .... "is a double negative, which means a positive. So please edit your comment to say you are a huge MeatLoaf fan - which is probably what you meant to say, as there isn't a person over 35 on the planet that doesn't know Paradise by the dashboard lights, or 2 out of 3, or anything for love. :)
@@donjohn2695 I'm not sure I understand what would be a joke ? He overcame huge obstacles to become one of the greatest selling artists of all time. Equal or maybe more than Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles Meat had to overcome 1) he was fat 2) ugly 3) his name was Marvin 4) he was obese 5) he didn't play an instrument 6) he didn't write songs 7) he was heavy set 8) he was poor 9) didn't go to college 10) he was fat in the late 70s and 80s pretty boys were the front men for bands. Meat's fame is probably one of the greatest achievements in music. If you are blind and don't know the difference between Meat and Bon Jovi I apologize but trust me he was at his most fame when the USA was all about thin and pretty

There still with us in the way they wanted to be. Especially Philo.
❤❤❤💔💔💔
Phil was a good man. I wish he'd stuck around with us a little longer and had fun making his music.
The best rocker to ever come outta Ireland 🇮🇪.
Gone but never forgotten.

God bless you Phil rest in peace forever missed forever loved forever young 🌹
Amen to that Trevor 🙏🎸
R.I.P. Phil Lynott Rest In Peace 🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹😇🙏🕊🎸💐🌺🌸🌼
RIP to both of these thoroughly decent lads, as a native of Ireland bless Philo, as Billy Connolly said, the greatest Irish man he ever knew.
RIP Mike Morris also (presenter with mustache). He died in 2012. Great presenter.
Meat Loaf will always be remembered for his rock opera music & his great sense of humour Such a lovely bloke
Where's phils love, thin lizzy were a power house rock band
And singing on Ted Nugent album
I have had 8 concussions so the volkswagon story gave me a headache too. And Phil looks like a pirate with an angels voice😅
Phil was a true gent despite the hard rocker image . He let Meat Head take centre stage and have his Archie Bunker did moment . Confident in his own gifts strong personality and god give charisma .
What a condescending speech.
Me too Brother Meat. I was Born wayyyyy to Late. as a 90s child, im watching my heroes pass now. Man there is a great band in heaven.
Both of them great personalities. Rock lovers keep them in their minds and hearts! ❤
Very interesting video, at least the presenters didn't look down on Phil as a worthless junkie. I hated that TV AM clock, it told me when to leave the house for work
Loved them both. Great to see them together, looking so young.

Indeed three icons sadly passed away. The Interviewer is Mike Morris popular UK TV News anchor and presenter, passed away in 2012 aged just 66.
well phil was lot younger than 66 lol.
Marvin era uma graça quando jovem e muito charmoso na idade madura...amor eterno.❤️🇧🇷

Pure Brilliance between these two behemoths 🎉😢
Phil looks like he was struggling here a pity to see
I imagine meat and phil are hanging out somewhere together once in a while gigging together.

Phil, Eric and Brian, Thin Lizzy formed in Dublin, Ireland.
The laugh on Meatloaf at 3:58... Class.
All artists must hurt themselves to be acceptable to change your current perceptions.
Phil was from Dublin, the Capitol of the Republic of Ireland and not Northern Ireland. Where did that idea come from?
I think it was just a slip when taking about the Phil and Gary Moore song. Gary Moore of course is the one from Northern Ireland.
@@LPManic I could understand a slip if they hadn't been announcing the death of Phil Lynott whilst showing footage of him talking about the troubles in NI. That's a slip on the part of a lot of people and not just the announcer.
It's so sad details don't matter he is dead,end off,RIP Phil❤
I remember that tv show
As addicts do they lie about the severity of their addiction, it's sad.
As long as you put a five syllable modifier in front of "addict" you're not an addict. 6:49
Ladies are making some strange faces here.
Оба классные.
Hate to say it---but Phil looks like Hell here---love the man--and his music
Phil defo in denial here, in the end couldn't find a place to put it, RIP ❤
RIP Meat Loaf (September 27, 1947 - January 20, 2022), aged 74
And
RIP Phil Lynott (August 20, 1949 - January 4, 1986), aged 36
You both will be remembered as legends.

39 years ago to the day. RIP both legends.
His roots were in south Dublin.... presenter is wrong
They’re both high af 😂
Just great
