#metallica #thinlizzy #borderline
Justin trying to not wake his parents (whilsy slowly raising his voice) and play guitar is the funniest thing to me. Idky
Who wanted to see Justin’s mom come out and yell at him to “be quiet” while singing Madonna?!! 😂😂😂🙋🏻♀️😜
I loved him singing Madonna, btw… my inner “10 year old self” was very happy about that. 😂❤️🤘🏻
Me! 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
@@benjamindavis4974 Right. He said that multiple times.
Y’all, just the part where he was singing Madonna in the video……... I know it’s a Thin Lizzy song.😂😂😂🙄
Hahaha I thought exactly the same 😂
This whold album by Thin Lizzy is criminally underated. Johnny the Fox. Check it out. Every song is a jam. Way overlooked because it was released really close to Jailbreak.
RIP Phil Lynott, who died on this day in 1986 age 36. Never forgotten.🖤
James' voice is brilliant in both the heavier, gritty tones and the more clean, warm and soulful tones. Part of why I love the Load and Reload albums from '96 and '97
I love the " Bark " of a young James ( kill em all to Justice) but yeah, he really hit a vocal peak from 91 to 99.
He really pushed himself on the " loads " and they have aged VERY well even though I hated it at the time being a Metallica ' True ". Now I love them .
@@andysalter7192 Yeah, I get why people at the time of the Load albums didn't like them because the overall sound was so different. As it was when I first started listening to those albums I only used to listen to the singles from them until I finally gave the whole albums a proper listen through and realised the whole lot are absolutely solid! Plus the fact James had started to use proper vocal exercises and warm ups after the Black album which made his voice on Load and Reload so much more resonant and with more control over the ranges
@@sporadicamnesic I remember going to a bar in around 2008 and seeing a pretty cute girl at the Bar and noticed she had the Ninja Star logo Tattoed on her arm and being a bit drunk I ran over all excited to talk Metallica, we started chatting and I am like " How good is Blackened, I love the production of Justice , it's not as " warm" sounding as Puppets but it captures the feel of the album title etc ...." She looked at me blankly at said " I haven't heard those albums...." Of course I was like ' But...but you have a Metallica Tattoo !!??"she then explained her love for Metallica was the Load era , she had not heard one song from the first 4 albums.
So yeah I get those albums are special to those who jumped on the train in that era and they hold up.
@@andysalter7192 Thankfully I heard their previous albums before Load and Reload which is why the difference in sound stood out for me and now they're the two albums I actually listen to the most, especially when driving
Sorry to break up this love fest. But for me Metallica totally lost their way in the 90's. Didn't remember who they were until Death Magnetic. Just a perspective from an old man fan. I think they are the absolute GOAT in metal
Phil Lynott is my favorite artist of all-time! He’s sadly missed.
Metallica are my favourite band of all time hands down and have been since 1989 but it's insane that Thin Lizzy are not worshipped in the same way Zeppelin, Sabbath, Queen etc are !
Phil Lynott was one of the greatest songwriters of all time and perhaps the greatest lyricist in Rock.
If you have not jumped on the Thin Lizzy train then please check em out! You will not be disappointed.
I love Metallica. They're at the point now that they've reached the 'f*ck it 'stage of their career where they feel comfortable enough to do what they like and everyone else can just deal with it. I, for one, am absolutely loving it.
Agreed! James Hetfield and I were born the same day of the same year. I have also reached that f' it stage. It's liberating and phenomenal!
following our instinct not a trend
go against the grain until the end
they've been there for a while
They've always been about making what they like to listen to.
Honestly if you listen to the in depth interviews and know about the history behind the history so to say, then you come to realize they’ve done that their whole career.
Give “ garage inc” from 1996 a listen, it’s the album that really turned me onto Metallica, double album, all covers. From a Black Sabbath medley to a a rendition of Lynrd Skynrd’s “ Tuesdays Gone” that even just thinking about, moves to this day, almost 30 years later.
We are incredibly lucky to have these guys still doing their thing.
One of my favourite Thin Lizzy songs, co written by Lynott and Brian Robertson. Anyone who's seen Dan Hawkins should know the name of Thin Lizzy at least ;)
I think James does need to make an acoustic album. I love how Justin tries to keep quiet lol….fantastic as always
The most important thing about this superb cover is that everyone appreciates just how magnificent Thin Lizzy were :)
I first heard Phil Lynott on my Father's album of Jeff Wayne's 'War Of The Worlds'. Hearing that voice, both spoken and sung, was like a spiritual awakening. I was 8.
Did it have the accompanying picture book?
You doing a quiet video so as to not wake your parents is just adorable! And a testament to your committment to you channel. With that, as always, I say Thank you. I loved Thin Lizzy when I was a kid and I was obsessed with Phil Lynott's amazing hair and earring. I also love Madonna, so get in there an do Borderline! YES! SSSSHHHHHHHHHH....(whispering) - another great video, Justin....
Well said. I always liked Thin Lizzy, too.
Thin Lizzy is one of my favorite bands of all time.
You are blessed to still have both your parents 🎸 on 🤙
2022 was the year i fell in love with Justin and his show, and i can't wait to hear what's to come. So fucking watchable and so fucking likeable. Thanks man!
Thin Lizzy are my favourite band. Seeing Dan wearing a Lizzy T Shirt in Kerrang magazine is what made me want to listen to The Darkness.
You're so lucky to still have yer mom and dad lost mine at 23 and couldn't even imagine the joy of knowing them still into my later years, you've got it all, right now in your life bro, enjoy!!!!
HE said everything we all felt about about Metallica and Thin Lizzy! Justin I wanna jam Thin Lizzy riffs with you and rock! Cheers!
An appropriate cover to review on the anniversary of Phil Lynott’s passing. How can it be 37 years already? 😢
I'm new to your refreshing views Justin. As a bass player I love your knowledge of 7ths/9ths etc and the way you dissect the song to show what the artist does to their track. Keep it up chum.
I’ve had this on repeat since it came out. This is some beautiful work from James and crew.
Bringing together two of my favourite things (3including you Justin), Thin Lizzy and Metallica. Inspired ❤
They also covered UFO's "It's Killing Me" during this show. If you liked this one you should definitely check the other one, too. Btw, have you ever thought about doing some kind video reaction of your viewers' music? For example once a month or during some kind of live stream? I thought it would be great as a starting musician just realising how hard it is to get any recognition this time. Just an idea. Love your channel, you're a great guy and musician, I got to know the Darkness because of this channel! Looking forward to see you live someday in Poland!
whats great about this video and alot of others is how awesome of a teacher justin is and how well he conveys his knowledge. Love it :)
This was a brilliant cover. When he says at the end, "Thanks for writing this song about my life", that really hit me. I thought I heard some personal emotions seeping into the words, even though he didn't write them.
That jacket is FANTASTIC!
Thank you for covering my favourite band, TL. Regards from Australia.
Thanks for this, I saw this the other day and thought it was really special aswell!
Metallica covering obscure “deep” tracks by Thin Lizzy and UFO (on the same show they did “It’s Killing Me” from the wonderful “The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent” album) was so exciting - and gratifying - for us old geezers who are hooked on those classic hard rock bands !
Cheers to you, too, for making this video !
P.S. Regarding the “correct” pronunciation of Phil Lynott’s surname, once in Dublin I asked the locals and they pronounce it “Lainot”
" JUSTIN, WOULD YOU PUT THAT GUITAR DOWN WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP! ".... I was so waiting for it damn it😀
I've never been a Metallica fan, but I do appreciate that they sincerely love Thin Lizzy, and this is a good faithful cover. Phil Lynott is irreplaceable though. It is a fun song to just pick up an acoustic guitar and strum through. That anchored D is a very Jimmy Page thing as well, so it's not just for singer/songwriters, and you hear it in Brian May and Alex Lifeson. G, C, D, A progressions.
Thin Lizzy are absolutely one of the most under rated bands ever. Phil Lynott' (it is Lie-not) was such a great songwriter and Borderline is yet another. I really enjoyed this cover, James kept it a bit understated like the original and the guitar solos are not messed with. Thoroughly enjoyable, thanks for the review!
Dear Justin, your BBC NYE performance with Sam Ryder was great! This year, I'll be needing a whole lot of inspiring content, so I hope you'll be releasing much of it. Thanking you
Justin was the best thing on that show, proper rock star. The show, I thought was a bit cheesy
Just the right type of cheese. With a main helping of Darkness cheese climax. It was great!
Omg if UA-cam existed in 1990, this is what every JHRA video would be like, with the occasional appearance by Dan coming in to reclaim Dad’s guitar (which, btw, is seriously lacking in internal plectra).
Thin Lizzy and The Darkness are my 2 favorite bands. So happy to see Metallica cover a "deep track" from Lizzy.
Kirk is playing a Fender acoustisonic, they almost feel and play like an electric guitar and have several distinct voicings you can select with a switch, both acoustic and electric tones.
Pretty sweet acoustic guitar for a lead guitar player.
His vocal "ticks" are out of control now. Beautiful song...
Kirk is playing (visually customised) a Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster. They're sweet guitars (existing also in Telecaster and Stratocaster body shapes), very good for quieter acoustic on-the-couch strumming, but they really shine when plugged in as they combine what are essentially Fishman Aura guitar emulations (based on impulse responses) of various dreadnought and smaller guitars in a variety of wood combinations, as they sound almost as good as the real thing mic'd up without feedback issues, excellent for live and more than acceptable for the recording of only guitar demos or even, if need be, proper releasable tracks when they're in the mix with other sounds. And then there's the Tim Shaw noiseless pickup (a humbucker in the Jazzmaster and single coils in the other two models) for quick switching to electric. Perfect for precisely this kind of live use, as travel guitars and much more. Some other famous players have also adopted them, like Sting and Jack White.
Loving the outfit, hair is looking good too 😊
James is a good singer and his guitar play fits many other genres. He should do some more stuff like this.
And once again Justin proving when it comes to music he is way more than just Tattoos, hair and a voice wow.
Two minutes in, and I'm really hoping to see Justin be told off by his parents.
Alas ...
Whiskey in a jarrrr-o! Thin Lizzy was one of the best bands to have come out of the 70s. I'm glad I'm old enough to remember them, as I used to steal all of my brother's TL records. Live and Dangerous will always remind me of my childhood.
But what the hell is masharing dama doo damma da!!?
@@revwillyg6450 Irish. Duh.
the guitar Kirk is playing is the fender Acoustasonic jazz master, they make a Strat version and a Telecaster version which Francis Rossi plays. they are ( I think ) mainly solidbody
Congratulations on an AMAZING performance with Sam Ryder on New Years! It was nothing less than EPIC!
I’ve always loved Metallica because of there ability to do acoustic music as well as the heavy stuff. There whiskey in the jar cover is stunning as well.
Sounding so lovely in voice and guitar playing. Mostly a nice lullaby for your parents, I'd say. 🤗
Today is the anniversary of Phil Lynott's death - great to find this now. Hope Ma slept soundly but listened later. Also: Whiskey in the Jar is a brilliant rendition by Thin Lizzy. Do have a listen.
....Ah, what? He implied that. Did you have the volume on? Metallica has done entire cover albums so that's definitely not what he meant.
Gone but never forgotten.
I'm so glad this channel gained traction so quickly. Been riding along from the beginning. As Steven Tyler would sing "WALK-A-COWWWWW!"
Kirk is playing a Fender Acoustasonic guitar. They look amazing. They make them with Strat to Jazzmaster shapes. Very groovy.
One of my favorite Lizzy songs off of probably my favorite album of theirs. Love it.
Love your videos 🫶🏼
I am in my 40s and have been listening to The Doors since my early 20s. Would live you to do a video on it.
I hadn’t paid attention to how versatile is the Fender acoustasonic! 😮
The Manics actually covered Madonna's Borderline on their recent tour. I was Not expecting that.
Hello Justin would you like to review an "indian folk metal" band Bloodywood with terrific mix of instruments and vocals. I recommend the song "Dana Dan" its mindblowing besides the album is outstanding. Cheers.
James's cover OF Eddie Money's "Baby Hold on" is great too!
"He hasn't got the lion's roar" instantly reminds me that James looks like the Lion from original Wizard of Oz
Really great. I enjoyed this one hugely, thanks for the heads up! Whisky In The Jar is a bona fide trad Irish folk song, I assure you. Thin Lizzie is a MUST for EVERYONE. Phil Lynnot's early death was a real tragedy. Snowy White (that Les Paul will look familiar to some) did some amazing work with this brilliant band. No wish to appear pedantic, but that chord is Cmaj9, as the 7th degree of the scale, whether you call it Gmajor (Ionian), Eminor (Aolian) or whatever, is the maj7, B natural, all chords in the progression (I don't like "chord sequence", as, in the context, a sequence is a particular type of progression. Sorry sorry sorry sorry I HATE myself when I get theoretical. Keep rocking, and congrats on not waking up the parental element! 🌟👍
Gnome-like Irish pop manager, Louis Walsh would probably stand-up and say “I never liked that song, but YOU. MADE. IT. YOUR. OWN” and the sycophantic audience behind him would cheer and whoop.
I enjoy these videos much more than all of those vocal coach videos. Never have I seen so many voice professional miss every unavoidable popular songs ever created, and then let us see them listen to them for the first time and critique them.
MORE THIN LIZZY PLEASE
Thin Lizzy is without a doubt one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Love this song and your UA-cam!! Damon Johnson has an acoustic cover of this song and this is the only other band I’ve heard cover this song! Thank you for dissecting this song! You’re awesome! 👍👏💯
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnn 🎸🎶🎶🕺🏽
My day is 😁🎸complete now!
Justin, your dad’s guitar sounds great. I think I like it better than the one you normally use.
I thought Dan's was even nicer! Yeah, these borrowed family guitars are gorgeous.
I was thinking the same and would love to know what brand it is.
It sounds really great,nice bright tone.
I think it's a martin.
I think I preferred the Sotto Voce intro :D
Regarding Tyrone Albert's comment that was read at the start, it's worth noting that Kirk has said that Thin Lizzy is an inspiration for his soloing style, particularly the use of Wah-Wah.
Metallica just can’t do any wrong. This is a brilliant cover. I’m not a metal-head, so don’t go looking for their music, but I have never disliked anything I’ve heard from Metallica. They always seem like really great guys too, nothing but respect for them. 🥰
@@robbiepeterh Not even Metallica fans go looking for that
@@robbiepeterh I play Lulu on the jukebox when I'm leaving a bar for others to enjoy ;-)
@@brokenrobot02 And with "[Kotex] jukebox", the lyrics piled up like cars barreling into a wreck concealed by a deep fog on the interstate.
@@robbiepeterh NOT a Metallica album. It's Lou Reed
@@robbiepeterhthere are still people who don‘t get it. It is an experimental Lou Reed album with Metallica as his backing band. And yes, experimental albums like this are not for everybody. People expecting a Metallica album will be disappointed.
I think it's cool that Kirk is playing a Fender Acoustisonic guitar. I hear tons of youtubers put that line of guitars down and I think they're idiots for saying it sucks. I really love mine, it's a very useful tool in situations exactly like this where you need acoustic and electric and you're the only player who can do it. No switching to other guitars and it basically plays like an electric (with a light enough guage of strings on it...I use 10s).
You probably know now, but Kirk is playing a Fender Acoustasonic. You get them in Strat, Tele and Jazzmaster flavour.
ALL 👍UR the man and thxs for riding again Justin
From Prescott AZ
Justin your pronunciation of Phils surname is correct.. Whiskey in the jar is a traditional Irish song made famous notably by The Dubliners… Gary Moore, midge ure and many other great musicians played in Thin Lizzy.. also mark knopfler.. the biggest band to ever come from Ireland. Unfortunately his untimely death put halt to his greatness. Oh! He also narrated on War Of The Worlds, the album.. 11:10
Metallica’s version of Tuesday’s gone is magical 🎸 🧙♂️
That it is! I'm a big COC fan too, so I like Pepper's contribution on that one as well
Justin....I love the way you cover the theory part of the songs you are talking about. It truly helps me as a songwriter. I always add that 9th and I always thought I was being lazy. Many thanks. Keep these videos going
Please watch Alter bridge live at the royal Albert Hall. Performing Words darker than their wings. It’s my favourite live performance I have ever witnessed. Great videos and I hope you are doing well my friend.
Also for anyone out there that ever has the opportunity to meet Justin, he is one of the nicest guys in show business. I live near where he was from and used to run into him in a certain coffee chain. Had a really decent chat with him on one occasion and was just blown away.
Cowboy Song (live) by Thin Lizzy was my intro to their majesty x
I think Metallica are great lovers of this music. Still they are huge *fans* of this music. Look how diverse things can do ! This is what keeps them. That was an amazing cover and i feel James has an exceptional way of showing all kind of emotions by his singing. That making him even greater performer ! Remarkable for 41 years band still shinning !
Just as I think I can't love Justin and this channel any more, he references Lynn from Alan Partridge. Incredible.
And King's Lynn, birthplace of Roger Meddows-Taylor.
I learnt the Cadd9 thing way back when I was first starting to play guitar in the early 90s - one of the first songs I tried to learn was "I remember you" by Skid Row - they use that chord in the accoustic parts - and it's stuck with me ever since, to the extent that I virtually never play a regular ol' Cmaj any more! And there's an interesting connection with Jon Bon Jovi there too. Snake Sabo from Skid Row was Bon Jovi's original lead guitarist...so maybe it's more than just JH's vocals that sound like Bon Jovi...the Cadd9 might be reminiscent of them also!
Do you know how difficult it was to hear from you between the moment MTV started to suck and the invention of youtube and the Darkness going on hiatus??? While living in Mexico!!!
It is great to be able to see you every other day ...at the office, ha! Keep it going!!!
Another quality vid by Justin Hawkins! James did the most compelling version of Eddie Money's Baby Hold On to Me at the Eddie memorial. Check it out. Haunting and beautiful. Justin, please come back to Seattle. I discovered The Darkness and your channel crucial weeks after you came here on your 2022 tour stop. Ouch.
Love the music theory lessons in these videos.
Excellent choice. FYI- I love putting an actual ninth on a chord for piano / keys. I can reach a tenth and it adds a unique quality to my playing.
I just learnt to do a Cadd9 on piano by learning the intro to Close to You by the Carpenters.
Great guitar lesson Justin.
Hey Justin great video I got a suggestion for you to look on James Hetfield and that is his rendition of Eddie Money's Baby Hold On the performance is brilliant it's shows his true singing talent like this particular video does from Justin Harrison we share the same initial and first name also I love The Darkness and your awesome channel keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍
im sure James will be thrilled that people are comparing his voice to Bon Jovi.
Yes I remember the Donnington festival in 87 when he had " Kill Bon Jovi" written on his explorer!
Those days are LONG gone.
Thin Lizzy is just amazing!!
Great video & wonderful to see Thin Lizzy's legacy being kept alive by today's artists. P.S. it's Lie not as in why not!
Nutshell from Alice in Chains has that D anchor as well. I love those chords, super moody.
Listening to the hawkins Brothers I heard a thin lizzy influence. Seeing them live I really felt it. Such a good band and metallica did a solid cover here.
Absolutely love this channel
One of your best videos Justin. I appreciate the trouble you go to in delivering this! Metallica, Thin Lizzy and Madonna all in one video - yes, we can like all three equally! I wish were old enough to have seen the Queen Lizzy tour when Thin Lizzy toured with Queen. Yes, please do a video about Madonna’s Borderline. I love her early material.
As always....you get me straight onto the guitar and check it out. Best teacher.
(Typing quietly so as not to wake the Parents) I hope your Mum & Dad still get a hug or kiss from you before they retire for the night. How lovely. Thin Lizzy are simply gods. I have always called Phil Lynott (Line-ott not Linn-ott) Not sure of pronunciation either. This is a very good cover of a beautiful song.
Just love and enjoy how I get such tasty bread crumbs from your mind of musical knowledge ,.. thank you ❤️
Justin I thought you were brilliant on NYE with Sam Rider....another amazing video too.
Your channel is absolute gold, my friend. Roll on🤘
Not just music, but what a beautifully composed thumbnail!
The C9 to G9 setup that is also known as “Every Rose has a Thorn”. 🤣
And, always a joy to see Justin slip into “fan boy” mode when he talks about Metallica.
I thought of Madonna immediately, thinking to myself it wouldn't be totally weird since they covered Garbage "I'm only Happy When it Rains" and that was a very neat arrangement
