      Incidentally, most people wouldn't know who Phil was either. I mean, the band had a couple of hits, which DID make them a "2-3 hit wonder" but, other than that, it's not like they made world headlines on their abilities.

    Good observation, girl! Phil Lynott was totally unique. A black irishman with 3 books of poetry to his name. His phrasing is just fantastic, and he often got more in common with Frank Sinatra and other crooners than his hard rock colleagues. As lyrics goes, he goes way beyond every body else in the hard rock world. He is up there with Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and the best of them. Thin Lizzy were huge in Europe and Asia, Australia etc, but never really cracked america. Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy have inspired everybody from Metallica to Def Leppard, U2, Smashin Pumpkins and beyond. Sadly we lost Phil in 1986. Drugs got the better of him. There is a statue of him erected in Irelands capitol Dublin. Not many rock stars get that. Speaks volumes.

    1976. My best friend and I had just graduated high school, and decided to take a trip. We hitchhiked from Breckenridge, MN to Colorado Springs, hung out there for a week with a friend of my older brother. Total time on the trip between hitchhiking and partying along the way was one day short of 3 weeks when we caught our last ride of about 20 miles to get back to my friend's home town. We were sitting in the back seat of a station wagon, the radio was playing, and just as we entered the outskirts of town, this song came on the radio. We spontaneously turned and hgh-fived. "Oh, yeah! The Boys are Back! Barn dance tonight!" It was, after all, time for the summertime weekly dance at Vagt's Barn. : )

    These boys are from my home country, Brad & Lex....& this was one of many classics; they had a distinct guitar sound - like a fingerprint - totally distinctive; you can recognise a 'Lizzy song from the opening chords. Phil Lynott was my main motivation to play bass. I would recommend, 'Roisin Dubh' (Black Rose) - a potted history of Ireland's greatest Literary & Musical giants, & by the by, one of Lynott's greatest heroes was Elvis, amongst others, hence his singing style, Lex.....It really doesn't get much better than this. Good call !!

      My brother and I jammed on Thin Lizzy incessantly from 76 on. There are some really great songs. This album was their big hit in America. THEY'RE FROM IRELAND Imo the best Irish band not U2. The bassist is the vocalist and primary lyricist. Born out of wedlock, half Irish, half African raised in Catholic Ireland in the 50's and 60's. He is one of my heroes. Three albums stand out for me because they're the ones with some good rockers. The first few albums were a little folky. They are "Jailbreak", "Bad Reputation", "Black Ros'e: A rock Legend." "Renegade" is badass. One song from Renegade got good radio play. All in all a fantastic band.

    Now Thin Lizzy are a seriously brilliant band! Not only were they a great studio band they were amazing live too. In fact they made the second best live album of all time 'Live And Dangerous', coming in just behind Deep Purple's 'Made In Japan'. I suggest any of the following 'Emerald', 'Jailbreak', 'Are You Ready', 'Don't Believe A Word', 'Dancing In The Moonlight', 'Bad Reputation', 'The Cowboy Song' and 'Whiskey In The Jar' and a whole load more. They were far from one hot wonders. From the mid 70s to the early 80s they were a seriously massive band worldwide.

    Phil Lynot is a Black Irish artist bassist and singer/song writer from the Band Thin Lizzy. The band was a hard rock band formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1969. Their music reflects a wide range of influences, including blues, soul music, psychedelic rock, and traditional Irish folk music, but is generally classified as hard rock or sometimes heavy metal. RIP Phil Lynot you are a Legend….

    I knew Phil, he was a really sweet guy. He got preyed on by people who took advantage of his vulnerability - pushing drugs on him. I stayed at his house in Kew many times. When his wife, Caroline, left him it really broke him. He loved his two girls so much and really missed them. Phil phoned me at work all the time wanting me to go over because he was lonely. I had to move away and we lost touch. I was devastated to hear of his death. RIP Phil.

    Phil Lynott (RIP) was a black bass playing Irishman. There is a statute to him in Dublin Ireland. He's a national hero. Philip Parris Lynott (20 August 1949 - 4 January 1986) was an Irish singer, musician, and songwriter. His most commercially successful group was Thin Lizzy, of which he was a founding member, the principal songwriter, lead vocalist and bassist. He was known for his imaginative lyrical contributions including working class tales and numerous characters drawn from personal influences and Celtic culture.
    Lynott was born in the West Midlands of England, but grew up in Dublin with his grandparents.

    I loved Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy of course, when I was a young man. He was a big idol of mine and a inspiration for me. Great that you like him too. Lizzy made so many cool songs. The double guitarplay was a trademark, the drummer had a real special jazzy swing to the Hard Rock style. But Lynnot was my star. His voice and that he played the bass and sang and looked so unbelievable cool. I think you would enjoy songs like Johhny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed, Got to give it up and China Town but also some of the songs he did late in his career as a solo artist. Kings Call about the death of Elvis maybe the very best. Mark Knofler from Dire Straits play on that track, its GREAT, a classic. Also the title track from that album, Solo in Soho is worth to mention. Love your channel. Keep it up. Much love from Berlin, Germany.

They had dozens of great songs, bundles of hits, and they would blow your mind in a live show. Thin Lizzy did all the same things in reverse. They had dozens of hits in europe, but in the US their only two hits were jailbreak and The boys are back in Town. Their live performances have to be seen. Their whole catalog is just the coolest.

    Lead singer Phil Lynott's Mother, Philomena, ran a club/bar in Manchester where the "Quality Street Gang" would often drink. They were a criminal gang and were called 'Quality Street' because they always 'dressed to kill". They often had to lie low, and when they came back "the boys were back in town". Phil watched these guys as he grew up, and then wrote the song about them. Deno's was a real club in Manchester.

    From the 1976 album "Jailbreak", thin lizzy was an Irish hard rock band with Phil Lynott (bass, vocals) and guitarist Gary Moore at the core. Both died way too early, Lynott in January 1986 from a drugs related pneumonia and Moore in February 2011 (heart attack). Saw them both live a couple of times, together and seperately, during the eighties.

      Have to correct you there a little. Gary Moore was a member of Thin Lizzy three times, always very briefly, and the only actual album he made with them was "Black Rose" in 1979. "Jailbreak" was their third album - sixth overall - with their classic lineup of Lynott, drummer Brian Downey and guitarists Scott Gorham (an American) and Brian Robertson (a Scotsman). Gorham stayed in the band to the end in 1983, and so did Downey - the latter was also, like Lynott, a founding member.

    One of the few internationaliy famous Irish rock bands. The singer/writer/bassist takes that rarity further by being black.

Phil's ( The singer /Songwriter) Mum ran a infamous Nightclub in Manchester in the North of England, and it was frequented by a Manchester Gang ( The Quality Street Gang - the gangs leader ' Jimmy 'The Weed ' Donnelly is named in the title of the bands 2nd album.) The Gang would 'Winter ' in Spain and return in late Spring so the boys being back in town meant the start of summer, and meantiond in the song Dino's is probably Deno's a Nightclub the Gang hangout at.

    Best part of this song is right after the chorus. The guitars stay on the same chord for two measures, playing their harmonizing riffs, but the bass actually moves up after only one measure, and it creates this lifting dissonance. It’s hard to describe, but so small a thing brings so much to the song.
