Whatever happened to those unearthed Lynott demos and outtakes? I thought a box set was imminent...

thin lizzy not even being considered for the rock and roll HOF means there is no rock and roll HOF.

I was always under the assumption they were in. Arent jackson browne and billy joel in? How is Thin Lizzy not?

no room for thin lizzy or love or war, room for james taylor and RHCP.

"Little Girl in Bloom" is such a jam. it seems lazy to compare that song to the groove of The Unforgettable Fire since both bands are Irish but "Little Girl in Bloom" invents that sound, & I'm guessing Bono et. al. knew it well

Oh man, I so envy you just getting into this band... Look forward to tons of jaw-dropping and holy-shitting as you explore their catalog...

Been into Thin Lizzy quite a lot over the last eighteen months or so. . .
Nightlife remains my favorite.
Bad Reputation a close second.

My two favorites for a long time have been "Fighting" and "Johnny the Fox" but there's hardly an album of theirs I don't absolutely love.

That pic was on the cover of Sounds, or maybe NME from 1977 or so. So classic.

I've seen it somewhere before, but it crossed my radar again today and felt it needed to be here.

"Downtown Sundown" is a beautiful tune.

i actually had an ecstatic reaction while listening to thin lizzy today. like a religious experience. i felt the blood rush into my brain and i honestly felt like i could die happy at that moment. i even said this to maria. that i could die happy right then and there. it was a very visceral and physical thing. powerful. right there in public at the store too.

Only fitting on Phil's birthday.

wow, really, is it? i had no idea. weird.

Very weird. Though that sounds like an amazing experience.

it was the guitars...they lifted me out of the world and it didn't seem like a bad place to be. so suddenly!

what about the kids?
― nostormo, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:19 (ten years ago) link
i was listening to Bad Reputation. but this didn't happen during "Dear Lord". that would have been appropriate. i think it was actually during "Opium Trail". its all a blur.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link
"what about the kids?"
there are feelings that go beyond mortal considerations. the kids would be sad if i died. but they'd be okay. they have lots of love around them. i don't want to go yet though. still got records to listen to.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:55 (ten years ago) link
it has a good reputationxpost

don't let the kids listen to this record though lol!

It's unbelievable that there are only two mentions of "For Those Who Love to Live" on ilx.

I would like to take the time to mention it again though. This song is hard as fuck.

i literally knew no thin lizzy other than BABIT before now. And I have listened to shit-tons of classic rock in cars all my 44 years of life. Weird how these blind spots can happen. Weird and awesome because hello new thing to flip out over!
― Khamma chameleon (Jon Lewis), Monday, 9 June 2014 17:02 (nine years ago) link
whoa 'Emerald' here's the egg for all of Slough Feg's oeuvre!

Yeah, the other stuff doesn't make it on the radio at all ever and it's fucking criminal.
― how's life, Monday, 9 June 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link
my wife seems to think 'Jailbreak' (the song) is pretty standard FM staple. She's from Boston and I'm from Minnesota, maybe it's regional AOR variances...
― Khamma chameleon (Jon Lewis), Monday, 9 June 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link
i turned on the radio a few months ago just as "Cowboy Song" was ending and was like nooooooooooooooooooooo
― some dude, Monday, 9 June 2014 17:17 (nine years ago) link
waht?

nooooo as in like wait i wanna hear the whole thing run it back

Yeah, no, I get that you wanted to hear it. I'm just surprised it was played!

tbf my local classic rock station goes pretty deep in the crates. i just hadn't heard that particular song on there before.
― some dude, Monday, 9 June 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link
What station is it though? I mean, I would be listening to the same station. Last time I listened to the Bay (which was for like a month straight) it was all the same old stuff, and 98 rock seems more modern rock oriented.
― how's life, Monday, 9 June 2014 17:46 (nine years ago) link
oh right, yeah, you live around here! it was The Bay, i'm pretty sure. it's pretty same-old-stuff-ish but i still hear pleasant surprises on there fairly regularly.
― some dude, Monday, 9 June 2014 17:51 (nine years ago) link
cowboy song gets a turn on the classik rock station in Sac every now and then
