Phil Lynott is the kind of guy every singing bassist should aspire to be. Interesting basslines that don't step on the rest of the band but also a cohesive voice that stays interesting even though he isn't doing multiple octave runs. He's like a classic medieval bard singing his tales and playing his instrument. Lovely stuff.

i wish i could forget Thin Lizzy, just to have that feeling of hear them for the first time.

Phil Lynott is an Irish legend, there is a statue of him in Dublin - we love him 😀
A friend of mine played in a Lizzy tribute band ( Thin as Lizzy ) and Phil's mother Philomena regularly attended the gigs, I had the pleasure of sitting with her on several occasions and she was a lovely lady.
Parisienne walkways ( with Gary Moore ) and the live version of Still in love with you ( from Live and Dangerous ) are stunning.
Keep up the good work and more 70's rock please😀

Phil is someone who deserves so much more accolades for his contributions to music. You have so many paths to follow when it comes to his music. One song, he is singing about the Angel of Death, where on another song, he is singing a beautiful song about his daughter "Sarah". The man could segue from hard rock, metal, pop, ballad, punk seamlessly. Man, I miss him. Dig deep into his catalogue and enjoy what you discover.

Some people are critical of Phil Lynott because he doesn't have the kind of rock voice they expect having heard the likes of Bruce Dickinson or Rob Halford. But in the 1970's this was all still new, and there were no rules regarding how you should sing. Phil was an impeccable storyteller with a very intimate and expressive way of communicating with an audience. His phrasing, his ability to sing off and around the beat, is a great part of what makes him so effective.

One of the greatest rock n roll bands ever, they deserve to be ranked up with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Phil Lynott is one of the best singer players there has been, not to mention later on Gary Moore one of the greatest guitar players ever joined the band . Though everyone one that played in the band was incredible.

[RonniePeterson]

The band I saw live more than any other back in the day. I still mourn the passing of Phil. A genuine LEGEND in every sense.

I just love the guitar harmonies Thin Lizzy incorporated in many of their songs.

[TheMichaelseymour]

wow...thin lizzy are my fav band ...but i must say what a natural beauty this woman is

[PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Phil Lynott is one of the most relaxed singers I can think of.

[TheMichaelseymour]

as a producer ...i don't think i would cut or edit any part of this if it were a studio take
...he nailed this live ! I love his voice...never considered him a rangey singer...but he has soul and accuracy. He has the thing that all great have ....you know its him ..nobody sounds like him

[stighenningsen]

The fact that he can play bass and sing at the same time is just amazing. I've heard that it should be quite difficult

[Nopeandnope]

Phil was a genius …. Wonderful songwriter, would like to see you do more Thin Lizzy

[hansenlavhansenlavanderiae]

Phil, Scott, Brian and Robbo: just fantastic!

[JimmyRJump]

You're by far my favourite reactor. You have a vocabulary that is impressingly beautiful and you express yourself with an ease that is so lovely to hear and listen to. Was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy live at the 1983 Reading Rock Festival in England on their farewell tour which had all the members that ever were in the band have their moment. Cheerio lass. Keep on keeping on.

[myutube]

Forget U2. Lizzy is the greatest Irish band ever.

I love this reaction, thanks so much. And a great song on which to start your Thin Lizzy journey, as I've long thought Wild One was one of Philip Lynott's finest vocal performances, and one of the few on which he allowed his natural Irish accent to come to the fore. And what a voice! His unique phrasing and sound, you can't mistake him for anybody else.
Really good of you to pick up on that end-of-line breathiness. That's a bit of a feature of Lynott's vocal style, and pops up all over the place in his songs.

[tenchmagic]

Thanks for this ! Lovely to see you analyse Phil. A unique combination of cool, emotion, killer phrasing, and lyrical genius. Very much missed by millions ❤

[TonyBrandwood-iv]

I was lucky enough to see them twice, once on this tour.

Another overlooked talent that Phil Lynott had was his ability to play all of the bass lines live while he held down all of the lead vocals! Not an easy accomplishment.
