Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords
To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
Children would never play again
From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die
Then onward over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They had come to claim the Emerald
Without it they could not leave

The fact that Tommy added himself hitting himself in the face with a guitar was brilliant

[dannesvanstrom]

Tommy.
Du är fan ett Svenskt geni.
Talang är bara förnamnet!!

[harwoods]

I truly think Thin Lizzy would've been admiring this exceptional cover. 👌👏👏

[tjaben]

50.8k wiews, seriously ?? should have been 50million !
Världens bästa Bodensare 💪

[melissamcintyre]

Hands down best singer n guitarist ever!

[permelin]

You are unbelievable good. I thought I heard the best play when I heard Helloween with Michael Kiske in 1986 and the keeper of the 7 keys, but this is up there and perhaps beyond as well. I just hope that all works out well for you and that you can entertain us for some hundred years more :) Keep up the good work. I just love it :)

In 1978 I saw Thin Lizzy opening for Kansas, can you imagine that show???? And now the Mighty Tommy relives this amazing tune, fantastic as

[elizabethofstainlesshearts]

I remember when I first saw this video and was completely awestruck by how incredibly you play! Seriously, I don't know how anyone could watch this and not recognize your remarkable ability - absolute perfection in both skill and expression. (..And the "guitar duel" part is amazing! I love it! 😄)

[helen_hellfire_dixon]

Having a guitar battle with yourself, awesome 🤘

As an Irishman and a fan of Thin Lizzy since 1985, I'm sure Phil would approve of this amazing cover of their song... Bloody brillant Guitar solos with your twin!

[eleonoragiacomazzi]

What could be better than one Tommy? Two Tommys of course!!!
This was awesome!
I am speechless😲
Thankyou for making Fridays special.
Take care! Hope your tour is going well!

[ЕленаТюрьганова]

Шедевр! Я слушаю эти песни, в исполнении Тонни, с чистого листа, я не знала их ранее.Это так классно, что я влюбляюсь раз и навсегда!❤🎉❤

[barefootwanderer]

Damn man, Gary and Phill and the lads would be proud of this cover. Emerald is my favourite Lizzy song and you did it proud.

[lind]

Loved the duelling guitars! Great choice by the way - play them all! Why not? Cool to see you having so much fun with these covers! I smile with every one! Thank you!

🎸🎸Those Tommieses is Really Compeating! 🎸🎸

[timstoker]

As a huge THIN LIZZY fan, I think that Tommy's Emerald is the best cover I've ever heard. Very good guitar work and the Vocals are special because Tommy didn't try to be Philo, but put his own spin on it, great work Tommy it was a joy to behold. 10/10 and Philo would have loved it🎸🎸🎸

[samandjennysambrook]

Takes me back to 76..this song was the flip side to The boys are back! I used to play it on the juke box in my local pub...much to the annoyance of all the old domino players.😱🤣🤣😂 can't wait to hear you're rendition Tommy.👍💞🎸🎸🎸
