Phil Lynott was a living poem...
John Sykes is a painter who uses a guitar to draw his dreamy music scapes.

Brilliant musical talent on show here!

Phil's songs are truly from the heart.

[ScottDaddyMac]

Phil Lynott was a folk rock, hard rock, heavy metal, pop, funk, jazz, and punk rock star all rolled into one. Seriously one of my biggest influences in my musical life and so many others. Such a tragic end for him but he still lives on through music and always will.

[kurtcobain]

Miss you dearly there with my Dad now x

[batphink]

It pains me to see my Hero in this state, damn it why couldn't Phil have gotten clean? What a massive loss to the music world. You're a cool guy Rick and a tremendous talent! John has gone more or less AWOL from the music biz it seems.

[careful...Icarus]

I so desperately miss Phil and his music. Lately especially his non Thin Lizzy stuff.Really wish he had released more solo records.This lineup easily could have made for a brilliant show. At least we have these fleeting moments to remember.

[declanodonohoe]

You tube suggestions are amazing - This just popped up for me and its great to hear it, Its decades since I last listened to Phil's second solo album

[PolyQuasi]

Every new thing I learn about Rick Wakeman is exponentially magnificent

[Eternus]

Mister Lynott will always be in our hearts. Thanks to Rick for these moments of musical creativity!!!
