It took me a long time to learn to appreciate Thin Lizzy, but they really had some great recordings.

 

[SentinelSlain]

He's a legend.

A great loss for music... RIP Phil

 

[Marco Spain]

Just like "Black Rose"... A rock legend!

One of the greatest artist in hard rock. Thin Lizzy created some of the best twin guitar melodies ever and influenced many other bands, specially Iron Maiden twin guitar sound.

Albums like "Jailbreak", "Johnny the fox", "Thunder and lightning" are simply amazing y some of their songs are so emotional : "Cowboy song", "Black rose", "Emerald", "Holy war"...

Phil = Genius

Thin Lizzy is one of my favorite bands. I had the incredible luck to see them live back in 1978 at the Pink Pop festival here in The Netherlands.

Phil Lynott will never be forgotten. R.I.P.

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

Love Thin Lizzy! Miss Phil big time.

Let's also not forget his excellent collaborations with Gary Moore back in the early 80s, songs like Out In The Fields, Military Man, and Parisienne Walkways.

Never really got into them. Loved Jailbreak but I haven't listened to them much beyond that.

Someday I plan to go back and discover their discography. Too many people have really hyped the band up, and being a sykes fan, it's his only involvement I haven't heard.

Play some Thin Lizzy and some Grand Slam in memory of Phil, a man who left us too soon.

R.I.P. Phil
