Thin Lizzy - Remember today in 1986...

What a fuckin' tribute to the guy(even though he didn't write the song). Don't you think? Regardless of what you might think of Metallica these days.


I hear ya! That was a very cool tribute to Phill. MAYBE by Metallica doing a tribute, it will open the doors of the Lizzy legend, to the "young'ens" now at days.
 
I was in Toronto in 1992 on that date and the radio I was tuned in was interviewing Scott Gorham remembering the 6th anniversary of Philo's departure.

I was about to go to sleep and I kept myself awake throughout the whole program, hearing music, the interviewed an deeply touched by the fact that Thin Lizzy will never exist again (yes I know the band that is playing with the same moniker around, but I call them Tribute Lizzy :p ).

I was never able to see TL alive. I will never be mesmerized by Lynnot's magic when in the middle of a song he screams Are you there? Let me know you are out there! Let yourselves go!

A words from the man himself in his memory:

"If you see my mother
Please give her all of my love
For she has a heart of gold there
As good as God above
If you see my mother
Tell her I'm keeping fine
Tell her that I love her
And I'll try and write sometime"
